System ZZ831, Planet B847.
Today, a new planet-ship was about to reach maturity. It was the fifth planet-ship produced since the completion of B842 just a year and some months ago, and that alone should raise alarm bells about the unprecedented threat the Mirror Universe was facing.
To put it in perspective, B841 had been completed 4 years before B842, while B840 and B839 had reached their final form almost at the same time, 5 and 5.5 years ago. The final form of a planet-ship was the moment when all assimilated worlds were completely integrated, forming a completely stable mega-planet.
And here we go for a new volume full of twists and turns.
The previous volumes and Ordeals were really just a foretaste of what the Mirror Universe and the Digestors have in store for Jake and now the story is going to move to the next phase.
Until now, even though many people died in the Ordeals, it was almost always without consequence. From now on, whether in the Ordeals or outside, death will become much more present and "permanent".
