Working update.

*cough*  I know I said I'd be doing these weekly, but honestly, there's not much  else to update on. Work is going smooth and making fast progress.

To  that end, Instead, I'll be updating you guys when there is some major  change or something that I think you guys need to / would like to know  about.

I'll also likely be deleting these "update" posts once the novel starts back up, to cut down on clutter.

Anyway, as for today's Update, I wanted to address an issue a few people have complained about before.

Standardizing the TAWP's size and description.

I'll  freely admit, I haven't been to consistent in this. Mostly because  sometimes I, myself end up forgetting, and partly because I realize  there WASN'T an actual full on description of the TAWP in the novel.  Some of the stats were mentioned here and there, but you have to kind of  piece it together.

To  that end, I went back to Lesson 3 and updated the description when it  was first show. This also means that any FUTURE depiction of the TAWP  will follow these standards too. Not ALL chapters have been updated yet,  however, so new readers might find some jankyness still, but I'm  working getting everything standardized as I work on the editing.

The text can be found below if you didn't want to go back and look.

Tell me what you think!

Unpacked,  the TAWP frame could stand almost 15 meters at its tallest, supported  on four heavily armored, beetle-like legs — though most of the time, the  TAWP’s primary chassis rested a comfortable five meters off the ground.  From the bottom to the top, the TAWP’s primary chassis was just over  five meters thick. 

From front to back, the chassis measured ten meters  and port to starboard it measured roughly seven meters.The  surface of the frame was a matte black-blue color in a scale-like  pattern that shifted and rippled as the various nanite nodes along its  surface adjusted, settling into their new configuration.

As  Alpha’s orb-like AI core nestled into the TAWP’s heart, the frame’s  systems coming fully online, several thick lines of teal light raced  across its surface, slowly pulsing with power. The lines converged at  the front of the frame, where the three bright red lights of its primary  optical sensors flared to life. The optical sensor’s plate spun as  adjustments were made, and Alpha ‘stretched’ the frame’s two chubby  manipulator arms out, as if he had awoken from a deep sleep.

At  its base form, the TAWP frame vaguely resembled a certain walking  beetle tank from one of Alpha’s favorite retro video games—totally not  the primary reason it was one of his favorites, nope.
