well, you must understand. him letting her die was *his* decision, thus ok her getting medical help was someone's else's decision, thus a sacrilege of the highest order because he wasn't asked.
“First you took my father, and I could do nothing. I was powerless to stop you! But now you impy dogs stole my mother without my permission!?” he growled, his bloodshot eyes beginning to faintly glow red. His hair also began turning bright red, like the heart of a fire. “This place will BURN!”

any relation to this Khan?
With trembling hands, the phone to his ear and took a deep breath. “My name is Sunday Khan, and I officially request imperial citizenship for me and my family.”

still faster than the loading times of GTA:O
The limited storage space of runic computers wasn’t an issue with biological computers. Take the human genome, for example; when stretched end to end, a strand of human DNA would measure a little over a meter in length. It contains about three billion base pairs, and when acting as binary bits, would allow for around 750 megabytes of storage. When wrapped around a spindle, however, it only took up about ten nanometers of space. But what it gained in compressed storage space, it lost in flexibility and definitely lost in speed. Information transmission via messenger RNA took, at a minimum, seven minutes.

screw monsters from mythology. way more importantly, finally the dream of all weebs, neets, otakus and hikikomoris will finally be reality. CATGIRLS
That was just the start of what Aron had been cooking up in his mind. He was thinking of all the “monsters” from humanity’s history and collective mythology, like dragons, phoenixes, Japanese youkai, and so on. It could even be scaled up to creating enormous astral beasts that were capable of not only surviving, but thriving in the harsh conditions of deep space.

sharks with lasers you say?
“With biological computing alone, we can create biological robots, or so-called ‘monsters’. Think about it for a minute.... ARES soldiers riding dragons into battle alongside Jormungandr wyrms carrying legions right into the heart of the enemy. Or we can tailor them to be mission specific, like enormous whales that act as underwater resupply stations for people riding sharks with lasers....” Aron cleared his throat, realizing he was getting further and further off topic. “But the best thing of all is that they’ll all be disposable and we can print them in job lots....”

naughty naughty Nyx somebody is due for a:
{Let’s end it here for today, ladies and gentlemen. I’ll deliver all of your points to the emperor when he’s available, and let you know what his decision is once he comes up with one.} Though her tone was diplomatic, she still shot Nyx a loaded look; the feisty mistress of intelligence had let classified information slip, purposefully or not.

henpecked...
“I must be the most henpecked emperor in history,” Aron laughed as he performed a feat of strength and flexibility that practically violated the laws of physics, ending up atop her on the couch.

and to increase your survival chances, there are no red shirts on your ships
“During your voyage, some of you will face danger. Some of you may even lose your lives much like more terrestrial adventurers, explorers, and pioneers from the Age of Sail. You, the brave men and women of the exploration fleet, face the unpredictability of the unknown, much like the great explorers of the past.” The expression on Aron’s face went from solemn and grave to grim and imposing.

oh boy. if she's really from Poland her surname wouldn't end in -ski but in -ska (feminine form of -ski | see wiki article about Polish names) and it *could* even hint that shes's a descendant of polish nobility and I hope her name ends in "a" or you would go against polish law there. no joke. by polish law names must indicate the gender of the person, so almost all polish female names end in a
“Minister, please just call me ‘Ski’. I’m Polish, we’re all used to it and have been ever since our ancestors decided to use every letter of the alphabet in our family names,” Commander Ryfczinski chuckled.

this picture is such an error. it looks like our solar system would travel sideways, and one would only need to travel beyond Pluto's orbit to reach the bow shock. while in reality one would need to travel upwards, because our solar system travels like my gif through the galaxy
(Ed note: The “heliopause” is comprised of two or three layers. Two of them are known: termination shock, where the solar wind emanating from the sun slows down and ejects all of the compressed particulates it picks up on its journey, and the heliopause, where the solar wind meets and is neutralized by the interstellar medium. Some scientists think there has to be a third layer, the bow shock, where the heliopause picks up interstellar particles and shoves them out of the way.)

nope, "to put paid" is ok in this context
Cut corners lead to bad outcomes, after all. These pods were meant to cure the unwilling victims of the unmourned megalomaniac behind so much death and destruction, and it was also the very last thing that would finally put paid to the cult of the progenitors’ legacy. The healing represented something far bigger than the act itself; it would be the end of a turbulent chapter in the empire’s existence and the beginning of another. Thus, he was determined to do it right.

step one: install all disks step two: die of old age
Aron stood in a cavernous room in the Cube on Avalon Island, looking at the newly printed medical pods laying before him in precise columns and rows. As it turned out, actually using the first-generation atomic printers to print runic engravings into things was a much slower process than printing things without them. The process could be compared to trying to play a modern AAA video game on an old desktop computer from the 1980s.

the better your connection to the biggest power in the universe*, the bigger your chances of awakening *namely the Author
“That is a distinct possibility, sir. But I don’t believe that everyone will awaken, even under the same condition as Rina underwent her awakening. The researchers in Lab City believe there’s some aspect of luck to awakening, or perhaps something they simply haven’t discovered yet is interfering with the process.

told ya Rick "staircase" Whatever will be only remembered as a footnote in the chronicles of the Empire of Mankind
The news of space opening to everyone had even diverted peoples’ attention from the disintegration of the cultists that had taken place mere days before. It was a happy unintentional consequence of the timing of the press release and information dump into the public sector, and had put a rather anticlimactic end to the issues with the cult of the progenitors.

totally unfair, right? you get riled up, you get your slogans, gather your compatriots and you are read to show "them" that you are not their pawn and the galaxy isn't theirs only. you are full of adrenaline looking for an outlet and then... nothing? not even blueballing feels like this
Thus, people had been busily producing their signs and coming up with their slogans to protest against a monopoly that... simply never appeared.

not ambitious at all, nooo~ mapping out the entire galaxy with only 100-400 billion stars. considering that the diameter of our galaxy is about 100k light-years, this could take a while. on a side note. the galaxy has two spiral arms, but several crescents called solar neighborhood. so getting to point five after mapping "only" our arm doesn't sound right IMHO.
It was version 0.1 not because it was incomplete, but because version 1.0 would only be released after the entire galaxy was mapped. 0.5 would be the version that included the spiral arm that Earth was a part of: the Orion Spiral Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy.
