Ya, I know the aluminum sulfate ore was a stretch. I was thinking something like "maybe it's expensive in this part of space?" but basically I just chose it because we had been talking about it in Chemistry and I was feeling lazy.Apparently, you can make anyone look good in your drawings.
Technical stuff.
I really enjoy the technical side in this fanfic. It was done with thinking and knowledge and it makes the story more reach. It's not some cheap unrealistic stuff like Star Wars with their whizzing flashy laser beams. Even when you Mara are not a specialist on space warfare, you don't put in crud, I appreciate it too. It's grreat to find details like teleporting bombs, or Aurora's suit manipulating energy, or black holes in mines, I'll discuss it with pleasure. May be I will even be able to add something to TOSOT. :P Where did you get this stuff, btw?
Now, some my remarks.
Aurora mentions aluminum sulfate ore which costs a lot, but actually this mineral is very common and cheap (it consists of common aluminum and sulfur) and has rather not medical applications. I'd suggest you to use something like sodium rhodanate instead.
Three suns made me think a little about it. Usually, star systems have two stars, or sometimes one, like ours. A system with three stars must be more rare, but it's quite possible that such systems exist too. But is the sunrise eternal? Usually stars are near each other, so even if in a system are two or three stars it just makes a day a bit longer. To get an eternal sunrise we must have a planet surrounded by three stars, what is hardly possible, because orbits would be too unstable to exist for a long time. But, after some thinking, I came to an idea that in such system could be one big star, like ours, or even many times bigger, and several small stars, just a several dozens of times bigger than our Jupiter, orbiting around the big star like planets. It must be rare, but it's possible. Then a planet orbiting among those stars must have only day at least most time of a year.
The "Land of Eternal Sunrise" is definitely meant to be an literary/artistic convention. I didn't mean to imply that it was ALWAYS daytime on the planet, merely that all those suns made the kids FEEL like daylight was eternal. Also, that desert planet really isn't going to last long. It'll probably be cooked in a couple more centuries.

Well, actually, that's quite possible. Dictator Jimmy probably doesn't feed him much, so he might have thinned out a bit...

Future Carl, however, is probably Jimmy's minion or henchmen or something by now, and since he's probably the only human DJ can talk to, DJ'd keep him alive.
And because DJ probably only feeds him ultra-healthy super food, there's a good chance Carl COULD be hot!! :kawaii:

I can safely say that the story will end with (at least the suggestion of, if not more) one pairing that NONE OF YOU WOULD EVER EXPECT. I'm sure of it. Mu hu hahahaha!

Mara, if you are writing about the final battle, I can talk a bit about warfare and such military stuff, if you want to. It may help you to write things and avoid mistakes.

Future Carl and Future Libby? ;) *slapped*I have super exciting TOSOT related news. I had a brilliant idea last night at 3 am (that's when all my brilliant ideas occur).

Elke pops out of nowhere somehow, and there's Carl/Elke?
or, Aurora and a security droid that has feelings?
or, little Libby and Future Sheen?
or, April and Future Carl?
or, Aurora and another live experiment guy like Future Sheen?
PS: I LOVE the pic, loopin! So cute! *huggles computer*
