Destination AzaharChapter 22 Refugees from the Front

Commander Kehoe called Corporal Miller into his office at company headquarters shortly after approving her request to delay her pregnancy leave for three months. Miller was surprised to see Lieutenant Clark in the office with Kehoe and began to worry that she had pushed the young ensign just a bit too far and was about to get an ass-chewing. "Miller," Kehoe spoke in a very professional, down-to-business tone. "I see that you've put in a request to accompany Second Platoon's cruise to...

The Anomaly Volume One The Battle for the Known UnknownChapter 8

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 the flight...

Destination AzaharChapter 29 Taking Charge

Colonel Dean Gotti was shaking his head as he looked over the strategy proposed by Commander McGregor. "From what I've read about encounters with Sa'arm units on the ground, we won't win even if we win. They'll set off some kind of planet-killing device." "After they have become established," McGregor admitted, "they'll take steps to prevent a disease from infecting other gestalts by attempting to cleanse the planet before being overrun. But we don't know how they react to...

Three Square MealsChapter 134 The fickle hand of fate

“Almost there,” Alyssa said, glancing up at the Sector Map. She leaned forward to tap an icon on John’s console and switched the holographic display to the local System Map for a clearer view. The Invictus raced towards the gravity well of a red dwarf star, where the Brimorians had deployed a temporary comms beacon. It was the last link in a communications chain that snaked across the Kintark Empire to the Enclave border, allowing the armada to keep in contact with Deep Lord Athgiloi. John...

Return to KrellChapter 3 Field Work

The Courser emerged from superlight like a whale breaching the surface of the ocean, a spray of colorful gases expanding in its wake like a miniature nebula as it tore a hole back into reality. The long, slim ship drifted for a moment, inertia carrying it along as it tumbled slowly. After a brief delay its engines flared to life, thrusters spaced along its sleek hull righting it with bursts of blue flame as the flight computer took control. Lena opened her eyes and blinked away stinging...

TJ MorgChapter 88

"Sundowner" retrieved her parasites and returned to the South Atlantic area where she translated into an area absent of any return on FTL active. Clare had Morg report in to the Southamcon Orbital Regional Control and as "Sundowner" wended her above the mid Atlantic Ridge to the equatorial region where the scouts were retrieved, she was handed over to the Midamcon Region who gave the warning that an emergency NOTAM was in force covering the Norlant regions. All orbital and interplanetary...

Children of the LightChapter 2 Knowledge is Thought

Because I was sitting in as the Head Librarian at the Great Library this month, Ginny, Andy, Serenity and I were spending the month at the Montecristo station. Andy loved the beach, but for Ginny and I, being at Montecristo always reminded us of our honeymoon. Andy and I were on the plateau behind the cliff top above the Montecristo station using the debris-strewn expanse to expand and strengthen his telekinetic gift when Eru's thought came in. "Do you want to go meet Uncle Eru at the...

Ascension of the Alpha MaleChapter 7

The next morning, after Louisa had gone to work, Dale took a good look at the house his Uncle had built. The structure was situated on a largely flat top of a mesa. The flat top mountain raised the house several hundred feet above most of the nearby land and offered a spectacular view. The main part of the house was a two-story octagon, the attached bedroom wing was one story, and the garage attached on the opposite side was also one story. The master bedroom was at the very end of the...

Pax MultiChapter 10

“You absolute bastard!” Lou snarled, stepping forward – but a pair of Federal marines in power armor were there to grab him and slam him back down into a chair. Their metal gauntlets were shockingly gentle, considering their enhanced strength, but Lou still felt terribly impotent in their grip. His hands tightened into fists and he glared at Admiral Bosch, who shook his head slowly, looking sad. “That is the problem with you Neopolitans. You’re so sentimental. Embracing tradition for...

Masi shen EvolutionChapter 24 Blessed are the Children

The children stared out of the view ports, the younger ones holding tightly to their mothers' necks and arms, goggle-eyed at the sight of the cloud-shrouded planet rotating beneath them. Rowena, the six-year-old, clung most tightly to her mother's neck but she giggled almost uncontrollably while she watched the planet covered with patterns of clouds, and the sunlight reflecting from the world's oceans. "Pretty! So pretty!" she kept exclaiming and pointing down, then ducking her head...

