Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
The Life Goddess ship “Epani” silently slipped past two Voidborn vessels, before making its way towards the front of the vast, pyramid-shaped prismatic ship known as the Diamond, what was believed to be the headquarters and mothership of the Crystal Doom. They’d managed to pass the Diamond’s automated defences with ease, mostly because “Epani” had … Read more
“What the fuck was that?” Vikalos snarled as he tried to stifle the vomit in the back of his throat. Standing by his feet was Tah, the leader of the tiny team of Decay Lords that had recently joined the Thantir. “Sorry, my teleportation is pretty nauseating to organics!” Tah apologized. “But we had to … Read more
Vikalos couldn’t place the expression Galyn was pulling as he led him and Itaviir down to the lowest level of the Shimmering Blade, to a large, unused gathering hall. Ever since they had returned from their little mall trip, none of the Tattered Navigators had been acting quite right. Itaviir had been colder and grumpier … Read more
“You feeling well, dear?” Litvir had gone back to his shared personal quarters for a quick nap after fifteen hours on his feet, but he was surprised to see Retvik standing by the edge of the bed. “I thought you had work or something?” Litvir asked, shifting over so Retvik could lie down next to … Read more
The Thantir Three was a small ship, not really designed for long distance travel. However, it was perfect for training, not just for piloting but also gun aim as well. That was one of the reasons why Retvik had taken it out for a ride, alongside Tenuk, Phovos, Elksia and Eksi. The reason Retvik had … Read more
“Hey, Kuta.” “Hello, Arkay.” Kuta looked and sounded miserable, and Arkay completely understood why. There had been a lot of delays, and Kuta was still stuck in temporary housing and their insurance money still hadn’t come through, meaning Kuta hadn’t been able to go out and buy new belongings. Sure, Arkay had bought Kuta a … Read more
Retvik had been genuinely surprised when the nice nurse had told him he could go home, as long as he stayed at home and rested as much as he could. He thought he would have been stuck in that room, fastened to that bed, for at least a week, awkwardly waiting for the vast amounts … Read more
This observatory had once been publicly accessible to anyone on the Shimmering Blade, but after the Voidborn elite known as Krohniak had attached the ship, as a thank you for saving everyone, the observatory was now only accessible to the Thantir, and it had been converted into a safe space where the Decaylings (and occasionally … Read more
Phovos straightened herself out as she climbed the stairs up to the top level of the Shimmering Blade. She was wearing her nicest dress, a black one with a light floral pattern on it. Phovos didn’t normally wear dresses, she was known to be the deadliest Ksithan alive back when she was mortal, but today, … Read more
Tenuk purred as he turned himself into a cat then leaped up onto Retvik’s lap, brushing up against him. “You’re awake! I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean it!” Retvik didn’t answer at first. He glanced to his left, where a Rethan nurse was standing. The nurse smiled, then came over and undid one of the … Read more
“So, uh, the problem is, I got all this data but I can’t translate any of it. Installed a Voidborn language service pack before we went, so the text is there, but I have no idea if any of it is correct or not or whether it’s all now garbage data.” Tah glanced through a … Read more
Normally, when the Phantai asked for extra manpower from the Thantir, they only ever asked for a handful of extra fighters. Today though, the Phantai were raiding a larger ship, and Retvik had seen this as an opportunity to do some extra data gathering for what the Thantir were internally calling The Big Plan, but … Read more
Tenuk had been sitting on the plastic bench in the hallway for about an hour now, feeling absolutely awful while shapeshifted into a bright blue, extremely fluffy cat. He was patiently waiting for a nurse or doctor to come by and say that he could go in and see Retvik, who was resting in the … Read more
Ptolmieus shivered in his hospital bed inside his prison cell, both aware and unaware of how completely fucked he was. Of course, he did expect that, one day, he’d end up in jail, he was a blatant criminal. He worked for the Protectores Aurei Syndicate, a Cassid criminal empire specializing in leveraging debts from victims, … Read more
While it was almost time to head back home, Vikalos had decided that he wanted to end things on a high note and had arranged for everyone to have dinner at the large fast food restaurant at the back of the mall. The place served nothing more than chips, fizzy drinks and a large variety … Read more
