Landing

I David Cross laughed, shaking his head as he watched the computer monitor. "Imagine that! The first major success of our business is dropping its largest and most expensive asset into a hole and burying it. Good thing we didn't put that in the business plan!" Elaine Norman, the sole woman of the trio, joined with her two partners in laughing. She turned serious a millisecond later. "The regolith looks like it has the consistency of cat litter. Works for cats." "There's bound to be...

Building a Nest of Our Own12 Planetary Ping Pong

“All right,” Al said to the exploration party, “this should be interesting. There are multiple large heat sources near your designated landing area, so watch your step. You’re also bordering another massive planet, so it will likely affect your gravity. When you’re on the planet’s far side, you’ll be lighter, but when facing it, moving will be difficult. There’s dense vegetation too, so be cautious of anything lurking nearby. Since these are immense warm-blooded animals, though their thermal...

A New PastChapter 39 Spectacular Launches

“I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me, God,” Kelly said. We all clapped as she smiled at us. While there was no photography allowed in the...

A New PastChapter 61 Growing Up

“Dad, can we talk for a minute?” Ali asked as I settled into a lounger on the sunny deck of the Lumiere, a luxurious yacht I had chartered for at least the first part of our summer vacation. The fifty-meter floating palace had comfortable accommodations for twelve, though we were only counting on having eight to ten guests aboard, since at least one stateroom would be reserved for a security team traveling with us. I had planned on spending at least three weeks aboard in the Mediterranean,...

TimeChapter 46

The entire earth seemed to be watching these pictures, because they were shown live. First I had to get many commentators educated on what they were going to say without sounding like fools when future generations looked at the records. For the most part, I just wanted to minimize confusion and give the people the straight dope. This was the first spacecraft to leave earth and land on another body and the first to photograph the backside of the moon, never seen before. The world was...

Geeks In SpaceChapter 7 The Geometry of Ideas

For the first time after one of his episodes, Rob saw a doctor. The UNNESA flight controller who had been on duty when the call came in insisted on it. He spent three days in the hospital giving samples of pretty much every fluid and solid available. He endured electroencephalograms, CAT scans and MRIs. He talked to therapists and counselors, doctors and medical researchers until he couldn't talk anymore, and nobody could find a thing wrong with him. Not everything was textbook normal, but...

Birds of Prey Bisexual EditionChapter 7 HD 217107

“The findings of the probe confirm the claims of the aliens,” Campbell said, pacing in front of the table in the briefing room as a hologram of the system flickered above it. Jaeger was once again in attendance, along with Doctor Evans, some of the more senior personnel, and the Valbarans. The Captain was standing beside the engineer, his hands clasped behind his back as he examined the ghostly display. “There is a third planet in the HD-217107 system, between the orbits of the two gas...

Victoria Per ScientiamChapter 8

When I got to the ship the next morning I stood in shock looking at what changes had been made by the families the evening before. The fore bulkhead right at the entry hatchway had our ship’s crest painted on it as I had asked, and Sally, Ensign Williams’ concubine had done an absolutely wonderful job. That wasn’t the surprise, though. Opposite, on the aft bulkhead, were red lip prints like a whole bunch of women had gone to town kissing the ship. Underneath each one was the hand-painted...

TandraChapter 44

We were only three subjective days out, when we came to the first Samutz system. Dasul was a beautiful planet of the Sardis system. It was the only planet and was in the comfort zone, almost 160 million kilometres from the primary. The name was from the early Tandra explorers, and the Earth name of the system was only some alphanumerics. The beauty was not marred by any large military ships. A small transport arrived with either supplies for the Samutz on the planet, or to take fabricated...

SpaceChapter 31

I wanted her to see me as a man in uniform taking her. The sex and the visual aids I hoped would get her to adjust quicker to her new reality. At my unspoken command the ship started to climb once more and the cargo net became down. I climbed over the woman's body and was then able to put my cock into her mouth. She sucked a little and stopped. In her mind I said, "Suck my cock. You belong to me and I intend to use you." Connie sucked mechanically until I came in her mouth then I pulled...

Between The Soul And Soft Machine

The following story contains some mildly harsh language. It is otherwise wholly lacking in sexual situations, sadomasochistic bimbo-ism, theft of giant spaceship components, general delinquency, oral sex obsessed ex-presidents with linguistic issues, or old-fashioned rock 'n roll. Those bothered by the former or searching for any of the latter are advised to move on to the next story - these aren't the 'droids you're looking for. This story also contains one of my Patent...

