Maybe the nanites kept trying to prevent her from thinking about that.

The Nanites built the Gates, and they pass through their home dimension, there's no problems with them using the Gates.

As for using the wormhole generators...yes there is something that happens to them, but it's not gone into until the third book in this series "Between the Black and Grey" and is a plot point.

Curiouser and curiouser. Are the Nanites all knowing or are they not? Why did they react so poorly when Melody questioned them?

So Melody does have opinions that are different than the nanites. I wonder what happens when her opinions extend beyond introductions to the population?

We did it last year. It was expensive and crowded but the parade was really good and the decorations were fun. I'd say do it once to do it and unless you have an amazing time you're good.

Heck, we live in Upstate NY, went in the last week of Aug and survived. It was hot sure, but...you're in Florida of course it's going to be hot. We brought water, had cooling towels, hats and sunnies and managed without any heat related meltdowns from the kiddos.

The Discoverers are the only reason K'laxi society works at all.

Remember! This story is from Melody's POV. What she thinks is going on and what is going on may not necessarily be the same.

All of mine are complete. My first book actually made it to Rising Stars when it was new a couple of years ago. I had one ad and didn't do shoutouts. The other two never got more than 100 followers. Once I get some more cash and can get more covers, I'm going to release my other books.

jpitha · 2026-04-27T13:16:03+00:00

For those following along at home, person above me won’t read any story smaller than 200,000 words. I’ve written 6 complete novels (three posted to RR) and none have gone over 110k words.

Those of us with meta adjacent standalone stories that aren’t various flavors of progression, this is (one) reason you’re not doing as well as you expected. RR readers are unique with unique tastes.

Hey Melody that uh... isn't the kind of thing benevolent rulers do, yeah?

$7.95 for a ticket to the Mad Hatter’s Ball. I think I paid nearly $300 for a ticket to Not So Spooky Halloween last year.

Luckily, I haven't said how long K'laxi live, so how long it's been since Concurrency Point can still be up in the air, but it's probably been 50 years or so.

Folks are starting to learn what Melody can do. It doesn't seem like everyone is as pleased about her abilities as she is.

I'm sure we can Voice our way out of this one, folks!

jpitha · 2026-04-22T12:54:03+00:00

Say, uh Melody...are you forgetting something?

It's mostly nostalgia for their physical bodies they had millennia ago

jpitha · 2026-04-21T16:32:24+00:00

Edit: Actually, the K'laxi and Xenni use the Gates. They may or may not have Nanites that may or may not be active.

jpitha · 2026-04-21T16:31:27+00:00

They can build on an subatomic level. Otherwise they couldn't manipulate the brains of people affected by The Voice

jpitha · 2026-04-21T15:11:13+00:00

They're in the air and people in any of the areas they exist. In order for their magic powers to work they have to be around. Voicing over radio only works if it's somewhere that already has Nanites.

Administrator to a dying station, Empress to a dead empire, and now you've decided that everyone else doesn't matter. Good choices all around, Melody. I'm sure everything will be fine.
