Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Phovos “Have you got a moment? We need to talk.” That was an odd message. Normally, whenever Tim messaged Phovos, he’d say hello first, then ask how Phovos was doing, always sympathising with her. It was always the same. The only time he’d deviated from that same introduction was whenever something exciting was going on. “Sure, … Read more
Kairos had been knocking on the door and tapping on the windows for several hours now. Ever since the Thantophor had abruptly run off, leaving him with unanswered questions. A quick check with Kenon told him that Arkadin had gone back home, locking himself in his house. “Please, Arkadin, tell me what’s wrong?” There was … Read more
“You’re doing it again…” This was the second time in nearly as many days that Arkadin had caught Kairos hovering behind him, waiting impatiently to ask him questions. Today, Arkadin was just dealing with the remains of a volcanic eruption that had perfectly buried a city full of primitive sapient beings so he had time … Read more
Volt couldn’t remember how he got there. He wasn’t actually sure where ‘there’ was. Either way, it was a very tight space, with only just enough room for him to stand up straight. What bothered Volt more though were all the needles sticking out of his metallic Warframe flesh. Every few seconds, a tingling sensation … Read more
“Arkadin, can you help me with something please?” “Is it urgent?” “Kinda, yes.” The Thantophor rolled his eyes. He was in the middle of cleaning up what looked like a battlefield but was in fact just a normal village square. This dumb planet was filled with religious extremists which regularly blew each other up, but … Read more
Epani had just finished terraforming a planet and was now sitting idly in the planet’s orbit, toying with its newly formed moon, while Yisini inspected her new masterpiece. “Sister?” “Mhm?” the Panelix wasn’t paying much attention to what Yisini was doing. She was probably testing the temperatures of oceans, working out where to dump collections … Read more
It had been a long day, but Elkay was finally at home, having finally escaped from all his duties as the High General of the Retha. He was a humble yet strong leader, but some times all Elkay wanted to do was stay at home and read a good book, to melt away into an … Read more
“Elkay, may I have a word?” King Ver had an anxious look on his beaked face. There was clearly something bothering him. “Of course.” “In private?” “Of course!” There was definitely something wrong. The High General of the Retha and the King of the Vrekans had been good friends for a very long time. There … Read more
For Inktober, I decided to draw things from the Phoviverse. Here’s the 31 things that I drew. Day 1 – Kinisis Kinisis is the personification of the Phoviverse, the universe’s avatar and its creator. Nearly 14 billion years ago, the deity settled down in a little corner of the multiuniverse and gave birth to four … Read more
“What was all that about?” Arkadin watched as Psiksi wobbled over. He’d been sitting on a bench, staring out into the void. There were no stars in the night sky, only that horrible, empty darkness, the hollow that reminded the Thantophor of his uncaring ‘father’, the Voidborn. “What was what about?” Psiksi wobbled some more, … Read more
“You actually look quite good as a Skyavok…” Kairos rolled his eyes as Arkadin put a cardboard skull on his head, painted white and decorated with antlers made of twigs and little flowers. When the Thantophor had invited him round to go and kill some people, this was not what Kairos expected. “I literally just … Read more
The Strata Relay was just ahead. Excalibur’s landing craft, his plain Liset, landed in the hangar, and the young Tenno happily jumped out. There were very few other landing crafts here. Just that yellow Mantis landing craft which always seemed to be parked in that same spot. Didn’t seem to be any other Tenno nearby … Read more
The lab was on fire. What had caused the fire, Tim wasn’t sure. None of his experiments required any source of flame, any spark, any flammable gas. But everything was currently on fire right now. Tim was a biologist. One of the best. Overshadowed, yes, but that didn’t bother Tim. His work meant everything. He … Read more
“Stupid fucking Ospreys…” Volt was not having a great time. There were Corpus Ospreys everywhere and they were shielding a ton of Corpus grunts. All Volt wanted to do was close a nearby Void Fissure, clean up some of the Infested that were lurking around and then get out of there, but no, the Corpus … Read more
The flight had been a disaster from pretty much the get-go. Joris wasn’t the one who organized this trip, taking twenty hatchies between the ages of 5 and 12 to the Ultrapark, a massive theme park on the edge of Thantai 26. But here he was, making sure that every single hatchie remained strapped in … Read more
