  1. I was saving it for this episode. Figured it would be a spoiler if I posted it earlier.
  2. It's this point where Hollis shakes himself off and realized he can do this. And I like his treatment of Guy, he's never seen Guy as disposable and has always treated him like a person.
  3. Ready for the big chair?
  4. The bridge of the Zodiac was a violent, unrelenting assault on the optic nerves. Captain Hollis stood perfectly still in the center of the command deck, his boots planted firmly in an attempt to find even a microscopic fraction of grip on the frictionless, hyper-polished floor. He was currently wearing his brand-new, corporately mandated compression uniform. It was a blinding, hyper-saturated command-red, woven from a poly-elastane fabric that clung to his torso with the aggressive, suffoc
  5. Fixed the West paragraph at the end. Lack of sleep got me there. Corrected now.
  6. Andrew can, at best, buy time. It's going to be rough, at least it is night, the Militia don't know exactly how many people are in there. And Will is lethal with a cutting remark...
  7. good morning
  8. 23:00 – Secure Briefing Room, Parliament Hill, Ottawa The subterranean secure briefing room buried deep beneath the limestone foundations of Parliament Hill was entirely insulated from the physical world, but Prime Minister Bob Hesston could still feel the bitter, suffocating weight of the February blizzard raging across the capital. It was a Sunday evening, the twenty-sixth of February, 2011, and the Canadian government was currently tearing itself apart from the inside out. He
  9. I recently dipped my toes into the Mystery Genre and let me tell you, I have a whole new appreciation for what it takes to write one of these. It is a completely different way of writing, and requires some impressive skills. Skills the authour's above have and display with their amazing books. Each of them are inspirational, and I want to thank those authours for their advice and guidance when I was writing mine. This site is a true community, and the lessons I learned from this journey are highly valued. And the kind words will stay with me. If you haven't, I encourage you to read some of these, they are truly amazing!

    Chapter 9

    Dimitri finds the dad he always needs. I won't spoil more
  11. production still of one of the Star Trek 2009 sets. NO WONDER it was so bright with all those lights! https://i.pinimg.com/736x/1a/2b/cc/1a2bcc23390f976ae3340b762293436e.jpg
  12. You're welcome. And I just finished episode 24 today... so lots to go. Season two is fun. There's a three parter "The Wrath of Karen" coming up. I also have planned another longer tale "The Search for Tweek" Which is in the planning stage. I am not sure how I want to structure a third season... I might take a break from it after TSFTweek
  13. The Execs over at Paramount+ figured out a way to shove more ad space into an episode.
  14. I do like how much Peter has grown up in the past few books from Line through to this one. And Barnaby the Dragon is a direct nod to @chris191070
  15. Someone should give JJ-Abrams that note. At least they won't die of Beige-overdoses
  16. Captain Hollis floated in a rare, untroubled state of unconsciousness. For the first time in what felt like a grueling, infinitely expanding eternity, his dreams were not populated by Amazonian cannibals, sentient compost monsters, or the crushing, existential despair of the Zodiac’s corporate beige carpeting. He was warm. The surface beneath his aching back did not feel like a hardened slab of recycled polymer; it felt like a cloud, yielding, supportive, and impossibly luxurious. The ambient ai
  17. 22:00 – The Palace Motor Pool, Eastern Wing The heavy, fire-rated steel doors of the palace motor pool offered a brief, deceptive illusion of sanctuary as Andrew pulled them shut, the heavy deadbolts engaging with a definitive, metallic thud that temporarily severed them from the chaotic, burning corridors. Inside, the air was entirely different. It was cool, subterranean, and thick with the heavy, industrial odors of refined motor oil, cured vulcanized rubber, and the faint, sw
  18. I just needed a way to cleanse my brain after the heaviness of Blackwater. Something dumb and fun... and let's face it Tweek is awesome in sauce.
  19. Sub-crewmen have to live in the lowest deck of the ship and clean the toilets.
  20. Hollis and T'Virith are on their way to becoming Frenemies.
  21. he's everywhere. Great guy from what I have heard.
  22. The quiet in the medical bay of the Zodiac was absolute, save for the faint, rhythmic dripping of a leaky condensation valve somewhere behind the beige bulkhead. Guy stood entirely still in front of the cracked mirror mounted above the bio-sink. He did not blink. He did not breathe. He just stared at his hands. For the past week, those hands had emitted a pulsating, highly radioactive teal bioluminescence that cast harsh, undersea shadows across everything he touched. It had been a terrify
