Mia’s heavily armed and armored frigate loomed over the hilly, smoldering settlement. Dark grey smoke billowed up from beneath. It flowed around the frigate itself and covered its armored undercarriage with thick black soot. The settlement itself was blackened and charred, consumed by a once-vast
It dawned on her that they were sweeping the grounds absolutely thoroughly. Three times over, in fact. Freya turned towards Locke, a quizzical look in her eye. “They’re also scanning every centimeter of that settlement,” she said. “Are they doing some kinda forensics calculation stuff or something
Every single one of these things looked out towards the horizon, and scanned for anything that came their way. All were primed and ready for war, and the entire settlement seemed nearly impenetrable. Unfortunately for them, Mr Jurassic sat high above, beyond the clouds, and beyond the reach of the
Mia stood on the bridge with anger and disappointment on her face. Every screen that surrounded her and her officers displayed live feeds of everything that was happening below. Wings of mecha scanned every inch within the cratered settlement and transmitted their findings directly to the frigate.

He quickly turned his turret towards where Claire had marked the forest, then blasted into it with his guns. Round after round of the hollow tungsten bolts slammed into the trees as dirt and splintered wood erupted into the sky. Although most of the mecha scattered out of the way, two were caught i
The Spirit of Amelia’s bridge lights turned dark red as a klaxon rang in Azrael and Claire’s ears. More shells struck the hull, and everything shook violently. Outside, entire sheets of armor were blown apart and shorn off. “Armor’s at 63% integrity,” said Claire. “Those things really hurt! I’m ove
But it was wiped clean when a thick beam of plasma cut right into his mecha and consumed its central body into nothing. All that was left of the lead mecha were its lower legs from the waist down, and the top of its head. Two others were unable to slow themselves and flew right through the beams 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

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
