"Keeping faith" is the sixth story arc in the "Gone with the Sun" series, posted today. This particular arc is not simply rational, it has a rationalist component in a character's problem-solving.
Earlier arcs were notified in prior threads; posted stories appear below. The first was "Eternity",
recapitulating the events of the Red Flash. The opening chapter of the story proper is: arc 2, "Queen's Gambit", followed in order by: arc 3 "Grave to cradle", arc 4 "Road to Nowhere", arc 5 "Somewhere over the Rainbow", and now arc 6 "Keeping faith". To recapitulate the earlier post's description: The next ME apparently involves an N7 operating in Andromeda. Mass Effect 3 came out some time back, following which I wrote a 'rationalist' novel exploring the aftermath -
posted for the canonical year and a day. It explored consequences of ME3's 'red flash' from the point of view
of certain characters. As it happens, the closing lines of the last arc had survivors heading for Andromeda. Imagine my shock when
the recent E3 2015 trailer, "Mass Effect: Andromeda" was issued, showing an N7 in Andromeda, obviously not
Shepard but still. Hence the excerpting of the final scene as a prologue. This latest post is Arc 5 of that story, dealing with exploration, restoring survivors, and coping with
trauma. Each arc ends with a pointer to the next