Destiny group exited FTL above Celia's North pole within 0.2 lm (light-minutes) of their intended destination. They were in the process of completing their systems checks when Star said, "Bán and Dearg Task Groups are requesting a connection to all ships." With a smile Aoife said, "That is fine, set it up." "Aye, it will be a couple of minutes." A few moments later Cathan's and Christina's Clans appeared on all the bridge monitors and said, "Good morning. Welcome to Celia...

Victoria Per ScientiamChapter 17

Our mission plan changed a little bit from the last time, beyond the obvious required change of a different place for us to drop out of FTL. The logistics stores carried by the Silver Javelin would include a pack of ARMs, just in case we needed them, and six “gift boxes” that might entice the Sa’arm to pay a visit to our friendly minefield. Two of those gift boxes would hold the fake officer’s pistol that the crew had dreamed up, and the containers they were in were a little larger than the...

Felicity Ch 69

His name was Albert Ritter but few called him Al and his mother was the only one that called him Albert. The world called him Tex. He was The NASA hot shot astronaut but Nasa was no longer flying which royally pissed him off. He had just finished his training when the space shuttles were confined to museums. He was assigned to Edwards AFB and did flight testing on new and improved aircraft. He was assigned ‘the over the hump’ test flights, the ones after all knew the thing would fly and not...

Here there be monsters

Green light pierced through the darkness of space, a single pin prick of light surrounded by a million others in the vast emptiness of space. Two gas giants and a single large planetoid orbited the small young green star, their distance keeping an elliptical orbit from the star yet close enough that they appeared at risk of colliding if not for the fact that they were still millions of miles away from each other’s pull of gravity. The Echidna sector was a small neglected part of explored space,...

Independent CommandChapter 5 Month 80 Digging In

"Building the perfect beast" - Don Henley A couple of days after Tina's visit she gave me a call and opened with "I've gained almost a kilo already. I'm still sore in a few places and I need to wash my mouth out a couple hundred more times, but I'm back at work. Please let me know if I need to talk to Monique about that. It wasn't your fault and she shouldn't blame you." I growled "I'll send her with Hannah some time." Since Hannah was helping out with the PIO and Monique had...

Aggy Book 1Chapter 63

"Our choices are limited" began McCock over Tabes to his other Captains and the com was being piped throughout each ship. "We don't have enough bunkerage to be confident we would all reach Hebrides. We have enough between us for one to probably return to Mountserrat. So one – do we send one or two ships with everyone on board out to Hebrides, hoping we are not detected while transhipping bunker mass and crews. Two – send everyone on one ship to Mountserrat. Three - surrender to the...

vChapter 15

Helen, during her training in the USAF, had been taught history. She had found most of it a snoozer – but one fact that floated from the hazy depths of her brain was that, back in the day, naval officers would help to lead their troops onto enemy ships. But in the era where getting onto an enemy ship involved jumping from one deck to another, with a sword in one hand and a pistol in the other, that was easy. Any dumbass could jump. Modern marine protocols were nearly as three times more...

BethChapter 138

February 2, 2018 Dear Ms. Diary, At lunch, as we had for Meka’s birthday, I began passing out those little cone-shaped party hats, to which Lana’s eyes went wide and she squeaked, “Are we having a p-party ... for m-me?” “Yours is the only birthday today that I know.” I passed out 16 hats, the extras for Seamus, who had become regular at the tables, and Jess, who joined us for the third time this week. I had brought one other spare but did not need it. Liya, again, had coordinated with...

The Naked WarriorChapter 2

The funny thing about space – beyond the asphyxiation and eyeball exploding and radiation – was how it took everything totally logical and threw it on its head. Most of my life was spent picturing space battles as being either sea battles or air battles, just with a prettier backdrop and force fields. Nope! Nada! Wrong! Also, technically, so was the eyeball exploding thing. The internal pressure of a human body was nowhere near high enough to get even soft tissue to do more than bruise when...

Initium NovumChapter 10

Annabelle had sent Robert a message that they would need the system controllers for the cargo hauler soon after the new year. The team said most of the modules had been written and were being tested independently, however when they began to integrate the modules into a master controller they would crash, especially when the propulsion system software was added. It seemed that some modules consumed so much interaction with the master controller that the master would take other systems off...

Micro GatesPart 4

Four weeks after New Year’s, which I spent at the beach house, I began 2019 with a televised speech. I spoke from Cape Canaveral, with a backdrop of a live view of Earth and Mars hanging in space behind me. “Life is the most amazing thing in the universe. Many of you have by now seen the current terraforming plan posted on YouTube. The date set is real. The capabilities and plan are real. But all of it still depends on one factor, does Mars have native life? “We have a countdown, 11 years...

