"We're seeing multiple organized infantry formations and a large cavalry formation at the lead. No siege assets or distinguishing machines. Long-range archers are set up in the rear formations. Estimated thirty arrows per quiver according to what we can see at the drone's angle." Titus...

“Before this pans out any further,” Clara started before the commander could accept or deny Albany’s request. “You should know that they hunt in packs. There were several of these…things…at the trailer. And there was certainly a strong suggestion of teamwork.” "True," Kraus agreed. "But if we...

Titus looked over his shoulder at the woman that had spoken up with her request to accompany Dr. Kraus. He blinked once as he tried to remember her face. One of the younger biologists, I believe. What's her name again? Giving up, the commander eventually asked flatly, "And who are you?"...

“Maybe seeing them in a position where they can’t hurt you," Ms. Terrace had begun to say, "and learning about them may make you less scared? Applying logic to fear tends to be the best way of diminishing it. I’ll be there and so will a bunch of professionals who can tell us all about them.”...

Stepping back inside another latrine trailer was a bit difficult at first, but Ezra's morning dosage of fluoxetine quickly kicked in and helped suppress his anxiety. Soon, the young man was able to remain perfectly calm, though with a slight smile on his face due to the effects of the drug...

Tom understood that Dr. Grey didn't exactly want the answer to her half-asked question right away, not while Ezra was still with them and not while everyone was still in a state of shock. Most likely there would be refresher courses in the coming days about PTSD and emergency action response. To...

After a medical team had taken over with caring for Dr. O'Learie, John regrouped with his team and started making his way back toward the command tent. He had left a few officers in charge of reorganizing Odysseus' defenses; dispatching more light-alls to the perimeter and running constant...

With another of the ghastly creatures falling limp from a well-placed shot to it's cranium from Titus' rifle, the ASF commander shifted his eyes to his three and nine o'clock to check for more hostiles. What they were experiencing was a guerilla attack by an unknown enemy with savage tactics and...

When the ringing in his ears stopped, he could barely make out a female's voice piercing through his temporary deafness. He slowly turned away from the sight of the monster's limp corpse to see Clara Sandiego, the archaeologist, standing next to him and holding a gun. There was a frightening...

Tom and the other 3-A occupants set down their belongings and fast-walked toward the exit. When he left through the zip-up flap at the front the sounds of the gun shots rang louder and he could feel a surge of adrenaline and anxiety go through his system. Other expedition team members ran to the...

Tent 3-A was an all-male tent with no occupational relativity with regards to its assigned inhabitants. There was a meteorologist, a biologist, a zoologist, two physicists (including the young Mr. Nash), and Tom, the anthropologist. The only reason he could see for the separation of the members...

Ezra was far from a minimalist when it came to packing for trips. In fact, he was far from a minimalist when it came to anything. One suitcase contained nothing but pants, undergarments, and socks; while a second suitcase contained only shirts, jackets, and two coats. A large camping backpack...

From his spot up on the command deck, leaning forward against the metal rails, the middle aged man professionally dressed in the charcoal grey and white uniform of the Apex Security Forces watched the gathered volunteers and his troops below with steel blue eyes. A silver eagle with spread wings...

Click to listen The doors to the elevator lift opened after a barely audible tone and out stepped yet even more volunteers and recruits of the Iliad Program. They were now filing out, two by two, onto the upper catwalk that overlooked the entirety of the gate chamber, nearly a mile underground...

"Welcome aboard. My name is Evelyn Rouge. I'm Dr. Evenway's personal assistant and in charge of the field handlers that will work with you beyond the gate. As a reminder, you and the person standing on either side of you have been handpicked by Isaac himself to comprise the first expeditionary...
