“Hey!”
A rough hand grabs your shoulder and slams it against the wall of the ambulance, which doesn’t do much for either your burn or your general soreness.
Then that smelly breath is in your face again.
“What do you think you’re doi…
The drawing is beautiful, one of those where you can really sense the person it's of. Did Zola do it? I'm jealous. I don't have any skill in drawing. I can't tell if it's new or old. Does Zola really like Tabitha this much?
I pluck it from between …
Jek
Allright... So what is it about void waster tech that makes it vulnerable to your approach, Jek? Come to think of it, how in the world did you get away from them without having your own personality overwritten?
Go ahead and roll +Interface t…

Who indeed?
After a tense several minutes, Terci goes through some kind of convulsion... a seizure maybe. It looks painful. The monitoring instrument beeps a high pitched tone and the man across from you bends to check it. The one beside…
I watch them go a moment, something cold coiling inside me. I turn back to the room, look at Zola's 'side.' Time to find something... useful.
I move around the room, gently touching things, waiting for that sense of something connected.
I note the box Pax grabs and wonder at it. Junkie maybe? Zola makes her proposition and I narrow my eyes, annoyed. What's the deal between Zola and Tabitha? I don't trust Zola any further than I can throw her.
In response to Tabitha I shrug, my…
I glance at Pax, then past her to Zola. I step up to Tabitha looking her over, seeing the blood on her mouth.
“You fell.” I say, frowning. Why won’t she look at me? “Just wanted to… y’know, check.”. I look at Pax, though I don’t make any move to b…
It takes me a moment, feeling out the ships systems, but it works as I thought it would. I head for Zola and Pax's room... getting in one is never as hard as getting out.
I flip through the vid feeds twice... three times. I hesitate on Bea. Jeez. I'll have to make sure she doesn't room alone anymore. Nadja getting chummy with Ashlee? I frown at the sense of annoyance that crops up. I flip to Zola, Pax and Tab again..…
Bai
Her face softens a little.
"As do I. But if this... if these people are the rebellion, I cannot see giving up one monster for another."
She bows slightly.
"You will forgive me, Auntie. I regret that, despite my affection for you, I have …
Robynne
The ambulance isn't huge and both of the "medics" are back here with you with Terci in between. With the equipment, you're already a tad cramped so range shouldn't really be a problem.
Your evaluation of the tech and the slight shabbine…
She looks at you a long moment, Bai, considering. Then, finally, she nods.
"If you are confident, Auntie, we will go with your proposal... and I will provide whatever resources are in my power to grant that might help your plan to succeed." She h…
Robynne
A series of tones in your ear tells you what you already suspected. The signal to your implanted comm is currently jammed.
Your idea of hacking their comms is a pretty good one. How exactly would you go about that?I suppose you could als…
I scowl and flip through the video to find my roomie instead, though I'll stop on anything that looks interesting.
They're talking about Rafael Flores who indeed has a vendetta against the Commandant. That's not that surprising though, since a lot…
I’m glad Tabitha didn’t come back. She didn’t need to see this. I cried hard for about a half an hour then sat and brooded in that raw, stretched feeling you have afterward, punctuated by sniffs. I hate that feeling.
I realize I want something of …
Robynne
Well the park is very near the city center. Twenty minutes in an ariel vehicle like this going top speed is something like 150km, half that at more reasonable speeds.
In any case that puts a lot of things in range... everything from hosp…
Robynne
The man on Terci deploys a grav stretcher, suspending her body in it. A medical vehicle swoops in near you, an ovoid body with six repeller pods giving it a rather insectoid appearance, aside from the pale blue paint. A third member of this…
Jek
Kohaku's lips thin as she returns your look from behind Xuan, she gives the slightest shake of her head. You can read it clearly enough. Yes she did it. No she doesn't want Xuan to know.
What do you do?
Are you persuading her to your plan, Bai? She looks deeply ambivalent. What do you say to push her that last little bit? And go ahead and give me a facing adversity +Influence roll.
I watch them take Jace toward the door. I look down at the floor where he was laying and see the pool of blood from the arm. On some instinct I crouch and reach out to touch the blood with two fingers, then stand up looking at the red shiny fluid. …
A little part of me is horrified at Jace’s injury, but the bigger,louder part feels powerful. Rys barely registers as important.
“It’s his own fault, I drokking warned him, meathead! He decided to drokk with me anyway.” I snarl back at Mark.
I …
Look, I'm not speedball, but I'm not squishy either. We all have to exercise to maintain musculature. The speedball kids... Well that pretty much takes care of it? Me on the other hand... Gymnastics and martial arts. Now I'm not great... I mean my…
