“And here we are!” Goodie announced. “Honestly… the old Hab was ruined. It reeked of smoke, ozone, and the seals weren’t working as well as they should after being exposed to space.”
There was a thump and the carrier’s entrance slid open.
“So I went back to who made the Hab originally,” Goodie continued. “Apparently the designer had moved on to a new company. They make luxury Habs. When I showed up with the old Hab they were surprised.”
Walking out of t...
2023-07-22 03:33:23 +0000 UTC View PostNot hesitating, Wrench whipped the sword out of it’s sheath at his hip. He had held onto it this entire time more out of a sense of not wanting to give up a useful tool despite it’s size.
Greedy hadn’t bothered to take it from him either and hadn’t even seemed to have noticed it, really.
Slashing wildly at the bag, Wrench took in a deep breath and resolved himself to hold it. Given the carrier wasn’t fully sealed, his oxygen would vanish very quickly.
It wasn’t e...
2023-07-22 03:33:07 +0000 UTC View PostWrench, thankfully so, hadn’t been tempted to try eating the rotten Hume parts that he and Stripe had dug out.
Unfortunately, he’d had no choice but to drink the sludge water that was trickling down from above, though.
After two days, he’d forced himself to drink it due to his extreme thirst. His mouth had felt dry and Wrench had felt rather faint.
Except he did make sure to more or less turn off his taste bads. His tongue and mouth couldn’t taste anything and he did...
2023-07-20 03:00:16 +0000 UTC View Post“Uhm, I hate to be a spoil sport,” Stripe murmured and pointed back to the monitor. “I don’t think they’ll make it on their own. That’s a lot of reinforcements coming for the Lower Parts.”
Wrench whipped his head around to look at the barricade on the screen. There was a lot of Brawlers rushing toward it.
While the hired Brawlers were doing well enough, clearing the area violently, they were about to be drowned by enemy reinforcements. It wouldn’t take long for the...
2023-07-20 02:58:50 +0000 UTC View PostWrench thankfully had the ability to make his refractory period, zero. He’d been able to go through the entirety of the studding in a short period of time.
Going from one woman to the next until the “job” was done. That even if the Tongsta had been creepily watching it all happen, they wouldn’t have a reason to get mad at him in any way.
After that, he’d simply sat down next to a book case, picked a book that looked interesting, and started reading. A number of the Solos...
2023-07-18 03:09:39 +0000 UTC View PostClosing the Duct door behind him, Wrench started walking toward the Supply Depot.
Nearly running Stripe over.
She’d stepped in front of him when his back was turned and stood there.
Grabbing her by the shoulders he stutter stepped to the side and brought her along. Thankfully he got his balance quickly and only ended up spinning Stripe to the side and forced her a step.
“I’m so sorry!” Stripe apologized, her hands quickly grasping to his forearms. “I didn’t...
2023-07-18 03:08:51 +0000 UTC View PostWaiting, Wrench peered at his system menu.
Reading through each, he had a better understanding of them as of late.
It didn’t hurt that he’d asked a few questions to Peaches when he’d checked in on Blue-Bill as well. While she didn’t know what the systems were, she’d known each of the eleven categories so long as he approached it in a generalized way.
Integumentary, that’s just my skin and hair. Oh, and my nails.
Skeletal, that’s exactly that....
2023-07-18 03:08:02 +0000 UTC View PostWrench didn’t have to stand at the barrier long before things happened.
Not only everyone panic as soon as they realized they’d lost time, but then quite literally perform a head-count check. Every group going through and doing a physical count of their people.
Seventh and Wrench manned the barrier and kept an eye on everyone on the Skybridge. The Admini that would’ve been helping them distribute goods was gone as was Bird.
They’d have to go get a new Admini or wait ...
2023-07-13 04:26:05 +0000 UTC View PostWalking across the Upper Field toward the Supply Depot, Wrench was thinking about this Barracks that’d been mentioned. The only thing he could come up with, was some group of Brawlers that actually ran the Lower Parts.
As if they working on things from the background but didn’t want to stand at the front of it all. A small group of powerful Brawlers that kept the rest in check.
Or if not in check, at least semi-organized.
Mildly policed?
Ugh.
<... 2023-07-13 04:25:09 +0000 UTC View PostGrunting, Wrench leaned on his name-sake. After a few seconds he gave up.
“Okay, I totally under-estimated how much strength it takes to be a Fixer,” growled Seventh. Stepping up next to him she put her foot down on the wrench and then tried to stand on it.
It slipped off the bolt and clattered to the ground.
“Eh, it definitely takes strength but in the same breath, it takes more brains,” countered Wrench. Sighing, he stood up and then went over to his tool-bag. He g...
2023-07-11 03:25:25 +0000 UTC View PostWrench felt tired.
Worn out.
At a mental level, he was as if he were a hand-towel filled with water, now wrung dry. Flipped over a clothes-line and left to dry in the wind.
The Admini had been more than willing to go over an endless amount of information. Most of which wasn’t very useful to him, though it did give him a great deal of insight into what he could expect from the Tongsta.
They weren’t very good at taking take of Hume, as far as Wrench could tell. Bodie...
2023-07-08 02:47:24 +0000 UTC View PostFastening the camera firmly into place he inspected his work. It was well outside of reach of someone casually walking up. He’d also taken the time to put it in as part of a light fixture.
Unless someone knew what to look for, they wouldn’t even realize what it was.
Running a finger around the base-plate he felt the sealant. It felt perfectly fine and was already dry.
“Was that all?” asked Joy beneath him. She was currently working at detatching the door. Seventh was...
2023-07-08 02:46:50 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks. There was some issues with Pin production. After talking it out with a few companies, we finally found a new provider.
