Cup holders. Good to see Clarke has his priorities correct.
Holland remains an arse.
Well, I certainly hope Max-Earth has some good super-sci-fi bio-contamination sensors and protocols in place. With those that end should (hopefully) be able to wrap up three kengto larvae quickly. Of course I'm assuming both canisters were on the same timer. Still, logically the Max-Earth portal station should be among the best equipped locations for dealing with the nasty things.
Mid-Earth could be in trouble.
The author won't do this, but, with the larvae being between two portals it would be amusing if the larvae scattered back to Max-Earth, where their (assumed) protocols SHOULD (maybe) stop them, and back to Palinor, where there will be a reaction of, "Oh FUCK!" but where the local authorities have knowledge of the creature.
But, nah - that's no fun. Looks like a job for the SDC Special Big Guns Response Squad, where the author won't immediately kill off the Earth Firster removing her future threat. Cuz that would be no fun. Although it would be very George R. R. Martin.
I agree - I think we must be a minority - that people decide to support a writer when they can. On the flip side, I understand the walled garden for paid subscribers, because this is the premise of Substack, albeit, the writer retains control of how they exercise the model.
I don't even read sci-fi or adjacent fiction, and yet, I'm enjoying your work a great deal, along with a few others. There's a lot of sci-fi on Substack!
