Approximately ten months after the events of Chaos and Consequences Tobias watched as the man on the Holovid in front of him rambled quietly. It had been months since the prisoner was captured; it had been almost as long that each day he was subjected to numerous forms of interrogation and torture. Yet still, somehow,Continue reading “The Will to Survive”

Purpose
Six months after the events of Chaos and Consequences For as long as he could remember, he wondered who he had been before. Clouded memories surface every now and again, but nothing concrete. Nothing that would give him a sign of his true purpose; of why someone brought him back to life. Not once. NotContinue reading “Purpose”
The Toughest Goodbye
Nineteen years before the events of The Edge of Madness Don’t show him you care. Don’t show him how hurt you are by this reckless choice. You can do it. Hold it together, girl. He will come around on it. He must. Nayomi inhaled mightily and exhaled her frustration at the man standing in frontContinue reading “The Toughest Goodbye”
Damaged Goods
Eight years before the events of The Edge of Madness “Why the fuck did you pick this one up?” growled the Wulvern pirate. His teeth barred at his shorter, and fatter, companion who didn’t shy away from the confrontation. Both wore shiny metal piecemeal armor, and hardly any of it matched in color or texture.Continue reading “Damaged Goods”
The Edge of Madness: Prologue
Eighteen years before the events of Chaos and Consequences Darkness surrounded him. It extended as far as he could see, drowning everything in despair. Even the very ground he stood on was pure darkness. It was everywhere. Endless. Suffocating. He didn’t know why he was here, how he got here, or if he was stillContinue reading “The Edge of Madness: Prologue”
Zeroes and Ones
Eleven years before the events of The Edge of Madness “It’s doing anything, Anders. Are you sure it is going to work? If not, I need to take her now so I can give her a proper burial.” Joren insisted impatiently. The hour was late, and both men were tired, both for entirely different reasons.Continue reading “Zeroes and Ones”
The Tinkerer
Four months after the events of Chaos and Consequences “Wrong. All wrong.” The elderly male Praug croaked in frustration at his shaky, webbed hands. As the years passed, the slight tremble in them had grown increasingly worse, making it more and more difficult to do the only thing at which he knew he could do.Continue reading “The Tinkerer”
Choices
12 hours after first events of Chaos and Consequences Thump, thump, thump. The Galactic Imperium soldiers boots gently pounded the dusty floor beneath her feet. The shoddy lighting above had allowed her to briefly see a small number of various sized shadows moving quickly down the tunnel ahead of her. In her excitement at potentiallyContinue reading “Choices“
Justifying the Means
Approximately one week into Operation: Codename Stormbringer, aboard the Galactic Imperium vessel named Judgement. “Are you sure this is a good idea? I’m sure we can still pull out of the deal. This doesn’t feel right.” The fresh recruit protested with wide eyes and an unblemished uniform. “I’m sure. If you question me one moreContinue reading “Justifying the Means”
The Endbringer
“I am going to ask you, one…more…time. Where did they go?” The man demanded in a low growl through gritted teeth. He focused his mind on the shirtless man with tattered pants and small circular scars near the veins just above his forearm. A breeze whipped around his dark cape moodily, and the gold trim on it brilliantly reflected the lights high above. He donned matching midnight black uniform, with the same gold trim on the cuffs and Galactic Imperium insignia stitched on his left breast.