TJ MorgChapter 52

As the DDs manoeuvred into line abreast approaching the moon, the boats in order were "Vance" (Commodore), "Victoria" (Gort 2i/c), "Vector" (Indira), "Washton" (Denholt) and "Warburton" (Kowalski). (The only difference between the Vs and the Ws was that the W.A.s had an additional energy mount a side; the later W.I.s and W.E.s had additional mounts and tubes.) On the bridge of "Washton", TJ was on weapons and Morg was on Nav because Morg was the better on calculations. The...

S S NerdChapter 20

That Saturday after breakfast, all of the families that made up my new household began moving into our new home. All of the kids had their own room plus they had a common area with a TV and couches similar to a day room so they could get together to hash out things. Each of the women loved the idea of their own private closet and bathroom area. Similar to Chuck's house, each woman's area had a small bed so they could nap when they needed some alone time. Cindy was funny as she didn't...

The Journey

Staring out over the wastes, Val wondered what had possessed him. Sand, dust, and more sand, that’s what awaited him. He’d never been this far from the oasis, and knew that any water was days away…unless he turned back. Others had done so. It would only be a year till he had the chance to go again. Only a year. A year of sideways glances, and whispered jokes. After his strong words, his boasts, he could not go back. No, postponement was not an option. He would not learn anymore to prepare him...

Light of Hellfire Chapter 13 FINAL

Chapter 13 Baltoh flew through the fiery galaxy of Tenebrous’ personal domain with enough power streaming from his sword to shatter a planet. Spinning like a top, he delivered a flurry of slashes to Tenebrous, but the Demon King blocked them all with his claymore of Hellfire. As Baltoh was about to deliver his hundredth attack in the second, he suddenly disappeared, teleporting and reappearing behind Tenebrous. Before his foe could react, Baltoh kicked him the ribs with...

Pool time part one

That was four years ago. On this particular night, they were sitting on the sofa discussing their newest encounter with a couple named Rex and Julie, who live about an hour from them. They had already met them for pizza and found they were not only exciting to talk to but the chemistry between them made them both want to go to the next step and see how hot the sex could be. Kandy looked into John’s eyes with a sad expression on her face and confessed, “I hope this couple is not like the...

New Beginnings Pt 1 Ch 9

‘How are you doing, Baby,’ Béla called out to her daughter. ‘Are you holding up all right?’ ‘Fine, Mom,’ Lisa, a hundred miles below, replied. Lisa’s wings were extended fully and although she was several miles up and above the nuclear explosions she was creating, she reveled in the heat and the massive energy of each blast that seared her seemingly fragile body as the air boiled and churned around her. The amount of damage she’d done below wasn’t readily visible because of the...

Anubis Reborn As to ‘the Great Council which is at the judging of the dead’: they are Thoth, Osiris, Anubis, and Isdes. -Egyptian Book of the Dead Squeezing the ice-blue gel onto his fingertips, Brian looked into the mirror as he spread the gel between his hands. Running fingers through his blonde streaked russet hair in a rapid, erratic motion, he sculpted the short cropped locks into the slight spike that he normally wore. A smile crossed his lips as he ran his hand under the...

Phoenix Pt 2 Ch 03

'Go up, Child,' she heard him say in her mind. Béla looked down at herself with wonder. She was naked. She was floating. She was blue! She held an arm in front of her face and wiggled her fingers, studying them carefully. Smiling giddily, she tried to blow on her fingers to see how it felt. She suddenly realized that her lungs were full of water! 'I’m drowning!' she screamed in her mind. In a panic, she thrust her arms downward, frantically kicking and thrashing for the...

Into the Unknowable Ch 01

The Anomaly – 3755 C.E. What could be seen looked very much like a lion. It was a lion, however, whose tail was alive in a way a lion’s tail should never be. Instead of gathering in a tassel, the tail ended with the head and body of a snake that hissed and curled around itself. It was a lion moreover that had the head of a goat arising absurdly from the middle of its back beyond the mane and above the lion’s shoulders. The apparition roared. It hissed. It bleated. And then it vanished. The...

Angel of Destruction part 2

She raised her eyes to his. Immediately, her pupils dilated more, until the black nearly obliterated the icy blue. Her nostrils flared, and a soft sigh escaped her lips. The tension in her legs abated, and she actually leaned back a little more, and widened them Yes. “Touch yourself,” he hissed. “I want to see you pleasure yourself.” Another breathy whimper passed through her plump lips, as her fingers dipped into her wet slit. Her back arched, and her eyes closed to glittering slits. Her feet...

