Loving it, there's some extra material added to the previous chapters which is very nice.

Keep up the good work!

Same sort of weirdo who buys a holster from Evyl Robot, perhaps.

I decided to make a cover. I don't think it turned out half bad.

I know I said Alone: Psi-Mage was a tentative title. But it's growing on me.

I think the focal point of the "laser beams" should have just the tip of what has to be a GIANT ship going off the page. Otherwise, I think it is quite good. Shows the fragility of man. The space ship in the void. Much like humanity with only one world with damn little to protect / defend it and no fall back position.

Well not so sure about the laser beams either.

Perhaps just the tip of an Obviously Not man made ship nudging into the frame?

That would require art skills.

Because I envy Larry Corriea and his awesome patches I decided to make my own for Alone: Psi-Mage.

I'm not 100% sure how they are going to fit in the story, but I think the Furballs and their Handlers will wear them on their vac suits and uniforms.

What do you think?

My apologies to Larry, I stole your background, hope it's okay.

I think it looks good but I wonder how that will evolve into the story. The living people are not an organized group -- unless the internet stays up and they network that way. But where does the electricity come from and the server farm maintenance?

The internet plus the electrical grid are going to be gone permanently in just a bit.

Chapter 7 has been sent out.