A New PastChapter 46 Down Under

The roar of the crowd washed over us as the U.S. Olympic team entered the stadium. Jeryl squeezed my hand as Jeremy patted my head enthusiastically while perched on my shoulders to have a better view of the opening ceremony. I had never experienced an Olympics in person in my first life, let alone imagined having my family with me in the luxury boxes a few seats down from the President. Our kids were awed by the pageantry of the ceremony. They had grown restless as the parade of nations...

A New PastChapter 55 Healing Wounds

“Paul?” Collin asked. My mind had wondered. “Sorry,” I mumbled. “What was that?” “I asked if you agreed with the analysis on the hardening rates,” Collin replied. We were going over the latest data from the test casting of the lunar building materials we had developed for use in-place on the lunar surface. The last mission -- before the on-orbit emergency had put a stop to using chemical landing rockets -- had provided more data on the setting process as well as the self-adhesion rates to...

Living a CAP Based PresentChapter 60 The First Jump

I stepped through the doorway. Ensign Munfree jumped to her feet and turned to look at me. “Captain,” she shouted. I nodded. “Helm, can you plot a course for system Gee One Dash Six Five Nine?” “Sure,” Lance Corporal Kelly said. He turned to look at the controls. “Captain?” Ensign Munfree asked. “I need an all ship intercom channel,” I said. My own words felt weighty on my tongue. “This announcement won’t be welcome.” Chaz sat down and turned to her controls. She seemed to move...

Living a CAP Based PresentChapter 61 Arrival at Gee One Dash Six Five Nine

Over thirty hours later I was once again sitting in the Captain’s chair as the AI rang the klaxon for General Quarters. Blaine, Chaz and Kelsey were sitting at their stations. I could see Chaz fidgeting as we approached the end of the jump. “Problems?” I asked Chaz. “It’s just that I’m still not sure how to do everything. Right now we’re about to emerge into this system. We know that there likely will be Sa’arm ships. I’m covering for our lack of a tracking officer, so I have to watch a...

Geeks In SpaceChapter 4 The Jovian Jungles are Missing

Rob may have taken ownership of the Pai Lung, but he didn't buy the shipyard at Nauru. That was owned by McKesson Aerospace, the company that had been created to build and operate it. Plans were in the works for an actual space dock, but at the moment the shipyard at Nauru was the only place in the world where his ship could get itself refitted and resupplied. They were renting the space for now, as part of the support contract that paid for the refit and resupply. Rob was sure he was...

Woolly Wilds 2Chapter 11

By the end of the journey, after nearly two months on board the Isaac Newton, everybody was starting to get excited; we were finally approaching our destination. Another few days and we'd be in-system - within the heliopause of the Soloat system: a few more days at slow sublight speeds to get into orbit, and then ten days or so in orbit. It had never occurred to me to ask why the system was called Solo, but a few days before we arrived, Siân told us, just in conversation, as we were at our...

Olga Anastasia To my muses – Werner H, Humilator, Brian S: I hope this pleases you. Olga. x 1 – MIA When an emergency call comes to the university and it’s summoning me to The Fortress, I sink straight into despair. It’s just as I’ve long feared.

Of course they do not tell me that over a public holo-screen. I’m pulled from a lecture and into the...

The Swarm

The year is 2245 AD. A breakthrough in space travel had allowed humanity to bend space, bridging light years worth of distance between two points to that of a few steps. With this new technology mankind was allowed to travel vast distances in the Milky Way galaxy. Inhabiting several dozen worlds hospitable to human life, the united nations of Earth had now expanded into the United Colonies of Man. To expand and explore in the vast glittering sea of space prospector ships were commissioned by...

Sappho Chapter 8

Chapter 8 Even with her dyed black hair, contacts, and Woolf style shorts and top, Barbara looked only superficially like Indira. Elevated boots gave her an extra few centimeters, but she was still several centimeters shy of the real thing. She walked by my side, while I studiously ignored her, pulling the cart with the case. "Debbie, you're going to have to do better than that," she snapped. "When we get to the shuttle I'll have to be a convincing wife. If I don't get on, do I have...

Apollo 19

The night before the scheduled launch of Apollo 19, Michael Partenza was against the wall of the shower screaming into the shower spray as her body vibrated and hummed and burned with sexual pleasure. Schtopaugh Strelnikov was supporting her with his stronger and more powerful upper body as he thrust into her over and over again. Michael turned her head to face Schtopaugh and almost growled, "Oh FUCK yes, here it comes, Fuck me, FUCK ME OH GOOOODDDDD YYYYEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH,...

