Shattered souls: Chapter 8

Chapter 8: No way back"Is everything going smoothly down here?" the engineering team glanced around as I strode purposefully into their work space, the low hum of the Normandy's enormous drive core resonating in my ribcage."As smoothly as possible Commander" replied the chief engineer, who came to meet me halfway down the engine bay. "Greg Adams Sir" stated the man as he snapped off a textbook salute. "I've been appointed to the SSV Normandy as her head of engineering" I nodded in silent agreement before replying."I expect nothing but your best engineer Adams, but judging from your service history that pretty much guaranteed" I turned to l...

Ms. Tofanelli-Chapter 39

Ms. Tofanelli—Chapter 39 After I got dressed for our evening out, Nicci shooed me out of our bedroom while she got ready. I sat on the couch waiting, and soon I heard the click of Nic's crutches and the thud of her walking heel. I looked her way—a chair partially blocking my view just as a chair in my home blocked the view on the evening Nicci revealed her stump to me—but I could see Nic was wearing one of her little black dresses and her blue-framed glasses, matching the color of Linda's old Delaire facemask, which was resting on Nic's face. Damn, she looked great, and she's going to wear her little orthodontic toy for our evening out. As Nicci crutched into full view, I could then see that the dress she was wearing was my favorite—daringly short for a woman of Nicci's modesty, with a very high slit on the left side. The slit allowed an excellent view of her stump or socket, and tonight it was her stump for all to see. She stood before me, balancing on her crutches and the tall

Fable:The Ripper and Gypsy Ch6

Sold OutBetrayals always hurt like hell. Couples are torn apart when one of the lovers is found to be cheating on the other. Mutinies always leave the former captain dead or fed to a kraken or some type of sea creature. No matter what someone is left wondering, "How the hell did I end up in this situation?" That was exactly why Jack preferred his role as an assassin. There were no betrayals to an assassin, and on the incredibly rare occasion there is a betrayal, the assassin is usually the one doing it.That being said it didn't hurt to be on one's toes when attending a meeting like this. After all no matter how you look at it, you're going...

Last Orders, Part 7

Beneath to the burning surface of a flooded world, a woman in a full-body wetsuit was fighting her way up through the fierce currents. The water was colder than she had imagined but the dive had been shorter than she had first feared, and as she pushed against the gushing currents and propelled her entire body upwards, flailing her legs beneath her in unison, the woman remembered what she had witnessed when she had first made it to the bottom. I t was a thought which stimulated her to flail faster. Following a trail of debris, much of which was still slowly raining down, the ghostly wreck of the Cantina had emerged from the deep like the s...

The Battle of Jupiter (Part 1)

The Moonlight Society’s Jupiter battlegroup consisted of the battleships Triumphant , Impervious and Victorious , the carriers Tyrannic and Obliterator , six heavy cruisers, four standard cruisers, three light cruisers and a scattering of smaller vessels.On the bridge of the Triumphant, Vice-Admiral Sandra Naismith was pacing. As a battleship the Triumphant was excellent, but it lacked the facilities to be a truly effective flagship.For one thing, it lacked a ready-room or ship’s office. There was nowhere for the CO to go to conduct ship’s business, or whenever it wasn’t absolutely vital that they were standing on the bridge.V...

SOE - On the fly -

-Interlude 2: On the fly-~ How? ~ Temper briefly wondered before a fisted servo connected violently with her helm and made the Eradicon mask and her dentas rattle. She staggered a few steps back. Around her Decepticons were laughing roughly. The violet femme shook her helm to get the fogginess that the jab had caused out of her processor and focused back on her opponent. With a vicious snarl on her white faceplate Vault – or rather the Decepticon Blackbox – launched herself at the scouttank again. And even as she brought up her arms to try fending off the next blow, Temper couldn’t help but repeat in her mind over and over again:~ How did ...

Vaia: Day 2

Day 2 It was 8AM when I woke up and had already had breakfast. The pain I had before didn't come back but I need to find my guardian about what happened last night. My guardian's name is Erol and he happens to be the commander of the Krimzon Guard. He has pale skin with grey marks over his face and ears, symbolising him as one of the troops in the Guard. He has blazing hazel eyes and his hair is a copper-red colour, the ends sticking out crookedly behind him. He's quite tall as well, but no taller than an inch above me. Erol's personality is simply law-abiding, graceful movement, a workaholic and is often strict; and in some way has a 'sil...

