Hi everyone!
Here's the latest chapter, fresh from the keyboard!
I've done a first pass of edits on the first half and a quick check on the second. I'll go through the rest as I received them from my editors, then update the post with a final tag as usual.
Not much else to add, I hope you enjoy it!
Oh, I'll start work on ebook4 tomorrow, so with a bit of luck, you might have that before Christmas!

Tefler
It's up now, sorry to keep you waiting!
Tefler
Sorry for the delay, I got distracted working on 116 and the eBook. I posted the final version. :-)
David Shmilowitz
I think he enjoys teasing us. It's only as effective as it is because of how good his writing is though, so I'm glad for that.
TEFLER can i please dear lord get a final on this chapter its eating me from the inside out
David Shmilowitz

Tefler

I don't know about anyone else but going this long without a new chapter or update is though.
Tefler, I can't find where anyone else has pointed this typo out, but in the scenes with Fat Tony and his girls, when Perl has mounted Tony, there is this: "This was new for him too as Perl melted into his arms, the blissful expression on HIS face making his heart skip a beat. " I think that should read HER face.

I think RL will have washed over Tef, and I’m afraid that’s more important anytime, especially this time of the year. Tefler, if you see this, my most sincere thanks for all the excitement, suspense, fear, arousal and amusement that you have given me, and continue to give with this wonderful story. You can take great pride in the pleasure you are now bringing to a lot of people. May you and your family have a wonderful and joyous Christmas. I look forward to the New Year and seeing where your inventive and fertile imagination takes this story next. Very best wishes Tim

My file date is 12/20 and 106KB - the file from 12/15 was 105KB
When I download the latest version of the file, the file date is 12/15, not 12/20. Please advise

there is a line at the start of page 4 as they are dropping out of hyperwarp in front of the Kirrix that seems like its missing a couple of words to make better sense?? {“I’d like to see how they react when they see us instead of sneaking up on them,” John said}

A remarkable read...my hat is off to you as usual!!!!!!!!!
Tefler
Thanks for the feedback everyone! This was a bit of a different chapter to write, as I wanted to show some of the human suffering of the people assaulted by the Kirrix, which I'd glossed over beforehand. Aside from the Kirrix murdering children which is appalling in itself, those adults that survived infestation would still be left with very deep scars. Helene is the Lion's answer to that, helping the colonists on Brecken's World and Valia Gate. Unfortunately, her development was too late to help those on Carolus III... I've updated a new version which fixes a bunch of typos, so thanks for pointing those out. I tweaked the bit about Krisalei looking through opaque crystal, so that it's clearer that she's unarmoured because it's one-way glass. :-)
Tefler
She's a good girl. ;-)
Tefler
Ah, well spotted! Thank you. :-)
Tefler
That's a nice idea. Perhaps when I do a Dana commission, I might put one in the background of her workshop. :-)
Tefler
Thank you very much for the edits! I've updated the posted version so they should all be fixed now.
Tefler
I went with a semicolon in the end. :-)

I enjoyed the chapter very much. I think Tony could make for some good training for the girls and assist fae in designing other challenging training scenarios for the team. He has some street level combat experience to come up with some tactical training that might prove useful for them. Like if punching some asshole in the chest doesn't work. Maybe the answer isn't to punch harder but punch lower. You wont be able to over power every enemy you meet. Presumably there are others as strong or powerful as you or even more so. Knowing how to make their strength a weakness will be important. This is training the girls could get without John being involved for once. Why.. Because he hasn't dealt with his dark guide yet. Also yea the two life long whores (no offense) might have some tricks up there sleeves and next time one of the girls needs a top up right quick a prostate pinch or the back door mini drill might be in order for John at his surprise I'm sure. Lol
tony
i just wonder how the ship and crew would fare vs the borg or the xenomorphs, now that would be an epic fight vs the borg.......hmmmmm, i wonder..................

another well written chapter. Risking a wave of negative feed back I have to say that at the end of the chapter I was left less than satisfied. The writing and story telling was fine but my expectations left me hanging (and there was no cliff hanger!!) - not the Great Creators fault but my own. I liked how the prompt for Faye to consider her matriarch like status was worked in (you are a real girl just a different reality) - leaves scope for development. I like others wondered about Alyssa and Dana looking to expand their sexual prowess with Keli and Perl - device or not. I was surprised that Alyssa's reaction to Fat Tony was so tempered compared to her first reaction - makes sense the mellowing but 100 to 0 seemed a bit more than anticipated. if Tony was not there would John really have recruited Kelli and Perl as lionesses? Really? Still wondering how they will get to go back to karron and the artifact. Good call by Jade about John and her sisters - watch for further developments. Thanks Tefler for your story and your time - looking forward to ebook 4 and in the new year the next chapter. Hope you and your family have time to enjoy and celebrate the birth of the Christ child and importantly your being together. live long and prosper!