Zero G

I'm sure I've been MORE nervous in my life, I just couldn't recall WHEN at the moment the countdown reached eight. I heard the ratcheting clank of the hoses separating from the external fuel tank of the shuttle, hoses which had just finished pumping in liquid oxygen to supply the oxidizer for the main engine burn. The main engines themselves were ignited a moment later, shuddering our compartment. The main engines would not actually be fired until launch of course but the shudder was the...

The Mercury Incident

The group gathered in the Tactical Operations Center of the Confederacy Naval Vessel (Battleship) Gorgon all looked young -- even Admiral Charteris, commander of the Confederacy Second Fleet (the First Fleet was the 'original' Confederacy Fleet -- which was a kind of honor guard for diplomatic functions, more than anything else -- and totally useless as a fighting force) -- who was over seventy if you went by his birth records. If you looked at their eyes, though, there was something in...

Collisions

The search for Invader ships took the Personalia to many stars in and around the local stellar cloud. Visiting each of these stars was a chore in itself, despite the use of the Personalia's FTL (Faster Than Light) subspace drive. The stars themselves were not the target; but the planets, asteroids and other bodies circling these stars were the main interest, for several distinct reasons. The first, and most apposite reason was the Invaders' "reason d'etre", their elected justification for...

The Anomaly Volume Two the Schemes of the Unknown UnknownChapter 4

Almond Grove - 3750 C.E. It was not without a little trepidation that Ellis followed the woman who'd greeted him when his private space ship docked at Almond Grove. Partly, this was because he'd always wanted to see for himself the private residence of the second wealthiest man in the Solar System and this was the reason he used to justify to himself the expense and trouble of travelling for very nearly a month from Venus to Earth orbit. The main reason, of course, was that a summons from...

Valkyrie Don t CryChapter 7

The problem with railguns, electromagnetic propulsion, is it’s too fast. Yes, you can accelerate a relatively small object to incredible speeds almost instantaneously, but that speed or acceleration has a price tag on it. One, traveling through Earth’s atmosphere the friction and heat would soon build up and burn up any large object. A space ship would simply just burn up. Two, to keep people alive would require a barrel at lest 500 to 1,000 miles long. Plus it has to point almost straight up...

The First CommandChapter 15 Basic Qualifications

We held two of the eight ships back from our initial 'overhaul'. All we did for Appleby Castle and Bere Castle was verify that the 18 acceleration couches worked properly, and then we used them to cycle everyone through a quick hands-on course on how to run the ships. We started with making sure that they were safe to use as is, then we did as much live testing as we could in Jupiter's shadow. We declared Jupiter's low orbital volume from the edge of the atmosphere out to half a million...

A New PastChapter 59 Shadows

“What do you need, Paul?” Jyl asked over the video link. Her hair was lighter than usual, and it looked like she had just come in from the beach at Learmonth. “No chit-chat or catching up?” I asked with what I hoped was a sorrowful look. Jyl laughed. “It’s working hours for you. It’s Saturday for me. I don’t think it’s a social call.” I sighed. “Okay, you know me too well. Can modern medicine explain why we have deja vu’s?” I asked. “Wow, you don’t ask simple questions, do you?” She...

Bob s Great AdventureChapter 61

Finally lunch was served; fresh fish filets and we would have lion stew tonight courtesy of Olnafot. After lunch I played with Angel, Grenna, and Bertron and read them a new story about Goldie Locks and the Three Bears. They thought it was very funny about the bears. They fell asleep before I got to where the bears come home. I asked Fred if he had any more news about the Trwennkleihjof’s arrival. With nothing else to do I went into the practice cave, shot a few rounds with some of the men,...

Malan MothersChapter 2

"I expect you are correct. So that if the story appeared in your paper, that would be acceptable to the authorities here?" "Unfortunately, not so, lady. You would still be bound by the agreement you signed, as long as you remain within their boundaries." "Even though the events happened in the USA?" "I would expect that to be the case, Mrs Reagan. Anywhere on Earth, you are liable to be facing these restrictions. Most governments have reciprocal agreements over many similar matters....

Chosen Frozen IIChapter 13 The Wreck of Hesperus

CSS Arthur C. Clarke and her escort entered the Hesperusat system some two days after departing Thule. The system looked quite different from two months ago during the First Battle of Hesperus. The encounter was called that because everyone from the Admiral to the lowest rating on the smallest corvette was expecting at least a second round, and sooner rather than later. Hopefully that would be followed by a third and even a fourth - "hopefully" because when the numbering of the battles...