Second Coming 1 Easy as ABC

Second Coming #1: Easy as ABC By Valerie Hope They'd been on the move for days - nights had blurred into dawns, dawns into unbearable noons with heat which melted the cracked asphalt of the streets of what was once a thriving, modern metropolis. Out of the corners of their eyes, the tired soldiers could almost see the people, scurrying to and from their jobs, their entertainments and their errands, oblivious to the overhanging destruction which would take all their hopes and...

Over the past two days his facility had tracked an object just beyond the orbit of Neptune. Normally it would've been...

Author's notes: The day I heard of Genni's passing. Nothing could have prepared me for the morning I logged onto my computer and saw the note from Genni's spouse informing me that she had passed away. I was in total shock. My response was to reply back and tell him that I didn't find this funny. He wrote back later to tell me it was no joke. I lost it. It was a Saturday, so I went to my office where I could be alone. There I yelled, screamed, cried, and finally sat at my desk...

Lust in Space

A cold wind blew across the plains, and xeno-botanist Shirelle Parsons pulled her jacket tighter around her. She was on an expedition to find a unique plant, as she hunted for what was called the Gorson plant. Now that mankind was making his way out into the cosmos, the closest star systems to Earth were being investigated, and her science vessel, the S.V. Einstein, had been assigned the task of investigating the star called Epsilon Eridani, at a distance of 10.5 light years, it is the...

The concept of a space elevator had been known for well over a thousand years - and the proof was just a few kilometers away, a narrow structure...

Apollo 18

Michael Partenza was not as a rule, a cynic. This did not alter the fact that even as he ate the customary pre launch breakfast of steak and eggs, he was mightily suspicious of this mission. He was the mission commander for the flight code named Apollo 18. That would have been fine, if it were not for the fact that he did not know what the true mission was. That information was classified. The man who held the orders was the secretly trained and rather shifty mission specialist,...

The Adult Baby Diaper School ~~ Epilogue and Ancillary Information So, our story has come to an end, I think the author did a decent job in telling it seeing how she too is permanently regressed to a little girl. The author, pansy Gronski, (as far as I know) had no previous writing experience, and she even was a student here at the school a while back. Her and her Master, Al John now live off-world, however.

Author's note: This is my first attempt at this genre influenced by works of fantasy movies, novels, anime and games. So, I thought of just giving it a try. When I was writing or reading some other authors works (Lissa and Lheriss!), I realized that the language for this genre is a little different. It's a challenge. I just hope I didn't screw up too badly. Please let me know if you like it or where I can improve. Thank you! For the Good of the Realm In the city of Heimanor, a...

Vella almost hated to wake her.Almost.Vella slammed the large trophy on an empty spot of wood, making certain to create as much of a bang as she could.Sarah's head shot up almost...

Bad Seed CH 3

So far, she had managed to increase her power, though her energy use was far too high. She was missing something, though for the life of her she couldn't think of what. Unfortunately, the mention of her brother's name, still had her anger seething inside. Thomas Tygoron, she would most definitely make whomever was using his name pay. Unlike the Eloagones she had slowly eradicated, the bastard that dared to use Thomas name, would suffer far greater. "Trigon, set to next set of training...

"She packed my bags last night pre-flight." "Zero hour nine AM." "And I'm gonna be high ai ai ... As a kite by then," I screamed at the top of my lungs. The laughter in the small space came from the other six members of my crew. "Holy shit, Commander. Remind me never to invite you to go karaoke singing with me," exclaimed Captain Martin, who occupied the command seat to my right. "Remy, you cut me to the quick," I said dramatically. However, deep down, inside my mission had...

The Sole Survivor

“See? All you have to do is push these two buttons at the same time, and it will deploy.” Oscar pointed at a pair of buttons four centimeters apart on the controller device in my gloved hand. A wire ran from it to a connection point inside one of my suit’s arm pockets. “I don’t take it off first?” I looked up at him through my open helmet. “How does it wrap around me?” “The shell is a memory shape composite. Once it starts to unfold, it snaps everything into place. You need to curl up as...

