Hirley0 is the last survivor of Dimension IX.  He's trying to tell us how to avoid that fate, but there are language difficulties as a result of him having 5 more dimensions than us.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

He keeps slipping in and out of this permeable reality, so it's up to us to figure it out. But don't try, unless you're ready for T Truth. But you can never go back. So, be careful.

This English production, Vendetta, is pretty good entertainment, thus far.

No offense, but am i correct in assuming i'm not the only one who has trouble reading that?

Surprisingly, you may eventually get used to it. Sort of.

Yea, me too at the moment.  Not to mention the second wave had me up all last night and now the dog's got it as well.  That, and all light props are currently spent, without prospect for renewal.  No chance clearing inspection for customs anytime soon.  Inertial drives are no longer on reserve, still, running just on the extra amplitude syphoned from induced gravity results in poor alignment, and, eventually, degenerate orbits preclude any possibility of reel travel.  The cyclotron has already been repurposed as a fan, for ventilation, and, I gather, to humor the otherwise grim considerations of our progressively more severe temporal narwkosis.  Over/out

Yeah. Don't write any sexual interest for that character.

Unless you want to make them a giant attention-whore, in which case you can make them talk about their lack of sexuality all the time, whether it's relevant and appropriate or not.

nah, we wouldn't know shes asexual from the get go; in fact neither would she. Her discovering that about herself would be part of her arc. No need to bludgeon the reader with that right from the get go
