Die Hauptstadt, Capricorn Viktoria Waltz knew she couldn’t achieve perfection. A recessive disorder that rendered her internal vitae flow underdeveloped stole that possibility from her.

16.1: Captain, 0500 Insubordination
Before Volker Weingartner was hauptmann of the 212th Division of the Border Force, he was a teacher at Vollmond Elementary.

12.2: A Duet Between a Soldier and Advisor
Twin Cities, Gemini Pulling Sefu closer to herself, Atienna tuned her ears to the sound of the small footsteps drawing nearer from down the road. Yulia sank to her knees, arms widespread.

11.5: Jericho’s (Dicotomico) Hatred
Twin Cities, Gemini Talib had many questions for Jericho when he arrived at Warehouse 13.

11.3: Atienna’s (Inverso) Heroism
Zatmeniye Caverns, Aquarius Atienna opened her eyes. The firelight was crackling half a meter away, highlighting her face in warmth while leaving her back in the cold.

9.[]-1 : A Soldier’s Promise (di un Amico), 1
Twin Cities, Gemini Gilbert Wolff had never been an overachiever. He’d never been an ‘underachiever’ either. Just an achiever. He didn’t really put much thought into it when he was younger but all the people he’d hung out with at the time thought he was ‘cool.’ Whatever that meant. Didn’t matter much when his mother’dContinue reading “9.[]-1 : A Soldier’s Promise (di un Amico), 1”
