I’ve been lucky to have been amongst the first to encounter the technology of a few previously undiscovered species. The Mataeons, the Tamerjons, and the Dared’urns to name only a few; and that doesn’t even factor in the Giobhioni, the Keepers, or the Ktonshi. Looking back, I might even consider the disastrous events surrounding Bertha’s […]
Frankly, I was ready to toss my sister out of what the giobhioni called the A.C.B. (atmospheric containment barrier) when she issued that challenge. I certainly couldn’t understand why any of Thomas’s partners were acting so blase about such a bet when he clearly wasn’t. Hell, I had been tempted to walk right into the […]
I’d been looking for enough dirt to lock Benson Fisch in my brig ever since I’d been promoted to admiral. It had been, in fact, a high priority goal handed to me by the then Minister of Public Safety Sipho Mandela. While that particular ministry didn’t have any place in the chain of command, he […]
I hated not filling Thomas in on what was really going on with the sparring match. I could see that the entire scenario was bothering him, and I didn’t like that at all. We benastians, as most know, aren’t at all hung up about the pleasures of sex, and have a tendency towards thinking of […]
When we emerged from hyperspace at the coordinates where the wreckage was discovered, we were able to confirm – for the most part – that the improved sensor grid was performing as predicted. There were some minor adjustments that needed to be done – which meant another trip into the tubes for me – but […]
It seemed like we hadn’t had more than a couple hours that weren’t either constantly running around like our hair had been turned to burning plasma, or being comatose from exhaustion. Even the evenings with Jo, or snuggle time with Boudya had been filled with an underlying intensity that for the most part removed the […]
I was in Jo’s office having our usual evening graptak, discussing the conversations I’d had with my Mom that day. She was doing her absolute best not to allow the stress of my actions regarding the reactor from getting the way of our evening ritual. She even pulled me down for a kiss as soon […]
“We’ll be breaking orbit later today.” LeBeau was telling Jophixa and captain Ha’trolx in the outpost’s command office when I approached it later that day. “The situation on Laszlo’s Reach has the prime minister anxious for me to get there ASAP in case Fisch shows up. Even if he doesn’t, having the extra firepower of […]
Commonwealth News Central October 17, 2342 Troubling news reached CNC of a hostile invasion force making planetfall at the colony world of Laszlo’s Reach two days ago. Short burst transmissions via hypercom and StellarNet social media posts show a large, multi-articulated vessel shaped like a nightmarish centipede. It bore down on the colony, disgorging dozens […]
As I sat, leaning up against the workbench, feeling the rush of the adrenaline in my system drain into bone deep fatigue, I looked over at Tindron, who slid down to the floor beside me. He slipped an arm around my shoulders and hugged me to his side. “Damn good work, vath’rowa.” he said, then […]
