After Jackie and I got bored of sitting around, pretending to recover from our impromptu game, we took off the undersuits. They had worked perfectly, and other than needing a quick rinse, they were ready to use for our next mission. Which Jackie just so happened to have word on.
"So, ...
2024-06-12 15:49:30 +0000 UTC View PostAfter spending a minute waiting for Alya to confirm that my uninvited stalkers were entirely gone, her presence pulled back to me.
"They are leaving," She confirmed, her voice even quieter than usual. "Are you satisfied with their reasoning for following you?"
"Vaguely?" I said,...
2024-06-11 15:47:13 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! So, as the title says, I will be taking a break for the first week of July. The normal posting schedule will continue on the 8th, the following Monday.
2024-06-11 05:17:34 +0000 UTC View PostIt wasn't until the next morning that we finally arrived at the next step in our journey. Technically, we were half a light-year away from the planet the Jedi and Princess in the story started from, but since there was no reason to interact directly with the planet, and it was a Hutt-controlled w...
2024-06-10 15:57:21 +0000 UTC View PostJackson is, understandably, taking the creation of sentient, growing life seriously, taking it slow and not spamming them out rapid fire (Save for MRVN units, which won't start to develop for several years)
The question is, what should his next AI creation be?
2024-06-08 03:06:36 +0000 UTC View PostI stared back at the young woman, studying her face. She seemed earnest, intrigued, and understandably worried about what I was talking about. After a moment, I nodded, satisfied with what I had seen.
"Luke, could you do me a favor?" I asked, looking at the young Force-sensitive. "There's a...
2024-06-07 15:24:10 +0000 UTC View PostCharles led us back down to the tents and lean-tos, people actually stepping out of our way as we moved. He didn't have to lead us far, as we very shortly stopped at one of the many nearby tents. Charles reached out and knocked on a nearby support beam. After a few seconds, a raspy voice came fro...
2024-06-06 15:33:43 +0000 UTC View PostI wake up the next morning with a pounding headache, the world spinning and turning around me. I blinked slowly, sliding to the edge of my bed, wondering how I got there. Someone must have helped me, because halfway through the night, I resigned myself to sleeping under the stars, completely cont...
2024-06-05 16:12:36 +0000 UTC View PostAs I stood there in silence, my mind stuck like a jammed clutch of gears, grinding and twisting against each other. Eventually, Alya blew a cold breeze over my face, breaking me out of my stupor.
"That… was interesting," I said as the distant young hero finally disappeared, dipping below ...
2024-06-04 15:44:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe trip to Lothal from Alpha Base was about a day long, a surprisingly short trip, all things considered. That included a full night, which was good since having to deal with politics and Rebel leadership had left me drained. They had basically ambushed us, either intentionally or as a byproduct...
2024-06-03 15:48:07 +0000 UTC View PostSheora was short on details as she led us through the Rebel stronghold, eventually entering a turbolift that took us quite a few levels down. When we stepped out of the small space, it was a short walk to a heavily reinforced room. Sheora pressed a button on the side, activating some sort of PA s...
2024-05-31 15:29:48 +0000 UTC View PostAssault whisper yelled into his radio for a good few minutes before eventually guiding me through the PRT to a small waiting room, really more of a cutout corner along a long, mostly empty hallway. As we walked, Assault kept looking over his shoulder at me. When he gestured to one of the seats, h...
2024-05-30 15:30:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe first thing I did after reaching the garage was sit down with Samwise and install his upgrades. Unlike Riggs and Murtaugh, Sam knew exactly what he wanted to use the newly freed space removing his batteries created. We installed a series of sensor modules and scanners, all of which he m...
2024-05-29 15:36:37 +0000 UTC View PostSPOILER WARNINGS! Read the first chapter of Marvelous Mage before participating or reading ahead!

Hello everyone! William Kalus's second round of charges is fast approaching, so now it's time to select his bonus! As I stated last time, your first two choices are th...
