Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “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
Kairos waited patiently at the top of the mountain. Below him, Arkadin was checking over the result of a recent battle, noting down the dead and how they died. One side, Arkadin wasn’t sure, had decided to use a gas bomb, but the high winds had caused a blowback, killing pretty much everyone. With no … Read more
Gathered around the worn down table were some of the finest minds in Palaestra. A Rethan General, two of the Crown Princes of the Kronospasts, the Vrekan Ripper, the best Ksithan mind in the city, the Second in Command of Palaestra and the Raptor herself. Really, Kayen was feeling a little out of place. “We … Read more
It had been a while since Phovos had the time to turn her little laptop computer on and play some games. She’d just got back from some interesting meetings, full of things she didn’t want to think about right now, so some relaxation in the form of murdering pixelated enemies sounded appealing to her. Of … Read more
The Waterfall Cafe was always quiet in the evenings. It was built and run for the office staff who worked in the main Palaestra government buildings, meaning that after 9pm, everyone would have gone home aside from a handful of emergency staff. The cafe, aside from the small, indoor waterfall in the centre of the … Read more
“You heard everything, didn’t you?” Psiksi and Kayen sat awkwardly at the table while the Thantophor paced up and down. “You heard every word we said.” The Thantophor didn’t seem angry. But neither of them could really tell. He was just pacing up and down, looking like a perfectly normal yet slightly bemused Skyavok. “You … Read more
Kayen and Psiksi had been chilling at Arkay’s place for a while. At first, they felt like they were intruding or getting in the way, but Arkay, better known as Arkadin, the Lord of Death, just seemed really happy to have company. They had sat outside first while the Thantophor did various things inside, but … Read more
“You agreed to this pretty quickly…” Kayen muttered as he followed Psiksi up the stairs. “Well, I know exactly how you feel, so it’s pretty much my duty to help you!” Psiksi was a very brightly coloured Skyavok, pale skin with white and yellow armour. Kayen always thought he stood out with his orange and … Read more
“You alright, Kayen?” Kohra smiled as he let himself in, throwing his keys and wallet into a nearby bowl. Ever since the whole “being captured” thing, none of them had been particularly right. Kayen in particular had been taking it all rather badly. In fact, he had basically been living out of one of Phovos’s … Read more
“I just noticed! You didn’t say hello to those two mortal friends!” Thassallin gasped as he finished his fifth bowl of ice cream. “That was hours ago…” Arkadin sighed. He loved ice cream almost as much as Thassallin, but all he had in his bowl was a small puddle of lemon sorbet that had melted … Read more
Tenuk gave Kohra a friendly pat on the shoulder as he sat down at the table and handed him his ice cream. They’d both ordered the biggest thing on the menu, a triple chocolate surprise, which lied about the amount of chocolate it contained – rather than just the three advertised, the ice cream had … Read more
