It was different-looking water than what folks were used to drinking, dark and incredibly still, and lit beneath the surface by bioluminescent plant life that remained near-motionless as it sat, …

Chapter Thirty-One: Gathering Titan: Exile by Dann
Darren leapt from the bathing and self-grooming facilities his new home offered to the second level of the habitation platform where his bed and personal area was. He didn’t bother wrapping a towel around his naked midsection, but had done a decent enough job drying himself off, and had done his bunk mates the favor …

The sun had finished setting as Eyrn and Aisell walked down the worn cobblestone path from the residential district to the commuter transit depot.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Vise Grip Titan: Exile by Dann
Dr. Naskia Bass moved with haste down the school corridors, weaving in and out of congestion like a seasoned pro.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Full House Titan: Exile by Dann
The initial week of cohabitation went relatively about as smooth as it could have gone, which was perhaps about as smooth as a gravel road in an ice storm with three flat tires. Tapp and Degu didn’t get along, Degu was abrupt and confrontational, and Tapp was belligerent, vocal and rude at every possible interval. …

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Princess of Squander Titan: Exile by Dann
Bedra’s exuberant smile had been chopped down by recent events, but it was no small surprise that as soon as she had cleared the red tape and paperwork to pass back to the Adoption area, her smile had returned. Degu was occupied battling the tingling feeling that came with a fresh chemical bath, and was …
Chapter Twenty-Two: Tubby Twat and Dawwen Titan: Exile by Dann
“Will you tell me where were going already?” Aisell spoke with merriment in her voice as she was pulled off the domestic commuter shuttle to the very outskirts of the city center. “You don’t know?!” Bedra sighed with a longfull woe. “We only used to do this like every day!” Bedra smiled a little and …
Chapter Twenty-One: The Home Coming Titan: Exile by Dann
Two weeks and one day had passed since Eyrn had arrived on Titan station. The crowds had died down, the excitement and anxiety had faded, and she had settled into life on the station, much as she had life at Area 51. In fact, the routine was remarkably similar. She had people to feed her, …
