Relevant Story: The Delphi
Sorry this took so long to get out. Life got in the way. And work. And laziness. And the fact that this is really hard to write a follow up for.
This is because Quinn Lazerus is in ALL of my stories. And I don't mean in a "well this is kind of him" way, I mean he's there, somewhere. He may not even be mentioned, by name or other wise, but somewhere in each universe he's there. He's also in all of your stories too. I made Quinn a kind of ultimate meta character, his story is that he lives through every possible incarnation of reality (within a set of rules, which I won't get into). So he's in every original piece of fiction, fan fiction, childhood dream and everything in between.
Which makes him both very easy and insanely hard to write for. On one hand, I can just stick him anywhere (he has no locked personality, he lives too long for that) and let him do whatever. On the other hand, I could do just as well creating a new character, and then have actual backgrounds and such that work. And the same problems with Deborah come up with Quinn as well, only worse at certain points. His story is basically too big to write.
The Delphi was kind of an attempt to try some bits of it, and I stopped because, well, lazy. Still, I had fun because it let me do something about Delphi, who gets less time than Quinn story wise, but is in just as many. As a character, Delphi is a ship that basically watches EVERYTHING, and it watches more and more as time goes on, until it knows everything all the time, thus why it is the ultimate database, recording and storing it all.
Which makes both Delphi and Quinn boring for writing stories about. Quinn has done it all and more, and Delphi has seen it all and more. So even in this story, I had to think of different angle, which is why I did it from the perspective of the cleaning drone 5280. Persephone is a bit easier to understand compared to the other two, and it was just kind of fun. The fact that the drone shows up just as much as Quinn and Delphi isn't an issue because, well, we know what she's been doing this whole time: cleaning, always cleaning.
All in all, there isn't much to stay about the story other than it's not finished, like most of pieces. Quinn's overarching story plays only a major role in a few of the stories you'll see from now on, his greatest impact is on the Order stuff since, well, he founded it. Beyond that he's only a major character in his own stories, and I don't write many of those, at all. There is one other place he shows up that you'll see, but I'll mention that when the time comes.
Next time, I should have the last completed Order story up, then I'll have to think on where to go next. Until then kiddies.