I m Not From Around Here

I've been bushwhacked, mind-wiped, sabotaged, driven underground and damned near murdered. My race has been wiped out and my goddamned AI has been subverted. I'm pissed and about to chew steel and spit quarters. I'm a belligerent alien son-of-a-bitch and I'm looking for a fight. It all happened like this. There I was, cruising along at just a bit over light speed, staying closely linked with the local metric so nothing weird could zing me off to the center of nowhere. Scouting new super-C...

Not What I Expected

I was one of the first to be accepted to the new space program. I was quite old at the time, well into my eighties, but that’s what they were looking for. The long-sleep process tended to regress the body. I was tasked with surveying 51 Pegasai and Alderaman. If the ship held out, I was to pass close by HD154345, Cappella, U 47 Majoris and Procyon on my way back home. I was surprised to find that there was no radio chatter present when I approached the Oort cloud. I couldn’t detect even the...

Alternative

Cooling metal pinged as consciousness slowly returned. Struggling to sit up, Latimer felt his body bump against something in the blackness. Spinning, he struck a bulkhead. Weightless? Groggily, his mind fought with the idea. Why was he weightless? What happened to ship's gravity? Lifeboat? He reached out to steady himself, wincing from the sudden pain in his left shoulder. Instrument lights from the control panel in the distance glowed blue-green-red, as he realized that he could only see...

An Essay on Tides

Foreward I started writing ‘Jason’s Tale’ (1) in 2015 or -16, soon after I ran across the “Damsels in Distress” (2) shared story-universe. The originator of the series, Lazlo Zalezac, says the planet Chaos has no moon. Several authors have followed that. Several other authors say, yes it does, but they are all heretics who should be stoned in the village square. While ‘Jason’ was getting proofread, Old Man With a Pen published a story ‘Stuck on Chaos’ that mentions two moons! Who cares? Well,...

Cara and Roy had left their seats for a ight meal in the main lounge. Partner insisted to be there as well. While the huge black animal never wanted for any sort of food, it was happily consuming the leftovers and wrappers Roy tossed its way.

Varna The Grojan War Book TwoChapter 9 Halcyon

The Slexi Moon orbited a barren planet deep in the Scorpious Sector. They had been on the run now for three months and had at times come close to being captured. Varna sat at the Navigation console moving randomly through the database. She was alone, attempting to forget the pull the casket in the hold had on her. When she was occupied or asleep she forgot about it, but when she had time on her hands, time to think the emotion bubbled to the surface. She hated it because it was how Sisanna...

Collision Course and AfterChapter 2

Orbit had been achieved and they were moving into position to engage the main engines for the burn to head towards the moon. Although Jessica had received a shot against 'drop sickness' she was still looking a little pale. General Cavendish, or Bob, as he wished to be known by, was doing his best to take her mind away from her stomach when he received a call. "3 Star 1 this is ground control, over." A voice said over the radio. "That will be me, Steve. I am 3 Star 1." Bob said...

DALBRA Ninohfiv, the guarantor of Kermac protection and guardianship to the Dolbarian society stepped out on the balcony of his residential tower overlooking the sprawling capital city of the numerous and industrious Dolbarians. Those perpetual nervous and laughable weak mammalians had the great fortune to be of interest and use to the Kermac. Ninohfiv longed for a real Kermac world, and despised these rodents. They were hairy and small; their technology rudimentary at best and their...

Aliens and CowboysThe Bastard

Mark, Maren and Gyges had left so suddenly, which had them worried, but they were also eager to participate in catching the bastard. Now that everyone had wrist devices, they had begun using them more, but they didn’t want to contact them via their wrist devices, just in case they ended up distracting or compromising them somehow. Angela informed them that there was a shuttle at the palace and that she could pilot it, if they wanted to go out there? The group agreed and walked off through...

Origins of the Personalia

Personalia: their origins and development [The following paper, ( amended from a talk given to the Rehome Historical Society, which later appeared in the "Journal of the Rehome Historical Society", issue no. 73), is a brief historical review by Robert Kempe, junior, of The Personalia from their ancient origin to their present interactions with the human race.] Author: Robert Kempe, eldest son of Governor Bob Kempe and his first wife Diane Enloe. Background of the author: My father has...

Building a Nest of Our Own20 Origins Endings and Spirit Gods

“Lamar ground control; this is Captain Al of the Peaceful Avenger, checking in after our long absence.” “It’s wonderful hearing your voice again,” a Lezmonom he’d never gotten to know well said. “We anticipated you sooner after Triznor returned a few months ago, but guessed you were up to something again.” Al chuckled, familiar with his well-deserved reputation. “Not this time, Trill. We visited the Irrq and Plssam homeworlds, letting their new Intuits guide their ships back. They weren’t...

