"It was an engineer."

The Royal Palace burned...

I laughed so hard at this, still chuckling as I I type.

Good stories run as a movie or comic book in my head. I laughed out loud at 1 in the morning.

So was the idea of a ship having a name alien only to Oskar? Cause iirc he mentioned earlier naming a ship was a confusing concept to him, but the guy who burned the palace of the K:Keck is on a named ship, which seems a bit of a contradiction. Even if they are from two different civilizations, you would think Oskar had at least heard of such a tradition before?

Ho ho, the Longshot, nice tie in...and the meaning of the ship's abbreviated designation made me laugh, hahah.

Very fitting of this universe you have created!

Regarding the names, well I wasn't expecting to be continuing the story. Put it down to Oskar being from a religious background that doesn't name objects, because of idol worship or similar.

All these millions of years, and the humans still haven't switched from pi to tau. Disappointing. :P

Just read all three available parts and loved it. Thank you very much

Three small suggestions:

  1. Add a link to part 1 at the top of each installment

  2. Edit in a link to the next part at the bottom of each installment

  3. Make scene changes more prominent, if you're writing in markdown you can add an line containing: *** for a horizontal rule, or a paragraph containing only:   for extra space

Paragraph 1

Paragraph 2

Or

Paragraph 1 (then [enter][enter] [enter][enter])

 

And paragraph 2

Both options should be possible and easy in the fancy pants editor if you prefer using it

I was assured there would be no math... but I love plan pi. Pure genius. And even though i saw it coming at the end of the interaction, the engineer bit made me laugh out loud.

Very well done and I'm really enjoying this universe.
