“We do dirty jobs,” replied Mathilde. “But it isn’t all we focus on. We’re a multidisciplinary division meant to answer the de Jardin’s most problematic difficulties. The kind that diplomats and soldiers can’t solve. “If we take a leap further from that: If you’re trying to be a nation-state, then
Induction Temple, House of The Illuminated Polovari seemed like any other civilized planet that the Ravens had ever experienced and encountered in their various jobs. It was certainly far more developed than any colonial planet, but not quite as overdeveloped and exploited as any capitol planet. L
‘Share unto others’, ‘Protect your flock’, ‘Lead with a hand, not the sword’, and other such “commandments”. There were double doors scattered around the walls as well, which no doubt led to the rest of the massive temple. A few were open, and they seemed to lead deeper inside. In the very center
It was hours later when night fell on the megacity. The streets emptied, and most went back home or to wherever they lived. Some gathered together and partook the various nighttime venues with the help of various vices. Much like any other megacity in the galaxy. The Temple grounds were also incre
Before they could draw their weapons, Lucifer dashed straight towards them, leapt up, then performed a devastating scissor kick at one of them. Hir left leg knocked the wind out of him, then hir right leg came in and tossed him straight at his partner. The two Illuminated were thrown into the wall
Freya ran up behind two guards at great speed and took them both completely by surprise. She ducked down just as they began to realize she was even there, then spun her leg out fiercely. The first guard was thrown to the ground as his legs were swept out from under him with a THUD. His mind swam a
Azrael helped walk him outside, and leaned him up on the wall briefly. “I’ve gotta go help the rest,” she said. “But you should be strong enough to be able to get to the grav lifts. From there, go up to the roof where our ship is - the others will help get you inside, alright?” The prisoner nodde
The Dark Market, Minor House Weir Shadows stirred deep below the bustling city’s surface. Down here, the rather spacious multi-floor auditorium was equally abuzz with activity, albeit a little more subdued in excitement. Here, hundreds of well-dressed people stood on a number of floors, along dark

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
