Demi-God 03
For as much as she enjoyed coming to the city, Victoria couldn't say that she wanted to live in it. The tall buildings were impressive and the paved roads had her cart moving nice and smooth. The markets were both amazing and convenient with their fresh goods available every morning. A shoe shop on one corner hustled customers in and out while advertising the finest leather. More to her interests, a watchmaker's workshop sat along the street. All sorts of mechanical wonders hung in its windows. Most,…-

Demi-God 02
Time passed by Victoria without her really noticing. She fell into a daze as people whirled about around her at an accelerated rate. Mama had come into the room shortly after. Questions flew around, none that Victoria really had answers to. She had been ushered off to a side room where Mama came in and out to offer comfort and the occasional glass of water. Had she fallen asleep? Probably. She couldn't remember any dreams, but she felt refreshed upon waking. Perhaps a lack of dreams was for the best.…-

Demi-God 01
"This is it men! Keep him down. You only need to hold out a little longer! For humanity. For the future!" Xerthus gripped the reins of his wyvern as the enchantment on his voice fell away, angling it to the side to avoid a pike of lightning that flew through the air. Clenching his fist, Xerthus formed a lightning pike of his own. As tall as a grown man and as wide as a warrior's arm, he threw it down at the god below. Ddraicoatl caught it with his bare chest. He could do nothing else. The…-

Joining the Crew “Hi mom, dad. I… um… I don’t exactly know where to start. You probably have a lot of questions after my last video. I’m not sure I was all that articulate. Hah, a linguist not being articulate with her words.” Dorothy smiled, but it didn’t stick around for long. “Alice says that we’ll be in a location soon where I can make a live call to you, but until then, I wanted you to know that I’m alright and to not worry about me, so you get this video! Which will probably…-

Medical Matters “She’s sleeping,” Alister said, closing the door lightly. The heavy metal doors of the Lunar Dial weren’t exactly meant to close silently, but he still tried so as to not wake Dorothy. Gideon sat just outside, reading a book in a chair that he had dragged out to the hall. He was still fully armed from his own excursion out into the city. A precaution Alice had insisted upon. There really wasn’t so much space in the cramped vessel walkways for him to be fully geared out with a…-

Delivery The destination warehouse was a half-hour drive outside Tampico. They had to cross through the entire city all the way from the port just to get to the city limits. The entire journey was taking a fair amount longer because of having to go in the opposite direction to pick up the cases from Francesca, though they were getting close now. In the end, Flash and Tatyana were sitting in the back of the covered truck with the cases. Even had she not brought half the armory and even had Flash not…-

Armored Up “Captain. I have purchased a pair of Phalanx CIWS autocannons and a crew to install them. However, I do not trust the installation team. I’m counting on you and the rest of the Lunar Dial to keep them out of the ship proper. If they claim they need to get inside to hook up systems or whatever, kick them off the ship. If they need to access anything other than the bolt holes on the top of the deck, kick them off the ship. They are to mount the cannons and nothing else. I’ve already…-

Missile Attack The Lunar Dial had no mounted weaponry. It was hard enough stopping in ports around the world as it was. The ship was registered as a luxury yacht in most of their frequented civilian destinations even though it was a customized K130 Braunschweig class corvette. Unlike most yachts, the ship had a distinct militaristic profile. Even random civilians would point to the Lunar Dial and think that it was a military ship. Trying to pull into a dock with a 76mm gun sitting on the deck, several…-

Meet Dorothy Alister leaned over the railing surrounding the Lunar Dial’s helipad, watching the ship’s wake mar the otherwise glassy ocean. There were two trucks and a modified humvee strapped down, but they didn’t occupy too much of the overall space. The flight deck didn’t see much use except perhaps as an exercise area when the weight room got a little too stuffy for the crew. For the most part, the exercise room held only weights. There were two treadmills, but the stuffiness tended to get a…-

Raven Defensive Systems Incorporated The hands ticked around the clock, filling the air with a rhythmic noise that reminded everyone how late this meeting was starting. The core crew had assembled, but the boss still hadn’t shown up. She was many things, but late wasn’t one of them. Ten minutes late? Perhaps it was time to send someone to find her. A pencil rolled down the table, slowed to a crawl, and came back to the edge. It fell off the side, landed in a hand, placed on the edge of the table,…-
