22.6: The Peacekeeper & The Candidata—
Serpens Establishment, Ophiuchus “Jericho…?” Ophiuchian Peacekeeper Jericho stood stiffly in front of the woman prostrate on the couch. There was a heavy, sticky, sweet smell lingering in the air.

19.5: Outsiders, 2400 Log Close
Die Hauptstadt, Capricorn Nico wasn’t quite sure what happened. One moment, he was trying his best not to eavesdrop on Jericho’s, Doctor Kingsley’s, and Francis’s conversation; the next he was mentally preparing himself to use a proto-conductor containing superhuman vitae on Werner’s body; and then the very next moment he was suddenly blasted backwards byContinue reading “19.5: Outsiders, 2400 Log Close”
19.4: ELPIS, 2315 Reason
Die Hauptstadt, Capricorn “Here.” Rubbing his wrists, Jericho looked away from the sign hanging on the back wall that read Schutz #45. Alice stood in front of him, holding a towel.

19.3: Peacekeeper, 1500 Annihilation

18.⭑-2: Saint Candidate, ∞ Schadenfreude
Talib Al-Jarrah knew he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth—granted, it was quite a bitter spoon.

18.[]: Peacekeepers, 2350 Verdeckt
Alice’s fascination with the human mind had developed at an early age. Of all the books her parents could’ve grabbed for her as they’d fled their mansion to the shelter during the wartime bomb raids, they had gone ahead and selected neurology and psychology encyclopedias from their library’s top-shelf. How they had thought this bookContinue reading “18.[]: Peacekeepers, 2350 Verdeckt”
18.4: Beasts, 1800 Raid
Die Hauptstadt, Capricorn Maria loved the taste of the ocean. Sometimes when she was on still waters on the ship, she would scale down the side of the hull with rope, dip her fingers into the lapping waters, and lick her fingers of the salt.
