Friends In Low Places
Jack hadn't expected Mo'Ona to even know of the Last Stop Staryard, the place was either a mythical legend to those that had either heard tales of the deadly repository or an off-limits deathtrap to those that knew the truth. However, he found himself...
Racer's Heart, Racer's Pride
Opulence was something of a rarity beyond the reaches of the megacorporate dominated systems near Sol. There, where Council and conglomerate money shone as bright as the stars themselves, did Roarks flow like wine into the visual affluence of those...
The Vents
Lix wasn't a stranger to violence per say, however her experience in the realm of death and injury was indirect. A flaming explosion after a collision or slamming her vessel into an asteroid, something born by accident or failure of skill at the flight...
Kobold Krafts (in the wind)
It was official. As of today, Yelz had been in Alysia Central Emergency Hospital for the same amount of time as she'd lived in the cozy walls of Patricia's Palace. Perched upon the rail at the end of her bed, Yelz tilted her head back and gurgled, tiny...
Convoy
Fire was something of a scared entity to humanity, less of a form of energy and more of a symbol. Other species didn't quite understand it, but historians chalked it up fire being the initial steppingstone in humanity's technological growth. From those...
Mad Jack
Asteroid Racers were no strangers to chaos, to the mind-numbing tumult of death and destruction dealt at the precipitancy of lightspeed. Such was the nature of the game, their daring race through rings of stone and against each other's grit and hopes....
Hoodrat Shit
Lix had thought that planning for a heist into a gang infested hanger would be exciting, like in the movies! Low lights and cigar smoke, hard liquor poured over rocks while rough and tumble men, one being her sexy mechanic, leaned over a table and...
Blindside
To say Jack carried a colored past was to border on facetious at best and disingenuous at worst. The man had fought a war on his own home front, seen the very planet he'd spent his youth upon turned into a machine of war, ran from his people's...
Kobold Krafts (on your day off)
"Yelz sleep? Yes. Kolky will wake her up! Yes!" "Weny wake up with chirping. Yes." "Birds chirp in the morning! Yes." "Yes. Mom on soon!" Yelz grumbled as the cruelty of the waking world returned to her, dragging her...
The Yulpa Circuit
"A great cycle to you all! I'm so enamored to have what feels like _half the galaxy_ join us for the first race of the Seventy-Fourth Galactic Asteroid Racing League!" Across the stars, trillions upon trillions of souls tuned in to forget their woes...
Kobold Krafts (on the roof)
_ **KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK** _ "Hbuh, wuh?" Drool connected the pink scales of Yelz's lips to her nearly flat pillow as her head rose, bones popping in protest. _ **BEEP BEEP BEEP** _ For those who work night shift, who burned the...
Kobold Krafts (...)
Three days. Yelz had been whittling away her claws upon a keyboard for three days, locked away in her office at Wild Gregs. Numbers rolled in the kobold's eyes like syrup, seeping past a brain that was slowly turning to mush and pooling around...
