Looks like Devin's lessons have paid off handsomely, as the process/training is moving along quicker!!!

And the two basturds live to see the insides of another prison, lets hope for a decades long incarceration... Now...how is it they have been able to track Struan so easily...I suspect, and am most likely wrong, a certain former superior office who recently got his ass reamed...big time..

This just came to me....Sherriff Reid and Deputy Billy????? “With your fellas’ help, happens I solved my first murder as the sheriff of Bearpaw Lake, and two of the killers are deceased, which should impress the town council. You’ll get their bounty, and I’ll take the credit,” he said with a huge grin. He followed up with a laugh as he winked at the young man in the corner. “Bounty?” Jubal asked after seeing Billy smile wide at the sheriff, showing good teeth.

Let's hope we ain't talking minnows hereabouts...

All I got is...

The last mystery package I thawed out remained a mystery...I swear it growled at me....😉

Well now, as noted before in a previous comment, those of the old guard surrounding the regency, are loth to give up their power to a young as they see him...an usurper with a fairly large broom...the young King...Will he be smart enough to see the plots within plots?

Speaking of shameless plugs, including you @weinerdog, I'm first on page 4!!!!!!!

Oh dear...what could possibly go right/wrong???

Oh my...see what doing long neglected housework will do to one's reading habits when faced with an upcoming move will do...Landed on Pg 3 because the freaking sticky gunk that had been collecting on the refrigerator from years of serving as the house message board !!! I'm hating scotch tape and other adhesive applications at the moment...But I digress...I did find a 40 year old can of unopened Hungarian Hot Paprika in the back of the spice cabinet...now I need a recipe...spicy goulash anybody??? The following bit along with bits posted by others really brought this chapter to life for me...let us not forget, Kyan has a job, one that he excels at, but again I digress... What is needed her is for the adults in this story to stop dancing around the elephant in the room and who knows what and when they knew it, that Jed and Trudy, Jessica and Perry for that matter need to have an honest, non-confrontational conversation with Kyan about how family is there for family...no strings attached!!! The word of the day folks is communication!!!!! Build bridges...not walls!!! Now...back to cleaning the fridge...just what do I do with the oddly wrapped bundle in the in the back of the freezer???

And so...another adventure begins, together will they be able to stop the white wolf and his mistress...and what are they up to and why? Is the white wolf a pawn of someone else??

While the first Ark may have had the best and brightest aboard, the subsequent Arks, particularly the 2nd and the 3rd will have, more than likely, minds nearly as bright as those on the first Ark. Given time and human ingenuity, I fear an inevitable confrontation. We know from previous chapters that some of the other Ark's were not as democratic as the citizens of Ark 1. I love the idea of the androids appearing more human and creating a security contingent. Let's hope that Athena has plenty of time to ascertain any threats from others...one hopes that with any contact with others, there are no ill intentions... Thanks R-eric for this chapter!!

This truly was a bittersweet chapter, lovely with the children waiting for breakfast, foreboding with the unsettled feelings, Chef Boy, aka Charles soon to be adopted and then the expected passing of Arnaud. One hopes things may settle for a bit upon the return from the funeral...

Glad to see the families have worked out their issues, school however is a mixed bag, thank goodness for Drew, Marty needs to learn the better issue of discretion...what goes around...

Could not have said it any better...The Colonel needs a large portion of humble pie served ASAP!!!

At my age I hope I can follow all the disparate threads....😉

Jeeze...what are the parental units gonna do when Travis succumbs to his terminal illness in 6 months to a year??? Park the twins on his grave???

AND...Thar be wolves Connor, perhaps now you might get some answers to your many questions...

While I shudder to think I'm old enough to remember this song, I just had to say if the korners are occupied there's always..

And the crowd goes... Or was it...

I'm calling bull...

Mine...

Bingo, could not have said it any better...Lest we forget, there will be some bumps ahead....

I suspect Struan's CO is a jackass, with an unmatched ability to snatch Defeat from the Jaws of Victory...Is it possible he could make his resignation immediate??? One has to wonder...with weeks left in his 10 year term of service, what is the most remote Army outpost they could send him to??? I suspect his soon to be former CO wants his own vacation retreat...

One has to hope that those children see past the bigotry of their fathers...another heartwarming chapter despite the rough patch...So sad some folks never learn that life is too short for that type of BS...
