"What the?" Asked Airah as suddenly she was a in a featureless white plane, extending to the horizon. There was a peaceful, blue sky, but it looked subtly wrong. She looked to the side while pinging her mindlink, checking that Stellyra was indeed here with her, and-
"Apologies for the abruptness, but something has come up."
Airah looked at G as the woman exited some kind of portal.
"What do you mean? Where are we? What the hell is going o...

"You know, it feels weird for everything to be so peaceful."
Airah shook herself out of her reverie, before looking at the woman opposite of the table from her. Well, 'woman'. She was a hologram, a projection of an AI's digital avatar, but still.
"I beg your pardon?"
"Sorry, just reminescing. I had another surge of memories last night. Of the...

Hello everyone ! I think it's time to have a little chat.
For those of you that have missed my announcement on RR on The Fallen World : A Dungeon's Story, I have accepted the offer of a Publisher, Shadow Alley Press, and I have begun the process of turning my stories into proper novels for publishing.
This switch means several things for patreon. The first one is that yes, when the books are published (and ONLY when they are published) all chapters, bar the introductions, which ar...

Sarah sighed as she sat back in her command seat. The last week had been...eventful.
Not in the same way the previous ones had been of course. The arrival of the detachment from the Arrival Home Fleet had rendered the TRF's threat null and void. A handful more transports arrived at the hyperspace beacon, probably having been out of communication f...

Sarah looked in horror as plasma vented through the ship and the drone launch hatches. Even the ones they had closed were opened by the flow of superheated gas, the obstructing debris cleared in fractions of a second.
The silence was deafening, before Sarah swallowed.
"Elteria, Status?"
"They...I..." The AI took a shaky breath. "The escaping plasma is compatible with a gravitational fusion reactor overload, not...

"Stand by point defence!" Yelled out Sarah as she gripped the armrest of her seat.
Technically, the missile volley was vastly smaller than the cruise missile one they'd withstood only a few hours ago.
But this time they didn't have an entire fleet of Dominion ships to serve as decoys and protectors. They were alone. And even for the Seeker, a thousand missiles was a lot, especially with a point defence gun out of com...

Note : Chapters 54, 55 and 56 have been written as well, and will be posted in the coming days ! I wrote it all (9k+ words) in one single session, which is a new personnal record for me !

It had been forever since she'd gotten to do a coordinated hyperspace jump with a proper fleet. The fact that they were using her sensor data to do so also meant they were going to be a in much tighter formation than the Dominion would usually manage, ev...

X-18 'Jericho' Missile
The X-18, code name 'Jericho' missile, is an experimental missile design based on the observations and recommendations of EFSN admiral [REDACTED] after the second battle of Alpha Centauri, and has become the EFSN's answer to the UISN coming back from its ashes, and the strategic defeat at the third battle of Alpha Centauri.
The Jericho missile is a radical departure from all previous missile design. In effect, it is an entirely new branch. It is 80 meters lo...

Alright, so I already made a sort of announcement on RR, but I haven't made an official one here. So. I have been having trouble writing The Fallen World : A Dungeon's Story recently, to the point that there is simply no backlog left. I have tried to force myself to write chapter 78 and it ended catastrophically. Thus, until further notice I am putting The Fallen World : A Dungeon's Story on hiatus. Lore files will be posted weekly on RR for as long as I can, but that will most probably be it...

Hello everyone. You might have noticed there were no patreon chapters this week. Unfortunately there probably won't be any next week either.
The reasons for that are simple. Some of my neighbours, somewhere up in my tower, although even with the help of the HOA I can't fucking figure out where, are making so much noise it has become impossible to sleep throughout the night. If you want more details they'll be in the author's notes at the top of chapter 73 for The Fallen World : A Dungeo...
