The camp we set up was silent for a long moment, taking in what Yoda had just said. To hear that he clung so loosely to life, that his grip on the Force was all that was keeping him alive...
"You've been holding on to train me, haven't you?" Luke asked, dragging us out of the silence. "You ...
2024-11-04 16:39:58 +0000 UTC View PostWith the heavy hitters of the ABB locked up tight, Arcanum needs to step up patrols around ABB territory to keep an open gang war from starting. He mentioned reaching out New Wave for help, how do they respond?
2024-11-02 16:30:08 +0000 UTC View PostEventually, after following Yoda for a good thirty minutes, we arrived at his home. I took a moment to look at it as everyone moved closer, staring at the small, overgrown structure. For a moment, I was back home, watching Empire Strikes Back for the first time, and my father and my brother were ...
2024-11-01 15:49:57 +0000 UTC View PostVisiting the PRT, the Hospital, and doing a bit of shopping only took four hours out of my morning. By the time I had returned to my forest home, it was just about noon. The visit to the PRT took a bit longer than normal since I spent some time discussing the potential for them to pay me with mat...
2024-10-31 15:56:12 +0000 UTC View PostSaul considered my words for a long moment. While he presented as a rough and tumble, simple folk kind of guy, I could see an intelligence in his eye that ran counter to his rough exterior.
"You offer a lot, but you ask a lot as well. I'm not thrilled at the idea of using my people as human...
2024-10-30 16:21:38 +0000 UTC View PostOnce everyone had calmed down and Lung and Oni Lee were secured under a whole lot of containment foam, the Protectorate members that had come as reinforcements visibly relaxed. They clearly didn't like the idea of facing off with Lung, not that I could blame them. Assault couldn't help but slap m...
2024-10-29 15:20:01 +0000 UTC View PostI managed to scrounge around for some decent ingredients in the kitchen, putting together a leafy green salad with some seasoned grilled meat. It was a light meal, and the grilled meat was pre-cooked, but it was still good and filling. Once we were done eating, the mood improved significantly as ...
2024-10-28 15:40:02 +0000 UTC View PostDeacon has collected a decent-sized group of Jedi on Nirn and in the Skyforged. Should he make an effort to gather some of the other Jedi he knows about, or should he let them stay in hiding, with plans to invite them once the Empire is defeated?
Just to be clear, when I say "...
2024-10-26 16:33:38 +0000 UTC View PostLuke was surprised by my offer, though at this point, he really shouldn't have been. If there was any tendency that I had shown so far, it was my propensity for sticking my foot in situations that didn't belong, especially when it came to the Jedi. Still, Luke had come primarily for advice, and h...
2024-10-25 15:23:21 +0000 UTC View PostTime hung in the air for a moment before Olivia, Crow, exploded into action, shooting a pair of feathers at Lung, her cloak flicking out as she moved her arm. Her ritualized outfit was currently in the feathered, simplified form, looking like a particularly deep black cloak with a mantle...
2024-10-24 15:27:13 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Jackie left to head back to Night City, I took a minute to collect myself, have a cup of cold water, and just relax. I had three days to complete my current projects and, more importantly, prepare myself for the next tech tree. That should be enough time to get it all done without&n...
2024-10-23 16:02:56 +0000 UTC View PostOlivia and I worked in a mad dash to get everything on my list done before darkness settled over the city of Brockton Bay. After a few minutes of being confused about what I was saying, Olivia seemed to make a choice, deciding to just go with it. She covered herself in a muted version of her cloa...
2024-10-22 15:17:52 +0000 UTC View PostWith the suitable materials found, harvested, refined, and charged, and with a product worth working on, I was finally ready to push our combat personnel to the next level. There were two groups I needed to work on in general: the Navy and the Army, though the Skyforged differentiated that into c...
2024-10-21 16:07:40 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! So, William has plans to perform rituals around his boots and mask. I have plans for the boots, but how should his mask work?
(This is just one layer, I have a second one planned as well)
2024-10-19 15:42:35 +0000 UTC View PostBy the end of my four-day transmutation extravaganza, I was feeling understandably antsy. I had enjoyed not needing to do much for the first two days, during which I had been brought up to date on a lot of what was going on around Omega Station and our fleet. Our supply lines were doing well, and...
2024-10-18 15:40:30 +0000 UTC View PostWe sat there for a while, mostly in silence, as I looked over the community. There was a lot of activity going on, and I could see that John had brought out the golems, keeping them around in more accessible places, though the stone ones were still hidden. I was still sitting on the edge of the r...
2024-10-17 15:39:28 +0000 UTC View PostPredictably, Kaytyn had the same sort of reaction to the new food cubes as Jackie had, though she realized a lot of the textures were bizarre and sometimes uncomfortable. Where for me, this marked the beginning of the end of lousy, horrible food options, and for Jackie, it was probably the first ...
2024-10-16 16:07:43 +0000 UTC View Post"Woah, woah, woah!" I shouted, still on my back, now holding up my hands. "What are you doing? Lung doesn't attack capes unless they get in his way!"
The demon paused, his fingers just touching the clip of a grenade. As I lay there, I could hear the cops trying to move people back, the crow...
2024-10-15 15:48:22 +0000 UTC View PostThanks to the efforts of Boxi and the droids, the Skyforged has acquired an Arquitens-class light cruiser! What should they call it?
Does anyone get the reference...
2024-10-12 15:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! Just a reminder, I will be taking the fourteenth off, so there will be no new posts! The normal schedule will return on the fifteenth.

