Hello yet again,

 

There seems to be a lot of people looking lately, so I hope that means people are enjoying my tale. From this point on the hex is broken up on different missions. The first entry in this submission follows our patient as she recovers consciousness. Though it isn’t said directly, T acts more than a little adolescent, a result of having spent most of her life in a cataleptic state, so she never experienced growing up in the mental/emotional way hominids normally do. I hope I got the show:tell balance right. Is it apparent that emotional immaturity is her problem, is it too obvious, or too subtle? (what would Goldilocks say?)

 

The second entry is an assassination from the POV of the alien assassin. It isn’t exactly plot relevant, but part of showing the reader what is happening in the story world, and makes a brief connection to the machinations of the Church.
