Songbird’s crew was restless. It was the morning after the whole… incident with Johnny Deuce. Jayna, Ash and Mari were all assembled in the dining room, trying and failing to occupy themselves while they waited for Zane to wake up. He tended to keep odd hours, even by spacer standards. “We should just… Read More Apex of the Songbird, Episode 7: A-40, Part 1
After a short pit stop, the crew of Songbird touched down at their destination. Ash elected to stay on board. “In case we need to take off quickly, I want us to be ready,” he said. “Good plan,” said Mari. “Let’s move, the sooner we have this thing out of our possession, the happier… Read More AotS – The Woman in the Wires, Part 4
“Him again?” said Mari, covering her head as she ran. “Was it too much to hope for that we’d seen the last of him after that incident on Annwyn?” “Apparently,” Ash sighed. “Jayna, can you reach Zane? We need to be off this planet yesterday. We’ll have to hold off on the drop and… Read More AotS – The Woman in the Wires, Part 2
It hadn’t taken long to find the little spit of land that was home to most of the pirate crews when they went to ground. Pirates, as a rule, weren’t very imaginative. The name ‘Skull Island’ had stuck out like a sore thumb among all of the touristy paradise sounding islands. They made a… Read More AotS – Mari Naoki, Pirate Queen, Part 4
Five minutes later, they were off, steering towards the input coordinates. It was warm, as it typically was on the planet with a huge reflective surface, and for the most part the sky had been clear.

Jayna waited patiently near the dock, cleaning the dagger fastidiously. She would’ve rather made this clean, but they were very low of ammunition, and who knew whether that guy had been telling the truth. She knew how to shoot, but she wasn’t half the marksman that Zane was. Besides, she preferred to get close. She… Read More AotS – How To Prepare For The End of Your Life, Part 4
Sorry for the lateness of this update, dear readers. John forgot what day it was. Oopsie. >_> ~###~ Exeter Prime was not quite a city. It was more an extension of the huge, flat complex that dominated the landscape. It could be seen from the air, an enormous rectangular sprawl, with occasional gaps for courtyards… Read More AotS – You Are The Boss Of Me, Part 3
Jayna opened up the door, and smiled. “We’re about ten minutes out from the worm hole–I figure you should come and get yourself strapped in.” “Great,” said Mari, as she pulled herself up. “Ash tell you horror stories about it?” said Jayna. “It’s really not that bad.
