23 Hawle sat back in his command chair as the evening dragged on, having exhausted the attentions of Presidents and Professors. He had his feet on Sarina’s chair as she was on dinner. He had a ball in hand that he proceeded to toss into the air and catch several times as they followed their hosts to...

22 Stikka watched from the engineering bridge station as the ship followed the Avarra ship away from her goal, towards an exercise in bureaucracy as Havakar occupied his seat and Caltaya paced the scene, lamenting the new delay in testing his toy when he’d been so close to success. An Engineer and a...

First Contact... 21 Changed from his environment suit, Hawle adjusted his epaulettes and made sure they were hanging correctly on his shoulders before positioning his bandolier, realising he hadn’t buttoned up his jacket and working out how to do it without removing the bandolier again. He stepped o...

20 <“It’s all right,”> Kendall called, <“It’s all right!”> Hawle, who’d given passing thoughts to having a heart attack and breaking speed records to get down to the engine room, held up a hand to pause the others in their flight or fight reactions. “It thumping well is NOT all right, Kendall! What ...

19 Kendall couldn’t advise using the Loper’s traction beam on the Fawren ship as, appearances not withstanding, the hull was incredibly weak here and now. The weakness of age had come into play and the mould was in the venting. She reckoned she should be able to clear the engines of the mould with s...

18 Nothing worked in here, Hawle realised, as they continued their route around the Mican ship. This was what was optimistically called the sickbay, he figured. Something to do with the observation beds and antique tools on trays besides them. There had been no air in here so they’d felt the whoosh ...

17 The signal faded away as the team in department armours arrived in the cold, darkened, room. A single light flickered on the wall, casting shadows of the six whose movement broke the silence. Hawle opened up his helmet light, twin glows from the cheeks lancing out in a gentle beam that showed the...

And they're here. At the test zone. Of course it can't be this simple... 16 A brown, craggy, lump of rock some three hundred thousand kilometres wide lay in front of the Loper on the screen at five times magnification from almost a million miles away. Hawle was expecting obstacles. Interference. Som...

Sometimes Aldair likes to shirk his responsibilities... 15 Hawle stood on the bridge, facing the star spotted visage of space they were about to enter with some sort of trepidation. President Havakar, Professor Caltaya and David Brunton were with him as Hawle thought of a way to deal with the speech...

14 Brunton watched the door as Caltraya examined the system for abuses following the intruders actions, looking to see if the program had been affected in any way. “I was told this couldn’t happen,” he complained. “I was told Council ships were secure…” “Nothing’s ever totally secure, Professor,” Da...

12 Jaqui knew there was probably one or two targets right this moment. Apparently the Presidents daughter was with Katara and secure so that left the Professor and his toy. Brunton had the Professor in hand so that left the toy and the launcher so she was headed in there now, beginning to speed up a...

11 Cedar walked in on the stores as the ship idled at Dawnicca and he asked the porter where the Gavalak meat was before heading over to check it. It was one of the products the colony had found running around when they’d gotten there and had become a staple until the crops and invasive meat nonsent...

10 The Loper stretched out the time between Micanna and Dawnicca, the outermost colony in Council space. It wasn’t exactly a place that was stopped by often and had a bit of a reputation so ‘flying the flag’ was a useful thing, even on a Canine world. Commander Hawle didn’t see the logic of having a...

9 Sarina Raven checked over the ‘supplies’ they were taking on board on Micanna, the main shuttle idling by some fifty feet away to her left as she made sure the stasis lock was still in place and hadn’t been tampered with. The Professor had assured her that everything was correct and sorted and he ...

8 Aldair stepped onto the bridge on his small scale tour of the ship with President Havakar and her daughter. This wasn’t quite the final stop as they’d taken the entourage before they’d managed to have food on the liner so the last place to visit was Kirkwall’s kitchen. The Mican chef was currently...

7 “Good evening, old friend,” Hawle said, talking to the Osiran in his meeting room as the lizardman took a sip of the water, his throat bulging and the scales separating and coming back together as he swallowed. “How’s things?” The older Lieutenant Commander put the glass down and replied that thin...

6 Half an hour later, Hawle stepped down from the main teleport booth on the liner and held out a hand for Colleen, who took it before she stepped down. “I’m quite capable of stepping down by myself, Aldair,” the diplomat graced as she released the hand. The security officer stepped down as they wai...

5 Katara finished the work in her allotted console and gave it a final, quick, blast with her miniature extinguisher can to make sure it didn’t spark up again before she closed up. Behind her, Raston finished working on the cabling, which trailed along the floor and dangled on the wall as they were ...

4 Katara looked over her team. She’d chosen to leave her deputy, Januvitski, behind as it was bad form for the two seniors in a division to risk themselves on a mission so she’d taken Desty Rawell, the Salukan Canine who stood a full eight feet in height, Kirrie Muir the Mican and Mark Raston, her l...

Because its doubtful we will be seeing the aardvark (who I named "Arthur") in any capacity again once the comic gets rebooted, my hope that he ends up finding someone who can fall in love with him and be his soulmate is probably gonna be off the table. Same goes for Todd as I don't think ...

3 At the spaceport on Micanna, the Celican stepped around his cases and stopped at the large crate that comprised the results of thirteen years work at academies on Celica, Raitche and, for the last few years, here on Micanna.

Nice to see that things are starting off easy before we get hit with the seriousness and danger that this mission is going to present. Hawle better make it back in one piece.

2 Aldair and Sarina stepped out onto the bridge of the Loper as launch time approached. Hawle thought that was a hangover from a long past age as they never actually launched into anything these days, just turned the positioning engines on and wander away from where they’d been. But, before they got...
