Amal sat on the roof of one of the silos on the farm. She peered through an optical monoscope at the land around her. As she scanned the horizon, she caught sight of a frigate in the distance. It was accompanied by a handful of fighters. They were all descending carefully. The readings on her mon
“Fuck ‘em. Means more for us,” said another. A few of the goons laughed. “If they’re even here,” said a thug. “They’re here,” Nightmare interjected. “I can smell ‘em. Prolly saw us land and hid somewhere. Maybe some sort of hidden basement or something. Likely scared shitless.” He motioned for a
Xylo: I’ll swat down a few, no sweat.Raijin: I will also help. --- Two of Miko’s gun drones flew from around the corner. Their barrels spun up as they flanked a number of thugs. By the time the thugs heard the WHINE of the chainguns, it was far too late. Streams of bullets slammed into them, an
Nightmare found himself visibly shaking and sweating after hearing Eva’s voice. He had only run into her twice before, and she had shook him to his core. He always won, except against her. His goons - the ones who were still alive anyway - looked at him for direction. They were in a serious mess a

Eva walked over and crouched down next to him. She picked up his gun, which sat a few inches away from him. She looked right into his eyes, but all he could see was the featureless faceplate of her helmet. Her voice was calm and cold. “I’ve been there,” she said. “I know what it’s like to be at
After everything was said and done, the Seven went back to their rented office. It was their intent to clean up, split the bounty, then hang up their hats. At least for the time being. Each had gotten nearly 45k out of all the bounties they turned in. It certainly wasn’t a bad sum at all. Especiall
She sarcastically made celebratory movements with her arms. “Alright,” said Eva. “Let’s close up shop for a while - at least a month or so. But let’s all keep our eyes and ears open though.” “You got it,” said T-Rex. “And if anyone needs any help, just holler at me.” Everyone affirmed the same w

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
