Miko: Does taking multiple videos of you count as something crazy? Miko: Videos where you were out and about and unaware of being filmed? Eva: Ugh. That sounds a little crazy, yeah Eva: But it’s not too bad. He’s not, like, putting drugs in my food crazy Miko: Are you waiting until that starts t
The four pilots flew out of Tartarus Base and found a spot of empty space for them to perform their exercises in. While there was plenty of space between the base itself and the surrounding asteroid field, a good portion of it lay within the path of the patrol drones. Although the Admiral could hav

Klaxons rang all throughout Tartarus Base as the Admiral’s lockdown order went into effect. Civilians, merchants, and contractors fled to their habs, closed their blast shutters, and sealed their doors shut. In contrast, military and combat personnel swarmed in droves to do their duty. Armored hop
“It’s because their very existence helps prevent wars! Knowing that we’ve got technological superiority keeps every aggressive nation out of our territory!” Merlin laughed again. “Naive bitch! All the arms race does is make waste! Waste that ends up being used against normal people. Waste that end

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
