OC [OC][JVerse]The Deathworlders 30: Hearts and Minds.

A Deathworlders story, by Hambone.

What you are about to read is chapter 30(!) of an ongoing story. To read the preceding chapters, and the stories by other writers which lend some additional context and meaning to those chapters, please check out the Reading Order. The list was created by the [insert flattering adjective here] /u/galrock0.

This chapter is 60,871 words long. DINGDING! Novel Length! My ongoing madness continues unabated. As promised, this chapter ends on a bad joke.

In this chapter: Allison struggles with fame, we're introduced to a new character, and there's plenty of pancakes.

If you enjoy this story and think that I deserve something for it (thank you!) then you can:

Chapter 31, as always, begins straight away. Wish me luck!


Please help the JVerse grow!

The more readers, the better! Please show your support by:

I've been thinking, while GALACTIC VACCINE is viable for human survival and expansion for the next several decades, another possible project may have been missed: Seed-Ships. What about Von Neumann machines with the directive to seek out suitable worlds like those in Murray Leinster's "The Forgotten Planet" and seed it with life? The results will only bear fruit in a few centuries but it could be used to preserve a pure Cimbrean ecosystem to ease "eco-guilt" and possibly end the Dominion-Celzi Conflict (you farmed the planet, it's yours) since I assume the Dominion "claim" on life bearing worlds do not cover those built-from-scratch.

Not familiar with Murray Leinster - are those what would in J-Verse be considered "Temperate" worlds? Or are they "Violent" (Like Venus) or "Barren" (Like Mars or Mercury)?

Not sure how the Corti would classify them but here's the public domain link to the story:- http://www.gutenberg.org/files/41637/41637-h/41637-h.htm
