Hmm. I think I preferred the previous chapter naming scheme, but if it doesn't work well with what you've got I can deal with it.
I like Leek Works meetups because all the characters get together and get a chance to interact with the others. I also like how you show them trying to diverge from what they know of the Future Dimension. And yeah lying to the NF seems like what they'd do, especially Aiden. I don't trust them either and I've written stories where they seem perfectly fine. It's interesting really how different authors can present the Force in their own unique ways, even within the same story universe.
Discord in the team seems realistic and reasonable considering the circumstances, while it also sets up the hurdle of overcoming the distrust some of the members have to each other and coming to unite as one team.
Shard is fun, but how dare he steal my lines? I feel personally offended. N_B has transcended to the next level where he doesn't even need to be the one writing to rip me off. There can only be one Le Moi!
Also I'm not sure if it was clear that Rowana and AlterKate were on Earth before, so interesting. I assume this is the same Earth as the one of the hoomans we've seen before?
