Just FYI, I will be taking an extra break day this week, so no chapter on Monday (3/20). I require a bit of time to determine how exactly the rest of this arc will play out, as well as the next.

Gasp. Planning? In my Icalos novel? It's never been done before!

Which...would probably explain a lot.

So, um, maybe I should take a step back to reflect on how this novel that I've improvised on a daily basis for the past...283,000 words is developing. Maybe. Possibly. Probably.Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

Or I could keep bombarding you with whatever I happen to squeeze out my brain on a given day. Decisions, decisions.

But regardless, I shall take my unthinkable five day work week next week and take TWO days off in a row! And there's nothing you can do to stop it, dear reader! Tremble and despair at my laziness! Muahahahaha!

Oh wait, that's the other novel.

Um.

Observation: Organic components acting at reduced efficiency. Recommendation: Replacement with cybernetic components of improved efficiency and endurance. Secondary Recommendation: If processing center unavailable, initiate organic maintenance cycles.

...I'm definitely not padding this to reach a minimum word count. Definitely not. If only there was an announcement feature or something...ah, there we go! K bye.