Masi shen EvolutionChapter 13 Diplomacy and Suppression

"Perhaps we could ask for volunteers?" Michael asked, looking to Jon'a-ren. "Not necessary," Jon'a-ren responded. "When the first rumors were heard in the fleet, every ship's captain volunteered themselves and their crews. As I understand it, the crews themselves requested that their captains volunteer for them. Every vessel, every crew, and every captain, seek the honor of accompanying you to Earth. Each wishes to remain on station, in orbit, able to come to your assistance and to...

The Revolution Iniative Ch 1

The year was 2015, and thanks to a series of bad leaders the United States had pretty well ticked off every major country on the planet. China hated us, Russia had grown intolerant of us, hell even Canada and Mexico had closed their borders and were talking about opening them only if we unilaterally surrendered to them splitting the nation in half. We did still get along with the brits, Austrailia and New Zealand but that was it. Life was tolerable, the only person we had to worry about was...

Battle for the Known Unknown Ch 08

Chapter Eight Ecstasy – 3750 C.E. The flight from Godwin to the colony of Ecstasy in Neptune orbit marked the first time that Paul had ever left the comforts of his cylindrical world. And this first stage of his journey to Earth alone would take over three months. Although such a voyage was something he’d always dreamed of, it really wasn’t especially enjoyable. The lengthy and incapacitating process of the skeletal refit prescribed by his doctor confined him to his room for the first half of...

Sorkana's Rise, on Dragon Wings By: Malissa Madison She lay atop D'ven, her body shivering in the aftermath of ecstasy like she had never known before. There had only been two other experiences in her life that made her feel this good. The day she had Impressed Gayleth, and the day she had risen in her first mating flight. His hand came up, his fingers gently tracing the lines of her face. "As much as I would like to do this all day, we need to get around. B'nard is due back with...

A tale based in Alyssa S' Acteon world. Much thanks to her for creating it. Acteon Chemistry Calob Ng rolled his shoulders, still trying to come to grips with the densely packed musculature of his newly acquired body. Sir Wilfred's borrowed body. He felt big, powerful, intimidating. It was a new sense of self.

ASTROPRISON © 2014, 2017, 2020 By Anthony Durrant As I was watering my front lswn, I saw a small shuttlecraft drop down from the sky and touvh down on the grass nearby. Two people in black uniforms hurried toward me, then grabbed me by my arms and forced them back behind me. One of them said: "Cngratulations, Erik the Black! We've caught you at last: your days as a fugitive from the stars are now over. You will be taken to the Astroprison, where you will serve out your...

Too Many Girls

Prelude Mike looked out one of the viewing plates down at the Earth below. New Hilo orbited above the beautiful Hawaiian Islands. It was a way station for space travel. Airships, designed to travel through the dense atmosphere of Earth rose up from Hawaii and docked, transferred their cargo to the deep space ships which would travel to the Martian colonies or the mining companies in the Asteroid belt. Those great ships, not designed to enter the heavy atmosphere of Earth, would trade their...

Battlesphere An Interlude

The Battlesphere 'Thor' was in geosynchronous orbit around the planet Durbin. It was delivering the 6th infantry division, for extended deployment. Battalion Commander LTC Daniel C. Sharpton was getting ready to board the shuttle taking his company (HHC 1st Bn. 6th Inf. Div.) down to the surface and the disembarkation point. His Bn. Sergeant Major had assured him the men were all onboard. His XO had informed him that the rest of the Bn. was similarly ready for departure from the 'Thor'. He...

Copyright© 2004 - Shakes Peer2B "Planetfall, Captain!" Bill's voice came over the intercom, "And they're hailing us!" "Coming!" I closed my terminal, bookmarking my place in the log and made my way to the command deck. "Any sign of the CM?" I asked as I took my place in the command chair. "There are hundreds of artificial objects orbiting the planet, Captain," Bill replied, "but none of them matches the mass or size of the CM very closely, and we're not getting a...

Vacation on RehomeChapter 33

"First, I need to speak with Olu, to sort out the arrangements for his family group. Can you have him phone me from your phone? I will pay for the call." "That is acceptable, Winston. Next?" "Do you know if Olu or either of the twins have married? I need to calculate the total number of passengers: it affects the take-off weight. It will also determine how much luggage they can bring." "The last I heard of the family, there was no suggestion of marriage, or even engagement to marry....

