Sorry about your RL issues. Since the boards have been so slow lately, I'm guessing that's true for a lot of folks.
Love this latest installment, especially the last two paragraphs. I won't give away any spoilers here, but am looking forward to the next chapter and eventually learning everything about Aykira. And I think I need a re-read on your Strangers story in the meantime. As if I need an excuse to re-read your stories; just need to find the time!
