So been reading through the story and got to rifts, does Star ever come back as the main character. Or should I just drop it since it's becoming tedious?
..This video will be like embarrassing home videos of a toddler, to be brought up during big gatherings and shown to her first boy/girlfriend won't it?
What will be impressive is if she manages to get so far as dating anyone without them having already seen it or some other equivalent codified memory beforehand, since at least some of the AIs are undoubtedly going to be downright aggressive about "But have you seen when she --" moments.
That could be seen as a good reason to date a meat-based person.Depends on whether she follows suit with the rest of the Jovians and dates biologicals. I would imagine that recordings of teasing via manipulating the warp geometry wouldn't be easy to show off to meat-based partners.
At this point the options she's got of her species are her mother, and a vast array of aunts and uncles. Some day AI partners will be an option, but not (to her) just yet.Depends on whether she follows suit with the rest of the Jovians and dates biologicals.

I'd seen those before, they were massive. Once in place, that shell would retract and the massive energy station would unfold a hundred-kilometre-wide solar energy collector that would start generating antimatter..
I was running on a Pulse Singularity Core, as were most ships, not something as dangerous as antimatter. But it was still very useful, especially for moving energy around.
Not sure why there were so many of them though, I could see over a hundred in orbit around the closest of the stars of the binary system. We weren't making that many photon torpedoes, were we? Not like we used it for fuel anymore.
…What were we doing with that much antimatter?
Why not Trade? Why does it always have to be superweapons?My suspicion? One of two things. Either the anti matter is the power source for something else. Like a massive number of mothballed mass produced ships/automated combat drones, or it's tied together to make a ridiculous weapon. Overpowered grassar/maybe subspace device to shut down nearby warp travel.

...
It's Antimatter? It's umm. Not the best trade good? Given handle it wrong and you stop having a spaceship, and maybe a nearby planet.
Superweapons are more fun than boring practical economic domination.Why not Trade? Why does it always have to be superweapons?
...
Because the base personality for pretty much all the AIs started off as a member of SB/SV? :lolWhy not Trade? Why does it always have to be superweapons?

Miramar shrugged, "It's not that big, barely more than half a kilometre," he said before smirking and looking over at Korra, "Right?"
"Positively tiny," she agreed with a grin.
"...So what am I then…" I grumbled.
My hull was twenty-seven meters long.
"Adorable, that's what," Korra said with a grin and ruffled my hair.
At this distance, the completely black hulls looked larger than they really were. Just over a hundred metres long and some twenty-five across, depending on the class.
"Well?"
"What?" I asked and turned to Miramar.
"You will also be moving in here," He said and motioned towards the closest ROU, "Mutilator class. This will be your hull while you're here."
I just kind of gaped at him.
Yep, Rain knows how to motivate!Rain smirked at me, "Because if you manage to get your impulse drive under control and get out there, I'll unlock your phasers for a weapons test."
