I like the way you’ve taken the focus off the mystery and action to inject some humanity.

Good to see you return to this series! Another good addition to the arc.

I like it, good description of the sobering moment of loss. with the sense of detachment by watching it on a svreen when its happening on the same ship. (though a very big ship)

Seamless entry. Undoubtedly yours though.
