"Roger, roger." Laura said, picking out her own custom Caliburn MKIII. Her smile stayed the same even as she checked the stock, the sighting system and the chambering mechanism. Smoother than warm butter. She donned a headset handed to her, snapping her fingers twice over the earmuff, testing...

Carmelian Expanse - Eselberg Station, Kalis System Herrick Coven Space - Arcana Row - Expansion Sector Elenor was once more working on the facets of the coven that honestly, only she really could work on. Oh sure, technically speaking, Lucas and/or Lucina could help, but she had to do this...

Carmelian Expanse - Eselberg Station, Kalis System Despite some reservations, Klaus had come to enjoy his place in Eselberg Station. His family was happy, had a roof over their heads and they were in a position of relative power. He had his card games with Lucas and Tarkus and sparring matches...

As usual, it was Magician who tactessly broke the silence. "So, guys. How are you feeling?" He leaned on the wall, trying too hard to seem casual. The augur's leg jerked incessantly as he bounce his heel off the floor. "We need... we need a plan of action." he said, stating the obvious. But...

"I'd take all the sand and rain and cold for even an hour of sunlight." Grumbled the Lusiad part of the Liquidator team, barely suppresing a yawn. She was a study in contrast of her partner. Her hair was long and dark, highlighted here and there with Babel gold. She was tall, though not as tall...

Magician tried to keep himself from shivering as Kay's senses passed over him. He instead avoided looking at Hermit and trying to act like Old Magician would've. "Maybe we should get Judge and Kay some sticks..." he wondered out-loud. "Uhhh, who's on Tower duty again?" he asked the group...

Magician eyes widened as he and Hermit found something that truly frightened him. No one had been living in Enkidu's room. He turned to Hermit and in shock, spoke, "How?" However, that was his undoing as the gas entered him. He tried to fight it, but he was just Magician. Always the lesser...

Magician suprised himself, snorting at Hermit's pun. He thought, it was odd that he could still feel such things. Shouldn't he be sorrowed, bereft of joy and laughter? Bah. Even his inner thoughts were turning morose. At her warning, he nodded simply, mouth shut. While still an Augur, he was...

Normally Magician have delighted at the chance of gossip and teasing Kay, but such delight felt wrong and guilty here. He nodded at Death's order. "Roger." Before he turned away, he spared one last glance at Enkidu's body. Not turning away, he spoke, "I was gonna teach him how to play poker..."...

Damnit. If only Magician had been quicker or better at using his psychic will, maybe he could have stopped Miss Penny from getting hurt. As he approached all his fellow Augurs around Enkidu's body, he spoke out loud the thought that had been burrowing in his mind, as he closed off his empathic...

Babel Capital City 'Chaldea' - Columbary, OIA Underground AUGUR Observatory Facility. Magician had dreams. Well it was better said, he felt he had them. Every time he woke up, they vanished like mist in the morning. They left something heavy in his heart. Something between joy and sorrow. But...

The Beast's black ichor covered maw turned to the Elder Vaesen's challenging shriek. The wolfman's hate filled gaze narrowed, baring it's sharp fangs, growling that seemed like a rising thunder. The small corner of the Beast's mind that recognized it was outnumbered drowned out by the roaring...

"Gotcha. Always good to know how far you are from civilization." the Doctor responded to the guide. "Why, Frank? Fortune and glory, what else." Idaho said, answering Frank's question about his purpose on the expedition. Turning towards the Pathfinder, he nodded and simply said, "Slow and steady...

The shrieking of monster rang across the forest. It was the only thing that hid Thorrfen's breathing. His heart hammered away in his chest, even as he breathed in and out into an old rythm, his father had taught him. His hands shook as he loaded a new arrow into his bow. He was ducked behind an...

"Who am I?" mumbled a young voice. The voice was small and quiet, unsure of itself. It hurt to even think. But then he realized, he had been the one to speak. His mind felt sluggish and weak and slow, but he rolled himself, his ego in his mind's eye. Growing bigger, stronger and clearer than...

"Ivory." Red's gruff voice called out from his place in the rear. "Remind me again, why does the worm seek the crossover? Is it merely attempting to migrate like a beast or does it harbor some nefarious intellect behind its eyes?" Red would be the first to admit he was the most attentive...

Idaho Harris perked up from his seat on the lead vehicle, eyes looking away from glowing mushroom cluster they had just passed. "If I was a guesser, I'd say the reason we don't disturb the flora is because of the fauna, Tinman." he said into the open channel, settling himself more comfortably in...

"Gods, it's enormous" said Thorrfen, as he witnessed the full scale of the metal ship. Even in this battered and broken state, it made him feel very small. From his vantage point on the hills, he could see the small fires beginning to spread to what remained of the once enormous forest. It felt...

"Of course I am. I'm the nerd to end all nerds." Magician huffed at Justice. He smiled tentatively at Moon and opened his mouth to say more when he saw the number of fungus monsters heading their way. "Oh nuts." "What to do we do? Should we make a run for it? Or... or Moon can just grow to...

Red turned his helmet towards his companions as Black Knight questioned Ivory. He felt a pang of annoyance. They should be moving on or retreating. Hesitation was a sure death. His old self would have tried to assert dominance, to command but then again his old self didn't care for anything or...
