Loved this. Great story, gave me many ideas for my own incensepunk stories.

This line in particular, so beautiful:

<i>Tears bloomed in Thea’s eyes, dimming those gentle stars, red-shifting them</i>

Just finished. Excellent story! Especially since I'd already read Orders of Magnitude, to which this story adds a nice later.

Thank you! I'm curious how it went in that order. Despite being a "sequel", they're very different tonally!

I like that it gave important context to the apparition of the Blessed Virgin which is so central to Orders of Magnitude. We get wonderful insight into Sister Thea's character, and we get to appreciate a wider perspective of colonial life on the moon. It makes the desolation of Orders that much worse.
