Urbolg is disappointed in his lack of pants. (by ToonNik)

Welcome to 2026! The year’s already a garbage fire in the making, but let’s do what we can to make our corners of this vast universe as pleasant as possible, yah?

My resolution is to get my writing chops resharpened, and to that end I’ve written and implemented a small NPC pair to provide some necessary services on Phaedra: Gayll and Rummi. You’ll find Gayll at Shineglass Station, offering you a quick ride on her hoverbike to get back to the southern plains (and your own ship). As a bonus, once you’ve hired Gayll as fast transport, she’ll introduce you to her girlfriend, Rummi, who has been salvaging shipwrecks chock full of top-of-the-line ship equipment and mods.

I think this was my third attempt to deliver on this concept. There were several abortive starts and stops along the way, and I still have a slightly involved method in mind to unlock the sexual/romantic side of things, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. In accord with my New Year’s resolution, I’ll be cranking hard to deliver at least one smut scene a day on the upcoming Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

For now, enjoy the new goodies!
