Loading bays on long haulers were either one of two things: Full of stationary crap, empty and quiet, or full of moving crap and all hands loading or unloading said crap. To have all hands assembled in an empty loading bay while quiet was… well. It was odd, to say the least.
The fact that the entire crew were arranged in a circle around a cylinder as one of them continued an impromptu puppet show would have any normal medical officer testing the air for ga...

This is going to be a bit of a blog post, but - hell, y'all read stuff all the time so it should be no problem, right?
So first, no worries - Smol is going to come out tomorrow (Monday 2/1/2021) but I wanted to have a bit of a private forum to discuss the delays in smol, and what's going on with Shork Cop without dragging the entire internet or discord server into things. As you all are my patrons and the entire reason I'm able to do any of this, you deserve th...

- Plumbing Pump ded
- Car got totaled
- Lost power & progress in my smol chapter

I mean the last one isn't that terrible but still, reasons for the delay are multitude. The good news is that smol is back to...

This is the Return of Technically Sentient, but under a new name. New adventures with the same motley crue that you've been waiting for.
I want to thank Amph for letting me pester him for literal years until he decided to pick this universe back up. I've had the pleasure of reading the chapters as they're forming, and the wonderful old magic is still there.
This new series will be posted On the first of every month. So these chapter...

Sellas 2 was primed to be an idyllic garden world. Even in an uncolonized state it served as an ideal way-point along a critical inter-system travel lane. With the oceans full of water, the breathtakingly beautiful coastline, and gravity that was comfortable without triggering muscle atrophy it ticked nearly all the necessary boxes to become a thriving colony world. It’s oxygen rich atmosphere was free of turbulent weather patterns, and it’s single star was projected to remain stable for ...

Local systems, especially mixed systems, usually developed somewhat unique habits after a couple hundred years of running things. After a few thousand, those habits and past-times became cherished culture and unbreakable customs - much to the enjoyment of those who came to visit, and those who hoped to export their culture to the stars at large.

There were, of course, constants: People needed to eat, to sleep, to practice good hygiene, to make mor...

“Can I go now?” Nate complained as his body was tugged firmly to the right, the safety strap on his suit being fastened down a bit too roughly. Captain Sassafras, unamused, stared unblinking at him, wordlessly pulling her hood back.
“Okaaaaay, I’m sorry. Really, truly, I am.” Nate reached forward and tried to pat his captain’s head, only to miss her snoot and wiff the empty air. With a frustrated sigh, he went back to T-posing, letting Sassafras fu...

The new word that was invented for this story basically means “an epiphany with a gnawing realization, or mixed with regret/remorse”; “an epiphany + a sudden pit in your stomach”. I know there’s probably a German word for it, but hecc it. We doin’ this live.

On a trading route, near a comet, was a ship called Perfect.
The ship itself was one of those utilitarian, multi-species hauler ships that you would find anywhere in the Galaxy; universal parts, dummy thicc armor plating, reliable engines and drives, sturdy bolted-down tables in the mess hall - The Perfect would not win any awards for luxury or speed, or even innovation, but there are few classes and types of ships that can take a nickel-iron meteor impact at full in-s...

A/N: Hey everyone! Happy Halloween! This oneshot, although somewhat lewd, is more of the traditional "and fade to black" when it comes to the actual mechanics of things.

The wind was hot. Humid. Alien.
Lt. Colonel Randy Dickins (Retired) stared out his office window into the gently swaying tree-line 300 meters from the edge of camp. He inhaled deeply through his nose, savoring all the strange new scents that came with this foreign world. It was like learning the scent of a new woman.
A woman that wanted to kill you, and feed your guts to her ravenous children.

Laverne was seated by herself - well, her and the couple dozen Jornissian infants clinging to her body - on a bench seat along a very human table. The mess hall kitchen hadn’t had a good workout in weeks, and to those of a gastronomical persuasion, that was a travesty. Laverne knew better than to argue with someone who was putting out food - not only was it incredibly rude to do so, but you also had to acknowledge and admire the hours, and sometimes days of work that went into each...

“Are we there yet?”
“No, James.” Than mo sighed, carefully and slowly bounce-walking his way into the farm proper. It had been a few moments since the feat, and although everyone was astounded and amazed at being able to witness such glory, time was fleeting and current concerns pressed them forward. Than Mo and Laverne were still afforded the dignity of “walking”, however James had not been released from the Karnakians’ considerably-fluffy clutches. Everyone agre...

Traditional landing sequences were pretty boring, all things considered, especially among civilian landing craft:
(1) Have the computer do it.
If, for some reason, that didn’t work, then the sequence looked a little bit like so:
(1) Turn on the landing cameras
(2) Deploy the landing gear
(3) Deploy the skid plates (in case of emergency landing)
(4) Slow your descent
(5) Land
(6) Complain to maintenance about the auto-landing sequence ...

There's a quote, and I forget to whom it's attributed to, but the person was on stage and was asked how they managed the stress of being in the public eye, to which they responded: "Don't let the bastards keep you down - and the bastards are basically everyone."
So in this episode, we talk about theft, insults, and how to manage them.

Hey patrons! I know, it's been a minute for the lewd, but there's good reason - so a bit of an update first before you're hurt with the following lewd words:
(1) There's going to be a smol game! YES, YOUR VERY OWN SMOL GAEM. I've been working on the script, dialogue, storyboarding and everything else, so that groundwork kind of delayed me from getting this out. Sorry about that. But more information coming out soon, with a bunch of patron-only updates and fun things!

The group stood just outside the entrance to the hospital, a sea of baggage, medical equipment, storybooks and fussing parents milling about behind them. Time was of the essence, and discretion is the better part of valor; many people had done many daring and heroic things with what they had on-hand, and this current “field trip” of the starry-dust crusaders was absolutely no different. Suits had been checked and re-checked, supplies prepared and then doubled, air traffic cleared and volu...

Moth, the great and honorable and good terrorbeast rocked his body from side to side in a rough approximation of a happy dance, the day’s dust and soot and dirt and branches and ceiling tile dust and roof shingles shaking off of him as his grab made admonishing noises.
