Hegemony Resurgent Exodus: Chapter 2

To an outside observer, there was no difference in Haven’s movements. Not for hours. But even a tiny thrust added up.

“Dad, you’re screwing our calculations up,” June said, her face on the com screen.

“I think a nuke would screw them up more,” Jackson told his daughter. “Do the best you can…”

“Sure, I will. I’ll just keep multi-thousand factor equations updated in my head…” Jackson cut her grumbles off and looked around the command center. On one of...

Coming up tonight, and then back to Orb Weaver tomorrow. After that, we'll start alternating.

Hegemony Resurgent Exodus: Chapter 2

Christa had grown up on earth with a nice home in Long Beach, a brother, and two outspoken, politically active, parents.

After Amaris, she was a 16-year-old orphan, shipped out to Inglesmond with the Runt. Her parents were dead.

That was all anyone would tell her after they were taken away. They were dead.

Why the case worker would be so adamant that there was no reason to ask more sometimes kept her up at night.

And now they were going offworld. Again. 2025-01-25 06:55:53 +0000 UTC View Post

Hegemony Resurgent Book I: Exodus

Inglesmond, March 5, 2785:  Kline Shipping, Penthouse.

“Your daughter is here, sir.”

“Send her in, Darcy.”

“Yes, sir.”

Jackson frowned as he looked out over the blazing cityscape, finally  looking over at the door, waiting for his daughter to come in. It opened and he was once again struck by how much she looked like her mother.

But there was no sense woolgathering—not if he wanted June to live longer than her mot...

Notes for the future.

while the exalted v. WOD story will continue, it probably won't go as fast as it was. Originally, you know, corrupt evil government, everything going to shit was nice to write... then certain recent events happened. It makes it more difficult to get into the writing aspect, and some story concepts that were going to be incorporated need to be changed.
And I'm also in a bit of a sci-fi mood, so I have a long Battletech story, stretching from the Amaris coup to the clans, entitled Hegemony ...

Orb Weaver: Plague Chapter 19

Rune was not very good at staying hidden.

Or maybe I was being unfair. The cache of “street clothing” was hidden from plain sight, in a little alley off 7th Street, designed to look like a loose section of bricks in a wall.

It just wasn’t hidden from my bugs.

Nonetheless, I waited for two days before I made my move, observing. It wouldn’t be wise to assume she had no other way to scan it, so I made certain to check the alleyway for any sensors or traps....

Starborn Forests: Campaign ideas

Building a campaign:

There are three questions any GM needs to answer about a campaign involving starseeds:  How recently, how many, and how big.

How Recently:

The assumption is that Starfall was long enough ago that the situation has more or less stabilized, so at the very least several decades, but a century or more is the better assumption. Because of this, the political and social structures surrounding the seedlands have had a...

Coming up soon...

Another Orb Weaver Chapter, probably tomorrow, while tonight, a starfall chapter. But if you're anxious, if you truly need a little snippet... I provide.

"Well, it's not the Temple, but come with me to the top of your apartment building. There we shall talk, and there I shall offer you all the kingdoms of the world. Do not worry about Aster, Theo. My Eye is upon her." The inhuman voice fell silent, but then the door to their apartment slowly opened, showing the empty h...

Starborn Forests: Seedlands

The seedlands:

The first thing anyone notices, coming over the divide, is how alive the seedlands are. The very air is impregnated with a sense of fecundity, of burgeoning life.  No matter the original climate there are vast trees and plants, animals grazing—or hunting. It’s not always the same. A seedland in the far north will how snow, and its plants and animals will be of the sort expected for that region, but the sense of growth, of life will rema...

Never go out after dark. You never knew what might be there. Maybe muggers, maybe worse. STay in the lit parts of the city and go right home. Even the college had that rule.

Now, Claire was standing in the little park by the school as the sun went down, with Michael. She'd told grandma that she was staying home, and she'd told Mom and Dad that she was at Grandma's and she was so grounded if anyone found out.

But the school… She'd been there for aft...

Orb Weaver: Plague Chapter 18

Sitting at home, I had to consider my plans. I still wanted to find Rune, and draw a line to Kaiser that way. For one thing, one line wasn’t a certainty. If Kaiser was indeed Max Anders, he’d be protected, and I could not risk any chance of being wrong.

For the second thing, Rune might be one of lower-ranked members of the E88, a teenager…

But she was also vital to their parahuman mobility. One of Lung’s great advantages was Oni Lee, who was deployed when needed and could...

