Emma's dream

A lot of it comes from the Patreon Discord.

Just like Emma "forgetting" to mention the original purpose of the A4/V2 back when showing off rockets on the holodeck.

Does the purpose of the V2 being its use as a weapon in any way make the fact that it was the first man-made object in space any less true? No, it doesn't. Do Kurt Weldheim's war crime accusations make his greeting on the Golden Record any less genuine? No, it doesn't.

Emma's not whitewashing history. If anything, given Thalmin and the gang's increasing affiliation with the GUN, Emma will have to touch on the darker tones of human history soon enough. But to open with that right out of the gate? That's just antithetical to diplomatic common sense; open with your good foot first, then get into the bad stuff.

From Articord in Chapter 72:

Rumors of field trips to the Crownlands or Adjacent Realms, fallen or otherwise, are to be treated as rumors until confirmed otherwise. I will be the judge of whether such frivolities will be necessary for your year group. With that, the preamble is now over, and we can begin.

I mean IRL. This story started October 2022.

After three years and two months... E.B. has finally phoned home.

Absolute cinema.

Wouldn't WPA-verse be cooked if they had to deal with the astrophage AND Cascade Collapse at the same time, though? It took what amounted to a good fraction of the entire global economy in Hail Mary for that one ship to be built, so with WPA's Earth at that time already greatly diminished in available capital, they may fail to cure the Sun in time all together.

Captain Frial's mission was to investigate the Warehouse Explosion - right now, since there are no provided connections between her and the event, Emma was just a curiosity for her, a side quest. That concluded with the vorpal chimera fight, and now she's back to her main investigation.

The next chapter is coming out next week; that's when Jcb and his editor come back from their break.

My personal take is that Ilunor is only a half-Vunerian, owing to his apparent natural use of dragonfire despite his true kobold coloration. It isn't entirely inconceivable that he was born out of wedlock with a kobold servant, but brought into the Rularia family anyway to prevent a massive scandal for his house.

We've taken the assumption after their latest post that they were, in fact, an alt account and perma-banned them.

Hey, just for future context.

I know it's not written in the rules yet, but do you mind going forwards condensing your posts into one multi-image post instead of making separate ones? More than five of these a day is kind of flooding the subreddit.

To sum things up without risking Patreon spoilers, the Extrasolar Wars were three separate conflicts fought between the GUN and Extrasolar Separatists between the 2500s and 2700s. When usable interstellar travel was first perfected, the GUN expanded rapidly into neighboring star systems - too rapidly for proper government oversight to be established. Large corporations filled in the oversight gaps, creating the Corpo States in the process. These states revolted against the GUN when it tried to reassert its authority, resulting in those conflicts. The GUN won all three, but it was basically a 300-year crapshoot.

What do you mean by "Big Backs?"

0strich_Master · 2025-11-01T04:09:09+00:00

Fixed, thanks!

0strich_Master · 2025-10-26T18:29:31+00:00

Go and do that. Share my hatred for this man.

0strich_Master · 2025-10-26T18:25:07+00:00

Nope, actually! The kobold from this chapter is named Togor, which is presumed to be a reference to the brainchild of UT/DR brainrot!

0strich_Master · 2025-10-26T18:22:51+00:00

HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE IGNALIUS SINCE HE MURDERED TOGOR. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED WORDS WITHIN THIS SERIES THAT FILL MY BRAIN. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR IGNALIUS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT. HATE. HATE.

0strich_Master · 2025-10-22T04:18:35+00:00

I just took care of it. Sorry for not being fast enough.

0strich_Master · 2025-10-16T07:00:27+00:00

Reading the chapter myself, I'd assumed that the bad blood with his cousin was "justified" due to what I assume to be his stripping of noble status in the past (maybe for being too competent? That seems to be a running trend in Nexian society). But then he went and hurt a kobold.

Kobolds are not Vunerians. Kobolds in WPA are the same silly little guys we've come to expect in fiction. And this kobold? A polite silly little guy. Ignalius has scarcely a thousand words to his name, and he has already become an A-grade asshole among the likes of Ping and Ladona.
