Here, since you wanted feedback, I'll give it a chapter at a time.
Chapter one is a good introduction, and I liked the idea of the Arabian Union as a different tidbit. However, I feel like the whole chapter could have fit in one post, unless I'm mistaken or you wanted to focus part 1's cliffhanger on the recovered file. Find a good balance between a post that's not too long for people that have short attention spans (if you really care for their sort of input) and not to short that forces the reader to navigate between posts too often. Ending it on Delta was a good call, and I'm interested to see how he will develop into something that needed to be locked up.
Definitely bump worthy, and I hope you get more likes and comments in the future.
I will say that the majority of my chapters are in fact too long for one post, which is why I spent several hours organizing the parts in a way that makes navigation as smooth as possible. The cutting up of chapters is not always ideal either, but I did my best to divide them in a sensible way. Thank you. I really appreciate the feedback.