Memories

The Personalia noticed that they were becoming uncomfortable. They put this down to Governor Bob Kempe of the planet Rehome, and his enthusiastic support of their race. He kept telling everyone he met how kind and helpful the Personalia were. He made them out to be the ideal race to be partnered with - friends to be admired and praised; a defence force without parallel; a source of technical and financial wizardry; the perfect complement to human ingenuity and pushiness. That upsetting...

An Cloch nChapter 5

It was after breakfast when Sarah’s Clan entered the Dóchas Communications department. On seeing them Chloe said, “I was just going to contact you all.” “Shannon told us earlier that Grand View TV and newspapers were asking for an interview regarding the IC engagement,” replied Sarah. “Dog-gone, I was hoping to surprise you,” she replied with a big smile. “To answer your question, yes they have. However we haven’t made any commitments. Are you interested in doing it?” “We think we should....

vChapter 12

The undead marching down the winding road that cut through the reclamation zone glowed like purple torches to Cinder – visible clearly to her dark adapted, magic sensitive eyes. She leaned against the small, wooden doorframe of the cottage and heard Markova cursing under her breath and the labored breathing of Kaleb. That sound, that sound of raspy, crinkling breaths, were like knives, digging into her spine. Her whole life, Cinder had been dogged by the story of the backstabbing, sneaky...

Mary Celeste

Boring. Boring was good. Excitement? No thank you. Excitement could get people killed. Boring meant returning to base safely after completing the mission. Excitement was for heroes, dead heroes. Take this current system; boring as hell. So boring that it didn't even have a name, just a catalogue reference: Wa37. Three gas giants, two smallish and one very large. Four rocky inner planets. One with water and life, even mildly exciting if you fancied talking to trees or centipedes. You want...

Aliens and CowboysThe Alliance

The trip back to Atlanterra seemed to take less and less time each trip they made, Cricket’s updates to the star charts really were paying off! An unexpected side effect of the sensor and communication beacons. Whenever they stopped to communicate, there were messages from either Annabelle or Liyana about the wedding. They created the invite list, which included Samira, Angela and Kaleb from Atlanterra, and Annabelle invited two friends, Tracy and Lindsey from school, who she also asked to...

ComrieChapter 54

It was approaching dinner time on Eagle when Siobhan's, Maureen's and Sarah's Clans finished their tour. That morning they had toured Phoenix, and the afternoon before had done the same thing on Dóchas. Maureen said, "Let's use the conference room off the bridge. Are you all going to eat dinner with us?" "Sure," replied everyone. "We've informally talked a lot about our plans once we were all operational," said Sarah as they were getting their snack in the conference room....

Aliens and CowboysMaaku

Captain Kôté had said the Agonoid shields were the biggest problems, and admittedly their own shields were the biggest defensive and offensive advantage they had, well that and their cloaking. Cricket said there was no evidence to suggest that the Agonoids had cloaking capability. Mark asked, “So knowing what we know about our shields, how do you defeat ships with shields?“ Cricket said, “There is a few ways around our shields, one is to bombard them with enough weaponry that the shield...

A Better World IIChapter 29 The attack

Tiger and Squeaker were on the tour with Cynthia and me when it happened. There was a station alert and an alarm. Fritz was next on board and soon the rest of the squadron was on board and at their stations. Then I remembered Tiger and Squeaker in the galley. We were in launch mode. In fact, we were in the last ten minutes of count-down to launch. I notified Fritz of our guests. He said, "They were part of the Graton Squadron before. They are now a part of it again. We do not have time or...

Imperium Birth Of a DynastyChapter 2

Samael had a meeting scheduled with a woman named Vanessa Rovencroft in a week’s time. She all but begged him not to do anything impulsive and wait until they had their meeting. So he did. He promised and waited patiently. On the outside at least. Inside he was a nervous wreck. The expectations he had from himself were high. Samael made sure he was well prepared. Reading and studying anything. A little excessive. Finally, his father made him stop and take a step back. Breathe and focus....

