Quarrels and Quills

Isaac Fishblatt "Good idea," Isaac said. "You're right. That would certainly be less likely to give the mistaken impression that we're a threat." There was some work to do in the meantime - distribute blood rations and blankets, make the shipwreck survivors comfortable - but the...

Volent Corporate Headquarters Linc Valli - the slightly less famed son of famed corporate scientist Lars Valli - was tinkering in the Prototype Lab. He loved working in the Prototype Lab. It was quiet. Silent, even, other than the sound of his tools. You got used to all the eyes of the various prot...

Ulga gra-Shatul Ulga shrugged one shoulder when Fira asked about the favor. Yeah, it was a pretty big one. But she didn't say it, because that wasn't really the point, was it? If she listened to what Fira said, without emotion, without ego - Fira was right. The whole idea was too dangerous. Ulga re...

Ulga gra-Shatul That was a great question. Partly because she wasn't entirely sure where Nairn was leaving for . How did you find a book about something that might even be in a different world?

This kiss was a promise, not a plea. A promise that he was hers, and he was committing to building a relation...

Eve Travers and Cambria Morehouse "Hm," Eve mused. "I don't think we have to just. Accept this. Like it's a done deal. Can't we ask for more time?" "And give them other options," Cambria agreed. "After all, Keeva is your responsibility, Rosemary. She can't live th...
