55(DSV Nautica) Past Demons
It was deep in the night, many were asleep, but their night was just starting. Flare and Aa'zac had slept a fair amount, and were now getting ready for the trip on foot to the sacred icon obelisk. The camp was quieter, but there was still much...
53 (DSV Nautica) Shame
The Sun Clan was a relaxed group of several hundred permanent residents, all living a primitive life of meditation and teaching. Most young adults left the clan after age 80, to assist up inside Elysium. Those that chose to stay opted for the quiet...
54 (DSV Nautica) Demons
Aki and Zhi moved toward the room they had been commanded to. The unusual amount of protectors suggested a high ranking official was in the vicinity, and it was probably related to their assignment. Sure enough, the center of the protector horde was...
52 (DSV Nautica) Families
The transport touched down on the platform with a fairly loud clang, conduits shutting down. The fields shut down, allowing all passengers off. Flare stepped out and over to the edge of the platform. The ocean, blue as ever with the faintest shade of...
49 (DSV Nautica) Remains
Zhi sat in his quarters, wringing his hands together, glancing around. He had expected Aki to be here when they had gotten back but she, not to mention Ka'ya and De'an, were nowhere to be found. He had a lot to talk to her about, but first she had to...
48 (DSV Nautica) Newcomers
The Mors exited FTL, very close to the Ayr'ese city, maneuvering to dock in one of the bays that normally held a Dreadnaught. The procedure was long and arduous, but was finally completed to let the crew off. Flare moved up to the central command...
51 (DSV Nautica) Rest
"Mors, you have clearance to dock." The giant behemoth limped into dock 12. They had seriously underestimated the power of those attackers. They had already sent ahead word of what had happened, and it had the high command and inner council in a bit of...
50 (DSV Nautica) Fight or flight
Aki laid in her private quarters aboard the station, all Elites got their own quarters, though the enlists got put into communal housing. She liked the privacy that was afforded by a room, but missed the social connections she had made during her time...
47 (DSV Nautica) Respect
Aki's gaze was lost in the forward display of the Erebus. So much had happened recently, and she was handling it rather well, she thought. From a normal star ship commander to a reader of the Eidolon scrolls in less than two days time. When was the...
46 (DSV Nautica) Secret Treasures
"Matriarch....we must talk about the Bifrost gate." "Oh?" "Yes." The Architect was quite stern in his assertion. "The Bifrost has served its purpose, but also has lit up like a flare across the galaxy. We need to shut it down." This was sudden,...

"Flare! Flare!" Lyn began calling excitedly. She ran toward the excavation, her heart pounding in her chest with joy. "Lyn? Whoa, calm do-" "They are here!" Lyn began to laugh, full of joy. There was a roar overhead, as a figure on a large elongated,...
43(DSV Nautica) Thoughts
The scroll closed with an underwhelming click of metal on metal. Reality corrected itself, and the feeling of power broadcast across the galaxy, and through the wormhole, was over. The citizens of the Ayr Empire and Avalon no longer felt the effects of...
