Tirin and Trina have reached their destination, the fix-it-shop that Trina's detective, Hemrock Hames, traced Genesis to. Detective Hames explained what happened to Genesis and how she was hired to help protect Wendy from a gang of malcontents who were disappointed that Wendy hadn't yet fixed a certain broken Imperial Droid. Tirin sees the bike that Reny had used to find Wendy, now stripped of all it's valuable parts. Detective Hames informs Tirin and Trina that a certain member of the Emperor's staff, named Ephraim, had commissioned this group of malcontents to fix the broken Imperial droid, for reasons unknown. Ephraim, fearful that his suspicious activities would be found out, had all parties involved arrested by the Emperor (all of this happened in Chapter 24). As Tirin is trying to figure out what to do next, she gets a call via neuralink from Reny who is not too far away at the Emperor's stronghold. Reny has had her hair redone by the Emperor's stylist. Reny believes that the Emperor's memories about what happened on Riutho (Chapters 20 and 21 may be coming back. Memories that include how he first met Reny, how he became infatuated with her, and how he realized that she and her buddies were time travelers. As you may recall, he had his memory being erased here. It would be bad for him to regain his memories because as the most powerful person in the universe, he would LOVE to be able to time travel.

See me, feel me
Touch me, heal me
…Oh, wait, that’s not quite it.
Hold me close, hold me tight
Make me thrill with delight
Let me know where I stand from the start
I want you, I need you
No, that’s not quite it, either….

You got it! I Want You, I Need You, I Love You (from Elvis), right?
E Hines
Yup, except for the Loser’s modification of that line: I Want You, I Need You, I Lust You.
And the first one from The Who.
Interesting role for Siresha. Also interesting would be if she were to move against His Idiocy and take over, if only from behind the throne.

Wouldn’t be surprised if she wasn’t planning something like that, she has been around for awhile, just like Ephie who started this whole shit-creep with his attempted illegal modificationing of that droid

Wow! It’s just Numpy who is a degenerate arsehole: the entire royal court need a good bleach-bath, starting with an enema

Damn! Meant “It’s not just Numpy…”

I think you should conduct a poll to find out how many readers looked up the definition of “fasciculations” (and also noticed the spelling).
Thank you for creating and sharing.
