The Good News: I have all the new characters set up and ready to go, all the new scenes are pretty much ready (may need some minor changes in lighting when I start rendering).

The Bad News: If I follow what I have written, I'm looking at around 225 images for this chapter and that number always seems to grow as I go, so this chapter is going to take a while. Right now I doNOT know when this chapter will be finished, maybe 2 and a half months ++.

The Bubba432 report: Chapter 9 will about:  ?Getting some information from Dad? that I hinted at in 8. Bringing Christe into the family (optional).  A  bit of tension (because)! Then some good news and an interesting question and proposition for the family to vote on(optional)(nope not telling)!!

Stay safe out there.
