I’m glad you enjoyed that. It was a conscious decision to have everyone be called “sir”. “Ma’am” is just something you call old ladies, and that doesn’t make sense to me. Also, I tend to call everyone “sir,” or at least my friends.

Thank you so much for the comment! I’m glad you’re enjoying the story so far. And thanks for reading!

I love that they call her “sir”. The female officers on Battlestar Galactica (and the president!) were always called sir :)

I’m so excited to read your story. It’s so refreshingly different from other things! Kudos :)

Check on the typo.

And yes, you may guess about the painting all you want. =D

As for ‘sir,’ somewhere down the line, it will be explained that “ma’am” is reserved for Monarchs and Matriarchs. ‘Captain’ is a term that is used, but the short, simple word would be ‘sir.’

Interesting. Dare I guess that the painting is some kind of treasure map?

I find it odd that people refer to Cait as ‘sir’. Perhaps a better term would be Captain?

Also: “had exploded onto an international organization” – I think you mean exploded into?