EvacuatedChapter 3

The evacuation was happening in earnest, and the street where Lisa and Sean lived became silent and empty, as the residents assembled their pods – under Sean and Mike’s guidance, and took their places in the schedule. The only house besides theirs which was not now empty, was the one just over the road. Mr and Mrs Evans had been married for sixty years, had lived in that house for more than forty years. And they had no wish to leave it. They had said their farewells to their children and...

Planetrise and MoonfallChapter 5

The Treasury Year 20 R (Republic, Imperial date 7961 E) Mylon took the penultimate wormhole leap into the orbital path of the inner gas giant and the alarms of imminent collision which had been going off solidly for the last twenty terran-hours suddenly stop and we are eerily silent. According to the radar we have arrived in an area of space almost at the heart of this triple-sun-system with no debris, none at all. Which is eerie. ‘What’s happening?’ Kelvin is the first of the crew to ask,...

The Rescue of HMS BeverlyChapter 21 The Arrival at Jewel

Finally, the day that we arrived on Jewel came to pass. Jewel was an absolutely stunning planet. The tenth-tier ladies and I were invited to watch the approach to Jewel from the observation deck. We approached Jewel on the same basic course that the original settlers approached on. The planet has an atmosphere almost identical to Earth’s and other than the differences in land masses you could not tell the differences. One could easily imagine how the initial settlers would have felt when...

The Valley Clan Saga Part 1Chapter 7 A New Job and Departure

It seemed like it took forever to fill the ship. Finally, the day came when the Captain announced that we would be leaving orbit at 2200 ship time. I decided to let the children stay up late that night and for the grownups I declared the night an all-orifices-on bed orgy. We had just finished a long week with training and my new temporary job. Yup, I had the ship Civil Service (CS) job. I was the senior sponsor on board and since all the officers on the ship had jobs I was elected. There...

Island MineChapter 12

Freehold There was a small crowd waiting at the airfield when the Rapid X landed. Waylon taxied right to the reception building and brought the aircraft to a halt. Arman was ready to help with the shutdown checklist, but Waylon sent him back to help their passengers deplane. Moments later the cabin door was opened and Waylon could hear the stairs being extended. Through the cockpit window, he could see the family matriarch rushing toward the aircraft followed by the rest of the family. "Am...

Zak s FoundationChapter 5

Damon and Kagome wondered if they'd ever feel clean again. The air aboard ship, with six Despicable in close proximity, was like being trapped in a locker room full of jocks on a hot day after a fierce game, with no water to run the showers or flush the toilets, and someone had hidden a bag of used maxi pads and an open jug of milk somewhere. How the two humans had managed to avoid detection, Damon hadn't a clue. On the planet, they found themselves in a place that reminded Damon's lungs...

To Walk the ConstellationsChapter 14

GOODBYES AND GOODLUCKS We didn’t go to the spaceport. Instead, we circled around the pyramid that was the former Emperor’s home and settled down next to the sleek, angular corvette that had been my prison for subjective days. As the bulky, beetle looking transport settled to the ground, Mal glanced my way from the piloting rig. “Think we can steal that? It’s closer.” I mentally kicked myself for ten kinds of idiot – then heard a snarl from Techne. “That thing, if it has a spindrive,...

Arlene and JeffChapter 220

They were high up and soon over the ocean, having left the continent behind. They passed the terminator and continued into night, still headed west, the myriad lights of the cities twinkling as the Earth seemed to slowly spin below. But before the view could become boring – if it ever could -- the horizon seemed to shift downward on the big screen as the Ship gradually pointed her nose away from the planet, the full moon drifting down toward the center of the viewscreen. There was a...

Reginald s ChildrenChapter 5

That dismayed her. How the hell were they supposed to find out the combination for the safe? Presumably that information died with the owner in his car crash. It was time to bring in Reg to see this, so she trekked back upstairs to hearing range. “Reg!” she called loudly. “Are you available for a quick discussion?” There was a silence, then Prudence called, “He is in the garden again. I’ll fetch him.” Frances waited until Reg came to her, still puffing a little from jogging back to the...

Time Scope Part 2Chapter 15 Revising Mary rsquo s Plan

“Alicia, our Time Scope ... err, sorry, I really need to start calling Mary by her name. Anyway, Mary told me that the people in orbit want to meet with the representatives of our planet. It will be a meeting between our representatives and their representatives, and it will be held here on Earth. “Mary said that they will announce their presence to the world telling everyone that they want to negotiate an Alliance Agreement between their Empire and the people of Earth. They will contact the...

