The rather tall woman slumped bonelessly in her chains. A broken saber and it's scabbard, an emptied pistol with its holster and belt, in addition to a ripped military uniform of captain's rank, along with high black riding boots were crumbled at her feet. Kimo Fook's brown eyes looked without pity at the manacled unconscious woman. He studied her a momen...
She happened into the doorway of the house, half striding and half stumbling, attempting purposeful but in reality feeling close to broken by the many demands of the day.

Corporal Job frowned as he watched the update on the vidscreen mounted to the wall of the general's private quarters. The news from the Kuiper asteroid belt wasn't good, as usual. The Drinkers had developed a new weapons array, as usual. Many lives had been lost in the initial assault near Neptune, as usual. But scientists were busy at work on new defense st...

The flickering flames of candles gave the red walls a softer burgundy hue. Margarite, the hostess, was lighting the final wicks while her guests rearranged the room in preparation for their evening.