White Elephant In The Night

White Elephant In The Night As far back as I can remember, my dad has had a serious problem with snoring. We would all joke about it, saying that he could raise the dead with his snoring, or frighten small children. Occasionally when the topic would arise, my mom would add, "Yeah? Well you don't have to sleep next to him!" and follow up by launching into a middle of the night tale that invariably ended with her jabbing him in the ribs with her elbow and shouting, "Mike! Stop snoring!"Everyone - my dad included - would laugh at her stories because as mundane as they may be, getting the mental image of this always made the story worth it...

Mass Vexations: Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Sessions: Symphony no. 6I've been hanging around Chora's Den. And there is a hell of a lot on my mind that I've found out.I checked my cell phone in the alley, and noticed that no matter where I walked, I did not get any bars, even when I discreetly checked outside of the alley. Well, shit. I'm cut off from everybody I knew. I'm... I'm really alone now.Alone. That's... terrifying, really. I mean, I lived by myself, but I was never alone. I had people I could trust. People I could talk to. People I could go to if the situation was right... Shit... This is a bit hard to swallow.I'll hang on to the phone, however. As a memento of a...

Chapter 4

The Paz base was something the Autobots had yet to discover. It was on Cybertron’s fourth moon. It was chosen because of its irregular orbit, which kept it far from Cybertron except for the southern hemisphere. It was the perfect place to create a base for Shockwave and Soundwave. The two bots had set about making the base the central hub for all Decepticon communication throughout the galaxies. Shockwave had specifically coded one of the monitors to receive two signals – one for his Autobot persona, Longarm, and the other for communication with Lord Megatron and other Decepticons. Soundwave had greatly assisted when he had first joined S...

The Weapon Part 3

Chinangel: Ugh! I'm so so sorry! I haven't posted for so long. I've been feeling lazy and uninspired to post anything. So today, I finally gave myself a kick in the butt, sat down and started writing. Hopefully, there won't be many repeats of this. ANYHOW! This chapter will actually move the story along (surprise surprise!) and, with any luck, will be longer than that last piece of garbage that I spat out.Also, when people speak of Ranma's gender, it's in the way that they view Ranma. Anyhow, here's Shrieken!Shrieken: Im not sorry. I have no doubt everyone at Fanfiction.net is more than supportive, but over at Mediaminer, where I manage, ...

John and Ilsa

The room was lit only by the soft glow of an oft-used candle, held by young woman who gently monitored the room with piercing green eyes. Her strawberry hair was tied in a loose bun, but now a few strands fell daringly out of place. She still had, as a matter of habit, a white square cloth covering her face, tied snugly there by cords which looped behind her ears. Over her shoulder hung a leather bag to which she clung dearly wherever she went, and which rattled ever so slightly as she walked.She was standing just inside the doorway, observing the dozen or so makeshift cots that lined the walls, each filled with a gently resting child. Sat...

--------Flashback - Fourteen years ago“What am I supposed to do...?”A lone Gerudo woman was curled up outside, hugging her knees and doing what she could to hide out from a massive storm of rain and lightning. She was currently under an abandoned, torn-up canopy not too far away from Kakariko Village. She had tried to reach out to the villagers for shelter but she was turned down every time. With little choice, she left to the back of town near where the graveyard was.A crash of lightning went off, startling the woman, as the rain started to pour down heavier. A small hole in the canopy started to open up more, and water dripped down on th...

How did you get close to him?" Of course Jazz was confused, but decided not to dwell on the matter. Ratchet's personal time was not something that he should intrude in on.

They had come to the conclusion that the teacher, Ms. Fareafu, might very well be the undercover mole who had been leaking secrets to the Ebony Sisterhood rebellion. However they were locked in the classroom, with Ms. Fareafu holding the only key.Link took a glance over to see Fareafu's teaching aide; the laid-back woman Nilonu and her sock puppet Bow-Wow. She was reading a paper with one hand while Bow-Wow was grabbing small candies from a nearby bowl and tossing them into the air when Fareafu wasn't looking, and Nilonu was catching them in...
