The private vessel Nebula-0105, two kilometres long and four hundred metres wide, with sixteen decks, drifted lazily through space. Its pace was anything but, however. Several hundred times light speed was a hell of a velocity, but it was the only way to get anywhere in time, and such speeds...

You know who this is Vogan was in Orzammar. He could smell it. The dust, the stones, the cave beetles roasting in their shells, the utter lack of green life. The deep echo of chattering dwarva bouncing off cavern walls, making twenty sound like a hundred. It was unfamiliar. Nine years of exile...

Brenn Strauhoff Arsten sat at the counter and chatted with the bartender—the establishment's namesake and one of his closest friends—as he waited for whoever had taken the notice to show up. And, of course, he drank. There weren't too many people in, enough to let their talk blend into the...

Ashirana Outside, Ashirana was leaned up against one of the mansion's buttresses, her sword leaning up next to her. The same thoughts kept rolling through her mind. Danarius got away. Danarius had never been there. Danarius would be there next time. That's what she told herself, that she'd get...

Ashirana "Nothing." Ashirana sighed, her shoulders sagging. She should've expected it. As if Danarius would give her even a chance of finding out about her past. Just another of his games. That's all this was to him, wasn't it? A game. That'd be just like him. He'd treated everyone more like a...

Ashirana For a moment, Ashirana wondered if she'd made the right choice here. It was just coins in this pouch, no parchments. Behind her, the dwarf introduced himself as Quill and Dez. Quill sounded like an alias for a writer or something, she couldn't imagine someone naming their son that...

Ashirana ...That wasn't the right reaction. At least the woman looked amazed, or whatever that hanging jaw actually meant, but the others seemed to vary between wary to hostile. What did she do wrong? Was there some sort of social code she didn't follow? The words of the tallest one of the...

Ashirana Ashirana huffed, sagging a little against the wall as she waited. How long had it been? Three hours? Four? She looked up at the sky to try and get a proper look at the sun and judge what time of day it was, only to find that there were stars in the sky rather than a sun. And two moons...

You Know Who I Am Hanging upside down by his feet from some of the rigging near the top of the mizzenmast, Oqdan was, quite frankly, having a ball. It was one of the few things that held his attention for significant periods of time, these days. Watching the skies and the clouds hanging there...

"No, nor would I," a new voice said, a crisp and formal woman's voice. It came from one Ensign Imogen Thurstan, who had experienced quite a ride actually making her way to the rendezvous point with some of the other junior officers assigned to her new posting. Namely, some off-duty colleagues...

Bastien The distinctive sound of metal scraping on stone had been permeating the camp for the past couple of minutes, acting as ambient background noise to the chatter of both the travelling party and any soldiers around the camp. Its source was Bastien, diligently sharpening his sword with a...

Warrick Keep, Near the Valkenheim-Ashfeld Border Tullus Marcius Calvus Few things in life were as satisfying as some hard-earned rest. The only thing that came close was a good Imperial play. The Mirror and the Miser was always good for a nice low-brow laugh. He'd always identified strongly...

Somewhere in the Northwest of the Myre Takanashi Saka Saka padded through the marsh, expertly picking out the most solid ground, stepping there silently, and leaving with nary a trace. She ducked under a low branch, then leapt over a squelchy puddle that she knew, from experience, would...

Warrick Keep, Near the Valkenheim-Ashfeld Border Three days ago Tullus Marcius Calvus "Shields!" Tullus shouted, and all around him his soldiers obeyed instantly. And a good thing, too, for a moment later a volley of arrows came soaring out from over the stone walls, as the gathering of archers...

Sergeant Tsugahara Zakaza Ah, good, the smaller of the large men at least spoke French, who he belatedly realised was wearing the insignia for a Captain, or what looked like it. This wouldn't be so bad. "Sain et prêt pour l'action, mon capitaine. Merci de parler français, ça me facilite la...

Olympian HQ, New York City, NY, USA 0800 Hours Sergeant Tsugahara Zakaza With the first official briefing of the Olympians at 0800, Tsugahara was waking up at about the time he was used to, 0500. Well, it was actually six hours after when he was used to, but Tsugahara was no fool, he'd taken...

"Hello, everybody. I would like to take this moment to call the crew to the Intelligence and Recon Center so that we may discuss our given mission and talk shop. You have... hmm... You have exactly two whole minutes to get here. Shouldn't be hard to miss the grizzled Batarian bastard and female...

Everyone slowly filtered out of the mess hall, leaving Ansgar alone with his thoughts. And his food, which he realised he'd been idly playing with more than actually eating it, too wrapped up in his own thoughts. He quickly gobbled the rest of it down before it got cold, then gazed wistfully at...

Content to let the Hawkes handle the negotiating, Vincente stood behind them and listened intently. His eyes and attention wandered a little when passing through the main area, running rather counter to Amelie's reaction of shielding her face, while Nello quietly pretending that the distractions...

"I do hope you are not just some self proclaimed genius. Would be a shame if you started to create your own army of super soldiers." Would be a shame if you started to create your own army of super soldiers. Ansgar had, at the time, laughed along with what was obviously a joke, but internally...
