Here's a snippet of my most recent post:

Quote:
Aethra Sunder sat in a soft, padded chair strategically placed in front of a large window which looked on the main launch tube of the station and languidly sipped her coffee.

Now that she was fully awake and the memory reintegration was finished, she felt great. Breaking in a new clone, she mused to herself, is like breaking in a new ship. Everything works perfectly, and you feel that you could take on the world… but there’s a rough edge, almost an eagerness, which rarely persists past the first few injuries.

The second installment is up!

Here's a snippet:

The Minmatar Republic Fleet Issue Stabber-class Cruiser Hungering Cold quietly slipped out of the event horizon surrounding a temporarily stable wormhole, heralded only by a spray of radiation and a burst of photons. As the turbulence of its arrival quickly disappated, a host of electronic sensing equipment got to work, taking readings of everything in sight, attempting to pinpoint the ship's location by triangulating known reference points. From the outside, the small vessel was swarming with activity, as hatches opened, instruments unfolded themselves, and attitude-control jets began to fire fitfully to correct the slight roll that was the only evidence of the ship's physics-bending trip through the wormhole.

It had taken her scanning crew three hours to verify their position, because they were so far from populated space that even CONCORD’s local communication system was strained. And for every second of those three hours, one of Aethra Sunder’s inner eyes was trained on the eerie nebula which spread out, light-years away but immediate in her memory.

The tree was still there.

Just below the ship’s name, “Tree Of Life“, are two stencils. One is a trio of stars on a silver circle, the corporate logo of Bannion Astrometrics. The other, the interlocking crescents of the Archangels. It is painted with silver, but the dull red light of the massive system star stains it with bloody rust.
