When Javier stretched and opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a pair of bare feet. They belonged to Kat, who'd apparently rolled his direction overnight. Jacob only had one bedroom, and the visitors had insisted on sharing the living room floor. Esther was still sitting in the same chair. Not asleep, but meditating. He hoped she'd gotten some sleep...
Three Square Meals Ch. 133 *This is incredible! To think that this citadel has been in existence since the time of the Kyth'faren!* Tashana gasped, gazing up in awe at the majestic high-arched ceiling as they walked along the corridor of the Kyth'faren castle. *Yet it still looks like construction was only completed a matter of days ago!* *How old is it ex...
"John..." the soft voice murmured, penetrating his subconscious. "Lilyana wants to speak with you..." He opened his eyes and found himself looking up at a dazzling view of the stars, the crystal dome in the Observatory so clear he could have been floating out there in the black. The next realisation was that he was buried under a pile of girls, with his rav...
Alyssa's cerulean eyes seemed to drink in every detail of John's shocked expression as she waited for his reaction.

Lynette and Lina walked inside, with the redhead unable to take her eyes off the stunning brunette. He followed them in and tapped the button to take the trio up to the senior officers' suites, the doors closing behind him and giving them some...
Calara stepped out of the armour-equipping frame in the Dojo's armoury and hurried into the corridor, breaking into a jog as she headed for the grav-tube. She'd heard a brief summary of the disastrous confrontation with John's guide from Alyssa, but after discovering that her girlfriend had been injured, all she wanted to do was rush to her side. She leapt o...
Ularean's image faded away, the Senior Councillor closing the call abruptly and leaving John and Calara exchanging frowns. "Any idea what Ularean was referring to with his 'preparations'?" John asked, a pensive expression on his face. "He was doing that same slow blinking mannerism as Talari - I'd love to know what that means." The Latina shook her head, t...
Alyssa let Helene cry against her shoulder, rubbing the aquatic girl's back as she wept. Whispering soothing words in her ear, she waited until Helene had cried herself out, then said quietly, "Let's go have a lie down." Helene nodded and let the blonde lead her out of the Officers' Lounge into the corridor beyond. The door to Faye's room slid aside after A...
Lieutenant Commander Ryan Murphy pulled off his flight helmet and relaxed back in the seat of his Claymore fighter. Running through the shutdown routine, he powered off the engines, then deactivated the rest of the impressive new fighter's systems.
