The Studio was busy with paired off students. The Hol Sin Sol's were hand to hand trial and error exercises. The offensive movements countered by the defensive re-direction. Tiger walked about the dojo with watchful eyes. Setting stances and correcting hand movements. "Chariat," Tiger barked out and the class came to attention. "Line up." The students hurri...
I was holding office hours, when *she* arrived, a student complaining about a "C-minus" she had earned on a test that was given two months ago. She had always acted like she had better things to do than to be in class -- as if I my lectures were a tremendous waste of her time. I guess many students felt that way, but unlike the others, she made no attempt to...
Back row of science class in high school, two seniors (both just turned 18) were looking as innocent as possible sitting next to each other.

The transponder pinged for the first time on March 9th, 2154. Jessica's brow furrowed. She leaned back and took her feet off the desk and set her reading tablet aside and looked. A dot, just a pip in the landscape, showed up 6 clicks away in a mostly unexplored mountainous terrain. "What are you?" She said. She picked up the comm headset and slid i...
