Another fine chapter, Sandra. The story is unfolding well and with enough tension between characters to hold the interest.
Have you thought of uploading the free version of Grammarly? Some of its suggestions are nonsense, (I'm sure Gismo and Herbie could do better! LOL) but I have found it useful to alert me to minor problems like extra spaces between words (there are several in this chapter), comma use and hyphenation (eg the space(-)time warp / What's happening to me(,) Drozig) and typos (A(l)tlantis).
Looking forward to reading the next chapter.

I went right through this chapter twice, before I realised it wasn't this part but part 8! LOL. Thank you so much for reading that even though the promotion had ended. I've copied your review and used it to edit the main copy. I'm so pleased you did read it! I've been through each chapter several times and I missed that spelling mistake in Atlantis! It makes me wonder if we ever do catch them all. Saying that, I'm reading a Jack Higgins book,(his books are like yours) at the moment, and the errors I've come across make me feel quite good! Thank you, my friend. I'm hoping you will read the others and if there are any nits in those, that I and everyone else have missed, you'll point them out too. (No pressure!!! LOL) I did have Grammarly once but it kept underlining my UK spellings and wanting me to change them to the US ones. Even though I kept putting in I wanted the UK version. But I will give it another go. Thanks for it all!! :) Sandra xx

I don't know how you manage it, but just when I think there can't be any more surprises at the end of a chapter, you manage to come up with one. I'm with Eric. Just because Herbie is becoming a bit humanised, doesn't mean he has to be repaired or scrapped! No problems that I can see, except an extra space between the word never and been - have never ()been programmed. Otherwise super!

LOL, I have had a few people worried about Herbie. Thank you so much, Alexis for reading and reviewing this part. I hadn't heard from you for a while and was beginning to get worried. I hope you're well and staying away from people. Thanks for spotting the gap, I'll get it sorted now. Big hugs, my friend, and much love. Sandra xxxxx

I don't think they're thinking of scrapping Herbie... how funny that I'm voicing that to the person writing the story!
Very good chapter. :-)
Has me wondering where/how this is all going to go?
I suppose I better stay tuned! :-)

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Yes, it was a very pleasant, unexpected surprise, Sandra.
-An excellent chapter that continues the
quest for the Aqua-beings to find a new place.
-What better way to do that than with the help of Drozig.
-He has a way of appearing at just the right time!
-I like the beginning when Eric shows he is a bit put out.
-And Kon calls him on it, in a nice way, but Herbie isn't fooled!
-I like how you have Drozig enter the story, too.
-After that, the story informs us of many details
involving Drozig's plans, bringing the Wise Ones into
the story, along with the hope that something can be done.
-You lead up to the final conclusion with good
description about Herbie and how he has been feeling.
-Both of these issues will be interesting to
see how they will be resolved.
-Well done, my friend.

Thank you so very much for this brilliant review, Pam. Sometimes, when I read your review, I think to myself, did I really write all that! Lol. Eric is upset, now to see how it all works out. Thank you for the six stars, and again, for this wonderful review. Much love and a big hug, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx
Comment from Bill Pinder
Sandra, I enjoyed reading this very well written chapter about the ongoing adventures of Eric. I like how you weave together the creative personalities and abilities of the creatures from different planets and their willingness to help each other. Bill

Comment from Iza Deleanu
There is something wrong with you, Herbie, I've known it for a while. You're doing things you shouldn't be able to do. You've started wanting to go places, craved excitement, and shown many human traits that drones have never been programmed with. It is most interesting. As I said, you appear to be evolving, and I know our scientists would be very keen to examine you."
I wonder if Herbie it's becoming human.

LOL! LOL! LOL! Those nits... you are so funny, Linda!!!
Yes, Drozig was the only one who could possibly help them. (and it allows me to put him this book. He's been in them all so far.) That's him in the picture, lol. Will he take Herbie away? I think Eric would go ballistic if he does! Drozig must act wisely. :)) Look, he has me to help him make the right decisions!!!!
Thank you my dear friend for those lovely 6 stars, and the funny, brilliant review. Love you loads and loads, and sending more hugs and love to Noah, my little hero! Take care, let me know how our mom is doing, I'm worried about her. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sandra xxxx

"Herbie's eyes twizzled." I love the verb. While not a fan of fantasy fiction, I enjoyed reading this. Your last two paragraphs gave me the gist of the story line. The summarized ending of part 7 hints of the setting and characters. Skillful work, Sandra.

What a lovely review, Shari, thank you so much. That is really encouraging to know that you could pick up the gist of the story from this one. I hope you can come back again. Take care, and stay safe! :)) Sandra xx
Comment from aryr
An amazing chapter Sandra. Poor little Eric for being left out on the conversation of Herbie and Gizmo. But it was indeed a wonderful surprise that Drozig showed up, alas without Zig. It was great that Drozig was able to ensure Kon that a new planet would be found and that they, meaning Drozig would ensure their assistance with the transport. Wow, Eric became rather adamant when it came to Herbie and his possible return to Xrolmaita. Great job, big hugs and smiles. Stay safe, be well. Alie.
