Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Phovos “That looks bad…” “Trust me, he got the best deal out of the four of us…” Kayen and Phovos glanced up at the fleshy machinery above them, Phovos signing in disbelief and Kayen feeling too embarrassed to ask what the machines were actually doing. Tubes and pipes fed in and out of rose-tinted cells, each … Read more
In the hours (or was it days?) that Kayen had spent wandering around this facility, he had seen some awful things. Freshly cut up corpses. Live births of monsters and beasts. The farming of organs and tissues. The testing of horrible substances, from powerful sedatives to seizure-inducing poisons. The creation and destruction of new forms … Read more
Everything was sticky and horrible, but at least Kayen could move. The little Skyavok had no idea how long he’d been lying there on the ground. He remembered passing out, but that was about it. He’d had some sort of dream about some sort of organic machine trying to suck things out of him. Or … Read more
“This is fucked up.” Everything in the house was coated in a horrible, sticky substance that trapped and entangled anything it touched. Particularly sentient lifeforms, gluing them to the ground and stopping them from moving. More sticky substances blocked out the windows and locked up the doors, preventing any sort of escape from ever taking … Read more
“Seventy five thousand, six hundred and thirty one.” Yisini snorted as the Temthan scientist read out that number for the second time. Yisini assumed they were a scientist. They were the only Temthan in the room who happened to be wearing clothes. A lab coat and some shorts. “And how many of our own?” “Five … Read more
Volt made sure everything was dead before he hacked the console to open the door. He needed to go deeper into this horrible wreckage, deeper into the remains of massive Corpus ship that had crashed into an Infested breeding ground. Why? Because there was some useful data on three consoles somewhere which the Tenno Council … Read more
“Aaaaaaarkadin, where arrrrrrre yooooou?” Kinisis pranced around the palace, glancing in every room. She was about to go for a swim in one of her many waterfall pools and was suitably naked, but a sudden thought had caused her to go and find her son. After all, she hadn’t seen him for a few hours. … Read more
“Are you alright, Kohra?” Kohra looked up, then further up. He’d forgotten how tall Kayen was. Kayen wasn’t tall, but he was now taller than Kohra. “No.” “Do you need, like, some water or something?” “No, no thank you.” Kayen shrugged as he sat down next to Kohra. “I’ve not seen you like this before. … Read more
“Why is there a motherfucking queue in this fucking piece of shit building to undergo this retarded procedure?” Out of the four of them, Kayen didn’t expect Phovos, the Raptor of Palaestra, to be the neurotic, overly swearing being when it came to telepathic mind links. Although to be fair, the little Skyavok was sitting … Read more
Phovos looked down at her own chest, then compared it to the busty look Kohra had pulled out of goodness knows where. He certainly looked like a female Temthan. Probably too much like a female Temthan. After a long, awkward sigh, Phovos glanced at Timik, who was sitting on the sofa staring at the floor. … Read more
“Hey, I need your help.” Timik had a rather horrified look on his face as he slammed a pile of leaflets on Phovos’s coffee table. He, Kohra and Kayen had all been staying at her place for the last few weeks, simply because it was the most secure place around. True, it wasn’t safe and … Read more
Athanasi lounged in her silk hammock, watching her universe spin below her via a crystal viewport with gold leaf window frames. She was observing her children, who were hardly working as always. This universe was an old one and her four Deities, created to maintain the flow of space, time, life and decay, were all … Read more
Kinisis watched her son pace up and down as she picked away at a delicately iced slice of cake. He desperately wanted to leave Kinigi, Kinisis’s home, to go out and brutally murder some necromancers he had spotted in a nearby solae system, but Kinisis had insisted that he stay put. Why? Because it was … Read more
“Hi, honey, are you alright?” The last thing Kairos expected to see when he rang the doorbell of the Kinigi Gate was to see Kinisis herself. She was standing there, the little speck that she was, all happy and cheerful. “Uh, hi, mum, I was going to ask the same of you.” Kinisis blinked. “You … Read more
“They’re coming for us.” Arkadin had been pacing up and down for hours. At first, it was amusing to Kinisis. She enjoyed seeing her son worry, mainly because she was glad that he had emotions. But that enjoyment only lasted about ten minutes, when she realised what he was thinking about was possibly genuinely worrying. … Read more
