With each passing month in this new form, I became more reacclimated to life as a synthetic. Being alive and feeling once more was difficult after knowing the peace of death, compounded by the sensory hell of this body. I wanted to be a moral compass for the Sapient Coalition and for Terra Technologies, and that purpose helped ...

“What does any homeowner do with an infestation of suvrels—hey, are those like termites?” the human paused his reading at the first sentence, with a puzzled expression cute enough to melt glaciers.
I couldn’t underscore enough how much I’d made a dreadful mistake, as one of the most outspoken critics of allowing the Tellus re...

The wall of ships in front of Nishtal was comprised of diverse, formidable craft. There were six figures on each side, making this an unimaginable clash of metal war machines. The differences in strategies within the Sapient Coalition’s ranks added personality, and made us harder to account for in a uniform way. Dossur mechanic vessels we...

The United Nations had been mysteriously supportive of Bissems in the past few weeks, while offering gifts for nothing in return and smoothing feathers with our other nations. That charity had been enough to pique General Naltor’s suspicions, but I wondered if the appropriate parties in the human government had been alerted to our mistrea...

Finding myself staring at Ambassador Loxsel, who was newly-arrived to the Sivkit settlement on Ivrana, I couldn’t help but be floored by the size of the mountain of oranges that he was sitting on.
The incoming supply of oranges was what convinced him to pack his bags for our planet—not the fact that Bissem and Sivkit engineer...

After I’d seen how she lived in the cramped cavern below Tellus’ surface, Cherise Benson returned the favor by visiting my enclave. It was highly uncommon to have alien visitors in Esquo’s Fighters, and even rarer that they were allowed to use our underground tunnels to dodge the security checkpoints. The Smiglis hadn’t previously policed m...

Once we’d distanced ourselves from The Sailer, a few days after my speech, Secretary-General Kuemper called to offer a curious picture of the results. As I cleared the final stretch to Tarva’s home via train, I listened to the conversation that’d made me think about what an improved future might look like, beyond an idea...

Skalga, World of Death.
Seeing that sign at the spaceport had felt strange, as I’d traveled to the Venlil homeworld in search of old friends. Syba was handling most of the calls with the Shield, in the aftermath of our visit; the Sulean was unwavering in her glowing enthusiasm, and had lauded my speech during our journ...

I tried to include extra details in the poll itself, but in essence, the Krev exchange program would feature a Krev who had been strongly opposed to the Tellus humans being there, and now is trying to do an aboutface after learning they are cute, primate victims.
Wild West 2 would be about Old West Sheriff Blake and Nilrie, traveling buddy and smuggler, in the present day…heading off to a remote non-human colony world, the frontier. A gang of corrupt exterminators are extorting and t...

Instead of getting into the meat of the engagement, Onso prattled on about boring minutiae; analyzing and comparing engine capabilities, along with his best guess at their design, and AI pathing algorithms. While I was certain that warship design said a lot about a species, it was hardly my favorite subject; the Bissem generals would be mu...

Camera drones surveyed the system, admiring the devastation wrought across swaths of space. The FTL disruptors might’ve bought us precious months to prepare for a defense, but eventually, the enemy broke through—snuffing out enough FTL disruptors to make incremental progress, and slogging their way into the planetary sector. The Farsul...

The Resket military headquarters were in an expansive complex, complete with dozens of avian patrols marching along to look busy; thick metal walls encased the stone facility, making it look a bit like a castle from the outside. All it needed was a moat, and it’d look like General Radai was living in a medieval fortress. However, the only...

When I’d attempted to reach General Radai, I’d learned that the honorbound Resket had no intention to return to the camp on Tellus—as if he’d given up on the human experiment once and for all. He’d left Avor as well, after questioning Director Wrolle on livestream in Tonvos Pyramid; the military leader didn’t seem keen on remain...

The Duerten ambassador had walked away with a haughty air, until we were out of the Yulpa and Tevin’s eyesight. The manner in which he addressed me had caught me off-guard, to say the least; I’d felt as though Korajan was actively undermining me, not supporting my efforts. The real dagger to my heart was the “robot” remar...

The cell was drafty and cold, much colder than I’d been told pens would be. I could see the tall primates walking outside the bars. They would slide food into the place where I was contained, occasionally offering a guttural bark of what they were serving. It was lonely enough here that some days, I didn’t have the heart to eat. Other times...

When the Shield’s given coordinates led us to a vacant patch of space, distant from any inhabited systems and devoid of structures, I’d begun to have my doubts. Waiting in limbo, without anything to prove that this wasn’t a wild goose chase, didn’t leave a good feeling in my gut. Syba and I killed the time by watching epi...

Happy Friday to all of you. As a formal announcement, Krakotl child soldier won the poll, and I penned out two chapters of pure bottled sadness so far; I hope you’re as ready for this as I am. As we’ve seen this week, the Bissems are trying to outfox none other than General Jones, and the seeds of suspicion have already been planted among our Consortium cast—it’s a powder keg!
If you guys do also want to see the other ideas at some point, I just wanted to let you know I’m mor...
