From here on, there are only three scenes left to this volume! And interestingly, I feel like I could have ended the book on any of the three, as they each have their own big moment. I went back and forth a few times, trying to decided which was the best one to truly end the book on. This short sequence with Grissom could have worked, but I do think either of the other two following it are much punchier. But it was fun juggling them to see how the relative orders of presentation affected them.
As a side note, the officer is wearing a uniform similar to the USP (Unified Space Patrol) pilots from Chapter 1 that Roka had drinks with. He is part of the same organization but a different detail.
Oh, somebody had fun inventing aliens here.
Heavy punches can knock you out, but the same is true for ones you can’t see.
Griss wasn’t kidding when she said a girl’s got to have some secrets.
