Moment of Understanding

It had been a while since Retvik was… of sane mind, at least sane enough to begin to piece together what had happened. None of it was good. His arm plating was basically gone. His tail was ruined. Pieces of his armour were burnt and singed and flaking off. And standing at the end of … Read more

Honest Words

“Hiii!” Kairos didn’t expect Phovos to be in such a good mood today, especially compared to Kairos himself. He was feeling a bit miffed about sibling things and knew Phovos often had the same issues. He also didn’t expect Phovos to be holding a large brown paper bag in her hands. “Hi, Phovos, how are … Read more

Burning Fears

Most of the anti-fire systems had cleared out the larger parts of the hospital, but this room in particular was having trouble. Mainly because the source of the fire was still here, rampaging around, panicking, not sure what he was doing. There was not much the mortals could do, but Arkadin was there to stop … Read more

Problems of Various Sizes

“You look glum. Less glum than when you’re in one of your moods but more glum than when you’re not in one of your moods. What’s wrong?” Arkadin had been sitting on the roof of this Rethan hospital for a few hours now, watching as the injured moved in and the dead moved out. Behind … Read more

Skyan Spa Treatments

Gath took a deep breath as the two little Skyavok knocked on the door, bearing gifts. His parents had always told him to be weary of Skyavok bearing gifts, but thankfully Gath did recognize these two Skyavok. They were Psiksi and Kass, one of Retvik’s friends and his partner. “What are you doing here?” Gath … Read more

Unescape Plan

Mastakon had no idea how many were dead. All he knew was that he was to blame. The rest of society didn’t know yet, but they didn’t have to know. As far as everyone else was concerned, this was a freak incident, a sudden solar flare that had caused massive electronic issues across large parts … Read more

Comatose Chat

“You are so damn lucky that I like you…” Retvik was pretty certain he wasn’t dead. He couldn’t feel his arms, legs or tail, he hurt all over and he stank of burning plastic and scorched flesh, but he had been hearing voices for a while. He certainly felt like he was nearly dead, but … Read more

Falling Failing Thoughts

In a mere moment, Retvik’s situation had gone from perfectly fine to utterly catastrophic. The satellite has been knocked from orbit, the ship had been disconnected from the satellite, everything was shaking violently and there was no power what so ever. Breathable air levels were dropping, the space shuttle was spinning wildly as it was … Read more

A Perfect View

Retvik felt unreasonably worried. Not because everything had gone wrong so far, but because everything had gone right. Every single thing, from major planning to tiny, almost insignificant things, had been perfect. Everything. It was almost… unnatural how well everything had gone so far. Even now that Retvik was floating in orbit, in a tiny … Read more

Privacy or Safety

“Don’t do this.” The appearance of a bright yellow Rethavok-like in the middle of the secret control room was strange, but no one seemed to really be reacting to it. Almost if teleporting Rethan ghosts were only uncommon, here in the 9th Legion bunker. “Arkadin, why are you here?” Retvik asked. Unlike the majority of … Read more

A Strange Kubrow

It had been a while since Volt had interacted with others. Most of the missions he had done, he had set off on his own, finished the mission and returned to his ship, only to rush off, on his own, to another mission. Even more difficult tasks, like half-hour survival missions and defending cryopods against … Read more

Mastakon’s Pressure

“General Retvik! It is a pleasure, no, an honour to see you again so soon!” General Mastakon was an unusual Rethan at the best of times. While very little was known about his Legion of loyal vok, a lot was known about him, his strange antics, his overly friendly tone. All of it was a … Read more

Takeaway Date

“Why DO you keep on disappearing?” Phovos asked as Kairos pulled up a chair and sat down. He dumped several very large plastic bags on the table, then began to spread everything out. “In what way?” Kairos asked. “Because lately it’s due to my brother being a depressed dick and constantly trying to kill himself.” … Read more

An Offer from the 9th Legion

“You want me to do what?” Retvik sighed as he put down his newspaper. “Please tell me I somehow misheard you.” “You heard correctly.” Unlike most Rethans, this rather small and lightly armoured individual was not quaking in the presence of Retvik. Most Rethans would be at least somewhat nervous, standing in front of somevok … Read more

Periuniversal Void 6

“TK, are you there?” Vikalos’s heavy fist slammed on the entrance to the small Deathven Vessel. He had been waiting patiently for too long now, waiting for the young captain to tell him that his friend was dead. “TK, I need answers!” A familiar orange crystalline Decay-Lord appeared in the doorway. He had a rather … Read more
