A daughter appears!

I like how you've assembled the cast in your second to last chapter (as of the most recent installment); one can now anticipate the clashing of personalities and/or personal objectives.

Mysteries, mysteries, all around! Mia and her box, Aurora's ring - though it seems particularly that every time Dex opens his mouth, there comes some new twist to his character and history. How will that revelation about his school affect him in his quest, I wonder?

I liked the detail about the name of his ship, and how it ties this alien world to earth.

And I must say, I like the dialogue. Though Reilly's use of the word "obliteration " seemed a touch out of place. Though I wouldn't be one to gripe over big words, xD
