Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
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
“Sit.” Arkay did as he was told. The hulking beast that was Vikalos had somewhat forcefully taken Arkay from one ship to another. In this smaller, much more orange ship, a plain room had been prepared in the cargo bay, waiting for the two beings. As soon as Arkay had sat down, Vikalos tutted and … Read more
Things had been oddly quiet on the Shimmer’s Plight. It seemed as if everyone was somewhat ignoring Arkay’s presence. They weren’t completely ignoring him or anything. Thaed had been happy to see Arkay at first and Ostos seemed somewhat glad to see someone else alive. Apart from the odd nod of acknowledgement from Saahro or … Read more
Yisini smiled to herself as she closed the door behind her. Her evening had been particularly fruitful and she had managed to do exactly what she wanted. Not only had she been able to experience a delightful young mortal with distinctive genes, but she had successfully persuaded said mortal to go and spread those genes … Read more
Arkay yawned as he stretched out his arms. He had intended just to have a quick nap, but frankly he had been exhausted from all that rushing around, all those tests and things like that. Now he had had a proper rest though, Arkay was ready to enjoy his brand new (yet somewhat solitary) new … Read more
