Hi all, I've been away since the 14th of December in sunny
Cairns, my aunt & cousin live inland in
Mareeba, so I spent X-Mas with them, then down to the beach in Cairns.
Cairns? Cool! I never knew it existed until I got hooked on Sea Patrol that was shot there. In a different world, I would have grown up on the Gold Coast...after the war, my dad and a buddy had a chance to buy a cement plant there that had become surplus. Dad always had a knack of knowing what places were going to be profitable/expand/etc., but decided to return to the States where his fiance was waiting...and then quickly realized that it wasn't going to go anywhere because she wouldn't leave the west coast and he wanted to return to the east.

Commander Victor Kailo sipped his water and then wiped the condensation that was on his hand onto a linen napkin. He studied the two foreigners who sat across from him, Major Galloway Benton, and Major Marbry Cazaux, and wondered not for the first or twentieth time whether they were telling anything close to the truth.
...These aren’t the “two foreigners”, those are
Lieutenant Yuri Kovacs &
Imperatoria Principis Ceska Eventine; Benton & Cazaux were with him interrogating them.

Actually...based on my Little, Brown Handbook of Grammar, it's gramatically correct since it's listing the people he was looking at: two foreigners, Benton, and Cazaux. An argument could be made (and the book was a little ambiguous on this, that the comma after Cazaux is extraneous, but since I used the Oxford comma (after Benton), it's ok. That said, I can see how there may be some confusion.

As for the story.
I've almost stopped reading it a couple of times, not because it's bad, far from it, rather it's the length of time between chapters that's the problem. At a rate of 1 chapter per year we'll all be dead of old age before it's finished. But that said, every time a new chapter gets posted I feel the NEED to read it.
And the way the last couple have been/will be posted so quickly is fanBLOODYtastic!
This time gap between chapters is another possible reason why people aren't commenting, they simply don't know a new chapter is out.
I do hope you keep the story coming, as much as the year long waits frustrates the hell out of me, the story as a whole is fantastic!
Last year wasn't a good year for a lot of reasons and was perhaps the worst year of my life, and that isn't exaggerating. Let's just say that I was walking a very dark path that thankfully I got off of.

“Thank you,” Bogger said and turned his head, exposing his neck.
“What’s that?” Cronus asked. “This is going to be a learning process for all of us, so we’ll have a lot of questions.”
“It’s a sign of respect…like how humans shake hands,” Cerdic offered and did the same.
“We’re baring our neck…giving you the opportunity to end us should you want.”
“First thing…no more of that,” Cronus sighed. “We’re going to work together; I’m not going to rip out your throat. Ok?” He offered his hand.
Hummm...who knew Cronus could be something other than a dick!
Like Cronus said, “I’ll admit that I’ve been a bastard in the past, sometimes for good reason and sometimes just because I felt like it, but that was then, this is now." He knows he was an asshole and embraces it!
