Chapter comments on the chapter Arrival and the House of Representatives of the book Age of Cosmic Exploration

I really hate it when an author suddenly says hundreds of years later x was found in these kinds of stories. It's based on if they survive what problems they face and so on then suddenly oh yeah humans fought a space war who knows how many years later. How dumb it makes me so mad.

"While all this was underway, on a screen in a diagnostics room somewhere, the line that kept track of the solar system’s new sun’s radioactive and magnetic fields fluctuated. The line twitched for only a second before it returned to normal, so none of the people in the room managed to notice it…" Predictions: Solar flare? Cosmic explosion? Probably something that will jam up all electronics

Why the fxck do stories do this? I'M READING A SURVIVAL STORY! Don't make me instantly stop caring by making it obvious. Nothing worse than reading a, "If only they knew then, what they knew eons in the future where they rule the universe, heaven and hell. If only they knew..." passage in a novel. Look, I get it's obvious that they're going to survive, but until it's been explicitly said by the author/narrator himself, up to that point, it's just an obvious assumption. Atleast I can hold some hope that the Hope may get destroyed, or that they're system gets EMP'd and lose all sacred information, or whatever. Giving us this information basically tells us, "Nah, except for some deaths and close calls, literally EVERYTHING stays okay haha." Man. Sucks the whole fxcking interest out of the story for me. What's the flipping point.

I think there is a Zero missing since it's only saying "120.000" citizens instead of the "12.000.000" that boarded the Hope at the start. or was the 12.000.000 a Typo in the early chapters? :D

Sorry for the mistakes

Predictions: Maybe a solar flare or a cosmic storm that jams electronics

Exp

NOOO. WHYY? NOT A DISASTER AGAIN. Thank you fort he chapter!
