Hughlander posted:I thought this was in All Systems Red but it wasn’t. Maybe one of the sequels. Doing a reread of Martha Wells still, a scene very much like this was in 'Network Effect' where the captain of the transport wants to negotiate to release the protags after they delivered free repair equipment. But in my head it was on a planet and the reversal involved them needing more help. But tentatively I'm thinking I just misremembered Network Effect.

Snuffman posted:Too much Helldivers 2 is poisoning my brain but also caused me to dimly recall a sci-fi short story that I'd like to read again: I'm sure I remember this one too but it doesn't seem to be in the James Tiptree or Alastair Reynolds collections which are the only sci-fi short stories I've read in the last couple of years. Does it begin with the main character enlisting, and there's a captured lizard alien/s in a cage nearby?

I remember it too, I think at the end with the abstraction they kept talking about wars across dimension stacks or potential stacks - wasn't a published story was it, it was an online/Web novel pushed by the author?
