Chapter lurks in Oort cloud wastes, floating free from comets in endless black, growing vast in hidden magnetosphere's embrace.

An epub version of the chapter is attached as well, as always!
And we are back, dear readers! Thank you very much indeed for waiting. Chapters are back to normal, the 3-1 publishing schedule resumes as usual! As for the chapter itself, ohohoho, things have gotten even more out of hand than I expected (in a good way), and I think arc 5 might end up a bit longer than originally planned, though I'm not yet sure by how much. We'll have to wait and see. Octavia really wishes this nightmare would end, but she's afraid the waking world might be even worse.
Also! This week, I have some fanart to share, from over on the discord server! Hearts Aflame (by Cera!) is a very fiery rendition of Scarlet Edge, with a very interesting variation on her magical girl outfit. I have also updated the memes page with a dozen or so new additions, some of which are ... well, you'll see, if you find that kind of thing amusing!
Lastly, thank you all once again for your patience on the extra unplanned break week. I hope you enjoy the chapter! Off we go, back to magical girls making terrible mistakes on the moon, and big messes down in England.P.S. I'm posting an addition to this, for unique reasons.
Patreon automatically filtered/blocked two comments on this post; I'm 99% certain I had the Comment Auto-Moderation setting turned off, so it must have been turned back on automatically sometime recently. I've turned it off again, but despite scouring patreon's support pages and even asking around among other creators, there doesn't appear to be any way to actually restore the blocked comments, which is very irritating. I can't even reply to them. Literally less functionality than wordpress.
In the interest of not letting readers' comments be lost to the void because of this, I've quoted the two comments below, and added what my responses would/should have been.

Octavia will get revenge for such wanton cruelty! The zoogs deserve it.

Damn right. I don't think anybody - least of all Octavia - is ever going to forgive her for that, even if she did protest that it wasn't her intention.
