Summary
Six ships belonging to the Affini Compact have been disabled in the last two months; each progressively larger than the last, beginning with simple shuttles and - most recently - escalating to a research vessel with a crew of 5,000. Each ship disabled has suffered zero casualties, yet these attacks still mark the largest series of defeats in the Compact's time within the Milky Way. Even more confusingly, the force responsible consists of just a single ship; a vessel by the name of the Rending Talon, captained by an enigmatic individual referring to themselves as Raqi Marr the Simurgh. Presumed to be a Terran in spite of the peacock feathers growing out of her head, one question rises above all others in the minds of the affini who have witnessed these attacks: why is the weapon that disabled their ship one of Affini make?

It Takes Time is a tour of the entire Human Domestication Guide setting, intended to explore lesser-visited parts of the setting and investigate worldbuilding aspects that aren't commonly seen in other HDG stories; in particular the topic of cotyledon programs.
