( ) Werner’s idea was working—as always. Werner continued to work together with Olive and Atienna on something Olive called ‘predictive modeling’ and Werner ‘strategic modeling’—charting out all the possible locations Alpha could appear using Jericho’s ‘data’ from Ophiuchus to cross-reference everything. They also threw in orphanages with the word ‘Primera’ in their name toContinue reading “25.3: Swindler & Mentiras “

24.3: The Soldier & Conductor in Brumosa Light
In-transit, Taurusian Waters, Alpha’s (Stolen) Vessel “Alpha, Nu and I’ve been running around all of Signum trying to avoid Iota and now you’re asking us to pick up more children?” Alpha smiled pleasantly and shrugged. “It’s up to you, Rho. The choice has always been yours.” Rho hummed to herself as she listened to theContinue reading “24.3: The Soldier & Conductor in Brumosa Light”
23.4: Pirate—A Truel, Estellar
Onboard Gloria’s Grail, Leonian Waters Maria greeted the morning rays seeping through the porthole of her ship with a grin and a stretch. Lita groaned from beside her as the hammock they’d been sleeping on swung with the motion. Maria in turn bent over and squeezed the girl’s cheeks before popping out of bed. TheContinue reading “23.4: Pirate—A Truel, Estellar”
23.3: Soldier—An Infiltration, Mirando
In-transit, Capricorn The cold and dark sleep clung to the recesses of Werner’s mind as he awoke. He lay still for a moment on his thin mattress as he stared up at the low-ceiling overhead and felt the rumbling of the train pass into him through the bed-frame. Light permeated the small room from beneathContinue reading “23.3: Soldier—An Infiltration, Mirando”
22.3: The Soldier & The Black Orden.
Die Hauptstadt, Capricorn Hauptmann Werner Waltz always started his mornings by going over the 7-day itinerary he composed at the beginning of each week. One, seven days a week, 0430 hours: awaken. Most nights he slept in his office located in the Mueller Building in the Military District-turned-Resources District to cut transportation time: the apartmentContinue reading “22.3: The Soldier & The Black Orden.”
21b: Hidden Faults
“Congratulations, Hauptmann Waltz,” Acting Kaiser General Watzmann said. “You’ve done well. Capricorn thanks you for your service.” Newly promoted Hauptmann Werner Waltz stood at attention as the general fixed a medal in the shape of a thirteen-pointed star over his chest. Werner stood now in the late Kaiser’s office with Kleine, Bergmann, Brandt, Stein, andContinue reading “21b: Hidden Faults”
21a: Indigo Waltz
Die Hauptstadt, Capricorn It still wasn’t clear to Werner what made him do it. Was it his reminiscing of his subordinates standing at attention before him in that dirty clinic in the Twin Cities as he asked them for their trust? That went both ways. Was it Ludwig’s words—“Trust your instincts”? Was it Generalmajor’s vonContinue reading “21a: Indigo Waltz”
20.4: Soldier » Duty/Lunacy
Die Hauptstadt, Capricorn Feeling a familiar sense of deja vu, Gilbert stared at the bars of his cell. Captured. Again. At least it was on home turf this time. The cell was cleaner, larger, better furnished, and all that. Or maybe that was what made it worse— A loud metal clang abruptly scraped against hisContinue reading “20.4: Soldier » Duty/Lunacy”
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”
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”
