This is awesome! I get the feeling this is going to be a fun series to write. You’ve carried over the sarcasm of the original piece, perfectly. []o) – The “About time!” appear to be malfunctioning like the D47-T, hehe.
Classic, straight-forward sci-fi stuff. I appreciated the jump to the empress’ point of view here for the sequel as well. Simple style, but that works, as opposed to some of us who get too flowery.
