Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“That… isn’t who we were worried about…” Despite Kal consisting of six mechanical bodies, they all somehow looked very concerned. Their crystal eyes glowed weakly and they all stood close together. Galyn could tell something was wrong with them. “What do you mean?” Retvik asked, hoping to settle Kal’s nerves. Tah, the leader of the … Read more
Retvik had been waiting for a while now in this little room. The dinner in front of him had gone cold a long time ago, but the food wasn’t his to eat. It was the leftover romantic meal between a Life Goddess and the strange entity he and Galyn had been trying to track down. … Read more
“Hello, strange Tawahian and Elwahian! How can I be of service today?” While his new friend Kinisis seemed clearly annoyed by the appearance of the two armoured beings, Kanuva was relatively unphased. He knew he was in a strange, new domain, so these two creatures, despite their ferocious looks, weren’t that worrying. In fact, the … Read more
Relkir grunted as he left the dining table and his meal, and followed Atteh’Kus down a narrow corridor, down the ship and towards the cargo bay, which everyone weirdly used as the ship entrance. For some reason, the order of “don’t let anyone in” was too much for the massive, horned Banikan to handle. “I … Read more
“Retvik, a word, please?” So far, Retvik had been in a good mood. Alongside his boss Galyn, he had located the mysterious entity that had caused worry and fear for a group of Decay Lords. They were now on their way to the mystery being’s location and their ship was quite happily zooming by on … Read more
“I am beginning to think that we are doing something wrong…” Retvik had held his tongue for hours now, as he and Galyn had fruitlessly combed through a myriad of data channels and frequencies in one of the biggest activity hotspots around. No one around had paid any attention to the tiny Thantir ship, quietly … Read more
“Oh hey, you’re actually online.” Retvik sighed as he checked his messages, then typed a quick response to the latest one. “Yes, I am online, how are you?” “How am I?” a reply swiftly appeared. “Mate, I’ve been waiting for you to appear online for days. What the heck have you been up to?” With … Read more
“You want us to find the source for you?” Galyn grunted as he perched awkwardly on the chair that was far, far too small for him. His assistant Retvik was clearly having similar issues as they discussed the situation with six tiny, round, mechanical beings. Tah, the red and silver leader, with glowing blue eyes, … Read more
“Good day, Decay Lord Vikalos speaking, who is this?” A shy yet formal voice slowly began to emerge from the other end of the line. Vikalos was just about to finish his shift for the day, so he didn’t really appreciate this call. “Hello, Lord Vikalos. This is Doctor Phanty from the Decayling Investigation, Research … Read more
“Tah, I hate to sound cliche, but I need you to come and take a look at this.” Now that Kal had separate bodies for each of its six selves, the team of small, round, mechanical beings could actually spend time doing different jobs, rather than having to do everything one step at a time. … Read more
Retvik grunted as he slipped deeper into the bathtub. He hadn’t really actually seen a bathtub like this before, or really in general. Everywhere he had gone, everyone had just had showers, mainly to conserve water. But on this little ship, it seemed that Galyn preferred taking long baths to clean himself. Then again, Retvik … Read more
The lanky, skeletal being screeched as the rock it was standing on steadily began to collapse. This former death deity was clearly in shock, scratching and crying at any source of life. The screeching only got louder as the Thantir ship approached, a door opening up on its side. Out of the ship stepped a … Read more
For the last three hours, Retvik had sat in silence while Galyn had peered through various observation tools, watching the movements of a handful of Voidborn ships. Due to the vast distances within the Space Between Universes, it was possible to work out a ship’s location of origin and its potential destination, by simply measuring … Read more
“You seem tired.” Retvik was doubled over in his chair, breathing heavily, utterly exhausted after having to run away from and completely incinerate a small swarm of corrupted beings. Really, Retvik found Galyn’s comment rather insulting. “Just a little tired…” Retvik finally grunted, his pulse settling down. “All of… that… whatever it was, it was … Read more
“That is unfortunate.” “What IS that?” Galyn grunted as he pulled a pair of heavy, thick, rubbery gloves from his utility belt, then summoned a large stick. The gloves were for protection. The stick was to prod at the black, inky mass that was pulsating in the cockpit seat. After a few moments, Galyn turned … Read more
