I haven't finished it yet but I really liked this paragraph.

A gently buzzing wrist snapped her back to the problems of the present, notifying her of the time. Her mind had been sent off course while wading through a two-hour session with a budget director from a floundering streaming firm, still hung up over a major advertiser who’d abandoned ship two quarters ago. An upstart rival had stolen the account, sending Alain and his employer into a spiral. This defection had nearly put them underwater, sparking layoffs for hundreds of full-time crew. Countless cycles were now being spent creating new forecasts. Her patient was drowning in grief; it was her job to pull him from the depths of his despair before he dragged the whole business down. Time to wrap up, to wash her hands of the day’s work

the constant stream of nautical puns will make much more sense the further deeper you go.

it's true, it all fit together!

I really like nora, machine psychologist is a cool job. The scenes in storms of steel were great... actually all seven chapters were pretty mesmerizing, I only stopped at one point cuz my timer for the stove went off lol

also I found the actual text itself to be well written, in a way that's unusual in amateur writers.and in top of that it's obviously an interesting setting and characters... idk, I love it, I'd read more, I want to know what happens next!

Going to try to publish more chapters soon, converting from Word formatting is slightly cumbersome.

Trying to figure out how to link the next set of chapters to this post in a sequence.

EDIT: Think I figured it out!

Gonna try to break this up into 0-4 and 5-8 without breaking the Sequence, while also inserting the edits.

Edits for readability and to crank Jack's jerk level from 11 to 13.
