The chief of security panicked as he watched it all happen on his terminal. Warning after warning popped up on his screen as each and every single one of his dampeners were soundly defeated. Klaxons blared around him as security officers did their best to control the situation. But there was nothin
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
Merlin flew over to Valos’ heavy frigate as his fighter escort easily polished off the drones that were chasing him. He swooped over to the frigate’s armored belly, and slowed as he came closer. And when he reached a certain distance, portions of the armor slid aside and folded into each other. As
And though their sensors recovered as their armor stitched itself back together, they didn’t get much of a reprieve. Waiting for them as they exited the asteroid field was the Admiral, a handful of frigates, and swarms of drones. Valos grimaced. “So they just softened us up, huh? Then they’re go
The doors to the bridge snapped open as Merlin walked through. He whistled in awe at the simplicity and efficiency of the bridge’s layout. It was the first time he had ever been on a bridge like this, and he was absolutely delighted to the core. Valos stood in the middle along a catwalk, while his
The strength of their shots sheared off entire sections of the frigates. One had a third of its hull wrenched completely off, and its structure glowed brightest where it was shorn. Pirate crewmen were thrown into the vacuum of space, where they slowly choked to death. Their bodies ballooned as the
The Admiral led her handful of frigates back towards the base at a nearly breakneck speed. Pirate fighters nipped at their heels and tapped at their armor with cannonfire, but only just scraped against the surface. The panicked crewmembers on them were certainly thankful for the frigate’s thicker a

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
