“You’re gonna do more than clean her! You’re gonna treat her right, dammit! Regular software updates! Daily malware checks! Keep her running smooth and clean!” Miko watched the two as they talked. Or, rather, she watched as Eva beat up that boy Mack with her words. She was as vicious with her tongu
After much organization and planning and scheduling, Eva, Miko, and Mack reconvened a couple of cycles later. They were joined by Eva’s grandparents, who were positively ecstatic to hear that Eva was still alive. The two of them looked like your typical caucasian grandparents - they were in their 6
Eva wanted to cry at the injustice of it all. But then her resolve bubbled up from within her. She had done things in this new life that she never could have done in her old one. Who said that she was still powerless? Only herself! She was the only one in her own way. And that was a mode of thinkin
“Our pride for her is immeasurable,” said okaasan. “We only wish we could send you money, so we could see you better off.” Her husband quickly leaned into her and whispered some Japanese into her ears, and they had a hushed conversation between the two of them. There was some concern laced in their

“I agree,” said grandma, “the more families and friends who reconnect, the more it validates your truth. More people will talk about it, more people will understand.” “But it still wouldn’t be enough,” countered granddad. “Even if there were millions who believed, they’d be overrun by the tens of m
Past that, the naked human eye wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. But it was still necessary to go a bit higher, so that any downsampled visuals would still look crisp and clean. So everyone pretty much settled on 16k. This meant that raw 16k video files were positively enormous, and Mack ha
The bluish light of a white dwarf star broke the dawn on the purple planet far below. Meanwhile, stars glittered in the vast darkness of space above. A fighter screamed by, its guns blazing. It was very quickly followed by nearly a dozen more, all of which were similarly designed and bore the same

The hab itself was sparsely decorated and seemed barely lived-in. There was a small pile of personal things in bags and boxes in a corner of the large living room, which appeared to be the effects of the small family that had moved in. It seemed that they had just taken possession of the hab itself
The pup came to a small group of human and drogar children, who much like his own brethren were running around and playing with each other. They laughed and giggled as they chased each other gaily through the park. Unlike his brothers and sisters however, the pup found some excitement and enjoyment

Kali shivered slightly as she recalled that moment in time. Her body hunched over slightly as she grasped and embraced herself in an attempt to comfort the way she felt. More than that, her voice started to crack and waver as she spoke. “Everytime I looked at him, at anyone I tried to ‘be’ with, a
“Hey, you doing okay?” Amal asked her quietly. “You look like you could use some company.” She climbed up on the outcropping where Kali was, and set herself down next to her with a warm smile painted on her face. “Yeah, I guess,” Kali replied. “Just going through some stuff, nothing too bad.” “Fe

Her heart practically leapt out of her chest as she ran towards Lucifer. The sight of hir caused tears to well up in her eyes. They practically came streaming out by the time she reached hir pod. She placed her hands on the clear canopy as the desire to sweep Lucifer up in her arms overtook her. Fr
“Wonder how many people in the galaxy have three ultra rares,” she muttered to herself. “Something tells me it’s just me, at least for now.” There is also a high priority note from Raijin, her DI noted. Would you like to review it? Freya nodded. — Dearest friend, Welcome back to the land of the
