Hey there, thanks for reading! This is my first article for the site, hopefully the first of many (or, like, at least five). I realised last month that it was almost a year since I joined, so I decided to get off my ass and put together my endless scribbled drafts and notes into one proper article.
If you've finished this and are confused about the ending (or any of the rest of it), that's ok. If people seem to want it, I'll put out an explanation in a few weeks, but if you enjoyed it that's all that counts. Of course, if you didn't enjoy it, let me know. There's a solid chance I'll build upon this some other day with a linked tale or skip, but obviously the article should stand on its own two feet.
My friend Omino made this excellent MTF seal for Upsilon-4, but over the course of changes and edits I couldn't figure out a place to stick it in the article itself. Ah well. It'll probably come in handy later.
