From his behavior and appearance, Miko surmised that he was a refugee player. So she quite bluntly asked him to confirm. “Ah yes, I am,” he replied. “I have been freelancing for some time in order to survive.” “Are you merely floating around?” Miko asked. “There is an opportunity I am waiting for
“And that sums up the fifty-seven basic control mechanisms for the Prometheus Core,” said the Admiral. “Over the course of the next six cycles, we will go over the advanced control mechanisms.” Admiral Chase had lectured them on the core they were going to be testing. The display behind her was fil
“How are you all enjoying Tartarus Base?” asked the Admiral. “Not that you got to see much of it. But you’ll get your chance over the coming weeks.” “Are we stuck here on the asteroid?” asked Redstar. “I mean, I saw in the contract that we got shore leave. But it didn’t specify when or how.” Comma
The Admiral sighed. “You really should mention these things from the start,” she replied. “In any case, why don’t you hop in one, and I’ll walk you through it. Everyone, go ahead and pick your core. Oh! But not the middle one. That one’s mine. Still doing calibrations on it. Best not to interface

“I disagree,” said Miko. “They will be able to activate autopilot faster.” Everyone chuckled. She was normally too straight-laced to even make a joke, and Eva found her momentary goofiness adorable. “In all seriousness though, the job is hard,” said Commander Chase. “Prometheus would make maneuver
Mack sat in front of his PC and stared at the monitor before him. Its cold blue glow etched hard lines on his face. It was late at night, and his eyes were bloodshot. His pupils looked flat and dead, even more so after he took a swig of his now-warm beer. On the monitor was raw footage that Eva a
Redstar huffed at that statement. “I didn’t come all the way out here to become a mechanic,” she said. “I’m a fuckin’ pilot.” “It does mention in our contracts,” Merlin retorted, “that we-” “That we get to test a prototype, not learn to fix it.” “I consider maintenance a part of flying. If you’r

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
This chapter occurs in the middle of Arc 8, between chapters 330 and 331. I meant to write it back then, but completely forgot. Whoops! Here it is now, as a bonus. Please enjoy! ~@~ It was within Central Park on the Unnamed Cruiser of the Corvus Republic that the shapeshifting wolves made their ho
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
