As written by @Script, @Machina Somnium, and @Cowpoke Cale Nuance had overtaken the light spectrum within Hemwy’s ocular dome at the revelation of Ezra’s vital scans. Surprise, sadness, disappointment, blame, guilt, a portrait of poignant emotion spilt upon the canvas in recursive repetition...

As written by @Script, @Machina Somnium, and @Cowpoke Cale Hemwy patiently endured their small talk, aperture whirring as he focused on random bits and bobs strewn about the room. A half finished mycelium weave gave off a faint glow from the top of a counter in the corner. Meanwhile, both his...

As written by @Script, @Machina Somnium, and @Cowpoke Cale “Do I get to know what is happening, now?” Kai chimed in, almost petulantly. “Even like, a tiny bit?” Jace sighed. “Stepping through that door took… no, felt like a different amount of time for each of us. I think I was in there for a...

Kai's drone hovered beside him after he stepped through, a reassuring presence in the emptiness of the void. It hummed softly, a sound that was almost musical. Strangely, the drone seemed to know exactly what to do, guiding him through the void with a sure hand and adapting to its strange...

As written by @Script, @Machina Somnium, @Dashmiel, @KenżaSheep, and @Cowpoke Cale "Why?" Asked Ezrael then, after they listened to what their strange… friend? Had to say. He tried not to be harsh, but the question was fair. "Why trust you? And where must we follow?" He rephrased, since the...

Jace came to a halt at the head of the group, turning back to frown at Ezra's hesitation. Were it not for the fact that the kill-bot seemed to have halted its pursuit in the distance he would have had no patience for it, but as it was he bit back the urge to rush the cervitaur onwards without...

"Then let's move," Jace affirmed. He didn't wait for more than a second to see that the others had acknowledged him before breaking into a run in the direction Kai's map had indicated. It was just like the little firestarter to get in over his head trying to do something flashy. They didn't even...

"Well, can't is a strong word..." Kai mused, before Jace shot him a warning look. "No unnecessary risks," he chided. "Thirty minutes isn't going to make or break anything. Besides, we could use the charging time, right?" On screen, Kai's avatar sighed dramatically and waved a dismissive hand...

"Big on their X names, I guess," Jace murmured. His eyes lingered briefly on Circe as she paused and seemed to focus, supposing she must have been using her abilities in some way to ascertain how readily they should follow the AI's direction. Not that he imagined it had emotions in the...

The light show and the cavernous space were eerily reminiscent of the ride up to confront CHIREN -- going from the self-contained cityscape of Meropis into the vast, cavernous hull of the colony ship that held all the necessary machinery to keep it running and ignorant. Strange lights in the...

Jace was easy enough to rouse from his slumber - he was a relatively light sleeper, it seemed, and by the time they'd gotten within a few feet of him their footsteps had tugged him back to the waking world with a bleary blink. Once he'd stirred, he volunteered to be the one to rouse Kai, and...

Glancing up at Circe when she addressed them, Jace flashed her a wry smile. “I’ve never driven anything bigger than a car before, so you might wanna reconsider that offer.” “Tch, maybe she was just talking to me. Look, if I can figure out a mega-tank-drone, I can figure out a spaceship, easy,”...

Only once the elevator was sealed and had settled into a steady pace did Jace let out the breath it felt like he'd been holding since that... thing started charging its weapon, leaning back against the elevator wall and sliding down to sit with a heavy sigh of relief. In years of fighting-- of...

"I'll do you one better, Ezzy," came Kai's reply, as cocksure and delighted as they'd ever heard him. Behind the wall of cover, Kai's drone had been busy adapting its shape, new extensions and barrels forming all over its body as a dizzying array of missile pods, railguns and cannons blossomed...

"Oh, fuck me in particular," Jace muttered as the androids eyes each locked onto him. He didn't have time to question the strange voice - if it could be called a voice - in his head. The suit's strange consciousness certainly had the right idea. Thankfully, moving was his speciality. He'd...

"No active fires, but something melted all that shit," Kai replied. "More likely some kind of energy weapon than fire, I'd guess. Fire doesn't usually get that hot." Jace was still eyeing the portal, chewing his lip. "If it was an intentional trap, you'd think they'd have made it more obvious,"...

"Hold up!" Kai's digitised voice cut through the silence, and the marching drone came to an abrupt halt. Beside it, Jace froze and tensed, scanning their surroundings for a threat. "There's ... something. A hole? No, a rift. Portal. Whatever you wanna call it." The machine's sensors were...

Jace felt as if his mind was folding in on itself. The world leaped, reversed, and stood still all at once. One moment he was set to advance cautiously to take his place in Circe's formation, the next he was staring down a hurtling hunk of metal flying towards him from across the canyon. The...

For all their relative youth, it was clear that neither of the group's youngest members were strangers to arriving in hostile territory. The moment that the disorientation of their abrupt arrival had passed, both Jace and Kai were quick to - in their respective ways - make moves to secure their...

A ten minute crash course of experimentation wasn't quite what Jace had been hoping for when handed a piece of hyper-advanced alien technology and told that it would be what stood between him and becoming a red smear on the landscape of their destination in the first five seconds after arriving...
