Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“Hey, is that your friend there?” Khora nudged at Volt as they both exited Khora’s bright pink Railjack. Khora herself was decorated in white and red, with her pet cat Venari’s metallics matching, but the railjack was so bright that it put Volt and his yellow-ness to shame. They had just finished a mission that … Read more
“Hey, space mum!” Volt rolled his neural sensors as he received another message from an Excalibur he had recently taken under his wing. Unlike the first Excalibur, who seemed to know what he was doing and just lacked the firepower, this Excalibur was filled with questions. Questions and annoying nicknames for Volt. “Please don’t call … Read more
“JATTTASEY!” One panicked, static-filled word just flooded the comms. We pick up signals like this all the time, but as we’re nothing more than a shipment vessel, there’s not much we can do about them. It’s always the much larger military ships that get attacked anyway. The problem is that we’re currently docked at V … 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
“Operator, you have messages, are you not going to respond?” Ordis had been watching Volt do void fissure missions for hours and concern was budding in the Cephalon’s mainframe. Volt had blatantly ignored Ordis every other time he had tried to slow him down and stop him from doing more missions, but now Ordis had … Read more
Normally, Volt didn’t accept random invitations. But today’s random invitation was from a familiar friend. Someone he hadn’t spoken to in a while. A normally very happy little Excalibur who often found himself stuck in the past. But as Volt accepted the random invitation, he realised all was not well. “GO AWAAAAAAY!” Excalibur screamed as … Read more
The little Ember sent her message again, knowing that it would be ignored. Her message entered the Recruitment Channel and swiftly disappeared, pushed aside by a stream of other messages all saying things she didn’t understand. “LF AXI L3” “H 4X3 NEED HARROW” “LF PROFITTAKER” “H ESO 3/4” None of it made any sense to … Read more
Volt waved cheerily as he watched the young Mag fly off in her plain grey Liset. He had accidentally stumbled into a Grineer mining facility where they had been secretly broadcasting attack patterns and security information to other Grineer ships waiting in orbit, and this poor Mag seemed to be really struggling on her own. … Read more
Once upon a time… No, we can’t start like that, can we? We can? Oh good. Once upon a time, there was a glorious world filled with magical creatures. Humans might have called them Pokemon. Humans might also have enslaved them. But humans didn’t exist in this magical world. In this world, the Pokemon were … Read more
The elevator doors opened up, revealing a cold, frozen landscape. Rocky mountains surrounded fields of ice and snow, while rivers of viscous, blue liquids that definitely were not water poured into a large lake, dripping from various ancient Orokin structures and cooling the air around them. “It’s cold!” Rhino blurted, ruining the magnificent silence of … Read more
I think… It’s working! You’re working! Yes! Alright. I have to be quick. I don’t know how long you’ll last. I’ve not… Well even if you just record, that’s fine. Step forward! Little steps! Lots of them! Okay, calm down. You’re working. I’m excited. I have a lot to say. … So, my name is… … Read more
Volt couldn’t remember how he got there. He wasn’t actually sure where ‘there’ was. Either way, it was a very tight space, with only just enough room for him to stand up straight. What bothered Volt more though were all the needles sticking out of his metallic Warframe flesh. Every few seconds, a tingling sensation … 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
“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
Ember screeched down the hallway, skidding around a couple of Cephalon Suda operatives before crashing into a pillar next to one of the ducat kiosks where Frost and Volt were standing. She quietly picked herself up, stared at Frost and Volt, then started whimpering. “I guess you saw the vision as well?” Frost grunted as … Read more