A Perfect WorldChapter 8

The MSS Ingram drifted silently above the planet Earth, 650 kilometers above the cloud tops, completing one orbit every 93 minutes. The ultra-modern ship was 75 meters long with a beam of 15 meters. Its fusion engines were currently at idle, doing no more than providing power for the life support systems, the computers, and the temperature regulation system. The ship was constructed of radar absorbent materials that prevented even the smallest of returns from that antiquated detection system....

vChapter 5

When the elves had crossed the great ocean and come to the Sunset lands, they had found themselves almost immediately at home. The local spirits and gods and the like had a similar – if not identical – stance when it came to the great Tellings and while their stories did not mesh, they didn’t come into direct conflict. And so, elves who wished to find higher places in the Telling without needing to challenge the established Players – a dicey and dangerous proposition even in the best of times...

Amity 2 CoercionChapter 6 Space

David woke slowly. He reached out to find the other side of the bed empty. He frowned. Carol rarely got up before him, as the lady liked her sleep. A tear rolled down his cheek, as he remembered that Carol would be sleeping forever. They had grown close over the weeks they had been together, and while he didn’t love her, he had enjoyed her company, both in and out of bed. The silly bugger hadn’t put the safety harness on the chair on properly. When they had left in a hurry, he had grabbed...

vChapter 14

Lucas sat on the bridge of the Enterprise and frowned at the orbital chart. He was reminded, obscurely, of one of the many shitty 20th and 21st century spec-fic shows that Helen had crammed down his eyes during the long, slow, stately voyage to Arcadia. It felt like a thousand years before, like a lifetime ago. It was a time where magic was relegated to vidscreens, and where cheap effects that could clearly be seen on modern resolutions wobbled around and pranced to even cheaper, synth’d up...

ComrieChapter 63

It was several hours after the occurrence of Taiséalai's malfunction that Keriann said, "Dóchas, Iarracht is ready to lift to Mars orbit. All systems check." "Iarracht, cleared for departure to Mars orbit," said Tara adopting a more traditional phrasing. "May the Gods and Goddesses be with you." The Command Staffs on Dóchas, Phoenix and Eagle watched with some anxiety as Iarracht begin her departure sequence. Soon she lifted slowly off her cradle and then began accelerating...

Family LettersChapter 104

Dear Willow and Family, I've been told I must keep this note short so I shall endeavor to do so. I would say that my job has given me a proctologist's view of the exercise of concubinage as practiced in the diaspora. I know that we, Marissa and I, have worked hard at becoming a family. I know that whenever a sponsor is willing to approach me on the issue of failed compatibility I always tell them that the concubine is their family member now, and that while the idea of marriage may have...

An Cloch nChapter 55

It was near 11:00 on 34th day of Sevmonth when the shuttle carrying a member of each Command Staff approached Tara Ardchlár. Sarah guided the shuttle so that it flew slowly past the settlement giving them a comprehensive view of progress. In preparation for their visitors four large tents had been added to Central Square. They were next to each other and next to the western side of the large tent that sat in the center of the Square. The accommodations in this central tent included the...

Delta OriginalChapter 9 Jumping to Baal

Towards the middle of the week, they jumped to Baal. Baal was about the same size of Tychy and was a hot volcanic planet with a toxic atmosphere very similar in composition to Venus. The axial tilt was not as significant as Venuses being approximately one hundred and thirty-two degrees. This meant that it spun in the same direction as the other planets, unlike our Venus. It looked like a dirty red-brown and yellow ball from space, due to the high iron content and the volcanic ash in its...

Antelope FreewayChapter 50

Time: January 1, year 204,894 9:11 PM London Local Time (T plus 12 minutes) Jim was lying quietly on his mat, his eyes closed and pretending to be asleep. He suddenly noticed a slight lemon taste in his mouth and breathed a sigh of relief. It was Gary's signal that he was back in the area, and lemon was the code for full success. Profoundly happy that his son was almost free forever from the grips of the WFM, Jim settled down and tried to get some real sleep. Time: January 1, year 204,894...

It s My PartyChapter 21

The next morning. Time: Thursday, January 10, 2019 11:00 AM Mark finally looked up from his terminal as his two-hour lesson ended. He shivered and then smiled at Emily who was standing beside him with a hand on his shoulder. “Wow,” he whispered. “Yeah...” Mark frowned as he realized what time it was. “I’m surprised the group isn’t back yet.” He picked up his phone and was relieved when Jada answered. Mark asked her where she was. “Ah, sorry. I guess we should have called in....

