Within the easy give-and-take of the lux rebellion at large, it took a while for Rosie to realize that she’d become important. “We still have problems here, but we share them,” the founder had explained at their first introduction. “My door is always open, because Tuft accidentally ripped it off its hinges early in our professional relationship.”

But when the units around her now react to the message, it’s clear that it’s different. Dialtone wants to see her–alone, immediately.

Part 2 (of 3) of Rosie’s backstory, “The Looking Glass”, is up on the patreon! Click through the image or here to read. If you’re not a patron yet and you need something new to read please consider signing up, $3 a month gets you this story, part 1 of this arc, future stories, and at this point like a whole book’s worth of past stories.

This one’s a very quick read, again around 2k words (the finale next month will be a bit longer, but we’re still laying the foundation!) A summary type thing I guess would be, Rosie remembers her first days in Bell Town as the rebel infiltration of Nexa Noxtaiae orbiter takes a turn for the desperate.
