Project: Eternity - (6) A Brief History of the Galaxy
“I guess I should start right at the beginning, huh? The Aeteri, my species, were the first that we know of, to venture past our solar system and into interstellar space. Our first FTL drives weren't much to write home about, barely twice light speed....
Project: Eternity - (4) Introductions Redux
Sam’s head hurt. It hurt more than he had ever felt before, and that was saying a lot. Hell, it hurt more than that time he got blackout drunk with that chick he once knew. He gingerly opened his eyes, expecting to see the roof of his bedroom above...
Project: Eternity - (2) The Meteor
A fire was crackling in the corner of a dimly lit room, its radiant warmth doing its best to fight back the winter chill. The light from the fire was cast upon the walls of the wooden cottage, illuminating framed paintings hung upon the walls, the...
Project: Eternity - (9) Judgement Day
Sam slowly opened his eyes and stretched luxuriously; he really, really needed this holiday. He rolled over and slowly opened his eyes, expecting to see the wooden walls of his cottage, but finding only steel-grey bulkheads. He blinked a few times as...
Project: Eternity - (11) The Voyage to Kaara

Project: Eternity - (12) The Council
The voyage to the Aeteri homeworld of Kaara was, for the most part, pretty uneventful. Sam had dedicated every moment of his free time to studying the technologies that made the _Gladius_ work, and it was truly intriguing stuff. He barely slept too,...
Project: Eternity - (17) Stakeout
The journey to the central markets of the city took the better part of half an hour, during which Feo and her team made their way through most of the slums. Their landing pad was obviously one of the lesser-priority ones, situated about halfway between...
Project: Eternity - (3) Introductions
Tactile sensations were the first thing to come back to Feo. Everything felt soft, warm, like she was laying on top of a warm cloud. She felt a heavy weight on her body, but gosh, was it so comfortable! Her ears flicked as she caught the sound of that...
Project: Eternity - (14) The Voice in the Code
Sam was quiet on the tram as they made their way towards the science districts. At this time of night, it was all but deserted, resulting in an eerie feeling of isolation. Sam glanced over at Feo who was silently staring out the window, lost in...
Project: Eternity - (1) Emergency Stations!
A lone ship, barely big enough to be a classed a frigate, was orbiting a solitary gas giant with its discharge vents extended. Every so often, flashes of electricity jumped between the ship and the atmosphere of the planet, as the static charge built...
