Hello everyone. I come with glad tidings. As the Faceless Minion approaches the endgame, I have been considering what to write next. I have a couple of options in the works but have decided which one will start first.
That's right, it's an NSLICE-00P spinoff! Can't leave poor 00P Beta in limbo now, can we?
I may or may not eventually start a second, more serious and original novel as well but that one requires a bit more planning before I'm confident in sta...

University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway. 1970s.
A young man smiled as he took in the scene. All before him, new freshman bustled about, chatting to one another. Upperclassmen and faculty guided them to dorms and orientation meetings.
It had been tough.
No one had believed in him.
No one had helped him.
Not that poor excuse of a father.
Not that mother he never knew.
Not the t...

A while after Captain Sildeth and the Vophae had vacated the area, there was a flash of light by the vortex.
A man wearing high tech armor over ancient silk robes stepped forward, a high-tech gauntlet on his left arm. He rubbed his chin.
“Hm? What’s this?”
He took out an instrument, scanning the vortex. A holographic keyboard formed midair and his hands flashed as he typed on it, running all sorts of calculations and simulations....

Captain Sildeth crashed through the ground, entering the catacombs below the town. He landed in a large ritual chamber.
Two girls and a man were sitting calmly, the girls casually deflecting any debris from the roof. One of the girls was wearing a backpack.
He raised an eyebrow. Saydaa nodded.
“It’s about time.”
“You’ve been expecting me?”
Roxanne shrugged.
“You haven’t exactly be...

Captain Sildeth made his way over to a mountainous area. He had a bad feeling about this one, so he had the auxiliaries trail behind him. He didn’t particularly like to lose them, after all. It was a rare and brave idiot that would follow after him.
It was pouring rain, as well as thunder and lightning as he flew to his target location.
Some sort of martial arts school, built high in the mountains.
And in utter ruins, with even some of the surrounding mou...

“Wait!”
Oh, and the other Saydaa had jumped in after them.

The Resistance fighters linked up with the undead hordes, providing ranged fire support. The NSLICE units began to fall, unable to handle both.
And of course, among the Resistance’s recruits were supers fleeing the NSLICE program…

Amano Bin and Amano Kiyosuke walked through a small park. They sat down at a bench. She looked at him for a second, then sighed.
“I know you’re not my Kiyosuke, that my Kiyosuke is well and truly gone and that you’re someone different. But…that doesn’t matter to me. As far as I’m concerned, you’re my boy.”
Kiyosuke nodded.

Silence hung in the room, save for the quiet sobs of two ninjas. Wonder Knight was the first to recover.
“Ok…so I guess that’s out there now. First question then, what exactly is the Day of Sorrow?”

The Resistance fighters led them away from the city, towards the harbor. Once they reached the pier, the ocean started to rise and glow…
A woman leapt onto the pier, straight from the glowing water. A large woman with frazzled black hair and dark, tanned skin, wearing a lab coat over a muumuu.
“Hey brah! Howzit?”
The lead Resistance fighter swore.

And then Pink Star asked the dreaded question.
“So, how do we do that?”
Silence reigned.

“Me?! Oh no. Baba Yaga always told me trying to mess with time is absolutely forbidden! And don’t we already have a time girl? Why don’t you do someth...

The rest of Aurora Legion and Nemesis came to their senses. They turned around glancing at one another.
Saydaa spoke first.
“Then…now what?”
Wonder Knight stood up. His eyes were spinning, glancing every which way. He shook his head, holding it with his hand.
“I...think we should find Director Green first. We need to confirm exactly what happened.”
Saydaa glared at him.

Not a word was spoken as Nemesis combed through the wreckage of the ritual zone. Tears streamed down four young faces.
But not Bob.
Bob was completely silent, focused entirely on the ground.
He would find her.
He had to.
And then…
He found something.
An empty set of clothes, belonging to Wilson.
But no sign of Elise.
