Planetary Torus.

I tried making noncorporate polities warm-colored and corporate ones cool-colored. But not sure I got that all right, and sometimes it's ambiguous.

I would like to add that we actually have a decent idea of the time to travel from PortFreeCommerse to Mihira & New Tideland. In the first chapter of Artificial Condition, during the first meeting of Perihelion and MB, we get this line:

"This is why I had been a free agent among humans for less than seven cycles, including time spent alone on a cargo transport, and I already needed a vacation."

So less than seven cycles, but probably not that much less.

Note that it mentions that news could have

"come through a wormhole with one of the faster passenger transport"

Van life ART and MB

PUMNT everyone is doing corporate espionage but no one knows that anyone else is doing corporate espionage

Full week of daily Nullverse chapter blitz immediately followed by Fugitive Telemetry release. Not really a conversation I just don't think I've felt that level of emotional high ever since

Human AU Three being obsessed with owning a million fish all named Drone. This is a straight up fic and not really a conversation either but but it haunts me and I've adopted that line in real life for when people ask me if I've named my worms. They're all named Worm.

unfortunately it’s such a bloodthirsty edgelord that laser tag’s simalcrum of violence is far too pale to satisfy. there isn’t even the fake blood and gore you can get from video games…

Except they don't. They keep it continuously online, give it media, bring it to experience things it never did (flowers, sunrises, planets, etc)

And the CSU hates it in the beginning.

Until it isn't.

Until it starts to notice.

And to want to help.

(They are still SECUnits. It has the program. It just. Never used it. But a fauna attacked and one of its human is hurt now and it was a Useless Hunk Of Metal and they still brought it back and and)

And.

And.

It killed a lot more humans than the fauna.

And.

And.

(What if it is the monster?)
