32 (DSV Nautica) Twilight Falling
Nothing as going right. Nothing could go right out here. The damage was severe, they needed a full drive recalibration, and on top of it, the resonance wouldn't reestablish itself for another 5 standard days. Just perfect. The Thanatos was in even...
31 (DSV Nautica) Cerebri
The Architect stood on the barren landscape of Celebri, New Ayr's lone moon. He was under pressure now. He was always under pressure of course, but this was different. He had to build a warship unlike any the universe had yet to see, or at least that...
30 (DSV Nautica) War
The Curator and The Architect stood in the matriarch's chamber, silently mulling over what they had been told. It wasn't going to be easy. They stole a glance at each other, reluctant to do as they were told."I never said it would be easy. It's really...
29 (DSV Nautica) Three days
Three days later...Lieutenant Chrys sat at his station, bored out of his mind. A tiny stellar outpost on the edge of the wild lands didn't get that much action, despite the way the media portrayed this place. It you couldn't get more bored with a...
27 (DSV Nautica) Fallen Angel
Aki stared at the ceiling, trying to make sense of it all. This was just too much for her. She felt so tired. So worn out as if she had just tried to singlehandedly move a mountain with her will. May'ael restrained her briefly, easing off as it became...

25 (DSV Nautica) Deep Shadows

23 (DSV Nautica) Wrecked
The Erebus groaned around them. The will conduits were under huge stress. A clang and a shriek. The Draconids were trying to cut through the hull to get inside. With a single shared thought, Aki issued the order to spiral. The engineers hung on for...
24 (DSV Nautica) Lost in Time, Lost in Space...
Aki opened her eyes to blue skies. She frowned and raised her head ever so slightly. She was lying nude in a clearing of trees. Feeling herself and the surroundings for anything that might be with her, finding nothing. It was weird. The clearing was...
21 (DSV Nautica) Unforgiven
Lyn did the best she could to stumbled out into the airlock. It was hard to move. Everything felt tight, and she was getting light headed. She tried to shake it off, forming a shield around herself so she could begin spacewalking."Ash..open...the...