Starborn Forest: Introduction to the Lands

The lands around any seedlands, as they have come to be called, are divided into three general regions: outlands, borderlands, and the divide. Nearly every seedland has something like this, although the size of the regions can vary, depending on the region. A seedland established in a desert may have a vary narrow outland and borderland, while one that landed in a forest might actually have larger border and outlands than the seedland itself.

Outlands:

Possible delays`

If you're in California, you know about the Eaton fire, which now has parts of Pasadena in either the "get your shit ready for evac" or "Leave NOW" zones. I've got a carless friend in the "get your shit ready" zone, so i'll be driving up, to convince him to leave and/or hit him over the head. So updates may be a bit delayed over the next day or so.

Orb Weaver Interlude: The Director, the DA, and the Boogeywoman

Emily Piggot wondered if she had personally insulted the gods at one point or another. It would explain this.

“Mr. Evans, I am here, in person, because I hope to resolve this issue.”

“Rosita Reyes.”

“Yes. A girl who both worked with Madison Clements, and who was involved in her trigger event, who Madison Clements both respects and has struck up a friendship with. A girl, I might also add, who has by the records I’ve found, done everything she can to make the best...

As for the Starseeds, I'm wanting to get back into rpgs, and this is about a 60 page module that can be used for other campaigns or as a core for itself. It'll had advice in the back for various levels of "world change" ranging from a little valley to apocalyptic.

Starborn Forests: Intro

Starseeds.

The Coming of the Seeds:

The starseeds came from deep space, and they came without warning. Dozens impacting upon the world, sending shockwaves across the land. Castles were shattered, dragons flung out of the sky in mid-flight. Even the gods were taken by surprise.

But that wasn’t the only thing that happened. Or even the most devastating.

For from each crater, came an explosion of fecund plantlife. Trees and vines reaching out, ...

Claire hated the rest of the day. Every second she expected… something to happen. Every poster, every comment… And she could hear and see so much and somehow, she could understand better. It was like her eyes had been opened.

And for some reason she kept having urges. The school, this place, was wrong…

Purge it with golden sunfire, bring righteousness back to the people…

Claire shook her head. But finally, school was over, as Tommy walked by, his...

He was running. He was running and sobbing, because…

IT was after him. More terrifying than even the guys in special projects, but he didn't know about them. He was just a reporter. 

But then the eyes opened up in the walls of my house. Then the whispers started then… 

So he'd gotten into his car, but it had died halfway out of town. He'd taken his special briefcase with the information about some of his coworkers and the bearer bonds, so that if h...

Back home after speaking to the police and letting Dad know I’d solved a murder, it was time to consult my newest research project. And time to consider what I should do with some of my known bad-boys. The corrupt evidence room sergeant was keeping his head down, like many others. I could provide enough evidence but…

No. Wait until he decided that he’d been missed. It wouldn’t just give me more information but provide more solid lines the FBI could use to roll up h...

“Are you sure Mike?” Tom said, looking around. The warehouse was empty save for all the toys and shit piled high to be wrapped and distributed on Christmas…

They even had a pile of fake snow done up as a snowman in the corner. It hadn’t been there when Mike had cased the place this morning…

“Shit yeah. Look at half of these toys! They’re gonna give ‘em to a bunch of snotnosed brats...

Merry Early Christmas

Lots of people home, lots of things to do, so just to let people know, not a lot of stuff will be appearing until after xmas, though possibly Orb Weaver may make a Christmas Eve appearance in a short story...

On another note, I've become inspired by a robotech idea but that will be appearing mainly on AO3, primarily because Harmony Gold has in the past been... a little active legally, so in an abundance of caution, I'll just note when it's out here.

"You came in," Claire said. "You were sick. Didn't you…"

"No, I got bit by a rat… I was thinking of getting a rabies shot but then I…" He blinked. "What is on your face?"

Claire looked over at the mirror, and shook her head. The glowing stylized twilight symbol ws fading, but it was still there.

How do I know it's a twilight symbol… But there was a resonance to it. A power.

Orb Weaver: Plague Chapter 16

I kept my bugs out, swarms moving in and out of my sphere as we drove. Nobody followed us. Kanshi sat in the rear seat next to me, a single driver in front, with a small pistol in a shoulder holster. More disciplined than your average ABB member, but then I expected that Lung would not want to risk his newest cape to a bad driver.

Kanshi, paper manipulator… She tended to not show off her abilities, and even my research had not fully explored her capabilities. Not the lea...
