Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“What is this? A gladiator arena for ants?” “It’s just a model.” Yisini laughed somewhat awkwardly as Kairos and Epani inspected the little model battle arena that she had just built. She had taken a lot of time to make sure that everything was perfect and, more importantly, to scale, so it could be built … Read more
“So, how was it?” Retvik glanced up from his bowl of stew. “How was what?” “The mission of course!” Retvik grunted as the other two Rethavok sat down opposite him, both with their own bowls of stew. “We are not interrupting, are we?” Relkir asked, holding a large spoon. “I noticed you were not with … Read more
“So, let me get this straight. You landed at the target destination, and everything was made out of candy, and the only thing worth of value that you brought back was a container containing 70% gold coins and 30% chocolate coins, with nothing of value in all the other containers you found?” Galyn grunted as … Read more
“Hey, Sini. Delivery for you.” Yisini looked up from her experimental work, only to see a familiar flash of blue and silver scales. She never got to see much of Kairos any more, and was a little miffed that he’d popped by and left within the space of a couple of seconds. The only traces … Read more
“Uh, boss? What are we gonna do?” The sugar paper ceiling sizzled and faded away as a gargantuan set of jaws broke through it, oozing with acid. A cool, dark liquid dripped down from massive golden teeth, crystal eyes focused on one single being. “I think the ship may have cooled down…” Retvik whispered, switching … Read more
“Are you really telling me that there is literally nothing of value in all 100 containers here?” Retvik was clearly pissed off. He had been hunched over, helping his team sort through a warehouse of abandoned crates for a good couple of days now. They were finally down to the last remaining six containers, and … Read more
The sugar warehouse was eerily silent, devoid of life and mostly untouched. While most of the building appeared to be normal, there was a significant problem, a complete lack of doors. Only one door was present and insanely small and tucked away, hiding behind the fuel station. There was no padlock present and the door … Read more
“It’s still there.” “Yes, it is. The ship must still be quite warm.” “Are we really going to wait until it buggers off on its own?” Phovos shrugged, lacking an answer to Elksi’s question. The gigantic, gilded serpent was still coiled around their only form of transport, having seemingly not moved at all since they’d … Read more
“Hey Arkay!” “Hey Kalis, what’s up?” Arkay had just been wandering to the kitchen to grab himself a drink, when Kalis knocked on the window to talk. Lately, Kalis had been playing some video games, some of which required multiple players to beat. Kalis normally played these games online with a dedicated group of online … Read more
“Fuck fuck fuck…” Phovos quietly hissed as she switched communications to telepathy. But since there was a massive creature lurking around, she didn’t want to make any real noise, in case it could hear her. “Not a fan of telecoms, are you?” Tenuk mentally joked. “I find it infuriating, having to split my brain up … Read more
“Why are the floors always sticky?” Retvik muttered under his breath as he stepped into the empty fuel station kiosk. Dust covered pretty much everything, from the empty shelves all the way to the checkout area, and baskets were strewn across the floor, rather than sitting in a normal position. “Tends to happen when you … Read more
“Going back for seconds, dear?” “Third, actually.” Relkir had just wanted to get some more food, but, rather annoyingly, Litvir was in the way, Leaning against the wooden door frame, he was blocking the entrance to the main kitchen, presumably waiting for Relkir to come by. “Do you need something?” Relkir asked, holding an empty … Read more
“That… was not the shape I was expecting…” Tenuk reduced the thrusters, slowing the ship down to a standstill. In the darkness of the void, a familiar golden trim winded its way through what looked like an abandoned fuel station, with a warehouse behind it. “What were you expecting?” a voice from behind Tenuk asked. … Read more
Retvik grunted as someone patted him on the shoulder. He had been standing on a balcony, watching Tenuk and Elksi make some small repairs on their ship, somewhat lost in his mission brief. The small pat though quickly brought Retvik back to reality. To Retvik’s surprise though, the shoulder pat came from someone rather unexpected. … Read more
“We have a mission?” Phovos blinked as she stepped into the office alongside Retvik, Tenuk and Elksi. “Is it a fun mission or a normal mission?” “Should be a standard mission.” Galyn stood up from his large office chair, towering over three of the four crew mates. “Kinisis has requested that I send you out … Read more
