Ephialtes

Chapter 2 - Routines The frantic beeping of David's comm-dev woke him for the umpteenth time of his first week aboard the Life's Pride. By now he knew not to grumble or attempt to shut out the sound as he had done the first few times, raising James’s ire. Instead he merely slid out of bed and tapped the button on the device to inform his boss that he was indeed now awake. He was already dressed as he had learnt that taking the time to put clothes on was not acceptable, and it was sleep clot

James Teegan awoke slowly in his bunk aboard the Life's Pride, an Explorer class starship bound for Europa Station. He unwrapped himself from the thin blanket that was partially covering his semi-clothed form. It took a while, as he'd thrashed around a bit in the night and tangled himself in it. Eventually freeing himself, the twenty-two year old engineer swung his legs over the side of the bunk and silently dropped the short distance from his upper level bunk to the floor, bending his knees to

A case in which the royals are more in touch with the people than the government.

Yeah, but you guys get to have someone who makes all the decisions for the Queen and all that (the most recent of whom I believe is Canadian from what I was told when i was out there?). Which is good for you guys, because y'know, I think you'd rather have someone who lives there to tell you what you can and can't do

I'm just so very glad it didn't foam up again like that one year (I forget which...)
