Sorcha carefully turned the crane’s beam as one of her colleagues guided the large residential unit on top of the ever growing tower. These towers were much bigger than the original units and couldn’t be done individually. The units were too big for a Titan to carry and needed to be rolled out, sideways down …

Chapter Twenty Nine: Time Flies when you’re Having Fun Titan: Hybrid by Openhighhat
Two and a half Titan months later… “How are we doing in here?” Sorcha asked walking into what was once the canteen of the Titan compound. For the last week it had been acting as a temporary shelter for around twenty thousand Humans who had arrived on the last transport and had no homes to …
Chapter Twenty Eight: Happy Birthday Titan: Hybrid by Openhighhat
“Here you go.” Sephonie said setting a mug down on the top of the control panel. “Thanks,” Duas said taking a sip and then winced a bit. “Why do you always make it so weak?” Sephonie let out an audible sigh despite expecting the comment. It was the same every night they were on shift …
Chapter Twenty Seven: Comparative Anatomy Titan: Hybrid by Openhighhat
Manka sat back in her bed, pad in one hand and abero in the other. She was watching a slightly time delayed v-ball game of her home team, the Wedney Wanderers, playing off against the Walak Warriors.

Chapter Twenty Six: The Board is Set Titan: Hybrid by Openhighhat
“I will certainly never turn down an invitation, Poron,” Scylane Rimosi said, “I am wondering why you wanted me to watch this with you, though.” Cesil chomped on a burnleaf blunt, and glowered at the viewscreen. “Lystar’s interviewing him.” “I know,” Rimosi said. “It should be fun to watch.” “Hmm.” Cesil poured out a kapskrasi, …
Chapter Twenty Five: Headway Titan: Hybrid by Openhighhat
“That’s good Jan, just take a little bit more time over each letter. Your grammar is perfect but your spelling is still a little off. Some look a little rushed and it can be difficult to make a few of them out.” Alesia looked over her roommate’s shoulder as she sat at the communal table …
Chapter Twenty Four: Uphill Struggle Titan: Hybrid by Openhighhat
“Loona,” Qorni called down the hallway. “Got a moment?” “Of course, Forna,” Loona replied, with the same saccharine sweetness. Qorni gestured to a huddle room – the one where they’d struck the deal to build a united government in the first place. Loona didn’t think Qorni intended to undo that now – she assumed if …
Chapter Twenty Three: Lessons well learned Titan: Hybrid by Openhighhat
Sorcha looked out over the city from her second floor office of the small Titan compound on the colony. It was rather spartan, even by Sorcha’s usual standards. The walls were cold metal as they were throughout the entire compound. There was no money in the budget to even add a basic aesthetic layer; the …
Chapter Twenty Two: Altered Perspective Titan: Hybrid by Openhighhat
Hab Lemescu waited patiently, watching the coverage of the riots on the viewscreen in the Floor Leader’s anteroom. Typical Imperial slant, going after the Federation for its provincialism. They were letting the Empire slip away, and tut-tutting the only people left willing to fight for it. Ah well, he was unsurprised. This was never going …
Chapter Twenty One: Run Titan Hybrid by Openhighhat
The morning of the rally dawned grey and windy, though it was comfortably cool, and no drizzle was forecast. Aranta and Jako had been pleased with this; mediocre weather usually drew the best numbers for rallies. If the weather was too bad, people stayed away; if the weather was too good, they found other things …
