Oh, this is so good! You should definitely publish a book of your starshatter inspired poems. I know that people who like the universe will like to buy it :)
Another fantastic installment! This is building up to a great conclusion! This week, I think it has to be 'Option 3'. They need to go after the Jaern Priestess, and put an end to her reign of terror. And possibly feed her to the Kosmovoi! Haha! And then, they need to confront whatever power is in control of the derelict. That would be an epic final battle. And one he would probably need to add to the paintings on his suit, and the side of his ship... 😎👍
Definite preference for #1. Fulfilling obligations is the most ennobling thing a hero can do, and another gaze-into-wife-eyes opener feels fairly redundant.
Vote for 2, the psychic nullifier is most intriguing and I'd like to see what happens with it.
Thank you for voting :)
Once freed of chains, the children of the Nile
Trek through the ship—must have walked a mile.
With gentle care, Taia on his back,
Northstone and Niv led the captives' track
To safety's arms, their faith held fast,
While castaway soldiers, grim from the past,
Were watched by the one who walks the stars,
Guarded by Terrans with battle scars.
Then food for the kosmovoi they sought to find—
Spectral-thin, undead—better than rind
Of sweetest fruit, though foul to taste;
Still, none of the Terrans would let it waste.
No Terran stands alone in strife—
They build their homes, they share their life.
With open hearts, they friend the foe,
And through the dark, their kindness shows.
The lady priestess told her tale
Of slavers grim who did assail
Her loyal troops and laid them low,
Before the stars claimed friend and foe.
In iron chains they crossed the sky,
Put to sleep with no goodbye.
But now they wake from timeless keep—
The Nile’s own children, stirred from sleep.
With castaway kin and the Star-Walker bold,
The wily Terran, with spirit old,
They forged a plan to see Jaren fall,
And gathered, silent, one and all
In the belly of hope—a bird of flame—
Where Terran sought a rope to tame
The hunter’s mind in a cage of light,
To break her bones in just-born fight.
"Feed the Star-Walker. Gather the lost.
Count every soul, whatever the cost.
Then fly," he said, "with wings spread wide—
Toward the place where dreams abide."
(option two.)

Thank you for your vote! I hope more readers vote this time :)
3
Thank you! The more people vote, the better :D I am hoping that you are having fun reading and guiding this tale.
Also voting #2 - that nullifier can be a wild card in their next combat situation.
Thank you for voting! I sneakily hope more people to vote for 3 btw.
You are only worth as much as your word.
I vote Option #1
Thank you for the vote :)
AHHHHHH I DON'T KNOW which ones to choose!! #1 but then he just takes off with his future wife anyways
I think option 3 is the most swashbuckley to choose but that is just me :3
Those are hard choices but I think I prefer #1. Promises made should be promises kept.
Indeed! Basically, all three choices are about that, but some add more.
I have to go with #3! So exciting!
Thank you! I hope more people vote for it :)

Wife eyes are full of hopes and dreams :3
Definitely three.
Thank you for your vote! I do think three is the riskiest option but the most rewarding…
I'd take the risk :-D
Just awesome great episode. I vote for #1. It seems the most logical to me.
Thank you for your vote! Indeed, it does sound logical, but Spacers are Terrans, and Terrans are often quite illogical :D
I choose number 2 again this week.
Thank you for your vote!
