Shika had… ah… a couple options here. But for some reason, he couldn’t think of anything not involving freezing someone in a solid block of ice. And for some reason, he imagined that Nijime wouldn’t like that. So he didn’t really have a choice but do as the adult that approached him asked him...

The spirit world where most familiars resided, even before they were called as such, was a rather odd place. For the most part a mirror of the physical plane that it coexisted with, depending on which part you were walking along certain colors could become too bright, leaping off the surface of...

❖ ORION, VEXIANNA % CHANCE: NULL Orion solemnly watched as Farqual imploded from the strain of handling such powerful machinery, pay the price for Vexianna’s unwitting hubris. There was nothing to do but watch, bearing witness to his final moments as honorably and dutifully as they could. And...

❖ The Fall of Icarus ❖ Focus: Orion Glass. Orion's peaceful sleep was shattered like glass. His eyes opened to see the world as a blur. Something was definitely wrong with his vision, although he didn't have the foggiest idea why. He was also no longer in his bed. In fact, he was... floating...

❖ Chapter One ❖ Focus: Orion, Meres, Vexianna “Considering that she’s quite literally calculating our chances of catastrophically detonating, I suppose I would be more comfortable with numbers that are a bit closer to 100%. But, what do we know? We’re soldiers, not navigators.” Orion had already...

Sabrina Xim Serena shrugged. “I’ve often been told that action is better than words.” She nodded as she received her instructions, not quite knowing what to expect. Then Aeden dashed off. Serena mentally focused herself before following suit. There was a number of training routines that Aeden...

Veren Koss Ilum was truly a desolate planet. The surface was an endless expanse of white and blue, matching the dark clouds above. At the moment, there was no snow coming down from the sky, but temperatures were still positively frigid as the planet reached the farthest point in its orbit around...

Sabrina Xim Gales had decided, for what had likely been an innocuous and jesting decision, to wake Serena up at the crack of dawn. Really, it just served to irritate her, but if this was what it meant to obey her mentor, then she would comply without protest. She’d promised herself, after all...

Veren Koss The courses of action you mention are one and the same. The point is most of my specimen will keep the Iterion Empire on their toes. The rest of them are simply machines, that if sold to the right beings, could cause untold chaos in very selective sectors. Or you can pull the triggers...

Veren Koss I know far more than what the High Council deems appropriate for a standard Trini to know. After all, I did know about you. Nevertheless, you’re correct. We should move on to discuss other, more pending topics. Perhaps the greatest problem at present was within the unknown, and as...

Veren Koss Veren was seemingly thoughtless for a moment as well, as he stroked his chin with his right hand. Then he began to nod slowly. I see now. You may be a predecessor to what the Trini currently consider as the "modern race", but I believe that you're far more as well. This war that will...

Veren Koss Veren warded off the thought of the complete map from Sesler. No, I'd rather not have the image in my head. The only reason I transmitted it through projection is because even in my head, the map is in pieces. The drone focuses it for me, but yes, as you've said I've been very...

Veren Koss Veren nodded and turned around. He sat down, and two black chairs appeared about as abruptly as the wall had disappeared when Kara had entered the room previously. They seemed to be completely solid forms, appearing as a cube attached to the ground with a rectangular prism for the...

Veren Koss The research station was but one of many countless stations established and maintained by the Trini dominion, warding away those that were not of the Trini through a subtle theta wave manipulation. Of course, this didn't work on every single species that could possibly come across one...

((Sorry, last couple days were hectic.)) Orius froze, and turned around pretty slowly. He relaxed when he saw it was just the courier. Orius had seen plenty of couriers who just didn't care about their jobs and was just in it for the pay, so he had no reason to assume that she would be reporting...

Orius recognized his target. The man had the same auburn hair that had been described to Orius when he had been handed the mission, and to top it off, the briefcase matched the description as well. Well, I guess I wasn't far off after all. The information that he had been handed was information...

Today was not looking to be Orius' day. First, he had to get up extra early to do an emergency job that supposedly only he could attend to. So he had stumbled out of his bed at the ungodly hour, begrudgingly pulling on his equipment, and had trekked to the spot that he had been directed to...

The two bodyguards scrambled to regain control over the girl as she began to lash out at them with punches and sweeping kicks, while the Terran slowly held his hand up to his jaw and rubbed it. Then, in a single moment while the girl was distracted, he brought his fist down at blinding speed...

A couple moments after “Mac” left, the bar doors slid open again. Three men stepped in, one in the front and the other two holding a struggling girl, her arms locked firmly in theirs. Her defiance was clearly present in glaring red eyes, though she was being completely overpowered by the three...
