As a fan of the Elite series (although I don't dare start playing Elite: Dangerous) I was drawn to this story, but wasn't expecting to be moved quite as much as I was. Well worth a read.

    I too had troubles understanding the word groups in the title.

    Elite:
    Dangerous Community
    Rallies
    Around
    Terminally Ill Teenager

    Perhaps quotes would help?

    "Elite: Dangerous" Community Rallies Around Terminally Ill Teenager

    Not sure about the English syntax. In Wikipedia they do it in italics:

    Elite: Dangerous Community Rallies Around Terminally Ill Teenager

    Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately even SN does not allow HTML in the title to an article. I have added quotes to help clarify things.