You're forgetting how much exposure to Terran culture the Maliri get through Terran entertainment channels.
“The lady doth protest too much...” is a Terran cultural reference likely to be lost on the Maliri twins. Perhaps switch it to "Your Royal Thrallness doth protest too much..." I think a phrase like "Your Royal Thrallness" would be very useful during their roleplaying, and would likely appeal to Irillith since it simultaneously acknowledges her nobility and subjugation. There could possibly be lines from John like: "My apologies, Your Royal Thrallness, but this lesson must be repeatedly pounded home until you adopt a civil tone."
Sean Miller
Getting a truce going so they could rescue as many of the colonists as possible and denying herself her instinct to dish out justice? You know, I think they'd be pretty damned pleased about that.
Wonder how the colonists would've reacted if they knew that Alyssa could blast the kirrix out of existence but had settled for a truce instead?
TACHYON CANNON,,,, we really need an updated list of weapon installed on Invictus
I would have thought they are well experienced, that Perl or Kelli would e able to teach a lot.
Am I the only reader who feels that, with all the sex, positions, scenarios, kinks etc that Alyssa & Dana have had over the last few months, do either really need tips from Kelli or Perl?
Jedi Khan
They've done it already, when they went shopping on Terra before the award ceremony.
mark
page 67 has "Lilyana blushed at the earnest praised and shared a shy smile with the assassin." Where "praised" should be "praise"
I disagree, and think there should be more sex. John and crew all realize the tactical importance of his magic cum, so one of the ladies should (at minimum) get a quick liquid breakfast when he wakes up every morning. If not, he is wasting his most valuable resource.
eclipse
yeah should be semi-opaque or (better) translucent...
not going throuugh all comments just an first sighted on my part, page 29, the sentence is and let me look into your mind, I can see exactly †that ‡what happened.”
MARK W TALBOT
Am I missing something? How can you look out an opaque window? I thought opaque meant you can’t see through it.
Mark P
How about the twins wearing holo projectors like the Admiral does and disguise their Maliri appearance?
TranceR
A good chunk of the story was sex. At this junction of the tail I thought it would be more substance,instead of sex/flash. Good chapter though
Great Chapter Tefler, love this story.
Mapper
I had the exact same thought. Maria Fernandez has also been hearing (and teasing) about "growth spurts" all throughout the story.
James Hârn
Love it! And love the way Edraele's thinking towards the end there...
At long last the essential tagline appears: “Amazing what three square meals will do for a girl...”
Tefler, great chapter! I noticed that Evan had a few suggested edits early on in the posting, so I did not include those here. A few other suggested edits for Chapter 115 are as follows: Page 14: “Basically(,) a turret-mounted version of the Tachyon rifles!”; Page 15: but I all feel your (feel all of your) emotions and theirs every time you get together...; Page 26: Apparently(,) he wasn’t just a dumbass who put his life on the line for a couple of whores,; Page 32: at the bottom of page Manganus IV should be (Menganus); Page 43: Dana knew that to be able (to) use a less resilient material,; Page 57: Dana placed a hang (hand) on Alyssa’s shoulder and gave the brunette a reassuring smile.; Page 65: the ochre vessels obliterated in a point(-)blank bloodbath that must have been a truly terrifying sight.; Page 66: Opening up the fleet interface, she ordered, “All vessels, hold fire unless fired open (upon).”; Page 66: Initiating a battle at point(-)blank range is... inadvisable.”; Page 69: “If we don’t pick up any ships, I’d still like to do a scan (of) the settlements for life signs.; Page 69: “That was more blind luck that(n) skill,”; As always, if you disagree, I completely understand. Good luck with eBook 4. Enjoy the holiday season, and Cheers!

Thanks, this story is and awesome piece of work!
Dana, who towered over the petite brunette, standing 5’11” in her heeled boots, compared to Kelli’s five-foot-even.

Hi Jedi, am I looking in the right place? - I can’t see any reference to LK’s ship. I wonder if the text has already changed, or if i’m being dumb missing something that’s under my nose. [i vote for the latter😉]
Jedi Khan
Well now, the appearance of LK's ship at the end of the chapter, just before the Raptor jumps out to hunt the Kirrix, was certainly an unexpected twist. I have to wonder what LK was doing there. Is he there to invite John for tea, or could it be that John finally has the drop on him? If only John knew that LK was so close. Finding out what happens next is one New Year's Resolution that I intend to keep.
Amathew2
Loved the TSM reference.
good call
Excellent chapter Tefler!

If Dana actually manages to build a psychic communications device for the Ashana they could use that to give Fae the telepathy she wants.
Roy Benavides
That was yet another amazing chapter! Can't wait for more!
Thanks and here is to you and yours' a very Merry Christmas.
andrew finlayson
Great chapter Tefler, as always :) One error though "All vessels, hold fire unless fired open.” Should be, "fired upon". Have a great Christmas and look forward to 2019.

For shame John! Assuming the gender of 47's Governor XD. Other than that thanks for the Christmas present Tef, hope you have a great Christmas and even better new year

Thank you!

This chapter had some of the feel of much earlier chapters - nicely done.

Thanks - God Jul (Merry Christmas)
Thanks Telfer, just made my night.
Marry fu**ing Christmas
More please

I'm hoping one of Jade's sisters or at least Faye's avatars is keeping an eye on the guest wandering around the ship. Being left completely alone is rarely as beneficial as a person thinks it is. Great chapter! Loving how it's all going.
morris ridgeway
Thank you. Merry Christmas.
Bigfoot
Tefler - While you are commissioning artwork for this series, have you considered doing so for the maintenance bots? Every time one of them salutes John, I chuckle and would love to see if what I am imagining is close to what you created. I can see Faye and Thirteen working in Dana's workshop.
Evan
Tefler, a thoroughly enjoyable addition to your previous work. Thank you.

Score!!!
thank you

"other Terran subconscious'" -> "other Terran subconsciouses" - thinking you wanted a plural and not a possessive, there.

See Christmas again, and early too!
