    Hopes of an Endless Frontier (Open)

    Scattered transmissions. Flashes of power. A possible end to the Directory's shattered state had caused some grumbling among some of the mercenaries Ashley had pushed together, but she had remained seemingly neutral on the subject. Whatever limited personal understanding of the politics she had...

    There's No Training Arc and I Have to Go Fight Giants?! (Lukas, Kujo)

    Nothing? Clouds of black smoke were billowing out of the Ranbu, as though it had already been struck a grievous blow despite no attacks being directed towards it. Alarms blaring, dials spinning, every system seemingly refusing to function in response to the Amatsu's approach. Failure Liana felt...

    ??? (Lukas, Verus)

    Normally such an argument would not have touched Xander's soul. Hope. Hope. Nothing to offer except thoughts, prayers, and one particularly impressive elemental. Useful, perhaps, but nothing compared to the Granzon. Especially not when they were limited by some ridiculous cultist- ꍏꅏꍏꀘꍟꈤ...

    ??? (Lukas, Verus)

    "Moderately. They feed on the pilot to power themselves, alongside anyone nearby. Try to keep it from eating the staff if you can... kill them before it finishes eating if you can't. They're better off dead than in that thing's stomach." A rare note of disgust tinged Xander's voice. His own...

    ??? (Lukas, Verus)

    Finally some good news. Another threat, another hostile entering into a place they really should not have been able to touch. But for once, Xander could say that the threat he was dealing with made sense. An Elemental. Not one of his, presumably some ancient machine dragged out of the pits of...

    ??? (Lukas, Verus)

    Alarms had begun triggering from the first sign of a possible breach in the earth cradle, bathing a dozen monitoring stations red as klaxons blared. Wails in a dozen sounds and sizes forming a peculiar orchestra of danger - performing for an empty stadium. Halloween had left every desk empty...

    There's No Training Arc and I Have to Go Fight Giants?! (Lukas, Kujo)

    "I'm aware of them on some level. Intelligence was limited, but if it wakes up I assume we withdraw. If we're lucky it'll feast on the enemy first instead of our own flesh." Liana was mostly silent for the woman's explanation, but took a moment to chime in at the mention of Yokijin. She...

    Grand Theft Battleship (Jericho)

    "You will go. I will follow. I would request you take some of my followers on board - They will not attempt to take your.. Bianceve from you. And come battle I will slay your enemies without hesitation." There was an abruptness to her words. Frustration, confusion.. directed elsewhere. Tilde's...

    Brass-Knuckle Diplomacy (Kujo)

    "Perfectly acceptable. I'll have to make some arrangements for a broadcast, but if you're willing to record in advance we can get your image into the solar system significantly faster." A little thinner than she'd expected, but a planet in return was payment enough. This deal was imperfect but...

    Brass-Knuckle Diplomacy (Kujo)

    Kath was giving as good as she got with the handshake, careful to squeeze back just enough to make it count. Not that she thought it could hurt the wall of alien muscle, but.. diplomacy. Showing weakness felt like a bad idea and she'd never hear the end of it if being aggressive made things go...

    There's No Training Arc and I Have to Go Fight Giants?! (Lukas, Kujo)

    Hostiles drawing closer... that went up like a Plasma Generator. The more things change, the more they... Distractions. All of it. Liana pushed the thoughts aside, letting the Clang of the Solid Cannon reloading return her to reality. This wasn't a mobile weapon, and tracking their reactors was...

    Brass-Knuckle Diplomacy (Kujo)

    For the moment. Aurora took the threat for what it was - a warning to move carefully. The dozens of mobile weapons surrounding them only cemented that fact. If these 'Shura' wanted them dead, the sheer numbers would be able to overwhelm them long before the Shuttle could take off again. This...

    Brass-Knuckle Diplomacy (Kujo)

    "...Seriously though, why the big fists? I look more like an extra from an action flick than a diplomat." "It was eventually decided that trying to make you imposing was easier than making you look respectable." And far more fitting to your skillset. Aurora stopped herself from voicing the...

    Reckoning (Sess, DEI)

    The Shaurus was seemingly unintimidated by the destruction Roman had wreaked upon the ship, twisting the stolen blade around in the claw's grasp to test the balance. It seemed unsteady at best, but any attempts by the pilot to test their stolen weapon were interrupted by Ashley barking an order...

    Brass-Knuckle Diplomacy (Kujo)

    September 3rd, OE 102 Edge of Martian Orbit 11:05 Local Time A Peregrine painted in Starseeker colours stood out from the void of space. The Brigadier II had been freed from its combat role and stripped of many of its weapons, but it still carried a deadly cargo. One perhaps more dangerous than...