There was a delay for getting new pins but we now have them.
Messages about pins will start going out soon.
Here are -all- the available pins. There's even brand new ones never seen before, as well as Pins with slight changes.
Cavalier's Gambit-
Wrench didn’t know how to feel.
Joy had been grateful to him. To the point that it made him feel incredibly awkward. She held him in a regard that made him feel extremely guilty.
He hadn’t been there to save her.
If he’d known it was happening, he couldn’t even say for certain that he’d have rushed off to help her. Especially if he believed Seventh and Stripe were in an unknown situation.
In the end, Stripe had escorted Joy back to her room, then came back. T...
2023-07-06 03:41:37 +0000 UTC View PostStripe and Seventh had ended up taking Wrench back to the medical ward. Where Peaches let him use the shower and gave him a new gown.
Though it’d taken him telling her what he’d done, the complete story including his involvement in her two new patients, for her to offer all that. Apparently she had a rather strong dislike for the Lower Parts Brawlers and the actions they took.
She did warn him that it was likely the Admini wouldn’t be very happy with him. While they didn’t...
2023-07-06 03:40:53 +0000 UTC View PostStriding out of the building, Wrench didn’t look back. He didn’t have the luxury of time, or patience. Both were in short supply at the moment and he needed to run down Stripe and Seventh.
Wherever they were, was likely going to be a problem until the Hab settled where they belonged in the hierarchy.
Or more accurately, which class of Hume claimed them.
Menders, Admini, and Fixers would be quickly picked up by their kind. Even Schools would quickly adopt lone School Hume...

Chapter 27 - Levers -
Felix had been surprised to find that the cost to move Felicia’s power up to three-thousand percent, which was what his power told him was the limit of her ability to handle and remain healthy, had only been a few hundred-thousand. He’d accepted the power and ate another of Goldie’s cookies, before turning to the cheese and meat.
Goldie and Evie had been appeased it seemed and were now in a discussion about sales and the best places to find them. Evie w...
2023-06-21 04:48:03 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 26 - Objection -
Felix felt quite strange.
In fact, he couldn’t even define it as strange. That was an under-statement of how he actually was feeling. That the world didn’t quite match up with reality at the moment.
No matter where he looked, he swore he could see transparent images, people, for a fleeting moment before they vanished. As if he’d been staring at a bright light and then looked away, only for the image to trail along behind.
They weren’t e...

“Contact,” whispered a voice over the coms. “Light ahead. Faint but obvious. Slight turn obfuscating it.”
“Slow, ease up to the right wall. Come to a halt,” ordered Faith. There was a collective response from everyone that they understood.
Lucille dodged to one side and slowed down to a stop. Her head dipped down and she opened her mouth, her jaw resting on the ground.
Or Felix realized after Lucille lifted her tongue and he could see mo...
2023-06-16 03:23:41 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 24 - All Warfare -
“Kinda like a video game,” Felix muttered, tilting his head to one side to match the angle of the camera. He was currently looking out of a camera slotted in a Warden. It was currently being powered by one of the LSF, likely an Elf, and utilizing the magical enhancements only available to them.
The camera was odd though as it was placed in such a way that he could see the weapon held up in front as well as a portion of their arms. To Felix, it really...
2023-06-14 03:09:58 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 23 - The Lights Come On -
“Good evening,” Felix stated into the polycom at the center of the table. “We’ve discovered the problem. I’ll be sending an official report with all the information and a great deal of detail after this, but I felt it would be good to have a high lever over-head meeting about this.
“First, let me apologize to the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. While our methods weren’t kind, we discovered that your organization has inde...
2023-06-13 02:57:10 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 22 - Became the Villain -
Felix felt odd walking into a house that felt familiar, and also not. The decorations, paintings, and colors, were all the same from the house Felix spent so much time in.
Like a familiar song.
A cover made by another band that sounds extremely similar to the original.
“I told him you’d be coming. He seemed excited and upset at the same time,” Melody admitted, guiding Felix deeper into the home.
Talia, Faith, and Evie remai...
2023-06-13 02:56:03 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 21 - Just Long Enough -
“—a wonderful scene. To those of you who are new to Legion, I assure you that you’ll be awe struck once Legion City is brought back to it’s former glory,” Andrea said with a wide and pretty smile. She shifted to one side, dropped her elbow to the desk, and held her hand out to the camera. “In fact, you don’t even have to take my word for it. Here’s some footage taken by a few Legionnaires before the Loss!”
The screen that’d held ...
2023-06-09 02:04:34 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 20 - Perspective -
Felix was looking at the satellite image of the building they were heading to. It was in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a fence, and was off the main road.
There wouldn’t be a way to approach it, without it being uncomfortably obvious they were heading that way. Any visit they made to Travis would be spotted, one way or another.
The surprising part was that this wasn’t the first time the man had gotten in the way of Legion. He’d been ab...
2023-06-09 02:03:35 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 19 - Putting on Pretense -
Felix was working his way through a number of high level reports.
With Felicity’s return, he was suddenly starting to feel a lot like a CEO again. A leader of an organization rather than a manager. He was getting more done in a handful of days since they’d rejoined one another, than he had in months.
“Tribune, what’s the current trading rate on the dollar compared to the fen?” Felix asked, his fingers hovering over his keyboard. H...
2023-06-07 02:58:16 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 18 - Reconfigure -
Felix couldn’t help but be impressed.
His normal Legionnaires, after training, were quite formidable. They had the equipment, gear, training, and talent, to go toe to toe with most military forces.
What he’d seen go down in front of him, felt like the one-percent of the one-percent.
These were people who had gone beyond and become a new form of Legionnaire. A Legionnaire that was to the original standard of Legionnaire when compared to th...
