vr_trakowskiNow posted. I really have to start finishing my chapters earlier. This time I got bit by the smut fairy, and that always takes forever.

cincoflex did the banner. Is it not gorgeous? :D
First off, someone did already tell Jupiter about the destabilizations, but I can't remember who mentioned it--and to be fair, she probably didn't even hear it at the time. People kept dumping information on her head and she really didn't have time to process it all.
I am always hesitant to introduce named OCs. Not necessarily those like Dr. Thompson, who has a part to play, but the sort of side/background characters needed to fill things out. It's so hard to make them believable, and in this case ten (!) are more than a few. But an honor guard needs enough people to allow for time off, and so ten it is, to make a dozen with Caine and Stinger. And I have named all of them, even though they may never get named on screen, as 'twere.
I have no idea what Forthwith and Laur are spliced with.
Edsel is, by extension, Cinco's fault. :P
ETA (I forgot!): Essentials of Economic Theory As Applied to Modern Problems of Industry and Public Policy actually exists, but it was written by John Bates Clark, a neoclassical economist born in 1847. I needed a worthy title; I admit I haven't read the book.
I sometimes wonder if people find this story too slow. Let me tell you, it's gonna pick up in another couple of chapters... *evil laugh*
