My beta reader, the one who's worked with me on all my PPC writings, is from Ukraine. I know this issue probably isn't allowed for discussion on the board, but since she's an active helper in my PPC writing, I suppose I should announce this here, and I have obtained her permission to make the issue public.
... I decided, for no real reason, that Agent Nyx Nightingale came from Ukraine. Back in 2014, when all this began, I wrote a short piece from her perspective, to try and get to grips with my own sense of dread. In a bitter twist, her home village is now a suburb of Donetsk.
Even then, I didn't imagine it would end up like this.

(Disclaimer: over the last week, I've been working through my agents doing portraits of them in watercolour pencil. Nyx was already on the list to be done; this just bumped her up to the top and changed her design a little.)

We can't allow you to take any PPC technology with you, the Sunflower Official said. You will be nothing more than one extra pair of hands.
Nyx leant forward onto the desk, staring right into the Flower's bloom. "You think that matters?"

My beta reader hasn't answered for the last 3 hours, and now I'm really afraid. Again, sorry for unhappy news, I cannot stay silent about this 😫😫😫
She's hiding in a subway.
