Waiting for Borgs

My sister's computer finally died, and I lost another section of a chapter. At least we installed Word on there before it happened, otherwise I might have lost more. But in all I probably lost about 2,000 words this weekend. I mean, I wrote them all again, but I'm about a chapter behind where I could have been had I not had to spend time to go back to what I had already written.

But anyway, we made it to Randar 7 finally, met Zibray Zen-Zen, an android who solves probability equations to make accurate predictions, and while I had intended to introduce Alpha Two at this point, it turns out the space folk-rock troubadour was with our heroes the whole time! Who knew?

And Lothar Zogg, the fledgling cyborg overlord? His scheming has evolved into a more dastardly plot than I had realized. Watch out for the cyborgs! (the title of this entry is more than just a shout out to Jill's blog.)

Despite the technological problems, it's still been a productive weekend. I'm more than 60 percent of the way there.

Word count: 31,119
