Kathryn's attempts to push her work off on various other military figures and family members proved unsuccessful. Apparently her commission was a deliberate attempt by her father to teach her responsibility - which was a flawed plan from the offset. It certainly did something, though - her...

L4, 0900 Hours. Being a war hero was harder than Kath had expected. She'd hoped it would be all fame and fortune and celebration. Instead she'd been given boxes of paperwork and a military commission, because of 'distinguished actions against hostile threats'. Not even a medal! There had to be...

He watched with barely-disguised curiosity as Aberon burned, enjoying the spectacle of the 'god' healing itself after the fires died out. But while the sight amused him, the words did not. Smugness was not a virtue, and this being had far too much of it. And unfortunately the shot was...

The past few weeks had been... enlightening for Xander. There had been no need for theft, the tomes providing more than enough for him to draw his own conclusions and make notes for future work. Whatever was occuring in the world above could wait - it wasn't like he was missing anything...

Earth Lagrange Point Two. January 21st - 1800 hours UTC. Throwing darts at a board didn't exactly work in an orbital environment. So she settled for randomly searching through the database of 'low-priority' scouting objectives - checking out flashpoints from the other side, and seeing if any...

Hi! Welcome to the forum. We've got a discord as well, so join up at https://discord.gg/NkVTFNM

Liana collapsed to the floor, coughing water out of her lungs and gasping for air. Despite her current state she still took the time to glare up at Laura, letting out a weak growl and spluttering out one final remark. "You really think... I'm going to give you... ammo?" Everything she'd said...

The sphere was conjured right in Liana's path, the poor wolfgirl getting yanked into it through a combination of her own momentum and the shfiting current. After a bit of futile wriggling she settled for glaring at Laura, holding her breath as best as possible. She couldn't breathe in the sphere...

Hello! Welcome to ignition - I'd advise joining the discord server so we can chat and get to know you.

Glad that your parents died when they did. At any other time? Those words would have meant nothing to Liana. But now? Like this? What was left of her composure threatened to shatter like glass. They strived to change Maake. "You knew about this from the start." Deep breaths. In. Out. Don't...

"If nobody wanted to fight, there wouldn't be any soldiers. Do you see any conscripts fighting on these battlefields? People are always going to fight, with or without us. But if this plan works - there won't be any meaningless death involved." Liana visibly bristled at the comparison, her...

Well, everything seems to be going well - people disobeying orders aside. Now we can just sit back and lend moral support." Combat wasn't meant to be relaxing. But Dylan was reclining in his command chair all the same. A projection of the battlefield lazily rotated, showing the various machines...

Weakness. XN-L screeched to a halt, tearing a furrow along the ground with one arm as she examined the newly-growing crack in her foe. His new body was strong, but clearly there were new weaknesses as well. "I may not be able to take your life this day..." Her halos transformed into a cross...

"You just don't seem to get that what I want to do corresponds with the goals of those I work for." Liana shook her head in disbelief. Was this fox incapable of understanding how other people thought? "Not everyone is like you. Why do you think so many organisations have soldiers willing to...

"This situation has been classified as High-risk. I am obligated to recommend you withdraw to a vantage point." "Oh, piss off. We're fine! Joe might not be, though." The Valsione flipped upwards, its outer armour being marred and burnt by the black beams of the lamalice swarm. After her rapid...

Liana glared for a moment, then spat out a small gooey pile of sugar and jelly directly at the Foxgirl. "There." Sure, it was a childish response. But wrangling her partner seemed to be more akin to babysitting half the time as it was. "You know my history already, but I'll spell it out for...

Liana went to bat the flying object away until she realised exactly what it was, grabbing it with her left hand and frowning at Laura. "Can you... please stop fooling around. I'm trying to have a serious discussion." Her frown only grew as Laura went on. She agreed with parts of it, but at the...

Liana had claimed the common room for her 'Debriefing', activating a projector in the center of the table. By the time Laura returned she was in the middle of reconfiguring it to show both their machines in their damaged states, barely acknowledging her until she was finished. She'd wave the fox...

"It appears I have not yet taught you humili-" XN-L’s taunt was drowned out mid sentence by the fire, and soon replaced by a hauntingly eldritch screech. Pain. She had not felt true pain in such a long time. While her body was seared by the fire her mind struggled to remain composed, settling...

"...Impressive. I suppose it's just my luck that it'd be able to dodge like that." Dylan shook his head, gripping his seat with both hands as the Thrudgelmir advanced on them. A single finger movement activated the intercom, giving him a moment to warn the crew before its sword hit home. "All...
