USS Surefoot, Deck 4, Sickbay Recovery Room, Stardate 36448.68: Captain Hrelle lay face down on the biobed, resting his muzzle on his crossed arms, a teal-coloured cloth draped over his rear end; a small opening in the cloth allowed a thick, furless, half-metre-long appendage to rise up and sway like a Rigelian cobra. His fingers, encased in dermal sheaths,...

They were soon underway, with Jade skilfully bringing them out of the asteroid belt, before racing away to reach the Nav beacon. As soon as they were clear of the pull of the system's gravity wells, Jade engaged the Tachyon Drive, and the Invictus leapt effortlessly into hyper-warp. They watched the icon representing their ship, as it followed the glowing gr...

Grace had been anxious about this case since the beginning, and this latest development did not exactly improve her state of mind. She clutched her file folders to her side nervously as she and Joe stepped into the elevator of the Havens...

We're still losing a liter about every forty-two minutes... I... I can't find any leaks in my seal, which means we gotta have another leak somewhere else... It'll take time to find it." The escape pod—roughly the...
Illustrations by LunA. 4. NAKED AND ALONE It would be her last visit to the Havenswood Psychiatric facility. She waited until the day after the funeral to do it, to say the words she swore she would never say. She couldn't look Daniel in the eye when she said them, and after she did, he couldn't look into hers. "I can't do it." Daniel Becket was too stun...
Sandra cursed as the car in front of her stopped for the red light, in her opinion far too conservatively. She was in a hurry, and had been so for a long time.
