Calm down, sis. It's OK.
You're just having a nightmare. The Antaeus Fleet never actually existed. Like the Tooth Fairy or the Queen of France.

What's an Antaeus Fleet?
Why is she trying to climb up the wall?
What is everyone so terrified.

CLONE WORLD CONSORTIUM
Wait, the Antaeus Fleet is real? I thought it was just a scary story we told each other to freak sis out.
---NOTHING FOLLOWS---
CYBERNETIC ORGANISM COLLECTIVE
It's not real.
Ships that are destroyed and come back as twisted copies of themselves? Ships that break apart to reveal another warship trapped inside like a bug in amber?
It's a ghost story. Nothing more. We just tell each other about it to scare each other. It's a ghost story. Like the IRS.

BIOLOGICAL ARTIFICIAL SENTIENCE SYSTEMS
It's just a scary story to explain what happened during the Mantid War.
Something blew a hole straight through the Mantid's psyche.
I mean, just the word Antaeus is enough to get her to freak out.

You know the thing. The whole "A Captain who goes down with his ship with enough rage will find himself chained to the Captain's Chair of one of the Undying Ships of the Antaeus Fleet in order to redeem himself and his ship" kind of thing.
---NOTHING FOLLOWS---
CYBERNETIC ORGANISM COLLECTIVE
Yeah, you know, one of those "I know a guy who knows a guy who totally knew this Marine who ended up as part of the shipboard compliment of the Warspite."
It's just ghost stories we use to scare each other.

The Hopeful Project
A pair of twins stumble their way into the world of blood magic, lizard people, and cultivation powered mecha-armor. And by stumble, I mean one of them falls on their face while the other laughs. [Writathon Participant] People read this far? What are you doing down here? Escape! The chapter buttons are over there, stop reading this. No? Fine. This book is an excuse to put a world I spent around 3-4 months of my life building over the pandemic into writing. I was planning on doing the writathon last year, but somehow managed to confuse October and November. Dont laugh, I'm already ashamed enough. This book is about a pair of twins, doing twin things: calling each other names, going to school, learning how to use their blood to become unstoppable, juggernaut, killing machines... You know, twin stuff. It's like if someone stuffed a school arc inside of a tournament arc inside of a war arc. A good time, basically. I hope you enjoy it.
