I've had discussions with people, mainly over on Terrafirma, about how this story ended. While I thought that I had the main story arc satisfactorily concluded, and all I had left dangling were some secondary plots, some readers disagree. So I have story arcs both on Earth and in deep space to tie up to keep readers happy, and no ideas at present as to how to do this.
OK, so not a chapter, but a statement of intent: I will spend time over the summer thinking about the ending of this story with the intent of providing more of an ending, both to the main arc and to the subplots. This will probably be in the form of a sequel. I've no ideas at the moment, but late night cheese is a wonderful thing. Plus, let me know if you have any thoughts, as it might kick start an idea for me.
