After an unexpected two months' delay, Daybreak v3ch2 is out at last. This chapter was an utter pain to write, so much that I caught writer's block during the middle of it. But hopefully you'll enjoy the results.

I also used this chapter to bring out the big hammer against people's misinterpretations. Many readers (especially back in volume 1) believed that Daybreak on Hyperion is a Medieval Fantasy due to the reliance on cold steel. Well, it isn't. Hyperion is actually in a far more interesting time period: Welcome to the Age of Imperialism. If you haven't picked it up already (by the Absolute Monarchy, the rise of Nationalism, the global exploration/colonization, etc.), the newest discussed technology should make this obvious.

Lastly, I also snuck in Weichsel's National Profile last week -- for those interested. Reference notes for the initial chapters have also been posted, including information for that spam of religious references in the prologue chapter.
