The fire continued coming, but it seemed to be dying down. Or, more accurately, the guards who were producing it were dying off. The security team seemed to have perfect aim. There was, however, one more person with good aim. Garren. A shot whizzed right next to Dani's head. She gasped, recoilin...

"Computer, play Andy Warhol by David Bowie," Noah said as he and Amelia ran into the family quarters. "Mum and Dad listen to it all the time." The computer chirped, and the intro started to play. Amelia scrunched her face as she considered. "Oh, I remember it now." She flopped onto the couch. "H...

Quinn was waiting outside the pub, a PADD in hand when Houghton... Stace arrived. He had all the notes, along with his notes on Stace's notes—questions, and some defending rebuttals. It was really a great honor, but he would still defend his own research. It had forced him to do quite a bit more r...

"The holodeck is that way..." Corey continued to follow Diziara as he half turned, looking back at the junction where they’d just taken a left instead of a right. She laughed. "We're not going to the holodeck." She caught his hand in hers and grinned. He raised an eyebrow, but followed. "You sai...

"By the sacred chalice, who let the Death Kitten back on campus?" The cadets who recognized the voice of Lieutenant Commander Enwin Ilyad, the first year ethics professor, immediately straightened to attention in the semi circle they stood around the edges of the courtyard. In the middle, the two...

"Sean, you ever spot this place before?" Amelia grabbed her taller friend by the elbow and turned on a dime to duck down the alleyway toward the unassuming door and the simple wooden sign. It was all he could do to keep up with her as she drug him. "What place?" He extracted himself from her grip...

"Lieutenant." He sat behind the table in the briefing room as I entered, and I tilted my head ever so slightly to the left as I looked him over in evaluation. "You're not Sharad." A smirk pulled at my lips as I settled in the chair across the way from him, and his eyes met mine — blue-green not un...

All the planets just across the Orion border are the same. I have long forgotten which misbegotten hunk of space rock the cafe was on, but I remember the name — Malathaar. The sign was probably older than anyone on that moon, the flower it took its name from laser etched into it, but so faded that i...

Rik Caine had finished his shift and was returning to his office to slump down on his couch, pull a short from the barrel and get through yet more paperwork. He wondered to himself why anyone would voluntarily become Chief of the Boat. As he sidled into the room like a dusty lawman entering a saloon...

"What's a Dick like you, doing on a ship like this?" Amelia couldn't stop the words from tumbling from her lips as she darkened the door of his office. The Jazz that had spilled out when the doors opened had been on par with the holo-recording her brother had found and she'd just spent the last two...

After Commander Ivanova left, I tried to hold onto the momentum of the tea and conversation shared, attempting to focus on going to the holodeck to shed my frustration with some good old fashioned ass kicking. As I changed clothes, putting on a tank top, comfortable pants, and my converse, my though...

"Celestia and Luna," Diziara said as she nodded towards the twin blue skinned holograms that stood in front of her and Blue. His eyes and antennae trailed up and down each of them — one in white with a pastel rainbow peeking through from a lower layer of her white hair, the other in black with navy...
