Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “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
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
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
“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
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
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
“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
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
“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
“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
“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
“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
Kairos sighed as he watched Arkadin sob in the corner. Kenon had popped by earlier that day and made a simple request of Arkadin, to destroy a cluster of dead corrupted nodes, and something had gone wrong, requiring Kairos to intervene and causing the Thantophor to collapse in a pile of tears. They had managed … Read more
TK’s ship seemed very nice, especially compared to the other ships Arkay had been on. Everything was clean and tidy and very well lit, with automatic doors and cute little robots that continuously cleaned the floor. The strange thing though was the lack of rooms. Actual rooms that weren’t just for storage. There was clearly … Read more
The dead region of Lesser South Kinigi was normally cold, empty and abandoned. It had gone through various amounts of abandonment over the millennia but over the last few months, the desolate landscape had been utterly demolished and flattened out, no longer wanted in any way, no longer having even a trace of life. In … Read more
