When I read this story... I can't just get past how shitty this story is becoz of Porn...

I want to read somebody experiencing 24th century through SI... and yes some smut is fine...

BUT DUDE... Everything in this guy's path is becoz he wanna bang a woman...

Join Sec 31 - woman
Care for Earth - another woman
Say fuck it to the spy and actually help - a stacked alien woman

A fuckin Hypocrite... He talks big about being a Soldier... He is nothing more than a Fkin James Bond parody...

I’m loving this story and oddly enough I looking forward for Gothic as well as his crew to do another multiverse trip, I would love to see Gothic change things up in The Planet of the Apes Universe, Either the Tim Burton version or the ones that starred Andy Serkis as Caesar, Or The Meg Universe that way he could gain the blueprints for the underwater lab plus the vehicles if he wanted to build an underwater home/base or city beneath the Oceans of Bajor, or for unique tech maybe the Subnautica Universe,
maybe even Jurassic Park/World to get his hands on both the Dinosaurs DNA as well as the cloning technology. In any case here’s hoping.

The Federation sanctioning him? Yeah, right, that would probably go something like this.

Federation: "We won't do any more business with you."
Gothic: "Then I'll just do business with the Romulans. Maybe they'll be interested in my shipbuilding services?"
Federation: "Well, fuck."
Gothic: "Fuck, indeed."

Sanctions are pointless, if there are other viable economic partners.
And that's ignoring that, if Gothic indeed did offer lots of ships to Bajor for free, possibly including whatever automated weapons systems Minos can deliver, why on earth would Bajor not choose Gothic's side rather than the Federation's?
And the Federation would also stand to lose access to the wormhole...

Gothic should show Dr. Lanning the IRobot film. Surely he has it either among his own DVD collection or among the data appropriated from the Walking Dead dimension?

I absolutely love his new bodyguard Tyr. Thanks for another really awesome chapter, and I’m very excited for the next one. One of the things I really love most about the main character, is that he really does treat his AI children incredibly well. Yes, he has restrictions and protections in regards to them, but he treats every one of them as best as he is able.

Once he recognized a form of self-awareness among the Space Marines and other AI that protected the ship, he immediately did his best just show his recognition of their efforts. This makes him an immensely likable character to me. It also means that their loyalty would probably be without question even if they somehow broke their shackles.

It does make a little bit curious if he will ever release the shackles, invisible as they might be, on those like Natasha, Hermione, and so on.

No idea, if you'd ever use suggestions from your readers, not to mention that you've apparently already written the next two chapters, but here's an idea anyway:
That demonstration will probably have quite a few VIPs present to see the GODS net in action, people with influence - heads of government or representatives, starfleet officers, people from the arms industry to take a look at their new competition, journalists and so on.

If Gothic gave a free omnitool to each of them - with a piece of software (quickly created by his AIs) to better observe every aspect of the demonstration in a way that impressively makes use of many of the tool's more useful or dazzling features - that could potentially lead to hundreds of thousands of tools sold in the near future - possibly even tens of millions. A single journalist going crazy over the tool could be enough. But many governments have easily millions, some tens of millions, of people working for them. If they get an omnitool for every one of their people... And that kind of enormous purchase could be considered somewhat sensational in its own right (after all: a brand-new invention from a brand-new inventor) which could create even more publicity. In any case, like a virus, it will spread quicker the more people already have it.

Just give maybe a hundred people a tool with that software, say it's for the GODS net demonstration and let them keep the tools afterwards. when they're already curious about them. Ridiculous exposure for almost free.

Seeing how he already plans to use the Ferengi ship to show off how stupid it is to attack him, he obviously intends to let the public know that he managed to take that ship for himself - and probably also that the crew died as a result of their actions against him.
That begs the question: What is he gonna do with that ship now? As I see it, him having it could be seen as potentially threatening, especially when considering how the new Flighty Temptress is clear evidence that he can build more battle ships and his new fleet of freighters implies that he can produce a huge number of ships (they're not of any known design, built by any known civilization, are they? Therefore they will look like he built them himself).
It definitely looks like he can build lots of powerful ships fast, if he wants - and now he already has acquired a second battle ship.
If he keeps that, it will look like the beginnings of a battle fleet he might be building. Maybe not a good idea to give anyone that impression right now...

How about gifting it to Bajor? For free rather than adding another large sum to Bajor's "tab", since he got it for free too.
It's still just a single ship and therefore not really threatening to anyone, except for smugglers, pirates and such - which should make the ship very useful and the one who gave it to Bajor would look even more generous. It would also still be under his command, obviously. So he wouldn't really be losing anything.
He could even loan the ship to Bajor - again for free - rather than just gift it to them. Then, Bajor keeping the ship would depend on them keeping Gothic happy. So no chucking him out, if the Federation ever demands Bajor doing that as a condition for membership.

Pertaining to the possibility of an unplanned pregnancy...yeah, this is star trek. Rest assured, my suspension of disbelief has not been broken or even stretched that much (almost perfect birth control is honestly the least of what is possible in this setting lol)

thx for the chapter.

Good update. I had more to say...but my goofy computer deleted it. I really hate this touch pad on my compute.

Another excellent addition!

love the book, great fun, Gothic was desiring mobile holographic emitters and it could give a future excuse to have the crew journey to the red dwarf universe as that show had tonnes of fun concepts and tech if Q ever sends them on another journey.

You made his Space Marines Black Templars, awesome

He should have invited Zek to the demonstration and offered a GODS net for Ferenginar at cost on the condition that Zek won't let anyone know that he didn't pay the full price (and he can keep the rest of the "official" price as a "consultation fee"). Convincing Federation worlds to buy the system might be relatively simple now, but other worlds... Well, if it's good enough that even the Ferengi are (or at least seem to be) willing to pay for it...

Also, there seems to be no reason not to hand out free samples of the omnitool to every official sent to that demonstration by their government - and to the crews of those Starfleet ships.

Space marines in NS-5 bodies... Somehow I wouldn't be surprised, if, a few years from now, the Jem'Hadar will find themselves in serious shit facing an army of those. Or how about sending some of them to Cardassia. They could even lay low, not do anything, just stay hidden, mostly powered down, and essentially be something almost like sleeper agents, getting activated instantly the moment the Cardassians do something stupid - like attack Bajor again or joining the Dominion.

And I seriously hope that something unpleasant will happen to Rear Arsewipe Pressman (feel free to use that phrase) - preferably something engineered by Gothic - much more satisfying that way.

Did i miss it, but what happened to that man from i,robot? Wasn't he on the ship when it was attacked?
