It felt strange to utilize a sideswim again, rather than walking around. Water was very much tied to Bissems’ relaxation, as evidenced by the flotation tank salons that passed by on every street corner. Sitting at home, watching the livestream broadcasts, had proven unconducive to my recovery. The screens were all too happy to plaster the...

I could feel the eyes of every herbivorous diplomat on me, noting how I’d replaced Kuemper at her mantle by the podium. My shoulders felt heavy from the knowledge that I’d have to stand before the Sapient Coalition, and announce that humanity was behind the heinous, genocidal attacks. Telling Ambassador Korajan that Kalqua ...

The people of Tellus gathered in the public square, which the Trombil had established; of the aliens present, it was mostly inquisitive Krev waiting on the arrival of the new babies—that shipment was running late. The humans, especially the paler ones, had to wear sunscreen to avoid being baked to a red, flaky crisp. How vulnerable they were to...

Whatever grievances Bissems might’ve held against the humans, we knew they’d pursue the rogue Farsul that Ambassador Loxsel had told us about. The full might of the SC, raining down on the ghost exterminators, was exactly what Naltor would like to see. Perhaps it would allow a sense of cohesion, after the horrific scene that had played ...

The stupid bird sat outside my prison cell, playing solitaire—a human game—from what I could see through the window. The bed and the smart-television were lavish comforts compared to what a predator would’ve gotten under prey species’ watch; they’d stripped the clothes off the back of the first Terran prisoner they...

Hi everyone! After two and a half years without a pause or missing a single update, I’ve decided to take a very brief respite to plan Act 3. After chapter 72, the next two main chapter days (Monday and Thursday) will have a pause. Side content will still be released like normal, and 73 will be dropped after a week off. I feel terrible slowing down, but everyone has prodded me a lot and the Discord poll was unanimous lol.
I’ll be planning Act 3 since it’s difficult...

As little faith as the United Nations had in our SC allies to remain steadfast, it said a lot that the Venlil were included in this briefing; their interests were inseparable from ours. We entrusted them with the uncensored truth and authentic reactions, and wanted them to be included in our talks about how to move forward. Hum...

The yellow gaseous shape of Wriss’ moon was the only lighting in the dark night. Every scent gave me pause, trying to detect any traces of rebel forces were lying in wait. As Chief Hunter Isif’s official courier from the front lines, with messages too great to risk interception, peril was always imminent; our adversaries had sympathi...

My short tenure in the SC’s meeting station was with the goal of speaking to the assemblage about the rights of inorganic intelligence. I’d expected to be waking up to a wonderful moment, with Virnt having figured out how to simulate the signals of breathing; it’d taken months to figure out how to mimic it accurately, but...

It was easy to support the humans’ right to reside on our planet in the abstract. I’d said in my public statements, and on my campaign platform, that they should be treated as people, rather than threats to the Venlil population. Every politician had to pick a side to stand on,...

Chills ran down my spine, just letting my mind run loose with the possibility that there were other survivors; there was no reasonable doubt that the war was a mistake, a senseless conflict, if humanity was on the other side too. We’d had zero chance of survival at the Battle of Earth, yet here they were: a Krakotl standing alongside a ...

For a group guarding the ship from any space piracy, the mood among the handful of militia members was jovial. Even most of the unscrupulous members of Krev society wouldn’t snatch babies from an endangered species, so we were here as a deterrent in case any dumb traffickers got bright ideas. I mean, raising needy human infants from bir...

The sudden appearance of warp signatures on the sensors drew a lot of attention across the auditorium, since we knew it wasn’t one of the SC’s members. It was unlikely to be the Shield either, since their Duerten founders harbored nothing but disdain for the Kolshians. Who else could it be, riding to the rescue; or was it someone arrivi...

This Sapient Coalition meeting had me concerned, and not just because our trial period had technically expired without a vote on us staying, or due to the fleet bearing down on the disorganized defense of Aafa. Ambassador Loxsel had opted to accompany the Bissem delegation, as a “citizen of Ivrana,” which meant he’d be on site during ...

The past few months had been kind to Gress and I, and also had been the happiest of my life. I hadn’t known what it was like to kick back my shoes, without the fear of what tomorrow might bring. The quiet, peaceful life off the radar suited me. Taking leisurely walks on the orbital rings, and staring down at Avor like it was a scenic ri...

After months of planning with the Jaslip Independence Brigade, Cherise and I had worked up the nerve to try to sneak an explosive device into Delegates Tower. The important bit was sneaking it into its intended spot weeks in advance, somewhere that it wouldn’t be moved, discovered, or tampered with. We didn’t want them to be able to trace the...
