My apologies for the delays on the new story I announced some time ago. I have been very sick and unable to do much beyond my daily work (if that). I am recovering at last, though.

The original story for EoS has been split into two - one, with the original target species, as a speedwriting request; the other, with the same characters and scenario, as a longer, more planned story commission (this version is EoS). I will continue working on EoS and tackle the speedwriting in early February. No finish date is set for EoS at this time.
