Long version: I'm a whimsical asshole. I'm starting a different story to stop myself from being burnt-out with this one. (I'm seriously sorry that I haven't updated in a while, I know I'd be pissed if I was in your situation.)

  Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

  If my new story gets approved, there's a supplemental explanation in the synopsis, if not, expect "notice 3.0". It's sci-fi with mechs, check it out. It's also some of that nice VR bullshit if you're interested.

  Expect an interlude or something soon-ish
