They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.
Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.
Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.
Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

I dunno if it was autocorrect, but who is Prince Edward the Brave? Not anybody I have ever written about. I may be hurting for reviews but still insist on real people writing real ones so I hope that is the case.

One platform having given me something which looks suspiciously like a genAI review, I may just do the ARC distro solely through BookFunnel instead of forking it between platforms.

![What:
An addition ~10,000 words
2 additional intimate scenes (including a lesbian threesome)
Better Death Scene for [Spoiler]
More Clues as to what is happening in the next book!
He/Him Lesbian is more obviously a He/Him Lesbian (literally if you do not get it this time, that’s on you.)
Lesbian Polycule is more obvious (seriously, see above)
Why:
I’m an indie author, I do what I want
Writing Book #3 (Shackles and Shards) made me realize I forgot some things in Book 2 (Smoke and Steel)
I got tired of people misgendering Arishaki as a straight man when he’s a he/him lesbian.
Despite being known to write polyamorous lesbians, I guess my brand was not enough and I needed to fix that.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7ajo5wrxtzruen5kyrezq4ro/bafkreifghbpufun3wklj2ubm4p3fbgpqetftyoiac7dahl4w6giyahiwsu@jpeg)

The 28th to the 2nd were the busiest days I've had since summer ended. Soon it will get way quieter. But my job is unusual that way.

Hopefully, with an anti-sag bracket installed and all these other fixes, it should work now. Also, glad to see the RAM never get mentioned.

Before the PC was even sent for repair they suspected the i9 chipset BIOS/overheating issue had cooked the CPU so that was replaced as expected. But also the GPU was apparently sagging half way out the bracket and the fans were not cooling properly due to incorrect software controlling them.

In slightly happier news, my PC should be fixed and the warranty entirely covered it.
