Progress (pt 5)
A soft yawn escaped from Mary as she sat up and stretched in the faint pre-dawn light that crept into the bedroom. Her right paw came up to rub the sleep from her eyes for a few moments before she ran it over the top of her head. A cursory look around...
Coping (pt 2)
Mark was in a different cell from the ones like she'd first been thrown into and forced to mate with Jack in. This was one the two of them now shared a couple months later by her reckoning, a sick reward for the child that grew inside her. It was only...
One Crazy Accident (pt 1)
Roger loaded up the last of three wooden crates into the bed of his old HJ47 pickup truck. He latched the tailgate closed and took one last look back at the grounds of his local gun range. He'd done well at the swap meet, having traded for and...
No Escape From Reality (pt 11)
Captain Rels looked around the bridge of her ship as Fenthik, Marrin, and Gahn took up stations at three of the control consoles. Out of the viewport she could see the distance between the Teshar and the ENS Retribution slowly increase as the two ships...
The Tunnels of Jinem (pt 16)
Admiral Reimer stood on the bridge of the ENS Divine Might, currently the only operating Imperial Navy Flagship, and looked out at the derelict invasion carrier that they had been sent to find by order of Emperor William himself. It has taken the fleet...
Accepting Reality (pt 2)
Fynor stood up from the console and hissed in pain as feeling returned to the short stub of his tail. He'd been on this assignment for 6 months and still wasn't used to having the thing, unconsciously sitting on it all the time. He was already bored...
Take Me Home (pt 3)
Captain Heoni Rels strode into the main hanger bay with a disciplined gait that betrayed her past military service, though it had an ease that said those years were long behind her. Still, it leant a lethal undertone to the white-tail deer's otherwise...
Taking a Side (pt 5)
Roger looked up at the Teshar from the floor of the hanger it was in. He stood in awe of its size, it was not something he'd call small and looked to be at least half a kilometre in length alone. The fact it occupied barely even a quarter of the ENS...
Homeless (pt 4)
Fynor rushed back into his quarters and hastily sat in the chair at his desk, wincing in pain as once again he sat on his bobbed tail. There was no time for dealing with the damned thing, he needed to contact the Imperial Navy immediately. Marrin had...
The Escape 2/2 (pt 10)
Lights flickered in the otherwise silent corridors as a black cat ran down them. He made no attempt to conceal himself on his way to the holding cells, the explosions had drawn the humans' attention away as they fought to keep their severely damaged...
A Glimmer of Hope (pt 6)
"Why? Have I not done my duty and served the Emperor's will?" Fynor questioned the face of Director Hunt on the screen before him. The lynx's ears were flat against his head in the classic feline sign of anger. His claws had extended and pierced the...
Coming to Terms (pt 15)
Gahn was in his quarters, taking apart a broken lift control panel when he heard a loud banging resound through the room. "GAHN, OPEN THIS FUCKING DOOR RIGHT NOW YOU BIG IDIOT!" Leina's angry voice boomed through the door, in English. Startled to...
