“What are your initial observations?”
Dr. Molly Simon folded her arms. “She’s… sad.”
Commander Scott blinked, turning towards the shorter woman. “Sad? We’ve just had a woman with no brain activity wake up and start moving around, and that’s your first read on the situation?”
Simon drew back slightly, even though his voice contained no reproach. “You wanted my assessment.”
He looked at her for a...

“Anything?”
Electra shook her head as she came through the door. We were in my office; I’d rushed back after the fire, but luckily no one made a play for Ishanti. Either it just hadn’t occurred to them, or they were still testing our defenses.
Really, I should just be glad they didn’t have the cajones to go for the gold.
“Nothing.” Electra spread her arms. “They weren’t subtle; there were plenty of boot pri...

I sighed at the sight of Accelerator and the mini-Misaka. It was just going to be one of those nights.
“Well girls,” I turned to my matching pair of Misakas, “ready to—”
“ ‘You must be the professor!’ says Misaka of Misaka with a big smile!”
I blinked, looking down to where the mini-Misaka was staring up at me with big eyes. She actually was wearing a huge smile too, unlike any of the other sisters. Now that...

“And, heave!”
The ropes creaked as a score of men pulled in unison.
“And, heave!”
Slowly, the mass of the ship began to shift, shifting forward in its drydock.
“And, heave!”
For a moment it seemed balanced, and then with a soft groan, it slid out of its cradle, sliding down the channel they’d cut for it and into the water with a massive splash. Whoops and cheers rose ...

With a groan, I kicked the door of my apartment shut behind me. The room was dark, a relief after staring at the screen for hours.
Running a club in Tokiwadai didn’t mean you could skimp in your ‘availability’.
I slouched forward, walking into the kitchenette. With a ...

Introduction:
First off, let me start off by saying thank you all for being here and being a part of my Patreon! I know things have been a bit slower recently, as I wrapped up the first book of Devil’s Foundry and took care of a few different things related to my writing and to my everyday life as well. But we are through that.
The last chapter of book 1 went live on Royal Road on Monday the 19th, and for Patrons, advanced cha...

The reward for good work is more work.
“I have the census data compiled, Lady Via.”
And that was only more true now that I'd unveiled my miracle.
“Thanks.” I took the sheaf of papers from Ishanti. “Christ, I've had these numbers for days and haven't had a chance to compile them.” The woman dipped into a smooth curtsy at my words, accepting the compliment.
We were in my ‘office’, a sma...

“So, you’re the heir to the throne?”
The young woman in front of me tried to hide a wince. “Seventeenth in the line of succession, yes.” She gripped her teacup with a fragile decorum, raising the simple brew to her lips. “This is quite fresh, my compliments to the chef.”
Electra put a hand to her mouth, holding back a giddy laugh. She was getting off on this whole thing.

“Now that’s a sight.”
I smiled at Electra’s words. “It’s a start.”
She huffed. “Never satisfied, are you?”
“No.” My smile grew. “I will never be satisfied.”
She gave me a complicated glance, before shrugging. “I mean, better than settling, I guess.”
The two workmen were a bit more shocked by the way I’d lit up the night, of course. This was… still just something small for me and ...

I shook my head as the two men stumbled, almost spilling the pallet of metal onto the ground. We were working with spools mostly, so it was no great loss, but winding them all again would be such a fucking chore. Still, even having metal wirewould be such a massive boon, once we’d gotten the infrast...

“You know.” I kicked my heels idly against Electra’s sides. “I always wished I could speak Spanish.”
Beneath me, hands clasped around my thighs, Electra huffed, though not from my weight of course. “Spanish?”

I returned to Silverwall to find the pieces all falling into place.
A runner handed me a note not a second through the Miner’s gate, shoving it into my hands while he made a flashy grab at my coin purse before darting off.
“What the heck was that?”
I glanced at Electra as the two of us slipped deeper into the city. It only took me a second to read the note, before I smiled.
