Date: 9th March 2395 Location: MMV Tallinn The bright white light of the medibay ceiling burned when I opened my eyes. My whole body tingled incessantly, every cell seemingly vibrating independently. The ringing in my ears was deafening and however hard I tried I couldn’t seem to move an inch; a small message displaying in my mind that my neural link was overriding my body and preventing me from moving. For several long minutes I lay paralysed, only able to open my eyes for a moment bef

Date: 2nd April 2419 Location: MMV Noah, Unknown “Transferring power to the core.” Crewman Long announced in the crowded control room that had over the past few months evolved into the ship’s bridge. For all that time we had been sat, dead in space in the middle of the asteroid field where we had ended up after the emergency jump. Thanks to the efforts of the three surviving pilots and Ensign Bodgit’s engineering crews we were back up to normal power levels. Unfortunately without any main

Pretty damned awesome, I think I prefer the GFX in the game though...

Awesome video. Properly scary stuff at times, especially the first part...

Chris1, C1 etc. Short, easy. WTH does he call them if simplicity if dorky?

Date: 9th March 2395 Location: Tiger Debris Field, 3,000,000KM from Europa Colony “Pointman, Cadet.” I called over the radio from my Dagger. Ever since Lieutenant Cole had started calling me Cadet, it had stuck and now everyone used it as my call sign. Eventually I gave up fighting and accepted it; I would at least get a chance to start with a clean rep at the academy meaning I would be able to choose a new one. “Cadet, Pointman go ahead.” Cole’s voice returned from the tinny system.

As technology moves on, we're getting closer and closer to the time where money as we know it could get abolished, and those dozen cards we carry around in our wallet could be simply gotten rid of. The technology for an electronic economy, and the replacement of cards already exists and is in very widespread use; the RFID chips used to chip pets contains a serial number which, when entered into a given database, will pull up medical and contact information. The way I see it, this technology is prime for exploitation in humans too, think about it, if you had a chip implanted in your wrist, the things that the infrastructure is 99% already in place to do; No more keys; many office buildings already use RFID cards for access control. With a system like this in the home too, you just register your chip with the unit and you'll never need to carry a key again. No more cash or cards; My new card has an RFID chip embedded in it. At certain places I can wave it across a payment machine and presto, I've paid for stuff. On a small, easily lost card I hate this idea, but for a chip embedded in your wrist? Much harder to lose. Public transport; In London, the Oyster card lets you take public transport all day without handing over a penny. Swipe the card over the pad and you're done; this is, again, RFID. No need for ID; Driving licence, passport, proof of age, and a multitude of clubs and other IDs. Lose them and with a wave of your wrist, people will get a nice easy true or false confirmation as to whether you are allowed somewhere. Medical care; Some people wear bracelets to alert medics to allergies or previous problems. This system is already in use for pets, where you scan them and up pops all the animal's medical data. Why not do the same for humans and make life easier for everyone? I'm a staunch supporter of bioenhancement through technology, so if this were offered, I'd be first in line, but would you do it?

Date: 4th December 2418 Location: ‘Bee-03’ Mining Shuttle, Asteroid Belt, Unknown “Two point one.” I announced as the sensors finished analysing the eleventh asteroid we’d flown to. So far they’d all been less than a four on the mineral analysis, barely worth the effort of mining and refining them. If it carried on like this though we would be forced to settle for the low quality rocks here, anything would be better than nothing. “We’re down to about one hour of air.” The Lieutenant’s v

Dual timeline story following the commander of the MMV Noah, a prototype Arc class vessel and a protege pilot attending his first year at the Academy.

Date: 9th March 2395 Location: Schooling Complex 159-A, Europa Colony The sound of the buzzer signalling the end of class was the first sound I had really taken notice of since we came into the lab. Quantum physics was my least favourite subject; I did just enough to pass and nothing more. With three weeks to go it wouldn’t be long until I never had to think about it ever again. Astrogeometry was next, on the other side of the school compound; from my worst subject to one of my best. It

The story is now up to chapter 14 at O1.

After a *fair* bit of time, the story is now up to chapter 10, and is available on both Orbital-One and Codey's World. www.orbital-one.co.uk

Noah, my new Sci-fi is up at Orbital-One and will soon be up at Codey's World. The first 5 chapters are online, and more are on the way.

Chapter 10 is up, after a...short delay

It looked good but was the net equivalent of the SPAWN OF SATAN.

The new, improved design Orbital One is now online. This version should be far better for lower resolutions and far easier to read. As well as the new design, Graeme and TheZot have joined the station's library with their stories New Brother and Yankee. www.orbital-one.co.uk

Chapter 9 - Declaration of War is now up on Orbital One.

Chapter 8 - History is now up on Orbital One.

Ok the site's back up (this time on a fire-protected server ) www.orbital-one.co.uk

Chapter 7 is up Also, 1-6 have been re-edited. www.orbital-one.co.uk

Corrine S's story The Graschels of Guenther Street is now live on Orbital-One.

Orbital One is now online Content is the same as the old one, i got a few authors and stories on there, along with a few funny videos. Anyone got thoughts/opinions?

^Breezeblocks As for the colour scheme, that was just a scheme i liked I'll be launching my new site tomorrow tho, so no more yellow & black.

Chapter 6 is up.
