They got back up from the cargo hold just as Ash was coming out of the engine room. “You two have fun trying to put holes in the ship?” “Always,” said Zane, seating himself down. “Put the big M on.” The screen winked on, showing an image of Martens seated in a hot tub.… Read More AotS – The [Insert Location Here] Job, Part 2
It had been another few days at Jayna’s hometown. It didn’t take long for Ash and Zane to get a little bit claustrophobic. And honestly, Mari was surprised how little time it took for her to feel the same way. They said their goodbyes and made their way back to port. “So, the only… Read More Apex of the Songbird, Episode 9 – The [Insert Location Here] Job, Part 1
Ash checked his weapon as he sprinted through the halls of the stadium. He didn’t have any extra ammo. Maybe had another six, seven bullets in the clip. For once, keeping count didn’t seem like such a bad idea. He couldn’t even imagine taking on someone built and trained like Jayna in an unfair… Read More AotS – Crazy Stupid Amazons, Part 6

Ash came in a few minutes later, his eyes still wary. “You okay, Zane?” he asked, sitting down… Read More Apex of the Songbird, Episode 8 – Crazy Stupid Amazons, Part 1
Most of the 10th floor was taken up by a huge hangar. A number of large shuttles were parked in a row, and the continual noise of the facility falling apart still pounded in the distance, only somewhat muffled by the thick walls. “E-59! I need you right this second!” C-42 said, seeing a scrawny… Read More AotS – A-40, Part 4
The week everything fell apart had started out like every other week. Drills, tests, physical examinations, training… and then. Something changed.