Living a CAP Based PresentChapter 45 Facing a Major Test

I had announced that the crew needed to show up at ten hundred hours. As was my usual pattern I walked into the bridge simulator thirty minutes before then. For once I was alone, as all of my ladies were still sleeping. The orgy that Lenore had demanded had run far past midnight. I was still a bit sleepy, but the content smiles on my slumbering concubines warmed my heart as I took my seat and powered up the displays. The displays were flickering into life when the doors opened up behind me....

Chosen Frozen IIChapter 22 Sphere of Influence

Confederacy Navy Major Matt Schlemmer burst from his ready room onto the bridge of his charge, CSS Barnegat, hull number LFR-003. The meeting he'd just had with Commodore Swanson and that Payne fellow had been eye-opening, and a little scary. He'd been told what his ship's weapons could accomplish if handled in a certain way. He wasn't sure he wanted to handle his vessel's weapons in that certain way at all. He had one other concern in addition to those planted there from this meeting...

Chosen Frozen IIChapter 23 Target Random

As CSS Pendennis Castle crawled away to find succour at the closest outpost, a message arrived from CSS Morocco, captain to captain. "Read it," Captain Wygant ordered, hiding her concern. CSS Morocco was commanded by her brother - she desperately hoped nothing was wrong, as she was in no position to assist. "It reads, 'From Captain, CSS Morocco, to Captain, CSS Pendennis Castle. Just because you have a hole in your bottom, don't think you're a flowerpot.' Message ends." As her...

Star Wars The Tie FighterChapter 3 From the Badlands to the Death Star

GUSTAV had been in orbit about Resead for three days. Our mission during this time was to fly patrols in the surrounding system to guard against any further Rebel attacks, while the stormtroopers and other ground personnel solidified Imperial control of the planet. The badly damaged orbiting platform was also undergoing repairs. In addition to the patrols, I used the time for training. Our TIE squadrons and those of our sister frigate SHAMUS, which had been badly damaged in the attack on...

Star Wars The Tie FighterChapter 5 A Dirty Little War

I suddenly had trouble breathing and my vision fogged up as waves of powerfully strong emotions crashed over me. Through the tears welling up in my eyes I reread the message several times to make sure that it was real. J'Una alive? Could it really be? Where the fuck was Tatooine anyway? I was so overcome that I became somewhat giddy and I think I even jumped up and down a little. Not what you'd expect from a veteran Imperial TIE fighter pilot, but there it is. I must have made more noise...

The WolvesChapter 72

Menseio Station, orbiting Veria Menseio Station 14:56 Ship Time September 13, 2019 It had been the longest meeting yet, running for the better part of seven hours in its totality. There were also a lot of people present as well, far more than I thought there would be. Some only stayed for a short time as they gave a briefing or update, but a lot of people were there for the duration. By far the longest of the updates were the goings on in what was officially being called Draconic...

The WolvesChapter 73

Menseio Station, orbiting Veria Jonuth Kidravia’s Ship - Abi 15:21 Ship Time September 13, 2019 I took a moment to grab a snack from the galley and then headed to my room, eating as I went. By the time I arrived, the only thing remaining was a small piece of quillbeast, which was tossed in the air. There was an almost instantaneous popping sound and the piece of meat disappeared into Vixa’s mouth. It was a lazy day for her, content to just sleep the day away rather than play with the...

People of the TigerPart 15

She was waiting carefully on a narrow path through the swamp, one hundred feet from the edge of the forest patch, when her screen quietly beeped. It was Ali's text message, saying only; 'Three min.' Soon she saw the dark outline of the flyer against the night sky as it seemed to glide to a stop in mid-air, then she saw the harness descending toward her. It stopped in front of her, swaying slowly in the downdraft, and she slipped it on, buckled it, and clipped the safety line to her knife...

HomebodiesChapter 15

“Ox, Whoever damn it, you can’t win this battle!” cried Sleaze, captain of the Glock, twenty seconds after blasting the side of the Magnum with laser energy. The shot had done no damage, having been absorbed by the shield, but there were plenty more shots where that one had come from. “No,” Ox admitted. “I certainly cannot, particularly since we will not be returning fire or making any evasive maneuvers.” “Don’t make me destroy your ship!” Sleaze’s voice was nearly pleading now. “I’m not...
