Death Plague: Day 2

Next time I order a retreat and regroup, I need to remind engineering that this includes silencing all incoming communications. Except of course communications from the mother planet. But the communications that actually got to command… I didn’t need the constant beeps interrupting the deep focus needed for me to martial resources to combat the…

Death Plague: Day 1

The Death Plague has struck. There had been warning signs, but we’d ignored them. I’d ignored them. Honestly, I hadn’t had time to pay attention and failed at leading my colony. I should have paid attention when our sister colony was struck first. Rising Light had sent out distress signals. I’d ordered supplies sent, rendered…

A Matter of Kin

Steps echoing, Constance paced the corridor with hands behind her back. She shifted her grip with each step against the folds of her full skirt. The bridge guard’s pressed the button as she approached, allowing her entry.

Pioneers

Elrin shifted his footing again as the sands shifted. Even the bulk of their ship offered no protection from the wind and only marginal from the heat. He squinted into the distance, but golden dunes were all he could see. No plants. No life. No shelter. And certainly no rescue ships would find them here.
