Standing in the cargo bay of the ship, gun in paw, numbness gripped my limbs. A spate of nightmares had plagued me throughout the journey, though they’d started in earnest on Venlil Prime. I often saw Marcel being held at gunpoint, or with an Arxur bullet drilling into his helmet. The fiery stampedes on both the cradle and ...

Day 33 - The Verdict
When Mynek told me the death penalty was a “controversial” issue on human turf, I found that assertion comical. Such claims were an obvious cover-up of the rampant executions t...

The days since the raid against Venlil Prime had climbed into the double digits; ten days ago, every rescue learned the Gaians’ dark secret. I could recall the panic of being rushed to a bunker, by a predator whose name I didn’t even know. There were thousands of them packed in my vicinity, beady eyes glistening in the darkness...

Proxima Centauri was the site of many human endeavors, which I had guessed due to its constant ship activity. The nearest stellar system to Sol had once been where the Zurulian hospital fleet amassed, to tend to an ailing Earth. Now, it was a bastion of human ships and drones; rapid deployment was possibl...

This was my human’s first visit to Venlil Prime, and for that matter, to any alien world in a non-military capacity. Tyler and Onso tagged along on our escapade, along with Virnt and a miserable Birla. The Tilfish child’s outburst unnerved me, until I remembered Marcel’s words about people who were harmless, but differ...

There were three new additions to our personnel, as we departed from Sillis. The UN fleet caught wind of an incursion on Venlil Prime, alongside every other allied race; the Venlil Republic’s homeworld was as valuable to them as one of their own colonies. Humanity couldn’t weaken the strength of Sol, bu...

The fact that my appearance horrified Felra left me shaken; the primal rush of adrenaline quelled to something manageable. Bullets assailed the room’s wall, as I was cornered alongside a Dossur and a near-blind human. The unconscious Kolshians, whose legs I had broken, were tied up to a desk as well. Ol...

My shuttle traversed the space that separated me from my alien pen pal. The eight thousand Dominion ships I’d summoned had arrived as well; those were the assets I had within immediate range of the Dossur homeworld. The Arxur fleet awaited my command, requiring further instruction as to our goal.

A diplomatic resolution to the battle of Sillis didn’t solve all of my problems. Regaining organization, as well as finding places to pool a fleet without infrastructure, mandated a bit of time.

It was obvious that the human was resisting the urge to comfort Haysi; even while the Venlil rescue was immobilized, her eyes screamed misery. Sara acted as my support pillar, giving me the courage to peer out the window. The Venlil capital had been plunged into chaos, with a free-for-all dash to the bunkers. Erratic driving was ra...

Negotiations with the Duerten Homogeneity were ongoing, though the last three days all ended the same.

For once, I wished for darkness to overtake Venlil Prime’s forsaken sky. The gray gloom overhead was best we could get, as a deluge descended from the clouds. The rain soaked into my clothes, chilling me to the bone. One arm hugged my trench coat tighter, while another hand clung to the Venlil liquor.
The powerful booze wiped away the aching ...

The war activities occupied the vast majority of my schedule, which was packed with diplomatic meetings.

It was tough to cope with my proximity to this predator and his Venlil pal. I was standing just within the room’s threshold, and resisting the urge to flee. Binocular eyes were trained on my skull; it felt like they were burning holes in my head.

The truck bumped along the road, carting me to yet another human infestation. A young Tilfish had been commandeered to ferry me around; the government ensured my ease in traveling to the predators. Nobody else wanted to be surrounded by them, banking their lives on Terrans never losing control.

The Farsul doctor tested the straps on my chair, and ensured they were tight around my wrists. I felt the electrodes against my skull; that was the word the alien used, at any rate.

The Prophet-Descendant had grown irritated, as Shaza’s spectacle dragged on at Sillis. The female Chief Hunter had failed to mop up the human remnants; she had sacrificed her entire sector, and not even taken the planet she lost her assets to capture. So when Giznel summoned me to a physical location, I figured it was fo...
