Very nice story and best use of a "rounding error" ever! 😁

Cheers, thank you Greenskin! Yeah, as much as the DAO are logical and driven by that, it still felt right to give them SOME SENSE of humor! 😁

I enjoyed the imagery of a canyon frozen in flowing green crystal, encapsulating the encroaching DAO. Nicely done!

Developer

Encroaching DYNASTY, but YES! Thank you so much!

I like it! The setting is really strong - it avoids rote sci fi tropes while still feeling really alien and cool!

Developer

Thank you! Yeah, I don't mind alien cultures in scifi, but I prefer them to be more relatable that gawk-worthy for their weirdness. It makes their characters easier to invest in. People are people, after all, alien or not.

This was a super fun read, I enjoyed the clever use of resources!

Developer

Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words!

Not bad. I like the main characters “improvise, adapt, overcome” mentality when faced with insurmountable odds. Seems to play with the concept of “300” alongside the nerdy warrior (and there are a lot of those). Good job.

Developer

I appreciate that! I actually hadn't even thought about 300 but that's a very fair comparison! Thank you!

STORY DESCRIPTION:
The DAO Union & Eternal Dynasty have been uneasy neighbors for years. Now, after Clan Xhao has launched a surprise attack on a mostly unarmed DAO Union Research Station located in neutral space, Security Coordinator Ni'lak must find a way to protect the civilian researchers in his care, or see them turn into the first casualties of a bloody war.
