Boomerrang
Besariòn looked at the controls again this could not be right, according to the controls they were back where they started. The maneuver he just pulled off should have placed them in the Remlaud System instead they were still sitting at the edge of the Penault system in exactly the same place they had started. He rechecked his calculations and ( Read more... ) -
Beating Around the Bush
Since recent events revealed Vittorio as a supposed Ndakinnian agent, Chepi was only too happy to transfer custody of their disgruntled travel companion over to command central, certain if he really was working for Intelligence, it had probably been a coon’s age since he’d reported in. Once they’d relieved themselves of that burden, she and the ( Read more... ) -
Notice
Drustan begrudgingly traversed the labyrinth of tunnels beneath his Apothecary heading to Vito’s subterranean headquarters, annoyed at being summoned for a meeting. He noticed a sign above the entrance to Vito’s offices and was sure it had not been there before. Since he’d arrived before the others, he made a quick check of each entrance to the ( Read more... ) -
Power Transfer
Palos, SPAIN.
Edgardo Gagliardi plodded slowly towards the docks with his eldest son close at his side. Hoping to rebuild his family’s fortunes in the New World, he should have been full of excitement at the start of this great new enterprise, but his heart was heavy.

Chicago Blues
Dejhan wandered through the house he had shared with his grandmother in a wistful sense of amazement. He had been surprised to find that not only was it still standing, but she’d left it in his name. Nana had died while he was going through the Academy as part of his rehabilitation for the armed robbery he’d been busted for. He had not known ( Read more... ) -
Into the Wild
Fehed never had any problems with feats of endurance, but his mind was elsewhere while the troop finished up the last mile of their final basic training run, as another hurdle yet loomed ahead of the young cadet when he returned to the barracks. Everyone had to select a military specialty, but he was still unsure what he should do. Back at base ( Read more... ) -
Dark Discovery
Casimiro shifted in the leather seat of his mid-sized midnight blue sedan, trying to work the circulation back into his lower half. He’d been parked here in stakeout mode for hours, waiting for Dr. Karen Strathmore to finish her workday, hoping she might have more valuable information for him tonight than she did last night ( Read more... ) -
Gear Up, Guardian
Alden dreads election years. He despises having to talk to the press. The complexities of his job alone are bad enough without the added pressure of having to answer inane interrogatories about how he feels about this or that policy, over the establishment of which he has absolutely zero influence or control. His number one responsibility, as ( Read more... ) -
She Sings the Body Mechanic
This was the address he had been given by the old sawbones... he double-checked the slip again, just to be sure. But how could this be right? This place looked like a respectful clinic, not the kind of back alley shack he’d have expected an old sawbones to be associated with. But there it was in front of him... this was the spot. Deandre went ( Read more... ) -
Check, mate!
From as quiet an inner space as the back of the mission van would give up, Rhiannon struggled to maintain a firm hold on her reflective calm. Chepi, like a caged tiger, was showing signs of restlessness; Ezra was on his laptop, in contact with Donatella and Galen - other members of Vito’s crew - while his bodyguards, Anezka and Ondrej, perched in ( Read more... )
