The Space Rodeo

License to Cultivate Ch 14

 It was impossible to tell time in the labyrinth. The sky overhead shifted and changed constantly, with no variance in the level of light. They alternated walking through the bare labyrinth, occasionally climbing through particularly thick drifts of sand, with sitting in clearer stretches and practicing their cycling. After the third cycling break, Chang-li handed out some of the dried meat rations. He passed the canteen around.

"Be careful with it.”

They had not seen any w...

Space Rodeo bonus - Sage 10

The classes changed everything. Sage's squadmates were racing ahead of her, chattering excitedly, looking for creatures to kill. Each time they flushed out a basking iguana or jackrabbit from under a bush, they'd race over to check for a skill seed. Most of the small creatures yielded nothing. The kids dropped back near Sage to complain.

"You've got to go after things worth killing," Sage said wearily. She felt on edge, keeping a constant watch all around them for real haza...

Space Rodeo Bk 4 Ch 32: Colin Into Action

“That’s a pretty strange class,” the Colonel said as we stomped back into the streets of Threshold. He seemed to have a destination in mind, kept his head down, and plowed forward. I had to work to keep up.

“I think it’ll work well for me, assuming I can get hold of some skill seeds, whatever those are.”

“They drop off mobs inside the reality engine levels,” the Colonel told me. “They aren’t hard to come by. Most are junk but they drop frequently.�...

Space Rodeo Bk 4 Ch 31: Possibilities

I spent the whole trip out to Ganymede in a state of excitement. When we docked at the enormous space station, I got a good glimpse of it through my window. It was built like a giant rotating cylinder made of shining metal. Other vessels were docking with us: the soup can designs I'd seen launching from Earth, and others that I quickly realized were alien spaceships. Honestly, they were disappointing. No Klingon battle cruisers or Millennium Falcons. Most of them were like giant cargo contain...

Space Rodeo Bk 4 Ch 30 - Stomping Grounds

We swept the town, clearing our way down the street one building at a time. The livery stable was filled with undead horses and a loft full of zombified lizard folk. We cleared it out by the book, taking down zombies with headshots.

The saloon held patrons still sitting at their tables playing cards though undead. When we entered, it triggered a bar fight. It was a bizarre juxtaposition, like the Western bar fights I've seen in dozens of movies, with cowboys and bargirls in...
