As James and Merida exited the shuttle, no-one emerged to accost them. Indeed, it seemed that fortune were favoring them for the moment - or perhaps, that Selene had stayed her hand just a little too long. As they exited, there was the usual crowd of both anxious family members waiting to meet...

Eliza paused in her fumbling as the Gespenst's arm emitted a burst of sound, giving a slight jump - but, as Ana's hand emerged unscathed to brush her cheek, she seemed to suddenly freeze up. It was as if the human contact were still unfamiliar to her, and beneath Ana's fingertips, the rush of...

The trip from the Lunar surface to the Lunar Colonies would have been one of relative ease and comfort for James - were it not for the anxiety gnawing away at his insides, of course. It was a short jaunt - only a couple of hours from the lunar surface to the Colonies above, with flights running...

??? Time: Unknown Date: Unknown Gray seas. Empty skies. Nothing. Just an endless, rolling expanse of void in all directions. A kind of numbness, a colorless existence that tugged at her very being. As if very small amounts of her were being shorn away, particle by particle- A kind of...

The Jinrai remained perfectly still at the peak, save for the wind whipping the crimson cloak wrapped about its form. No utterances issued forth from the commander of Terra Sentinel, the world's most wanted man. He was focused solely on the task at hand, months - no, years of preparation about...

The lights on Romme's ship scanned the debris as he carefully navigated their vessel through the flotsam and jetsam of the stars. Nothing emerged to assail them as they drifted into the dock, the metal plating tesselating closed behind them. After a few breathtaking moments in complete darkness...

The Opus wing dropped in altitude, photonic stabilizers whining as they scoped out the battlefield. The giant with the regenerating armor was of interest to them, as was the nature of the energy radiating from the Great Axion, and they drew just a little closer, attempting to get a better read-...

As Romme's vessel crossed the threshold of L3's airspace, the thundering storm about it crackled threateningly. It was barely even moments before a bolt of plasma arced out of the void, lashing about their ship, causing it to rattle underfoot threateningly. Tense seconds passed as they passed...

Lagrange Point 3 Restricted Territory Limit L3. For almost 50 years, rumor had abounded about the Directory's supposedly failed attempt at colonizing the furthest point from the Earth. Officially, a massive electromagnetic storm of uncertain origin made the area gravely unstable, and as a...

Eliza, for her part, had her sights set on the Jinrai as it danced about before her. Part of her thought that something as large as that shouldn't be able to move so quickly - but the fact that the Lemures was able to move at all could only be attributed to the Artificial Sphere. Still... Now...

Chains of ice slashed across the interior as the dragon roared, raising its head towards the falling Cross Calibur, energy particles already gathering within its mouth as it prepared to vaporize the draconic bodyguard - yet the restraints lashed tight against her frame, briefly causing Ganeden...

There was no immediate response to Aberon's speech. Perhaps she was simply floored - or some aspects of his former authority were too embedded to be resisted - yet, as he turned to leave, her "voice" called out anew. But, it was not for him. "Τ ε τ ρ α γ ρ ά μ μ α τ ο ν." Tetragrammaton. The...

As Aberon laughed, and casually wrote Geber off as a failure, Ganeden only listened in stony silence. Her features were impassive as ever, but when she finally spoke, it was in solemn tones. "...Is that truly the best course of action, Creator?" She asked. "Countless worlds have already fallen...

The two automatons dutifully pulled open the doors to the manor before Bisen Foris as the knights tramped indoors, closing them behind as they did so. They moved gracefully, and in such lockstep as to be almost mirror images of one another - yet they were so much more fluid than the...

As Aberon approached, and placed a hand on Ganeden's serene face, the features of the woman below were its polar opposite: A mask of absolute fury, as every taboo, every ritual was casually shattered, her voice rising in anger as she roared up at the man: "How DARE YOU-" Yet, she instantly...

"Uncle Early..." Within the depths of the Colony wreckage, Morta hurried as quickly as she could. Peals of energy licked across the "Pillar" as she imagined it, surging across its fault lines, snaking its way into its matter. One of the "Seven Pillars" that held up this world's defenses...

"...Oh, right." The off-brown Masouki lowered its hand, allowing the grey man to clamber on. He gave the assorted members of their little party a wolfish grin before scampering into the belly of the beast, causing its one remaining eye to light up. It spread its arms wide at the Goddess and...

"Don't have to tell me twice." Growled Eris as the Dino DAMON began its seismic implosion. By some miracle, she'd managed to survive - but she had no ability to face down the Dragon-like entity. Not like this, at least - XN-L would have to handle it. In the meantime, she cast about for her...

"Of course, of course m'lord!" Ze'ev, for his part, seemed irritatingly chipper this morning, with a smile on his face and a spring in his step. As Aberon spoke, he was still busily wolfing down a bowl of... well, it was some kind of Crescentian oatmeal-equivalent, but at that exact point in...

"Of course." Said the Queen in response to his question about a room. In truth there were quite a few unused rooms in the palace, she thought. It wouldn't take long to have one prepared where he could be... monitored. Though he seemed deflated, her guard was not yet completely down - after all...
