Chapter 16, the epilogue, and the promised character list are in the queue for posting tomorrow. Prior to uploading, I plan to fix any reported typos throughout the story. This is a plea for you to report anything that you notice or question. My usual final proof reader, TomKen, is away, so I want to fix as much as possible before the story is published in its final form. As I related earlier, Medik_4_7 and two readers did yeoman's work in polishing this story, but TomKen (as did some of you) seems to catch stuff that we've missed when we read and read and read.
Chapter 16 tells the story of the extraction of a Kentucky woman who "shines with the wrong kind of light." This isn't the harem's last pickup before departure, but it is the last one in this story.
Next, Lolli and Helva have a final word for Earthat's REMFs, and the colony ships depart the system.
