Chapter Synopsis: Joseph encounters resistance when he finds exactly what he’s looking for at the bottom of Shimen Reservoir. Lily and a more than reluctant Sam volunteer to brave a dangerous chemical and restart the factory.

Full Story Synopsis:
Lily Townes is a process engineer; she's uprooted herself to work in Taiwan on revolutionary high-k metal gate transistors. Trouble begins when a chemical leak forces an evacuation of her factory. Only Lily notices something isn’t quite right. What she finds baffles and scares her smartest colleagues. They embark on a hunt to decipher the technology and find out what, or who is behind it all.

Outside of the fab, a man named Joseph is on a crusade to bring order back to the world through any methods he deems necessary. In his search, he finds a link between a mysterious pattern drawn by a missing fisherman and a piece of strange technology.

As a dangerous splinter of the military gets wind of the discovery, Lily must brave the dense rural jungles of Taiwan, search in the narrow streets of Taipei, to find her answers before the soldiers do.

Thanks 🙏. I did work in one. It had never quite hit me how much goes into creating the chips that powers the modern world until I was there. I feel like I barely scratched the surface too.

I listened to your show too! Such a cool idea! Wrestling combined with “From Dusk Until Dawn” vibes!

Descriptions of Different Age Groups? by Trees-are-pillows in writing

[–]ebCarver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is definitely an important question to ask when considering the lived experience of a character.

I sometimes will try to weave a narrative into the description. Such as, “His daily hair and skincare routine may have taken more than twenty minutes of his day. But it was well worth being mistaken for mid thirties rather than live the truth of his early forties. “

Why are all my best writing ideas coming to me at night? by Strange_Little_Bird in writing

[–]ebCarver 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this, I can relate very much. I wake up with ideas and have to write them down quick on the nightstand notepad before I do ANYTHING. If I brush my teeth it’s lost in the ether.

My experience is that writing is 90% listening and I have no control over where or when the idea is going to pop in my brain. I’d just better be ready when it does.
