I hit 90k words on The Cosmic Factor, Book 5 of The Evaran Chronicles II. Evaran and Tevaran host a Star Coalition delegation and the Saurian Collective in a holo room. The cost was a third of the Saurian Collective deciding to go to another star.
Those leaving are extremely xenophobic and see working with humans and aliens, even to stabilize the region, as a step too far. They also reject Sawza, the caretaker AI they've known since younglings, since she has presented cases to be voted on that favored helping humans fight Basmodeus. She's taking it hard.
I hope your week is going great!
