(If you came looking for cartoons they are in the previous chapters.) ***** Chapter Nine James was abducted by a UFO! James looked at future Mary for a moment... she looked back, "Cool spaceship!" He smiled. "It's a space car." She corrected while they hurtled through the cold vacuum of space completely naked. "Wait, what? But it looks just like an ali...
On my back on the floor, I felt the vibrations spring back to life. A few hours after embarking on your first flight, you get so used to the low hum of the engines that your mind filters it out... until it stops. In this cramped maintenance shaft, it seemed louder than ever. I finished mounting the panel and let my arms fall to the side, relaxing into the...
Chapter Ten Intrepid - 3755 C.E. The several thousand passengers and crew of a colossal space ship that was travelling through the most distant reaches of space all shared the misconception that the Interplanetary Space Ship Intrepid was on a mission directed from the Moon and that Nadezhda Kerensky was the captain. However, only one human on the space ship...
Intrepid - 3756 C.E. Anger. Frustration. Humiliation. These were just a few of the emotions Nadezhda was feeling as she reviewed her helpless situation.

She was unable to communicate with anyone other than Beatrice: the android wh...
"Two hours to the Tauk System, sir," relayed Screw to Atwat over the comlink. "We will drop out of N-Space in one hour and we should be above the elliptical plane of the planet." "Very good ...

Memoirs of Kitty Siam -- (v = - a Tr(k)). It took several days after my last contact with Angkor Maintenance Control to receive confirmation that portal travel between Angkor and Anora was possible. Several test modules were sent through from each end before both ends were certified for human travel. It was that evening that I decided to tell Raku, the monk...
Captain's log stardate 9411.28: We are leaving Drycon 3, a mostly peaceful planet with an early warp civilization. It's refreshing to see a society where they managed to get into space with so little death and destruction. Our next stop is an uncharted system of five planets orbiting a yellow sun; our probe told us that one is a habitable class M planet with...
Everyone was seeking an opportunity to get off-planet before an asteroid destroyed all life on Earth, and the Zorteff controlled the colony ships. But if you were not a scientist going into space for training or someone selected for the colony ship, your only chance- if you were a woman- was to go with the Zorteff as one of their "servants." If a woman did t...
Kyle walked back to his quarters from the shuttle bay, with the group of women and androids walking along with him. Even though the visit to the Martian surface had only lasted a short time the discovery of the Bug shuttle and being the first humans to land on the planet had given everyone a lot of excitement in that short amount of time. Reaching his quarte...
"I want to face the people aboard this ship. So we go to the bridge and have the Captain arrange an introduction in the training hall, it is the largest open area on the ship. I need to have them with me as a whole." Perry said. As Perry topped the landing, he stopped. Perry waited till the Captain noticed him and said, "Welcome to the bridge, Commander. Th...
