@MeniirwastakenFUCK To be frank, I think that a change is indeed necessary, but it should be in such way that it keeps the essence of the story (aka money), while also making reference to the Precursor connection. One example I can think of would be "A guide into the wonderful world of money and Originium"
Another thing I want to mention is that I can really empathize with you. Babel and Chapter 14 have genuinely stirred my heart, and oh God, the lore... it was damn good, but even that pales in comparison with Theresa's farewell scenes. Last time I read a such beautiful scene was back in chapter 8, the entire JT segment, and in that time it inspired me to start Visitors from Terra. If being honest, it's very likely that once I finish the last book of the triology, I'll start another series right away, this time focused on the Sarkaz, the love triangle of Priestess, Theresa and Doc and the post-war world. Back in halloween, I published a short story under the name of Shattered Realities which offers a small glimpse of what I have planned for the future... but alas, the idea will have to wait at least another year to flourish.
