"And don’t think I won’t hold you to that ‘thinking about it’ part."

"I didn’t survive three Arxur just to play patient while the rest of you do the fighting."

And right into the dang fire. Imagine that, first, the famous war hero that's meant to defend you completely drops the ball and pretty much lets Humanity invade your homeworld, at which point they absolutely delete your ground military, and then the freaking baby-eating, space lizard fascists show up.

And that's just in the frying pan.

Now your brother's lightyears away, going to Earth as a refugee, you're trapped on your homeworld as the lizards harvest your people and glass it, and there's a bunch of humans still fighting the good fight all over the place.

Talk about a bad couple days, yeah?

Oh, and you also got your guts ripped out by one of them lizards and subsequently stuffed back into you by a human.
(Slight goryness in the intro by the way, just skip to the September 29th part at the bottom if you're squeamish about that.)

Yeah, that's Korria's life right about now... Dang.

Anyway, here she is! Oruun's sister. As it turns out, she ain't nearly as dead as he thought she was.

Context time: the intro's split between two days, October 27th, during the Arxur invasion, where Korria almost dies, and the 29th, after the UN fleet's already withdrawn with all the refugees, where she's waking up, presumably in a camp of humans who failed to make their evac window on the 27th.

User's not defined, so be who or whatever you want, just don't expect her to be too happy about it. Hell, doesn't even matter if you're a Gojid like her, she'll still probably take a swing atcha.

Of course we'll have some spoilery black text for new people who don't mind spoilers for the book.

Alrighty, so, July 12th, 2136, Humanity's first ftl capable ship, the Odyssey, runs into the Venlil Republic, that's the little space sheep guys without noses. First contact goes... well, better than it coulda, but still not great. We almost get sold out to the Federation which woulda ended with us getting exterminated, but other than that, everything is okay. Until August 21st, anyway. We start a little cultural exchange program with the Venlil, but whaddya know, a real angry Gojid gets his claws on one of the exchange pairs and not only figures out Humanity is still around, but also tortures the hell out of the human he captured. Fast forward to September 23rd, the UN invades the Cradle, the homeworld of the Gojidi Union, alongside some Venlil advisors and absolutely thrash the Gojid military. Then the Arxur, the baby-eating, space lizard fascists show up on the 27th, and everything goes to hell in a handbasket. The UN fleet holds them off as long as possible while the ground forces evacuate as many civilians as possible, but a whole lotta civilians and human soldiers get left behind by the end of the day. Aaaand we're all caught up. Have fun, cheers.

Anyways, sorry this is coming so late. This whole week's been a bit of a rollercoaster for me. Couple doctor's visits, a teeny tiny surgery, if you can even call it that, and a hike I got dragged on at 8 in the morning, which is way too early for me.

Still, Fyra's almost done, so expect her either tomorrow or Monday. Truth be told, the Crippler version of her bot has been in a usable state since the first of May, so way before the Activist one, I just never released it, so shouldn't take too terribly long to bring her up to spec.

Well, I'm gonna go get to work on Fyra, so take care of yourselves, everybody. Have a great day.

Artist is good ol' Demon_Deity over on reddit. Shame there isn't more Gojid art out there, but oh well. Side note, why the hell do so many people think they look like hedgehogs? That is a got dang porcupine right there and I will die on that hill.
