Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Larunda Relay was busier than normal. On the Concourse of the relay, over fifty Tenno had gathered, half of which were taking part in the bi-weekly Larunda Fashionframe Contest. The contestants all stood in a ring, waiting for the head judge to pick a Tenno out. The spectators, of which there were quite a few, … Read more
“Hey Frost!” “Hey Volt!” Frost had just gone to Larunda to transfer some credits and ducats. He hadn’t expected to bump into his old buddy Volt. He’d known the electric yellow menace since they’d met on a random E Prime Lith Fissure a year and a half ago, and they’d been good friends ever since. … Read more
The Crewman could hear lockers opening. He had finished his shift and was going to head down to the canteen for lunch. He needed to drop off his weapon and change out of his suit. Someone else was in there though, clanging and banging around. Rather than just barge in, the Crewman decided to sneak … Read more
“So, uh, what do we do now?” The higher levels of the relays were always almost empty. That was why Frost had picked the top level of the Kronia Relay as his little meeting place. The only thing here that could bother them was a single relay operative but they were either blind, deaf or … Read more
Telos had been watching Zoan and Empros argue for a while. This wasn’t a new universe, but Telos knew that both of them were slightly scared. This was the second time in a short space of time that a Corruption had attempted to break in, and Zoan had been getting incredibly agitated. Of course, Telos … Read more
“You’re making an honourable sacrifice.” That’s the last thing I remember being told. Just before I was flung into that pit. “Thanks to you, everyone else gets to live.” I was conscious while they tore into me. Turning me and my allies into the same horrible monsters they were. I tried so hard to fight … Read more
“I’m sorry.” “Why are you saying sorry?” “I don’t know. I just feel I should apologise to you.” “Why? What have you done?” “Nothing.” “So why are you apologising?” “Because I have done nothing.” “I do not follow. You slept. You are not responsible for my actions. You have not done anything.” “But I slept. … Read more
Volt stood silently, watching his Operator wander around the ship. Occasionally, the Operator would turn to say something, only to pause and say nothing. “Operator, what are you thinking?” Ordis would occasionally butt in with his own thoughts. This had been the fourth time, and this time, the Operator actually answered. “I have a name, … Read more
The Horseless Headless Horsemann checked the small piece of paper, looked at the heavy doors, then checked it again. Surely this couldn’t have been the place. Ever since he’d taken this Grim Reaper gig as a side job to pay his student loans, the Headless Horsemann had been to a lot of weird places, but … Read more
“COME ON, FROST! YOU’RE TAKING FOREVER!” Rhino pounded on the front of the white and blue Liset, waiting for its owner to finally open the door and come out. Behind him were Ember and Volt, both being a little more patient than their heavily armoured friend. “I’m not coming!” “WHY NOT?” Rhino whined. “You said … Read more
Volt seemed uncertain as the heavy Orokin doors slammed shut behind him. This was his second time out on the plains. The last time he had been here, it was day time, and he lacked the proper tools to not only fight the swarms of Grineer roaming around, but he lacked the ability to gather … Read more
“Where am I?” “I will explain soon. You have questions, as do I. But I wish for you to answer my questions first. You have been asleep for a long time.” “How long?” “We wish to try and figure that out. Do you recognise me?” “Uh… My eyes are a bit… blurry… But… I see … Read more
“How long were you hanging there, little one?” Retvik laid down the blanket-wrapped body on his bed. It would occasionally move, exhausted, shallow breathing making its chest rise and fall. The odd shiver would course through its core, making it shake. As Retvik pulled away the blankets, he vaguely recognised the being as one of … Read more
Volt stared at the Donda, a small, metallic, spinning shape hovering above a diamond-shaped base, both plated in that familiar Orokin gold. Beyond the Donda was the view from the Orbiter’s window, the rings of Saturn drifting by, minding their own business. Everything was quiet. All that could be heard was the occasional beep of … Read more
Sometimes, I wonder how I got here. A billion years of nothingness and here I stand. Observing. Watching. Guarding. That is my duty now. Protecting a fledgling universe from all the horrors that seek to consume it. Protecting a fledgling universe from mistakes that could destroy it from the inside out. You would think that … Read more
