Three Square Meals Ch. 131

“Jehanna gave him a soft kiss. "So you will talk to me about it? You promise?" “ Who does Jehanna thinks she is? Why would John talk to her? The world revolves around Jehanna and the other girls are just stars far far away… ?

Saving the world is so important…………but we dismiss John and organize a wedding, like they have all the time in the world. Please give John his balls back and let the girls grow into women. Some maturity is welkom.

John may be the worst son of all time to his mother. He has spent the past 6 months lamenting the plight of thralls and how they have no choices and are mind controlled, he is explicitly aware that his mother is in this exact situation, and he has not once had any desire to rescue her or make her situation better in any way.

I kind of thought the same thing about how Dana talks about her parents. They found out that her mother was basically kidnapped, impregnated, and murdered in a secret research lab, and that was somehow completely glossed over and her “parents” are selfish assholes.

I'm pleased to see Tefler's first accurate description of a red dwarf, but why would the planet be gloomy?

The habitable zone of red dwarfs is really close to the star - often, a year would be shorter than an Earth day, and it's thought most such planets, at least by the time they've cooled down after formation, would be tidally locked - always presenting the same hemisphere to the star.

So no-one would willingly build a house on the night side, but in the twilight or day side, unless the radiation was too high, though this would likely strip the atmosphere in this case. The daylight would be distinctly orange or red, as the star isn't hot enough to emit light in the blue and perhaps green wavelengths. The Sun is ~5400 Kelvin, a red dwarf would be around 2-3000 Kelvin, a scale also used for camera white balance and lighting.

This was recently depicted in Dune 2 on the Harkonnen homeworld, filming the whole thing in infrared. It appeared in monochrome, as there wouldn't be much of a colour palette if this were authentic.

yay, they got Abigil married and rescued Ailita, a pretty good chapter, ... ;-) ttfn

It's disappointing that Alyssa isn't telling John about the change in his mother. Also, he should recognize that Jessica is reaching out to him and just listen.

its wild how tefler positioned johnnette's morals, as a load stone, that holds him back. the source of denial, that make him take the view of how things should be, while ignoring things as they are.. he is making terrible mistakes, ignoring the needs and desires of the girls, while making fear based decisions.. smh, and now he is messing with sakura with out her input or consent.. in secret too! because he knows the girls would oppose his choice. he doesnt trust them, he doesnt trust himself.. he still reacting like a wounded scared little boy.. not a grown ass man. his powers just amplify his weakness that he uses to define himself.

Hey there Anonymous, regards Terra and slingshot maneuver: I was just bothered by Tef, once again, not really understanding space, and also in this case his writings were not consistent with his own story's continuity, ... I know that the relatively smaller worlds of Earth and Venus have been often used for sling-shoting our primitive 20th and 21st century space probes, but I am assuming that Alyssa was referring to her own, sling-shoting close around a Star / Sun to boost their speed maneuver, ... a big difference in scale, .... ;-) ttfn
