Chapter 07
Creator Update:
Obligatory annual update time! Chapter 07 is shuffling ahead in the time I have before moving across the country (yes, again). How many house moves have I been through while working on this project now I wonder? (5!?) Since the last update I've had some issues with my hosting provider making all my VN files vanish from their servers, and after much investigating we found that an automated system was removing my .zip files thinking that I was using them for data warehousing. It was all very frustrating, and currently the previous chapters are being hosted on my dropbox.

SYNOPSIS
Set in a ‘near-future’ on a fictional world, Ex Astris follows the story of Lanis Rosenberg, a newly graduated doctor working in the Loennian military. Doubtful of her abilities to cope in the army and lost with her direction in life, Lanis’ world is suddenly turned upside-down when she is transferred to the secretive, militaristic nation of Xian. There, she is assigned to a subject named A-28 'Ash'. An emotionless, unstable, biologically engineered soldier and her opposite in every way…
In the aftermath of deactivating A-28's brain chip, Lanis finds herself picking up the pieces of a broken past and a broken person. Struggling with new horrors brought about by her visions, the young doctor begins paying the price for shouldering the burdens of others with her own sanity.
