Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“Shush, shush, babe, you’re safe. It’s alright…” Arkay ignored the scratches up and down his body and kept his arms wrapped around Kayel, who wasn’t quite awake but was trembling and shaking, clearly terrified of something unseen. Kayel’s panic had started without any warning. While his eyes remained shut, he had clawed at anything and … Read more
“Huh. Nice place.” “Yeah, it’s been here for a while…” Thyel was surprised that there were only two other ships parked at the Shield and Stave pub. Being the end of the year-string almost, he expected there to be patrons, getting drunk and merry. But the two ships, one of them, Thyel was certain it … Read more
Thyel’s heart was racing as he exited his own ship and leaped into combat. He’d spotted the ship from a distance, seemingly on fire and definitely being attacked by several Voidborns and immediately, Thyel’s protective Beh’en instincts kicked into gear. The first Voidborn hadn’t even noticed Thyel or his ship, and this allowed Thyel to … Read more
“Alright… hold it… yep… a tiny bit hotter… a bit more… perfect!” Arkay pulled back, then clapped his hands together with glee as he and Kayel managed to fuse together the components that had fizzled out. It had taken days of work, but he, Kayel and Phovos had finally worked out how to fix the … Read more
Silverbolt: So everyone here is called Teekay? Telecharm: Yep. Shocktrooper: thats why its called too many teekays Shimmershock: Trust me, I only recently found this out, and these guys are all mad. Silverbolt: And most of you are in the same sect? Telecharm: I’m not in a sect. Telecharm: I live in Deathven Sector Beta. … Read more
“Wow, this place is… not what I expected!” Litvir exclaimed as he gently and somewhat awkwardly landed his ship in the little car park. “What were you expecting?” Kuta asked. “Not a fancy little wooden cottage! Honestly, this place has a bit of a Savepoint feel to it. I like it!” The ship landed and … Read more
People were trying to stop Rethais as they marched through halls and crowds, so they could talk to Rethais and congratulate them on their win, but Rethais didn’t want to talk to them. They had their mind set on one thing only, and that was to get to the executive box where Rethais’s allies had … Read more
The air was cool and crisp and the audience of the very basic Sandblast Arena were awfully silent as the two competitors entered from opposite sides. Neither fighter today was an official gladiator. Instead, they were political leaders, the rulers of two powerful races, appearing in this arena to prove that one side was more … Read more
“Tomorrow.” “Tomorrow?” “Tomorrow!” Rethais grunted, hiding their confusion. Panos had challenged them to battle, despite being a rather frail old Torr. Torr themselves weren’t weak, but Panos was definitely old, and the old Torr was definitely not as strong as one of the prime specimens for the Rethavok. Rethais was, genetically, one of the best … Read more
“Hello, Letharus! Lovely to hear from you so soon!” Litvir had weird telephone habits. He found it impossible to just sit still and take a phone call. Instead, he’d wander around the office (or wherever he happened to be) and sit awkwardly on the edge of things, before getting up and moving elsewhere. Retvik and … Read more
“General Kaiga, thank you for meeting with me and bringing your top gladiators here at such short notice, but I see that there are a few vok missing?” Kaiga blinked, then inspected the three Rethans they had brought with them. Vel was the leader of Retha Squad Three, Gathin had recently been put in charge … Read more
“I think I just worked out why no one else lives on floating islands.” “It’s fine. It’s just a glitch, they’re working on it!” Normally, there would be much more activity at Savepoint, but recent Voidstorms had chased both Corruption and visitors off. The only client that had stopped by recently was a single Pentathax … Read more
“You’re secretly really good with kids, Retvik!” Baby Reksi had been crying for a while, and no one could work out why. Elksia had fed her and burped her, she had played with Reksi and done all sorts, only to exhaust herself and end up too tired to continue. Tenuk had tried as well, only … Read more
“Good day, General Lepidas!” Lepidas was the Vice General of the Rethavok, one below the High General. But Lepidas’s role was always mostly ceremonial. They only really did the small, traditional or fun things that the High General was too busy to do. While previous Vice Generals had always grumbled about this role, Lepidas never … Read more
“This is about Panos’s challenge, yes?” Hasvik and Lysar, the Generals of External Affairs and Hidden External Affairs, both nodded. “Both of you think my accepting of Panos’s challenge is a bad move, yes?” Both Generals nodded again. “And you think I should have just let that minute long insult slide?” Hasvik nodded, but Lysar … Read more