A New PastChapter 60 Alison rsquo s Legacy

“Chrissy, are you disappointed?” the interviewer asked. “Disappointed? At what? I’ll be in the first dozen people to set foot on Mars and my team will be the one to establish a permanent base on the Martian surface. Why should I be disappointed? It makes perfect sense from a mission perspective to have the first team conduct surface surveys while we remain in orbit performing analysis of the possible locations. Once we select a suitable site, we’ll land and start the construction phase.” I...

A New PastChapter 65 We Have A Problem

“Paul, it’s Allen. We have a problem.” My blood chilled. The fact it was Allen calling and not a watch officer told me it was serious. “Talk to me,” I said as I turned away from Jer and headed toward a quiet corner of the gallery. “Mars-One performed it’s mid-flight turn over and cannot re-start engines. No immediate danger, but we’ve got a problem.” I tried to think through the failure modes of the engines on an Orion. “Connectivity checks are good?” I asked. It was the first...

Reginald s DisasterChapter 18

“The dear man doesn’t want to be seen paying the food bills, as it embarrasses him. I think he imagines that as the Queen doesn’t carry money or credit card for purchases, neither should he, as a Queen’s Counsel!” This got her a laugh, and Hubert Dangerfield made no comment at all when he heard of it. He didn’t view it as funny. On the day appointed, their busload arrived at the air base and were astonishingly waved through as soon as Reginald Robertson produced his I.D. The Personalia had...

HomebodiesChapter 18

The Alpha Zulu system, with its single G-class star and its two inhabited planets, was, by far, the most populated system in human space. Alpha Zulu Prime, the fourth rocky planet from the sun, was home to more than nine hundred million groundborn, more than a quarter of whom were concentrated in the four major metropolitan regions of Newcal, Zito, Faraway, and AZP Ground. Newcal and Zito were the first and second largest cities in human space respectively, while Faraway and AZP Ground were...

Warhammer 40 000 Take as PrizeChapter 5

Kar’Toba was, of course, welcomed aboard the bridge in the same way that a visiting god or the physical reincarnation of the Emperor, or a prize agent might be welcomed aboard. With bows and doffed caps and murmured snatches of High Gothic that may have been complimentary but tended to be so half-recalled that the officers in question may have been telling him about his finely shined shoes or the way that he looked like green vomitus. Kar’Toba took this all as his due, while Jon and Vynn...

FTL III The End of The GreysChapter 5 Preparations

Harden your heart, and resolve yourself to doing what is right. In so doing, you shall chart your course truly, and you will not detour from the path you need to take. Admiral Rainer Star Date 7.102 Sue Lin said, "Mr. President? We found all five planets. They are all in one system. The problem is that there are more than Grays in the system." Jim replied, "What? Who?" "Unable to tell at this point." "Crap!" "There is one other problem." "What is...

SpaceChapter 30

The Doc was a good choice but he was also prone to work with the authorities. A few weeks ago, I managed to get a communicator into his head and that of his wife. A few days later I phoned: "Hi Wally, how are you doing?" "Not bad. Are you chasing Irene around?" "That is none... How did you know?" "Mr Watson, you told me that you were shooting live rounds. If you are a human male you will want to shoot them where they belong." "Your right Wally. Now what can I do for...

GreeniesChapter 10A

During this period of time, while a huge armada of ships and marines were heading towards their planet, intent upon taking it back from them, the Martians went through several varieties of turmoil as the fact that they had really broken ties with WestHem and made themselves independent gradually sank into the collective consciousness. That they had disconnected themselves from their economic system was a major worry. WestHem owned all of the banks, all of the financial institutions, and...

GreeniesChapter 10B

July 20, 2146 Deep space, near the sun Mermaid had finished her deceleration burn several days before and was now drifting along in a solar orbit, just over sixteen million kilometers away from the bright yellow orb that gave life to the solar system, well inside the orbit of Mercury. Her orbit was east to west, timed to correspond with an intercept course with the approaching armada when it came around from the other side. By this point, nearly four weeks after leaving Triad and...

Arlene and JeffChapter 647

“Despite our AIs actually doing the flying, I want every pilot to have his or her hands on the controls at all times when we do this for real, and when we practice as well. Ann and I have put together a rough outline. Everything seems to work in the simulation, but we haven’t done it for real yet. There could very well be glaring errors that only show up when actually flying the patterns. Bottom line: be careful and think about what the next step is. Does the current process make sense with...

