Two Days Later “It’s nice to meet you,” the boy said, shaking Izzy’s hand. “It’s nice to meet you…Ryan, you said?” Alex had been kind enough to escort Izzy into the city. Not that she didn’t think she could get there on her own – Atlantis wasn’t exactly big. Or at least, it didn’t used …

Chapter Six TCA: Sojourner by D.X. Machina
Lauryna entered sickbay, and was slightly surprised to see that it had undergone refit. It looked like the Sandava’s, for the most part, far sleeker than it had appeared when last she’d been here. “Crewmate Gwenn. Welcome back, ma’am,” Geoff said, with a curt nod. Lauryna chuckled. “We have the same number of squares, Doctor.” …
Chapter Five Titan: Sojourner by D.X. Machina
Nine Imperial Days Later “Crewmate Gwenn, you have a second?” Lauryna sighed internally. It wasn’t that she didn’t have a second. She just didn’t want to spend it with him. It wasn’t that he was bad. In her brief time on the Sandava, he’d been very pleasant. Hospitable. Federation hospitality, she thought, ruefully. No, Commander …
Chapter Four TCA: Sojourner by D.X. Machina
“All right,” Lauryna said, “so how long will this work for?” “With the power we’re using? About thirty minutes, forty-five, max. But that’s enough to confuse them,” Bres Gdiordo said.

Chapter Three TCA: Sojourner by D.X. Machina
The explosion jarred Lauryna out of her seat and onto the ground. It sounded as if someone had dropped a building on the bridge, one laced with heat and light and sound and anguish and pain. Lauryna bounced off the floor of the bridge twice, and she felt very much like staying there, but she …
Chapter Two TCA: Sojourner by D.X. Machina
One Month Later “Computer, run Program Gwenn Zeta-Three please, password…troublemaker,” Crewmate Gwenn said into the center console as she stood outside the unoccupied holosuite. She had just passed Commander Tam on the way, who by the looks of it was just coming off the high of a work out. If there was one thing that …
Chapter One TCA: Sojourner by D.X. Machina
Communication Chief’s Log, Gwenn, Lauryna SC3C ISS Tez Magilna MZK-01, Grelau 21-08-2109 I was not expecting to be promoted, and definitely not to end up on the lead ship of the Magilna class, patrolling Sector 25. And though I’m happy to be communications chief aboard the Magilna, I have Izzy with me every day to …
Prologue The Continuing Adventures: Sojourner by D.X. Machina
“I still don’t see why we’re using a human for this.” Engine-Fixer’s tail twitched in disdain; she really wasn’t sure New-Assistant-Systems-Fixer was working out. It wasn’t that she was bad at understanding systems. She was quite competent. It was just that she was a bit provincial. A crewmate has to be able to adapt to …
