Jackson shook his head adamantly as he wiped his eyes dry. “No, no, no,” he said. “Our published code was clean of all that crazy testing. I mean, yeah, of course there were bugs. But I mean, I think all that was stolen from us was information rather than code. Database assets, not the engine. So a
Friends were necessary to survival. “Solo, huh?” he said. “I’m impressed.” “Don’t be,” she replied. “The game ate up a good chunk of my life. Some days, that was all I ever did.” “You’re making it sound like you enjoyed wasting your time.” “That’s exactly what I mean. Years of my life disappeare
Eva saw nothing but a bright blue sky as she laid down on a soft patch of grass. It was a supremely nice day, and so the city decided to open up the dome during daylight hours. This allowed all of its birds to fly around and stretch their wings. Drogar with the clearance and the equipment also had
As they spoke, they were interrupted by a rather weary-sounding female voice. “There you both are,” she said. “Been looking everywhere.” Both of them perked their heads up and looked at the source - it was the Admiral. Eva waved with one hand as Miko greeted her verbally. “Hello Admiral,” she sai
Eva nodded. From her experiences with Drogar, even the nice ones, that seemed to be on par with their society. They typically treated their enemies with immediately hostility. Thus the beltknives and the dueling laws. “Sounds efficient,” she said. “I hope he gets them.” The Admiral’s voice immedia
Midway up one of the Red Spiral Towers, the Admiral, Retholis, and a few of their officers sat in a small, cozy booth. The booth was nothing more than a circular room with a dark wall and ceiling. A long cushioned seat ran along the edge of the wall, and ringed a circular table that protruded from t
“Great,” said the Admiral. “So we’re on, then? We sign some paperwork, make some armor, and wait for the inevitable?” “Not quite. We obviously can’t do human armor - that clearly wouldn’t be for the benefit of the Drogar. But maybe something along those lines. As someone who develops cutting edge e
Paveloth practically choked in anger at Thalcrii’s responses. What he was saying was completely preposterous! His district was strictly against the measure. He himself was against it. Everyone knew it. He had previously voted against it, and even spoke his displeasure at the expenditures. His sudde

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
