The vorpal swords went snicker-snack, each with intent and strategy. Two slashed to reopen the wounds on the blue-black bird's funnel stores. Another two lanced into the barrels of its shoulder cannons, and still another two scarred the engine ports on its legs. Between the C-funnels the rose...

The spearpoints of the Lady maintained their binary orbit, circling round at round with their noses pointing straight up, but always at opposite sides from one another, spouting their fountains of energy high into the void and back down again. The arc was precisely calculated to give their beams...

As was to be expected, the Phoenix bobbed and wove between the beams directed at it, as agile on the wing as its sister. But then, it just sort of stopped. With the Halphas sweeping in from the side to tackle it, it reversed thrust, halting in the air and just sliding to one side of another...

The Halphas snapped its fingers and two bolts lit the stormy sky. The Phoenix snapped its hand around the lone Rose Bit, and the C-Funnels streaked back toward it, circling to form spinning shields to either side, helping shield it from the torrents of heat that followed shorty after. The...

Thus was the pace of newtypes and digitized souls alike. Minds who thought at speeds inhuman, and minds who saw the time before it came. In this space, they had finally come into machines that could follow that pace. Titans possessed of tireless hearts and bodies that were atomic seas in man's...

As petals on the wind, the small remotes were rebuffed by the intensity of the flaming sheath woven around the Halphas. Between the Burning Flare and the Halphas's engine wash it was a wonder the bits hadn't been eradicated like motes of down for their efforts, but having been denied their...

The red bird streaked toward its counterpart, wind raking across its burnished hull. Somehow, it deigned not to ignite its Burning Fire until the same split instant the Halphas did, each bird igniting in its own color in perfect harmony. Where the Halphas lit its binders in a shining blue plasma...

Never one to wait, the Phoenix snapped a sword to either side, balancing itself and further closing the distance ahead of the future its pilot anticipated. The moment the ash cleared and the green-eyed monster could see its quarry, it was already halfway to melee range, taking a trajectory to...

Unfortunately, the Halphas would not be given much time to relax on its perch. No sooner had it leapt from its initial resting place than the Phoenix's other arm followed suit, lobbing a volley from the left hand at the very building Halphas so artfully lit upon. Its lifted gaze was thus met...

The feeling came first, a factor quite familiar to a newtype. With or without a flash, the simple empathic notion welled in the back of the mind. Much as an oldtype might pause feeling something amiss, or a mother feel a hint of alarm out of the blue, so now did a pang flare in the back of the...

"... ah. Kyl get over here." The amazon in scarlet and gold glanced down at her side to survey this new wrinkle. No sooner, it seemed, had they begun excavation than the single least conducive thing to that effort had popped up. As her eyes tracked along the girl, her helmet's optics began...

Camille's lone index finger flicked across the terminal screen, surveying page after page of prospective patient profiles. With each one came a story, a tragedy in multiple acts. Name, age, rank and family history, a basic dossier of position and work history. All of that she ignored for the...

The VanGray cruised at a speed relatively steady to its launch velocity, coasting forward in no particularly great hurry. The other machines exited the hanger in sequence behind her, each adopting a place and a pose befitting their temperment. Her eyes turned larboard, regarding them each in...

A series of loud clacks followed by a whir announced the moving of one of the berths. The alcove of the (as yet) smallest of the assembled machines began to slide back and to rotate, ferrying it over to the launch deck. Once placed in alignment the platform rose toward the dorsal hatch, the void...

The homing lasers were scarcely passing under the prow, and the captain's roar to launch still fresh in the ear when Vanessa chirped again. "Detecting another energy signature - Giga-Wide Blaster in sector Gamma!" "Hmpf! Nice of the arbiter to join in our little light show. Let's just see if it...
