It's not very often that the women of the Space Between get to interact with each other on an extended sort of level, especially in a relaxed situation, so I just wanted a part that was exclusive to them. All of the chapters are female perspective, they get to go out and have a nice day out together, and we've got an android now!
It actually started off with just the idea of having an entire part with only female characters, but it was also around the time when I wanted Queen to be introduced in the story (As more of a minor character, mentioned from time to time), so the most logical thing for me was, 'That android needs some clothes'.
I had some difficulty with Queen before, in that Queen wasn't going to be the first android to be made. It would have originally been Adora, who is a much more curious mind and is more prone to impulsiveness that can get her into a lot of trouble.
When I originally had it as Adora instead of Queen, there was going to be a (roughly) 12 chapter short story about her, as Adora was allowed to live in a different universe for a set amount of time to experience what it's like, before ultimately returning home. I'm not sure if I'm still going to have this short story, but it's a thought. I'll only be able to know when we get to when she's actually made.
Also originally, Queen (and the other androids) were going to be fully made of vibranium, but my husband/editor made the argument that if that were the case, they would unintentionally be dangerous to civilians around them. I changed it from a full vibranium skeleton to just a vibranium skull and super-steel skeleton. From my point of view it may not actually lower the danger to civilians, but it would certainly save on vibranium.

I've never actually been to brunch.
