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)”

7.6: 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.

7.1: 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)”
6b: Crimson Volition
Olive felt like he’d been picked up by a whirlwind, tossed around in the air for the better part of a week, and then gently placed back down onto the ground as if all was in order. Why? Because everything fell into place the next couple of weeks after the Watch’s attack so perfectly thatContinue reading “6b: Crimson Volition”
6a: Chance Ignition
New Ram City, Aries Run and hide, Olive thought—that was what Werner said right after admitting he knew of the secret Capricornian organization behind the assassination attempt. Ten out of ten. Still, there had been regret in the man’s eyes and guilt too. And… It was weird feeling concern coming from that man. A CapricornianContinue reading “6a: Chance Ignition”
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”
5.1: Chance Rejection
New Ram City, Aries Olive’s walk back to the royal palace was oddly filled with thoughts of Maria. He could only faintly see her in his mind’s eye. In a dark and dim cell with hands cuffed in chains, Maria sat without a smile. The very sight of her was unnerving. Betrayal must hurt. WhenContinue reading “5.1: Chance Rejection”
4.[]: Peacekeeper on the Verge
Wtorek Izsak first learned how to use a conductor at the age of eight. He grew up in a small, isolated, sheep-herding village called Okör embedded in the heart of the Great Lascaux Mountain that ran the length of Taurus’s eastern border with Ophiuchus. The only thing they knew of the war were the occasionalContinue reading “4.[]: Peacekeeper on the Verge”
