9.3: Werner’s Stand (Crollo)

Twin Cities, Gemini  Werner was surprised when Nico delivered to him and Oberst Fritz von Spiel the news that they were to have the meeting with the Romanos and the Foxmans at the end of the week. It was good news as it indicated progress, and it was their reason for being in the TwinContinue reading “9.3: Werner’s Stand (Crollo)”

8.3: Werner’s Diligence (Rilassamento)

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)”

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.

7.1: 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.

5.3: Waltz Lock-on

Abandoned Town, Capricorn  “What the hell is going on here?!” Cadence repeated. Sequentially, the events leading up to this moment where Werner found himself now bashing in the head of one of the soldiers Ersatz had brought along with him had been simple. When the major had reiterated that they were to take on theContinue reading “5.3: Waltz Lock-on”

3.3: Waltz Trigger

Abandoned Town, Capricorn  Werner had never been a fan of cigarettes, natural nor conductor-based. He’d never understood the novelty of them nor why their usage was so popular. The smell was unpleasant, the ashes from a fallen stub easily ruined the bottom of leather shoes, and the smoke always clogged the air. He never madeContinue reading “3.3: Waltz Trigger”

2.3: Waltz Aim

Wechseln Woods, Capricorn  Werner pulled out his pocket watch and flipped it open. It was hard to read in the setting sunlight dispersed by the brambles rising around them, but he could still make out the hands. They’d been walking for exactly eight hours, thirty-two minutes, and twenty-two seconds since they’d set off from theirContinue reading “2.3: Waltz Aim”

1.3: Waltz Target

Capricornian–Aquarian Border, Capricorn  The first vitae bolt that took a life had come from a conducting äußerer Blitz 43 rifle. The release of a Projector’s conducted vitae was deafening even in the midst of the battlefield, but the bolt that came from his barrel had been soundless. The man’s name tag had read Anton. HeContinue reading “1.3: Waltz Target”