The jump to our rendezvous point, a random spot in deep space, lasted exactly as long as planned. When we dropped, we dr...
2024-10-11 12:56:52 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a simple breakfast of fruit and hot coffee, I buckled down and put together the ritual for my mind protection circlet. In the end, it was not nearly the grand, perfect anti-mind control creation that I was envisioning, but until I found something that worked, it would have to do.
Part...
2024-10-10 15:34:51 +0000 UTC View PostBy the time I finished designing the advanced fake borg model, the one intended to be one of our new AI members, Riggs' body was repaired enough to put his core back into place. Some of his armor plating wasn't finished, but his primary ALEO build was at a hundred percent, so he was all set. Kayt...
2024-10-09 16:48:53 +0000 UTC View PostI made it exactly ten feet down the road, the PRT motor pool entrance behind me, before I heard Assault calling out for me. I tapped Troy on the side to get him to stop, turning to look back as Assault closed the distance. He approached sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head.
"So listen, ...
2024-10-08 16:08:28 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! Just a bit of news, next week is a long weekend for many people, so my family planned a small trip. In order for me to go, I will be canceling the post for the 14th, or next Monday. Other than that, the posts should be normal and on time! Tha...
2024-10-07 15:56:49 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! So recently, the Wraith attacked the gang, and Riggs was nearly killed. How exactly should they get revenge/justice?
2024-10-05 15:40:29 +0000 UTC View PostWithin twenty seconds of stepping into the building, we hit our first wall of enemy combatants. Dozens of Stormtroopers and uniformed security poured out several doors as we took a corner, clearly trying to ambush us as we stepped in. They opened fire with little hesitation, dozens of them raking...
2024-10-04 14:41:42 +0000 UTC View PostIt took a full minute for Taylor to internalize what Director Piggot had said, her mind clearly struggling to come to terms with it. After the long moment passed, she finally spoke up.
"She is in prison?" She asked. "No trail or…"
"For her previous crimes? She was already found guil...
2024-10-03 15:34:43 +0000 UTC View PostJust a reminder, this chapter is shorter because it was written while I was still struggling with COVID. Thank you for being so supportive!

Dakota looked at me for a long moment, as if she was trying to pull the idea from my brain by glaring at me.

2024-10-02 15:45:59 +0000 UTC View PostI spent the rest of the day at the forest compound, finishing the alterations and additions to the absorption ritual necessary to make it permanent. I still needed the materials, five pounds of mercury, titanium, tungsten, copper, and nickel, but once I had them, I was ready. In all honesty, I co...
