    I do love how confused Wyatt is going on at the beginning on the chapter until Clara and Cynthia claired whats going on. I do like how both explain why they were cloak and dagger, that there's a tratior in the loyalist fleet using a quantum entanglement communication device.
    The person is probably on the flagship. I would not be surprised if one of the most vocal opponents of Wyatt on the flagship is the traitor. Why, because it would be in the traitor's interest to prevent the Prince from having such a great pilot.
    It's hilarious 😂 how Cynthia's inflexible with criminal this chapter. Consider space station they are going to is den of scum, villiany and people mostly don't give a damm about society norms. 🤣 So Cynthia has to be bitting her lip much in this chapter and next one.
    I do like how in this chapter both Wyatt and Clara get to see the true person behind each other's public masks and truely start to bond as true friends! I do love the cute scene where Wyatt discovered Clara has a hobby about piloting. I do like how well Wyatt is a good instructor for Clara on how to pilot the shuttle.

      i am inclined to agree, though possibly with a touch of proof reading before publishing. Although there a number of good scifi stories, this imho is well up near the top of the list of online ones I've read & listened to so far there's a decent plotline some intrigue, space battles Wyatt the plucky and clever underdog and we get a good dose of fantasy as well as science fiction with Princesses, nobles and knights thrown in. What's not to like

      To be fair he's not a knight yet... There was an interesting comment in a previous episode where Cynthia's older sister says she was thinking of offering Wyatt a position as one of her household knights, but it was delivered as if that wasn't going to happen and made me think that perhaps the prince or his sister had already decided to keep Wyatt on their own retinue effectively preventing Cynthia's sister offering that knighthood. I've mentioned before there is an old title of Knight Banneret, it can only be awarded by royalty and it effectively raises someone from a commoner to just above the rank of knight, traditionally a knight fights under the banner of their lord, but a Banneret knight is awarded their own banner and the title is hereditary, Only able to be awarded by royalty and only usually awarded when the insane act of bravery is witnessed by the royal person or their immediate advisor. If that were the royal plan it might explain why Cynthia has been trying to get Wyatt competent with dueling

      Yup all you say is true from a historical point, except instead of horses and swords they got starfighters and laser cannons or whatever they shoot, not exactly 100% anachronistic on this story.
      They just mentioned in this chapter that someone can even buy the rank of Knight, or be given one for acts of valor. Like saving the princess, which is a very common trope in stories. Just saying he is their knight, maybe not yet in any official capacity, but he has been behaving like one and I was being facetious about what they got in mind for him... Prince Consort Wyatt might be the way all this goes, and he will not have a say in any of it. LOL.

      @@stratometal I'm not sure about prince consort, if I remember correctly that only happens if maybe Clara ends up in charge of the principality, I suspect right now there's almost as much chance that he will end up with 'Cynthia. Traditionally younger princesses especially pretty ones get into the trap of marriages of allegiance to ensure stability, unless of course Wyatt gets awarded a significant title and territory perhaps taken from one of the traitorous lords, I love that there could be such possibilities in this storyline, it's one of those stories which could run on for a very long time, I mean we are only up to chapter 11 and something like less than a week has passed

      These are not your traditional Princesses and Ladies, but more like the Leia Organa type. So woe to whomever gets in her way if she decides Wyatt is hers. Yes possible he ends up with Cynthia, same deal. Eitherway its gonna be funny when whichever one decides to say "mine" and someone tries to stop em. All I am saying, Wyatt stands zero chance of getting away, he is a foal in the eyes of these pantheresess, LOL.

    Not sure how difficult it would be, but I have some recommendations:
    1.) Give the main characters and the narrator their own colors for the captions.
    2.) If possible, stop the AI from pitching up the voices for male characters or pitching down female voices. It does this intermittently and can cause brief confusion as to which character is speaking.
    3.) If you can get two AI's to cooperate, use a female voiced AI for female characters and a male voiced AI for male characters. Then pick a neutral authoritative voiced AI for the general narration.
