Twin Cities, Gemini The train ride to the Twin Cities was uneventful. The passage required two stops to switch train cars. One stop was at a medium-sized town in Pisces, and the second was at an outpost on the border Leo shared with Gemini. Due to the sizable distance between northeast Gemini and southern Capricorn,Continue reading “8.3: Werner’s Diligence (Rilassamento)”

8.2: Olive’s Stagnation (Accelerazione)
Sihyeon Villa, Sagittarius When Olive awoke on that cloudy afternoon, he knew that it was going to be a terrible day. There was a heaviness in his chest that squeezed tight—almost as if an anchor hooked onto his heart was dragging his entire body deeper, deeper down. With it weighing him down so heavily, theContinue reading “8.2: Olive’s Stagnation (Accelerazione)”
8.1: Cadence’s Honor (Disonore)
Twin Cities, Gemini “Why aren’t you saying anything, huh?!” Thuds resounded through the near-empty casino. “You just said you were going to talk!” Another thud. “A minute ago!” Thud. “So why!” Thud, thud, thud. “Are you so damned quiet?” There was a monstrous roar. “Talk, dammit!” Whistling, Cadence watched as a man was sent flyingContinue reading “8.1: Cadence’s Honor (Disonore)”
7.[]: A Terrorist’s Hate (Amore)
Re-cap:
Omicron, a leader of the terrorist organization ELPIS, encountered Jericho in the Twin Cities of Gemini several months prior. Somewhere along the way, she also came across Usian and former peacekeeper Wtorek Izsak.

7.6: Jericho’s Peace (Guerra)
Lepischau, Cancer “He’s going around back!” Jericho skidded to a halt as Talib’s voice echoed around the stucco alley walls. He glanced up and found a paper crane enveloped in dark blue light racing over his head. He chased it down the opposite end of the alley and into the backdoor of what appeared toContinue reading “7.6: Jericho’s Peace (Guerra)”
7.4: Maria’s Hunt (Cacciatore)
Onboard Gloria’s Grail, Piscese Waters When Maria opened her eyes, she found moonlight still spilling in through her window and her entire ship sounding as if it was still asleep. Only the creaks and groans of the wooden floorboards as the ship tilted back and forth and the occasional tap of the waves against theContinue reading “7.4: Maria’s Hunt (Cacciatore)”
7.3: Werner’s Efficiency (Esitazione)
Abschnitt 45, Capricornian-Argoan Border, Capricorn Thirty-four days after Major Ersatz’s arrest at the Capricornian-Aquarian border by the Ophiuchians, Werner and his unit were deployed back out to the southern border.

7.2: Cadence’s Family (Conoscenti)
Twin Cities, Gemini The synchronization meetings that Werner liked to hold at the beginning of each week were events Cadence actually enjoyed. But calling them meetings did them a disservice. Despite Werner’s attempts to keep things professional and controlled, they always unraveled into something resembling the chaos that graced cheap, late-night bars. Mostly in partContinue reading “7.2: Cadence’s Family (Conoscenti)”
7.1: Olive’s Bravery (Codardia)
Thousand Name City, Sagittarius “Chance, the minutes from last week’s meeting.” This was pointless. “Chance, if we don’t clarify what topics were discussed last week then this meeting and subsequent meetings will be meaningless. We need to understand what every person has been doing and what we will be doing in order to not interfereContinue reading “7.1: Olive’s Bravery (Codardia)”
7.0: A Broker’s Concern (Malignità)
Twin Cities, Gemini There was always “a word on the street” in the Twin Cities of Gemini. Always something big happening. Rumors, tall tales, gossip, and the like circulated through alleyways and late-night casinos like currency. Gossip for gossip, rumor for rumor. All done without an air of professionalism. Parsing through the truths and liesContinue reading “7.0: A Broker’s Concern (Malignità)”
