  1. Now this should be interesting. I have my own guesses to what just happened and will wait to see which one pans out in the next chapter. Another good chapter!
  2. By 05:00 hours, I was already up and working through the reconnaissance of Seraph Sector as Albert brought me breakfast. The reports had shown what we had seen all along for this Sector. I finished breakfast and my report reading when Uncle Fran’s team had sent a preliminary report of their current findings to this point. I obviously found a ship design and building facility. The ship itself was an Auxiliary Warship of sorts. They were still looking into it. They also found an almost completed D

    Chapter 25

    That makes two of us. As I mentioned way back when... The difference between now and when I used to dive in the mid-late '80's is like night and day. A very sad sight.
  4. Christmas has come and gone. Emotional was the word for it. We had many people over for a farewell party. Lots of tears and hugs to go with the well wishes. I think Quinn was the most moved by it. I mean, we all had people we would miss, but I don’t think he really thought so many would miss him. Outside of his family, he was surprised. My mom was all packed, and the movers were coming on Monday. Our stuff was already moved to our new home a few weeks ago, and we had been going back and forth. O
  5. Fun in the snow... Nice to see Piqsirpoq helping Richter and Richter actually talking with each other. Slowly Richter learns the many things he will need in the future.
  6. Command Information Center Mining Vessel Bear Claws 19:32 hours. I stood by the HoloTable as I watched the action unfolding. “Incoming, Brace people.” I gripped the handholds as the shields took the force of the kinetic weapons. The ship rumbled from the strain as the armor absorbed what got through the drained shields. “Well, that scratched the paint. How long until the 18th can join us, Ron?” “On their way now. Should be less than two minutes.” “Good. We can’t
  7. Poor Richter. Allergies, cold. And surprising warmth by Qana. More history learned, still... Richter didn't further question about them/they. Another good chapter.
  8. I had just approached the Bridge when I heard the tones sound throughout the ship. “All hands to Arrival Stations.” I smiled as I entered the Command Center and looked around. I had chosen several experienced officers for my staff. Brian and Reggie were good, but I needed experienced people to pull this off and my mysterious friends in Intelligence had provided. Of course, the Link Cast News Reports were going nuts with the coverage of the Fleets amassing at the station. To my surprise, I had a
  9. I'm feeling Richter's dislike of the cold... Another wonderful chapter that slowly provides more clues to his background. A weakness needs to be strengthened or it can become an issue that can be exploited in the future.
  10. I didn’t sleep well last night, and I watched as the Black Haven moved into position on the docks. Opening up a Comm Link once they were secured to Captain Wynn. “Good morning Commodore. What may I do for you this morning?” “Good morning Captain. I have filed my formal orders, but I will repeat it verbally. As soon as Adam Knight is aboard and my staff moved off, you and the Cruisers are to get underway. Returning to Casi Oceanus at the best speed. Sa Knight has a Board meeting tonig

    Interesting account of the battle. Richter did offer surrender multiple times and they refused. A glimpse of Luther's caring attitude towards Richter with Richter tossing away his boundaries to be held by him. Another good chapter bringing out more of Richter's life history.
  12. Oh, my goodness Richter. Just lean over and let that tongue loose. You know you want it!😉 Another good chapter. Learning more about Momus and Aether. More questions for Qana.
  13. Damn... I was hoping the two would dance (Which can be defined however you would like.) and where is Momus? Running around causing mischief? 😉 Another good chapter.

    Chapter 17

    @wenmale64 I'm not sure if you are the first to recognize it, but you are the first person to point it out. You are correct about PTSD. Something that, unfortunately, many of us with prior military service are afflicted with. It shows up occasionally in my writings as large amounts of my inspiration for this series comes from my military service time. Even now, 34 years later, it still hits me on occasion.

    Chapter 16

    We are over a foot now. 27 degrees F and had some ice, now it's back to snow. Hope it stays that way for the next 8 or so hours the storm lasts. The joys of winter in the north.
  16. It just gets better and better for Richter. Qana teaching him life lessons. Richter having his first date... Life is looking up for Richter. Momus holding his tail as a sign of trust for Richter? Can't wait until the next chapter to find out if Richter and Aether use Richter's room as Qana will not be there...

    Chapter 9

    Jonah makes it to see James. One good night together and then he gets dumped. Will is the better choice, I think. Now to win the school vote for class president! Looking forwards to the next chapter!

    Chapter 16

    Yes. Expecting over a foot of snow, which has already started, to end in ice possibly. Makes for a good chance of no power tomorrow. We'll see.

    Chapter 16

    Opps...yeah. I'll have to edit that. Two sentences are missing because I made the change on the draft instead of the final.
  20. Two hours later, with too many disgruntle thoughts, Jones stepped out of the seat and I dropped in. I tapped a few commands and adjusted our course towards the Jump Bridge and dropped the cloak, raising shields. I tapped a few more commands and spoke. “10 seconds to Jump.” Seconds later I tapped the button, and we Jumped. We dropped out of Jump Space and I started tapping fast as the first challenge came in. Nelson went ridged as he saw all the challenges pop up on his screen. “Ah, C

    Another good chapter and more of the future with Richter's power increasing. His apparent like of black-furred canines...
  22. Evelyn’s Rock Command Center “Get the shields up and start locking up targets for the defense cannons. Charge the capacitors. Pull power from the industrial sections.” Evelyn was furious as she looked at her screens. Barbara Armstrong watched before she turned to Adam. “You better use the priority code and send a Comm to Marc.” Adam nodded as he punched codes into his Link. “Evelyn. I can’t get a signal out.” “They have us jammed somehow. Try the back channels, Adam
  23. Another good chapter! One step closer to Richter and Aether's... possible stay overs... Momus is the catalyst?

    Terminal 5

    As much as I was yelling Lock him up to the TSA personal when Jeremy opened the door, I feel Jake is right, they should have a good case against the airport as should the art exhibit itself.
  25. More intrigue during the selection process. Is Richter involved in this? I'm thinking yes. Stay overs... Another good chapter by @RedMoon!
