In space combat, Nebulas represented something of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, they were an incredible source of cover for relatively small fleets of ships. As long as you kept your broadcasts at the lower end of power, you could still c...
2025-03-28 15:49:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning, there was a certain tension in the air as I prepared for my day. After everything that was going on, after the Endbringer, preparing the guardians to hold the cleared territory, and discussing our strategies and plans with New Wa...
2025-03-27 16:10:02 +0000 UTC View PostVik quickly made his way upstairs with Frank. He asked to meet Rebecca alone at first but eventually invited me up to talk. Apparently, Rebecca's cyberware arms, while pretty brutally removed, had been hacked off south of the connection poin...
2025-03-26 15:54:07 +0000 UTC View PostWe hung around Canberra for quite a while longer, helping out where we could, even as more and more of the city was declared "safe" and properly searched. While my healing was no longer in constant demand, I was instead serving as a bit of a swiss...

2025-03-22 16:23:27 +0000 UTC View PostIt took nearly an hour to get everyone together, from ground team leaders to ship captains and several others. Some gathered together on their side, while others were alone, but all of them were projected around and above us, surrounding the loung...
2025-03-21 15:43:30 +0000 UTC View PostDauntless described the fight with the Simurgh as best he could. It was clear that, despite this being the least bloody and quickest fight against the flying abomination to date, it was still an extraordinarily lethal and chaotic battle. Apparentl...
2025-03-20 15:37:46 +0000 UTC View PostBy and large, my issues with cyberware stemmed from an instinctual squeamishness that I recognized wasn't entirely logical. I had adamantly stated multiple times I would never cut parts of myself off just to replace them, no matter how superior th...
2025-03-19 15:24:15 +0000 UTC View PostI knew exactly when the Simurgh touched down, and the battle to fight her off began.
Not for any metaphysical reason. As far as I was aware, she was no more connected to me or magic than anything else in this world. Instead, what I could fee...
2025-03-18 15:33:08 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! You'll notice an almost immediate change between what happened at the end of last chapter and the start of this one. After some thought, I decided the number value was just not high enough, so I bumped it up retroactively. Thank yo...

2025-03-15 16:30:19 +0000 UTC View PostThe trip back to Alpha Base on board the Forge was blessedly peaceful. The mission to rescue Wedge, Hobbie, and Tycho might have only taken a few hours, but it had felt like days, and certainly exhausted my team and I like it was tha...
2025-03-14 15:53:44 +0000 UTC View PostWith four golems, plus Smokey in the lead, carrying a ten-ton bus like it was nothing major was actually not that difficult. At first, the people inside panicked, screaming that they had been grabbed by the Simurgh, but Smokey was able to ca...
2025-03-13 15:51:46 +0000 UTC View PostWith Rebecca sedated, I ended up making my way to the garage. Originally, I had no intention of doing any more work, but watching Rebecca freak out had unsettled me, and I wasn't really in the mood to just sit around. So, I ended up working on a f...
2025-03-12 15:29:44 +0000 UTC View PostStrider and his passengers appeared in an open area, the space resonating with the same dulled thundercrack that always heralded his arrival. It was obvious they had left Brockton Bay behind, even if you ignored the different buildings around them...
2025-03-11 15:53:37 +0000 UTC View PostWhile everyone was moving to get the ship up and flying, I took a look out of the large forward viewport. Fires and smoke billowed across the large starport, both because of my distraction and because of Wedge, Hobbie, and Tycho tearing across the...
2025-03-10 15:44:57 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! So recently I've mentioned mixing up the posting schedule to add a new story to the line up. It would most likely take my Thursday slot, and would be an opportunity to test the waters with new content. If a new idea takes off, it m...
2025-03-08 18:35:13 +0000 UTC View PostWith the speeder now carrying us along, we made good time through the large Imperial base. We managed to dodge or escape patrols both through luck and through the skilled piloting of Tycho and Hobbie. As we got closer and closer to the starport, h...
2025-03-07 16:37:41 +0000 UTC View PostI stared at him for a long moment, trying to understand what he could mean. There was no way he was insinuating that I should stay behind. He obviously must have meant something else because that was never going to happen. Even hypothetically, the...
2025-03-06 16:29:54 +0000 UTC View PostWhile it felt weird to just go back to work while we had a recovering person above the Shack, I still only had a limited amount of time left with the Fallout tech tree. Wasting it felt wrong, even if I was becoming extraordinarily fatigued and bur...
2025-03-05 16:19:55 +0000 UTC View PostIn the rush to produce the three new patrol groups, I had gotten a bit focused on my task. While I managed to maintain my responsibilities, I completely forgot to explain the situation to New Wave. Laserdream and Manpower had briefly met Smokey du...

2025-03-01 18:29:41 +0000 UTC View PostWith alarms blaring and blaster fire echoing down the halls, we didn't even make it to the end of the corridor before meeting another group of Imperials, this time four stormtroopers and a small handful of officers in uniform. We almost crashed in...
2025-02-28 16:11:13 +0000 UTC View PostSmokey and I sat back down in the same seats as before, across from the Director. She continued to read her current file, even as Miss Militia walked closer, sat in her original seat, and handed her the sealed file. After another minute of reading...
2025-02-27 16:52:16 +0000 UTC View PostIt did actually occur to me that what I was creating was a war crime, that if I had made it at home, would have likely ended with my name on a particularly large missile, strapped to a stealth drone. I had created a gas that was lethal to damn nea...
