Thanks to @/korpspropaganda as always for the Korps setting, and to @syntax-takes, @vixiemoondew, @lexithecow, @mabelgreysmoke, @runafjord and @Naeir for their support and feedback!
(Also, I cannot endorse enough that you should read Runa's Crystallization, and the first two chapters of the sequel Shear Force, to which Reach Out is a tie-in!)
