Heist (Chapter Two) by D.X. Machina
“So why a human habitat? Why collection gear?” Liss sighed heavily. She knew the peacekeepers on Vorsha weren’t going to let her go without an inspection. “As you can see, I’m running cargo. Farm on Nivselana needs this habitat to ship their humans, needs the collection gear because humans are clever buggers. Here’s the paperwork.” …
Heist (Chapter One) by D.X. Machina
2113 MA (2084 AD) “Norvsekal? Really, Margu?

Chapter Ten: Phone a Friend Tales of Avalon: Training Day, by Dann
Raymund stood his ground as the distant figure grew larger, and more imposing with each stride of her long legs.

Raymund finished his third round of the barbican, from the northwest tower, to the far northwest.
