Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Phovos The package landed in front of Teekay, abruptly waking him from his nap. Whoever delivered it shouted a quick apology before disappearing upstairs, leaving Teekay capable of only muttering a few curse words. He wanted to go back to sleep, after all, Teekay hadn’t slept properly in weeks, but the curiosity of the package was … Read more
Gath and Retvik fidgeted in their seats. The chairs were not made for Rethans, they were hard and wooden, with no room for their tails. Well, there were holes in the backs of the chairs, but they were too small for the two gigantic Rethans and their decorated tail armour attachments. There was a reason … Read more
“Arkay!” Elksia’s day had been miserable, so seeing one of her best friends really cheered her up. She rushed over to Arkay, picked him up and threw him in the air as if he was a little kid. “You’re happy to see me!” Arkay smiled. “I’m so sorry I kept on missing you…” “It’s fine!” … Read more
The crowd died down as Elkay offered himself up for one last question. They had all been there for a few hours, asking questions about everything from increasing taxes on those earning over ten million a year to opening up adoption for all Rethans regardless of marriage status. Elkay had diligently answered every question, apart … Read more
Photeianos had spent the last few nights alone. He didn’t want to speak to anyone, no matter how much everyone wanted to speak to him. He’d made mistakes. Lots of them. He didn’t think he would be caught out by something so small. Little threats were always his style. He’d never actually act out on … Read more
Vahlok roared as he clawed at the walls of his cage. He had been trapped for three days, ever since he’d been caught stealing anti-ageing drugs. He needed those drugs. He needed them to not become a Varga. Everything had been fine up until six months ago. Back then, Vahlok was the most loved Kalsa … Read more
The young Ksa dutifully opened the door and let Kayelar through. Elkay’s office was remarkably small, despite the importance of the position he was running for. In fact, Kayelar’s own office was larger, and he was aiming for Elkay’s old job. “Good evening, Kayelar. How are you? Would you like anything to drink or eat?” … Read more
Arkay had been unloading boxes for hours. Due to a movement in election dates, everyone was suddenly in a huge hurry to get everything sorted out for the elections next week. Luckily for Arkay, because he was located on Portalia, there were only a handful of polling stations that needed to be scanned, arranged and … Read more
“We should be out there.” “No.” Elkay remained firmly in his seat, flicking through an armour catalogue. He’d been wearing the same look for years now, and with current events the way they were, he was considering a change. “Elkay, we should be using this!” “No!” Rethais on the other hand was restless. He’d sit … Read more
“I’M NOT SAFE HERE!” Kayel-En screamed as he clawed against the walls of his cell. “PLEASE! HE’LL KILL ME! LIKE HE DID WITH THE OTHERS!” The young Rethan had been screaming for several hours now. The R-Class Ksa, better known as the Arbiters or the Ksa Astynom, had picked him up outside the High General’s … Read more
“What the fuck is wrong with my damm voice?” Elkay shouted as he threw down the electric tablet far harder than intended. Luckily, the rubberised back caused it to bounce. Unluckily, that bounce made it fall off the table onto the floor, where it landed screen down. With a sigh, Elkay bent down to retrieve … Read more
Volt’s Operator had been incredibly quiet since their trip to the Kuva Fortress. Volt knew that he and the Operator were separate beings, but something after that rather lengthy mission had disturbed the Operator. Something Volt was unaware of, since Loki was the warframe the Operator had chosen, not Volt. It wasn’t like they didn’t … Read more
“Good evening, Arkay, how are you feeling today?” Normally, Feteer’s gentle and overly calm voice annoyed Arkay, but today, he felt almost welcoming. “Um…” “Take your time…” As always, Feteer had a handful of needles and vials at hand. Arkay had just had blood tests done, but no matter what, Feteer always seemed to want … Read more
“April 2nd?” “Yes, April 2nd. That’s the date they want to do. As early as possible. First Sunday of the month, as to avoid arousing suspicions.” Nenth glanced up from his desk, across the room where the Keeper was having a quick nap. “Why?” “I don’t know…” the voice at the other end replied. “I … Read more
The cheers faded into nothing as Photeianos slammed the doors shut behind him. While the many Rethans out there were sated, worry was gnawing at his heals. “That went well!” Kayel-En smiled as he rushed to Photeianos’s side, a large glass of mead and a stick of grilled meat at hand. “It always goes well … Read more