Arlene and JeffChapter 703

The Ship ... The First Officer hesitated. “Perhaps we should have brought a fire team with us, just in case.” Or I should have trusted the Miadax males more and hence given my bridge crew more than just the minimum of weapons training, Jeff thought. A second later, Jeff and the General passed a glance before Whitworth grinned. “Well, Colonel, it’s been a while since we’ve taken up arms together. Perhaps that day has come again. I think I can still remember which end of a pulse rifle to...

Interstellar Intergalactic Sex Drive

The quest for an interstellar drive has gone on since the 1940’s at least theoretically. An intergalactic drive was of course always assumed to be impossible. It was thought that even wormholes would, if even possible to use, only provide shortcuts within our own galaxy. Hyperspace, at least mathematically, has been proven to exist, but no has ever had any idea how to access it. Some people thought that achieving superluminal speed would do it and magically thrust you across the space...

Phoenix Pt 2 Ch 08

“If you look long enough, you can see it move!” Elaine said, thrilled at the newness of it all. She was broadcasting enough excitement to completely enthrall the twenty or thirty others that shared the observation deck with them. Currently, Béla and her roommate/sister Elaine were the only princesses on the observation deck. Only two princesses at a time were allowed there, as they tended to amplify and broadcast each other’s emotions to a degree that it overwhelmed any others...

Into the Unknowable Ch 03

As a woman outnumbered by men in the Intrepid’s senior staff, Second Officer Sheila Nkomo made a special effort to befriend her fellow female officers. She wasn’t in a position to get to know Captain Kerensky particularly well. This was partly a consequence of relative rank, but also because her captain was a lesbian. It wasn’t that Sheila held any prejudices against homosexuals, but she did feel nervous given that the captain was so obviously attracted to her. So the only woman with whom...

Fantasy & Sci-Fi

Round and Round

They all tell us about it and we say we believe them, but we don’t truly understand. They call it being a zombie. And it may take a week or so, until it happens but then you do truly understand. When you get here you’re just too busy and too excited and then you get your first glimpse, that’s it, you’re frozen, hence ‘zombie’. And you do believe you could look at it forever, but you have work to do and within the week you begin to notice it less and less. Then sometimes, and it happened with...

Super Boys Last Visit to the 30th Century

Some comic characters mentioned in my stories could be the property of these respective comic book publishers, Marvel, DC, or Image. If they are being used, this a work of fictional parody. Here is a story line I have worked up with help from my new friend Rafael in Brazil. We are going to be doing a large number of stories using comic book characters, somewhat along the line of the JLA stories I did with FFCSKRULL2 a few months ago. Watch for massive numbers of changes to...

Winner Take All

WINNER TAKES ALL By Way Zim. The Object; When the asteroid was first discovered by radio-astronomers, entering the solar system at an odd angle near to Jupiter orbit, not much was thought of it outside of the scientific community. It moved with slow deliberation for an object so massive, some eight miles long and three wide, passing by the gaseous giant near enough to create a momentary change of direction within that spinning colossal storm known as the Eye. But still, at...

The Best and the Brightest part IV

The Best and the Brightest Part IV By Maggie Finson There were two missing faces when we returned. Those remaining had expressions of determination mixed with trepidation but none of them appeared close to bolting. I felt a surge of pride when we left the conference room twenty minutes later and I saw most of the students who had been there waiting for our return. "Thank you all,"...

Fletcher s Odyssey

Martin Bernstein was having a bad day. And if that could be said for the court-appointed defense attorney, it was doubly true for his client, Steven Fletcher. Fletcher stood accused of the rapes of 51 women. He'd entered a plea of 'Not Guilty', and Bernstein had believed him, but to this point, the Prosecution had presented convincing evidence of the opposite. According to Police reports, the MO for each rape was disturbingly similar. DNA evidence from 27 of the crime scenes pointed...

Gerald Macon sat up on the edge of his bed and was immediately excited by the prospect of the day. Today was launch day. He had been training for this mission for two years. It would be the longest mission for a human in space. He quickly moved to the shower and began preparing for the coming day, it was...

Welcome to Saturn Beta

Dennis had the whole thing planned out, start to finish. That's what he told Tyler, the day before, when the two of them had met at Dennis' dingy, makeshift office in Miami. "The rocket leaves tomorrow morning," Dennis said. He leaned forward on his formica desk and pointed vaguely at Tyler. "And you're going to be on it. You blow this part, it's your fault. Not mine." "I'll be there," Tyler said, nodding furiously. Tyler would agree to anything at this point. Anything to get him out...
