“Thanks!” Eva continued. “I’ll be quick - I promise! “First, I really wanna thank everyone and congratulate everyone. We completed our first agreement with a Major House!” Everyone cheered right back at her, but she continued as it died down. “That was really big for us. Really, really big. And
Amarok reared her head back and howled, but unlike the enslaved wolves, hers was haunting and beautiful. The note pushed back against the Director’s tone, and kept it from taking full control of her. And as her mind cleared bit by bit, realized that Lucifer and Freya were still by her side. They we

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
