Surprise! Trying to use my getting back from Paris as a reset to do a better job of carving out my writing time in the morning. And as promised, Chapters drop when I finish them haha.
Once more, this is NOT Chapter 34v2. This is a NEW Chapter 34 that will go before Hiroto hears about Sarah transferring!
It's short, but it does a few things I wanted it to!
*********
BOOK 3 CONTENT/SPOILERS ARE NOT TO BE MENTIONED OUTSIDE OF CHAPTER LEAK ANNOUNCEMENT POSTS. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.
*********
A FEW RULES & REMINDERS:
Chapters will be dropping as Bryce completes them. That means anywhere from every 1 to 2 weeks on average, though sometimes waits may be longer. BRYCE IS NOT A FULL-TIME AUTHOR.
Recall that these are rough chapters, with no editing other than a single pass-through as Bryce writes.
On a similar note, we are not asking for advice or corrections at this time. If Bryce wants feedback, we will certainly reach out, thank you! If you want to voice concerns or complaints about the chapter, you may now do so over on the Reddit discussion thread below! Notifications are turned off on those conversations, so they're a free-for-all now (within the rules of the subreddit, obviously)!

Right! The anticipation of their meeting and how it is going to go down is killing me! Will they get along, will they argue? Especially after her comment about ākilling himā I cannot wait to see if she will approach him and say she hates her parents too or hates him for existing lol SO many juicy ways this can go!
Lawrence Dillon
ā¦. I want to meet the fated sister!!! Give me awkward!!! šš¤£
Wraithmarked Creative
yup! going to toss it up tomorrow along with a 34v2!

Thanks for the chapter, but is there any chance we could get a consolidated "the story so far"? Please? I've absolutely no idea anymore which chapter read in which order (last read chapter for me was 25 or so...)
Dan
That too , could be a possibilityā¦.only Bryce knows for sure!
TDL
Has anyone considered Jasper might be the culprit? She requested updates for her boss, doesnāt have children and knows things most will never know.
Travis Snelgrove
I'm so confused with the chapter releases 𤣠feels like I've read the same one 4 time
Dan
Iām going to go out on a limb here with a wild guest on who asked for the āupdateā. Valera Dent. In chapter 15 the brain and neuro scans were classified top secret with the contact person being Valera Dent. I could be totally wrong, but itās possible
Rick
And, that Kalus is not informed he is conversing with the MIND.
Rick
Might this maybe be the MIND?
Dee
Thank you - really needed š
Sam
Those are usually posted every 5 chapters so we should get one with the next new chapter.
Todd Smith
It makes more sense to me that it's Kalus' father -- who's acting as a conduit for General Abel. That's the only thing that works (to me) given Bryce's wording of the messages. Unless it's yet another player that we're unaware of.
Gwydion
What a wonderful conundrum. Iām assuming that the āwill they be ready in timeā comment refers either to the imminent end of civilization as they know it or inter systems which does not yet seem to have been announced more broadly. If it is the first that says that Kalus has been read in on something known only to a few people including his father. Given what his father discovered about Aria and Rei when he visited he might well have decided to keep an eye on them through Kalus and the informality of Kalusās remark about āalmost raising childrenā leads me to think it is him. But that is partly because I like the Kalus character and while I think even assisting his father is despicable assisting General Abel would be much worse. Another possibility is that the Mind has revealed itself to Kalus but that seems unlikely to me as it would not need cloak and dagger address strings for messages.
Maria Klein
Any chance of a story so far post? Iām trying to hold off for one but the struggle is real š If itās not coming soon then at least Iāll know itās safe to just dig in.
CipherFTW
I HAVE QUESTIONS! SO MANY QUESTIONS!
Tom
I still have not received my postcard. I keep trying to message various places with no reply.
Sherry
Me too I accidentally deleted the one before and let's say there was lots of ...lamenting, yeah let's go with lamenting. Because a little old lady shouldn't cuss like a 6 month out at sea pirate denied leave at the Port of Tortuga. āŗļø
Nathan Gallagher
Great chapter and flow on from the previous. Loving it.
Mike Gilbert
Thank you for this, it flows better and makes the addition of Dice to the training team work much smoother, with a demonstration on what was needed both emotionally as well as training wise for Viv to get back to full power.
Bill Hilliard
This chapter is excellent! Great early week surprise!!! Thank you!
Stephen
Ok that chapter was phenomenal, it felt well placed and added more depth to the other characters. love to see it šš
Devin Jaros
I think itās his Dad! Since he says something about āknowing how to raise childrenā.
Kirivina
Is he talking to the top commander lady (I can't think of her name, the one who showed up when Viv was in the icu) or it could be the mind but I don't think so on that.
Slim
I love to new content, but honestly, I don't think this needs to be a whole new chapter. I think that this could be included in the end of the current chapter regarding Dice's intro to the training group with a simple statement from either Viv or Dice saying something like "now that we've become friends, let's show this guy what we can do"
NerdGinger
Love the chapters!!! But....I'mma die if we go another chapter without his sister FINALLY showing up!
Gregory Van Gundy
I'm looking forward to getting ahold of the story so far. I kind of fell behind and got lost with all the rewrites
Szeth
Havenāt read your latest installment, but I want to thank you for your hard work and making the chapters available. Itās always a treat to get a surprise entry. You do you and Iāll keep enjoying. Cheers!
Travis
Are postcards done being sent out? I havenāt received mine yet but saw others have.
Westik
Thank you!!!!
Nathan Buckley
Awesome work. It great to see the small details getting worked in.
Jerhett Kellis
New to this patreon and love it here

Was thinking given Kallus disregard but the other side knowing everything if this is papa Laurent.
Iron Akela
Sweet!

Can see Dice yelling out ^%$@! the first time EndWalker goes off and that mummyHead appears right next to you. I wonder if Viv and Rei will keep their user uniques under wraps until they really need them in intersystems - though with the instructors ingraining them in - may be too tough to hold back.
Lyn Shirley
This is a very good addition. I am still not sure who Kalus is conversing with exactly. There are so many potential baddies in this book. it could be several people we have heard of and previously seen. The conversation increases the tension but makes Kalus a more beloved player. I like him more each time he appears. Ariaās siblings are good people, which is surprising with an uppity witch for a mother and an absent father.
Tyler Carley
Yassss we love a surprise chapter!!
