imagine if they make a novel about after the 9 years like an epilogue would be ironic
8 years and they did time skips in the game so why not in real life? Also the khemia happens 2-3 years after Adastra so they cant wait another 8 years!
I hope.
Imagine they make a novel set 100 years after mission complete. Remember, life-extending green beans in a capsule.
