Duality 06

by Tower Curator — High Wind “Welcome to Super Burger, home of the Super Burger, can I take your order?” Four thousand three hundred thirty-eight dollars was a lot. A few months worth of pay. It helped ease the pressure of a week without pay, revitalized our emergency money, and got Thoth a few goodies. After I got off work today, I was going to take a trip down to the mall to find some goodies for the rest of the family. However, it was not enough money to quit my job over, unfortunately. Even if it had an…

Demi-God 03

by Tower Curator — 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,…

Analyst 01

by Tower Curator — Sera walked through the darkened streets with half-lidded eyes. Her hair hung around her face as she shambled forwards, not quite looking where she was going but knowing exactly how far away her destination was all the same. Fiddling with a coin in her hands, she flipped it up high into the air. "Heads," she mumbled to herself before even catching the spinning metal. She snatched it out of the air and slapped it to her wrist. Looking was redundant as she already knew she was right. Still, she…

Dead Language 01

by Tower Curator — 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,…

Specter 01

by Tower Curator — "Final call for bets. You've got five minutes. Get 'em in before it's too late!" Cecilia Takala ignored the announcement and its repetitions in several other languages, choosing instead to sweep her gaze over the excited patrons. She had invited a great many people from all over the globe. Many of them were enemies of each other, but so far there hadn't been any incidents. Something Cecilia was going to credit the brilliance of her assigned seating and the required masks. Few people were sitting near…

Dead Language 04

by Tower Curator — 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…

Demi-God 01

by Tower Curator — "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…

Dead Language 05

by Tower Curator — 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…

Analyst 02

by Tower Curator — Nikolai trudged through the old freight hauler. He moved on memory alone, only registering his surroundings as an afterthought. The hauler was familiar enough to him that he didn't need to pay much attention. Some people stopped and stared as he walked through the narrow corridors. A few said things to him, but Nikolai didn't respond. He couldn't imagine what he looked like. Or smelled like, for that matter. Five days of hiding out in the old sewer system had taken its toll. As had dodging robotic…

Dead Language 03

by Tower Curator — 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…
