Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
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
Shocktrooper: Hey EΞ Soulsoother: What? Also, FFS TK, we have telepathy. Shocktrooper: Dude I know, but my telepathy sucks & we’re kinda hiding from an angry Life Goddess. Shocktrooper: Anyway turns out Akah spent all his money on the stuff we needed for TBP & isn’t letting me or LK buy anything outside of one … Read more
Finally, after weeks of nothing, someone had finally stepped up to challenge Xeno Dessaron One. The problem was, the team that had stepped up was the Temthans of Anarchy, demanding a rematch. They were the team Xeno Dessaron One managed to beat just before the Whenvern crashed into the Great Arena, and, originally, they had … Read more
Teekay glanced at the little shopping list that Elkay was holding, written on a piece of scrap paper torn from a notebook, then glanced at his own shopping list, neatly typed out and printed on standard A4 computer paper. On both the Shimmering Blade and the Thantir Two, there were multiple easy-to-use, easy-to-access printers, and … Read more
“Hello, young ones! How can I help you?” Letyin, the elderly Beh’en guard and assistant, smiled as he watched the Flame and the Psion approach the information kiosk. These two beings did confuse Letyin a little, since they were clearly not from around here, what with them both openly showing their elemental affinities, but they … Read more
