Book of Space Lore Review - Parts 7,

about 1 month ago

Good day everyone! This is a series reviewing a fiction story I collabed with @therneau and then getting back into writing this story as explained in this post.

The story is that of the Book of Space Lore which is a story I co-authored with @therneau up to a point. I am a little out of touch with the whole story and that is why it would be a great if I reviewed a few chapters at a time, discussed the parts of the story and start collating a Dramatis Personae and a Glossary of terms.

If you would like to read the previous reviews:

So we shall be reviewing the following parts:

Book of Space Lore - Log SLZT: 7

Finally, there needs to be a spoiler warning...

Warning, Spoilers below!l

Part 7

This part started to bring a lot of new information to the story in its totality.

The first part speaks of J5 still changing and now with multiple eyes checking on the two humans that he put into unconscious states. He cares for their wellbeing and does not intend to kill them.

Meanwhile he is still making changes to the Lazarus Falchoin and he is "glad" that the humans are not around to be disturbed by the changes. It also tells us that the original G5 was far inferior to the AI of the ship but now the advanced and modified J5's AI was bossing the ship's AI around.

In fact J5 was pushing the ship to such an extent that it would cause damage to itself as long as J5 made the optimal time to his destination.

J5 also detected that he was being watched and followed by another ship that was not of human manufacture, but was "just as primitive".

Meanwhile the other ship is introduced. The Pathfinder XVIII is a much larger vessel with quite a bit of crew on board.

There is a Captain Freyai Codine, Chief Engineer Ingth, Navigator Khree, Pilot G'Kyelle and Specialist Dr. Aujak.

The crew is multi-species with the Captain having four arms and two brains. The Navigator Khree is also wearing a suit as oxygen is toxic to it.

G'Keylle is called a "she" but no other description was given. This was done to give @therneau some space to add his own details should he want to add.

Specialist Aujak is a cyborg human and in this section it explains that he WOULD make a lot of trouble for the crew of the vessel since he was one of the few males, but that he would not since he was a cyborg.

This part infers that the crew of the Pathfinder XVIII has a lot of human females on it and females of other species.

We do not know about the gender of Khree or Ingth at this point.

End.

That's it, this is all I am reviewing this week because this part contained a LOT of info to review!
