Ah, right, some more data on how well a megaship can function on Palinor.
One would assume a megaship would have some sort of fusion reactor (scooping fuel off gas giants as needed) with solar panels as backup when in Earth orbit or closer to the sun.
Presumably the reactor(s) shut down immediately upon transit through the portal leaving only battery backups.
And here, as stated, Just Enough's body is using a lot more power than Justin's.
Now, how much of Just Enough does Justin have copied into his own local storage? To put it another way, how much of Just Enough would survive in Justin if they lose their main core?
I think I've intuited what Justin and Just Enough have calculated, but it's a speculation I'm not dropping here. If I'm right and others don't see it, I don't wanna spoil it.
A gripping read. You’ve nailed the final stand vibe. I particularly liked the contrast between the clinical, analytical tone of Justin, with his distinct lack of useful data, and the physical toll the magic takes on Lola.
Visually, more like Moya from Farscape, but pitch black. Similar sized, probably, too — I think a bit smaller than TNG Enterprise, and certainly nothing like the scale of a Death Star.

Hope we don't find out.

See you on WhatsApp, Simon.
Luv your reading
Thanks, Kerrie! I think I'm slowly getting a bit better at it. :D

Thanks! Very reassuring to hear that. The pressure to not mess up this part of the story has been immense :D
Are the megaships like the Enterprise, or more like the Death Star?
