Long-serving Kymari warship captain Thessial Kashtan is on patrol in an outlying system of the Empire. It's a thankless and glamourless job, but he's slated for promotion to greater responsibilities soon after. But when an unidentified vessel emerges into the system and displays hostile intent, he may soon get exactly the diplomatic excitement he wanted... A Willing Foe and ΔV is set in the universe of my currently-in-progress fanfiction The Nature of Change, which itself was inspired by (and is set in the universe of) Upon Wings of Change, by @CrystalScherer. I'll eventually get 'round to starting work on that again...
