Tears fell down her face as she mumbled in a half sleepy voice, "Ethan, you finally woke up?" Ethan felt a sense of guilt for having thoughts for such a pure woman. He was about to say something when Scarlett completely woke up from her drowsiness. Her eyes widened as she exclaimed in a low voice, "Ethan why are you moving like this?!" She didn't let him speak and hurriedly got up and carefully led him back to the bed. Ethan tried to get up and his stepmother gently tried to push him back, when he…-

At midnight, Ethan woke up, rubbing his eyes as he yawned. "Finally, that cateater is out," he muttered to himself. Suddenly, a voice spoke in his head, its tone pleasant and sensual. The voice corrected him. Ethan rolled his eyes and chose not to respond. He remembered the dull first few days of his new life. Ethan had slept most of the time, but when he was awake, he would casually flirt with Sasha, such as asking her out for a meal on a later date. He used the excuse that he wanted to repay her,…

Recalling the dream that seemed way too real, Ethan hurriedly asked the system to do something as he gazed at the nurse who had just entered the room. "Of course," Ethan replied, frustration clear in his voice. Ethan felt his energy being drained as the nurse approached him. She asked if he was okay and if he needed any assistance. But before she could finish her sentence, time came to a halt and she froze in place. Ethan saw a timer counting down a minute on top of her head and realized that the…

Ethan Chase had always been a man driven by his own desires, willing to do whatever it took to get what he wanted. But as he lay on top of the building, staring up at the starry sky, the weight of his own regrets felt crushing. He had hurt so many people, all in the pursuit of his own pleasure. And in the end, it had brought him nothing but pain and emptiness. The sky above was a canvas of twinkling lights, each one a reminder of the endless possibilities that lay beyond. But as Ethan gazed up at the…

- with a nod to the masters of space opera: J. Michael Straczynski, Larry Niven, David Brin, E.E. (Doc) Smith, Iain M. Banks, and, of course, George Lucas. My thanks. And my apologies. - Frank Herbert, author, late 20th Century Earth ----- So it was at the end of the twenty-fourth century (according to the Earthers’ calendar) a kind of peace was realized in the Galactic Federation, as well as a long season of prosperity and growth. This would not have been possible if the treaty negotiations…

By the time the Tiros Emperor capitulated, they had long since finished interrogation of all the captured Detterex spies onboard Colossus, all at the hands of the Earthers. By that time, all the information they would ever get from the spies they already had, and they discovered a few things: first was that the individuals they had captured were not really part of a coordinated espionage operation, that they were only employed by individuals that needed specific information from the Federation; second was…

Mia and Sahsha disembarked via the Admiral’s Barge, and headed for their newly-reclassed “embassy.” Nick met them halfway and they had a short confab in the hallway. It wasn’t necessary to be briefed since they were updated so, instead, Nick insisted on visiting the Elyran Embassy so that he could personally greet the new heirs apparent. Mia and Sahsha were game so they decided to pass by the Embassy. It was the equivalent of midnight onboard Colossus, so the halls and passageways were…

Naturally, of course, the news was also received on Earth. And after in-depth consultation with the leadership, and a long consulting session with Mumu, Pinpin and the Telcontari ambassador (Mumu and Pinpin were beside themselves in excitement), Secretary-General Romarkin informed Nick, and Mia later on, that the Earth had decided to accept the role. Nick was to announce this decision during the next Assembly. As of that time, the Elyra-bound ships had reached the end of their short, three-week…

As the five Elyran cruisers from the Colossus squadron and Mia’s Fifth Fleet of combined Earther, Elyran, Dixx and Arachnian cruisers (minus the Hermes) started to fall into formation prior to their departure for Elyra Prime, alarms blared onboard Colossus. Early-warning buoys had detected a fast-moving unidentified object. The warning was extremely delayed because none of the Federation and Earther detection systems were able to pick it up. Only the buoys that used visual tracking were able to detect…
