Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Arkay sat nervously at the desk, waiting for his medic to come back with a variety of blood tests. This medic was new, a more elderly standard-type by the name of Feteer. He wasn’t a bad medic or anything, it was just something about his age and his constant need of blood tests that put … Read more
Phovos’s offices were always busy, not just with beings coming in and out on business, but for pretty much everything pertaining to the city of Palaestra. Of course, Phovos would normally ferry out jobs to her army of loyal Raptors and Kshan, but there were some things Phovos always insisted on dealing with herself. Arranging … Read more
In the beginning, there was nothing and everything. Pante. The Singularity. But Pante was lonely, bored, lacking. It felt empty. It felt an endless cycle of nothingness. A particle would flash in and out of existence. Over and over. Waiting to become something. Eventually, Pante became tired of the cycle, and of the nothingness. It … Read more
On August 8th 2016 PDW, Queen Xytas of the furthest Vohran nests received information from a race called the Tavrans, informing them that a fleet of ships was heading towards planet Threa, the capital of the Rethans. Queen Xytas passed this information on to the Retham Embassy on Vohra 1, who then immediately called on … Read more
On November 1st 2016 PDW, the Vice General Elkay Theanon, and his chief Ksa Veekay Theanon, were thrown from their office on the 25th floor of the Main Council Building, following an attack that left 20 injured. The perpetrator, who apparently had access to the Vice General’s floor, charged in via the elevator, firing weaponry … Read more
“Vi- uh, General El… uh, ser, can we talk for a moment please?” Elkay glanced upwards from underneath his sun hat. He’d been sitting in his inflatable rubber ring, floating in the still water, ignoring the world around him. Across the pond, Psiksi was picking flowers, while Itakay and Enkay were sunbathing in the midday … Read more
There had never been many stars in the skies above Portalia. The light pollution from the major cities, the small distances to the sun and nearby planets and the thick atmosphere meant only the light of the brightest stars made it to the eyes of stargazers. Instead, the sky was often filled with passing ships, … Read more
Mavri Thyra lounged around on the well-padded chair, waiting patiently. Occasionally, she would spin around and wink at the young, red Kshan secretary, flirting with him and making the Kshan feel incredibly awkward. For a Thanatian, Mavri was incredibly attractive, but her beauty only hid her age and her inner wisdom. Her tentacle-like hair was … Read more
“SURPRISE!” Arkay fell backwards in shock as Retvik, Gath, Elksia and Tenuk all jumped out at him. “What the-” “Welcome back Arkay!” Elksia grinned as she grabbed Arkay and hugged him tight. Perhaps a little too tight. “I missed you so much!” Finally, after way more than the traditional three seconds, Elksia let go and … Read more
The purple, black and gold Thraki perched elegantly above the entrance of the Dovgokul Temple. He leaned over a bit, to make room for the circling white, blue and silver Thraki, who seemed hesitant to land. “Lokmah, it has been a long time since you graces our peaks!” Vokulunax bared his teeth, a friendly gesture … Read more
“He fucking did what?” “He exiled us.” “Say it again.” “The cunt exiled us.” “… I don’t fucking believe it. He has no right!” “Well, he does…” “Well yes but the Vice General isn’t fucking dead! I can’t believe it! Now you’re even further away from me!” “I’m sorry.” “It’s not your damn fault. You … Read more
Elkay had been trying to get the door unlocked for hours now. Normally, with a combination of telekinisis, lock-picking and sheer strength, opening a door would not be a problem. This door though was too heavy to blast off, and Elkay couldn’t see the locks on the other side, to get any idea on how … Read more
Tens of Thousands of Rethans had gathered from across the planet to attend the funeral. Millions more watched on, staring solemnly at their television sets. There was nothing to hear apart from the sound of trickling rain and the marching of heavy feet. Six elegantly armoured Rethans had carried the closed casket, followed by a … Read more
“No, this cannot be right… Are you Arkay?” Arksi craned his neck round to see who was talking to him. He’d been happily sitting there, waiting for his next bottle message from Nenth, when a giant shadow had been cast over him. Problem was, it was dark down there and Arksi hadn’t noticed the shadow … Read more
“Hey kid!” Frost grinned as he slapped the young Volt on the back. “Yellow, black and grey? Unusual colour combination. Did Ordis tell you his sensors were bleeding when you equipped that?” The Volt, who was holding a mod he’d just picked up, trying to work out whether it was useful, blinked. Or, at least, … Read more
