"Rai-?" Sir Boucher barely had the chance to repeat the words, mystified, before the swordswoman bounded towards him. The man seemed so absolutely floored that even the lightning-fast Cytron control system could read his intent quick enough to fully prevent what happened next. Okuni's blade...

James and Merida's trek would take them through the narrowing corridors to the hangar under maintenance, the steel grate shifting aside under their combined effort. The air within was cold and stale, causing their breath to puff out in front of them in short, white clouds that were carried into...

"I am Sir Boucher, Knight-Errant of Artemis. My liege, Lord Ashford of the Moon Cradle, desired it so." The Raftclans placed its hands on the hilt of the blade, cocking its head slightly to the side as it spoke, letting one glowing green eye appraise its sister unit. It was bereft of any of the...

As Volfeed emerged, a warning siren trilled from the metallic monstrosity overhead, flecked with static. Red sirens gleamed into being as it reoriented itself, apparently intent on shredding the obstacle below into nothing more than fleshy ribbons. Romme's blast smashed into one of the drone's...

Cuddles tail bomb flew straight and true - the lead Opus unit banked to avoid the thrown projectile, only for the centipede-like organ to boomerang back around, its teeth latching onto the rear engines of the unit before detonating, the explosion swallowing not only its intended target, but -...

As Ana vanished from the battlefield, in pursuit of something more personally important, that left only the ship and Okuni, to observe the unfolding drama below. It wasn't long, however, before the distant light of the Guardian System's orbital strike struck home, pulverizing the mountaintop...

"...Right." Said Eliza, albeit with uncertainty tinting her voice. She stood up, and moved to the doorway... but paused, hand held up to her chest. Finally, she looked back at the other woman, her eyes catlike in the light. "Goodnight, Ana. Wake me up if anything happens, and..." The...

Mwwwrrrrrrrrrr... The droning noise that had been slowly growing in volume suddenly rose in pitch, the roar of plasma thrusters and scream of jet-turbines becoming clear as something swooped overhead, sending waves of heat cascading down on the two men. A strange, almost avian aircraft...

The two worked their way down through the musty service corridors - biting cold nipped at their heels, and what technicians they saw along the way were bedecked in insulating suits that seemed to keep them from the cold. Still - there were no more sign of the Knight Police, at least for the time...

"Not just emotion." The small scientist took a pad of paper from a nearby desk, flicking through several pages as she produced a pen. The redness in Ana's face was, perhaps mercifully, not noticed as Eliza fell deep into thought. This was after all, her profession - mysteries like this were...

December 25th Jedda, Saudi Arabia 7:15 AM DEI Main Campus "Look alive, Eliza!" "Nrgh." Ah, Christmas. Placed at the center of the Dimensional Energy Institute's Jedda campus, a mighty fir stood tall, decorated with gleaming baubles, tinsel, and quaint little ornaments in the shape of...

Eliza nodded as Ana placed a hand on her shoulder. Despite her previous meltdown, she seemed surprisingly together. At the very least, she thought - it was familiar territory. The two walked down the streets of Cape Town, the smaller woman leading the way. Her eyes darted back and forth as they...

Slipping through the massive hangar doors would have required only a small amount of effort - the scent of rust, dust, and oil wafted up as they pushed their way ahead, chunks of carbonized metal flaking away under their fingertips. What awaited them was a low, dim hallway full of ridged metal...

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-...
