Important Notice
So I felt that I owed this to all of you for sticking with me this long. For the past few weeks I've been stuck in a rut regarding this story. It wasn't just writer's block. It was as if something was missing. I think the problem is that at some point I lost touch with the story I wanted to write. There were plot points from Outlaw Star that I overlooked (the earlier disaster mentioned by Urt, the empty sarcophagus shaped space on the floor of the Grave of the Dragon) as well as ideas of my own that I feel as if I haven't fully fleshed out (the reason why Jericho was experimented on using Mel's biotech, the fate of the race that created the Leyline, how Raja's research ties into it all).
I want to be clear that I am NOT giving up on this story. I still want to write it, but I want it to be the kind of story that I feel is worthy of Outlaw Star. Long story short, I'm going to put this on the backburner for a bit until after I better sort out how I want it to play out. I might even have to rewrite a few things but I fully intend to get back to it. I just wanted to let you all know what is happening.
