-The Infacer to Jaus Avandaer 27-8 Behold the Nothing Several heads turned within the Manta. Cas, Denton, Kae’s template, Draus, and Avo remained unamused. Marlowe—tagging along in person for the first time—just laughed, gleeful and aglow at the novelty of her situation. One thousand and thirty kilometers above the city of light, the cadre observed a new frontier to occupy. The void—or Aside from a scant few Guilder drones and satellites skimming the dark, unable to notice the cloaked Aegis…-

-Quail Tavers when asked about children 27-7 Shaped by Another It felt like waking up after being drowned. Afterward, he was in the deep again, waiting for a moment to surface. Sometimes, there would be a period in which he would be aware of himself—sense his surroundings, feel the fluid touching his skin. He struggled to hold on during those times, but the waves always pulled him under as soon as he lost focus. Then he lost who he was again. He thought today was going to be another one of those…

-Jaus Avandaer The Midnight Path For hours, the uplift followed the girl up and down, back and across the stupid city several times, helping the stupid whining people who just couldn’t stop fighting each other. It was Instead of doing something more useful, like spending time hunting for plump a juicy vermin or offering scratches, the girl was consumed by the need to watch over these stupid, stupid people. And then there was all the whining and crying. The kitten paused and reconsidered that last…

-Osai Norogambe, Incubus 27-5 The Coming of the Hour More consequently, his position on the DeepNav shot from a gang-run megablock in the Spine of the Warrens to the Overhead, Avo spotted a massive organ composed primary of augmented gray matter. It’s been some time since he dealt with an exomath—since his Bone Demon sheath augmentation. Tendrils of flesh extended from it, and synaptic oscillations danced through its many limbs, splashing the room in intermittent flashes. A few in particular…

-Ying Yang Wei, The Stormsparrow Unknown Armies (II) Former Authority Uthred Greatling loomed over Green River while she sat behind her desk of polished wood. Parchments lined with skin and scribed by an instrument that was both brush and scalpel lay next to a half-filled cup of tea. Beyond the windows and walls, chirps of birdsong were joined with distant gunfire. New Vultun’s ambiance was a multilayered thing, as was the conversation the Sang was about to have. “And, how long did you shelter the…

-Maru Sandrupal and Samir Naeko 27-4 Unknown Armies (I) Draus ignored the thoughtcast piercing into the outer layer of her consciousness as she pushed her golem to full acceleration. The horizon was shrouded by a holographic veil, and moving strips of yellow and black censored all details happening within the span of three interconnected blocks. That didn’t really matter to her because she already had eyes on the inside. Pure pandemonium reigned within those eight hundred square meters. The…

-Purifier Mahata Kunnier, Ashthrone Rash Terrorists Stormjumpers was, like it was at all times of the day, completely filled with players. Divers descended upon myriad battlefields, carried by lightning bolts cast from their colossal dirigibles in waves. While some fought, the recently killed and newly joined mingled in their lobbies, waiting for their chance to begin the battle anew. And among their number was a player not so alike to all the others. They stood apart from all the others, content to…

-Famines of Defiance and Emotion Hidden Forces “So, one thing that’s been chewing at me,” Maru said, eyeing Avo from across the table. “How are we supposed to have our ‘trial of the century’ when our surprise witness got abducted?” Avo was expecting this question—more than that, he was looking forward to it. “Hello,” she said, empty of any enthusiasm. “Jaus!” Maru jerked, slamming his shoulder into Kare, causing her to bump into Denton. His gaze swung between Avo and Kae’s…

-Cala Marlowe, 27-1 Induction The future formed and broke around Avo in brittle streams. Chronology flowed like a construct fluid and glass, breaking and transforming with the shifting of variables. Combining Alysim’s fractured experience with what was stolen from Zein, Avo honed his temporal awareness as he applied his ascended cognition to read the currents of time. The tapestry came alive around him as Naeko’s palm dispersed. The Chief Paladin had teleported them back into New Vultun straight…

-Alysim the Wanderer 26-13 Anti-History “Let me reintroduce myself,” Alysim said, he patted the ragged clumps of hair protruding from his head back into shape as he sighed. “I am Alysim, the Wanderer. Alysim, Brother-of-the-Pasts-That-Weren’t to my fellow Chroniclers. Alysim the Mad Monk to the unfortunate to encounter me during my long exile across time.” He winked thereafter at Avo. “My deepest thanks for your restoration. Alysim. The Walker-of-Paths.” And as if to illustrate his newly…