2024-05-28 20:40:16 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I finally got back to the shop, stomach full and feeling a bit calmer about everything, I pulled out my burner phone and called the Protectorate hotline. I inquired about power testing, specifically for my healing ability. They seemed to have been waiting for my call because I was immediatel...
2024-05-28 14:20:54 +0000 UTC View PostWhen the Rebel Alliance abandoned their base on Yavin IV, it meant that for quite some time, several months at least, the meetings and discussions of the top members of the Rebel Alliance had been relegated to sporadically few secure holomeetings, messages over secure subnet systems and even via ...
2024-05-27 15:17:21 +0000 UTC View PostAhsoka and I spent a while chatting over a small meal before she disappeared to her room, returning with a datapad. She placed it on the table and sat back down opposite me.
"The first thing we should do is confirm that he...well, that he still exists," I said with a wince. "You said you ha...
2024-05-24 15:34:40 +0000 UTC View PostThe next vehicle was in slightly better shape than the first, probably due to its larger size. All three of its occupants were thankfully better off as well. Two children were sitting in the back, with an older man in the driver's seat. Other than a little whiplash, bruises, and some minor burns ...
2024-05-23 15:09:07 +0000 UTC View PostI was not surprised when I woke up the next morning, and it was already nearly two PM. Nor was I surprised to still feel tired as I rolled to the edge of my bed, eyes closed as I mentally reviewed the last few days. It was clear that I had pushed myself way too hard, way beyond what was healthy. ...
2024-05-22 15:56:43 +0000 UTC View PostDeacon and friends are off hunting for Kyber crystals, but what color is Luke's new saber going to be?
(Keep in mind that while Ahsoka and Deacon might know what some of the colors "mean" this won't be affecting Luke's path. )
2024-05-21 22:55:21 +0000 UTC View PostOnce we were far enough away from the shop that I didn't feel worried about leading people to the area, I quickly donned my uniform. As I did, Alya and I discussed what my singular charge had unlocked.
"Almost all of it is low-level, very short buffs," I explained, securing my mask ti...
2024-05-21 15:25:45 +0000 UTC View PostThe following morning, I stepped out of my room to find Tatnia and Ahsoka waiting for me, both of them chatting amicably about potential bounties that the team might chase while Ahsoka and I were gone. When I stepped out, carrying a bag of clothes for myself, I nodded to them.
"Mornin...
2024-05-20 15:22:31 +0000 UTC View PostOfficially done with our spar, the three of us headed down to the Skyforged living space. We had a steady rotation of actual food, something the Rebellion lacked, especially on this station. Rather than just throw something together, I took over the kitchen and decided to finally do someth...
2024-05-17 15:23:41 +0000 UTC View PostAfter turning to John and asking who was next, several people around the camp started shouting, asking to be next. For a moment, I was worried the whole camp would rush us, and I would need to demonstrate my other magic, but John was on top of it. He quickly stood on a small stack of pallets and ...
2024-05-16 15:23:20 +0000 UTC View PostBy the time we left Dakota Smith's garage, the sun was starting to set over the horizon, and I found myself nodding off in the passenger seat of Kaytlyn's Type-66. I had been working nearly nonstop for days now, and the break to check in with Dakota had let it all catch up to me. I was exhausted....
2024-05-15 15:44:43 +0000 UTC View PostHello! So, it's time for an interlude, and I want you guys to pick who it is focused on!
2024-05-14 21:37:07 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up a whole ten minutes before my alarm was set to go off, and I spent that time reabsorbing another batch of steel. I was already loving my nine-circle partional. Not having to clean the runes and reapply my blood every time I wanted to use it was amazing in and of itself, but the added ti...
2024-05-14 14:44:27 +0000 UTC View PostThe following day was a day of recovery and catching up, with my only real goal being to make the rounds of the station and see how everyone was doing. My first stop was Pola, who I found in his workshop, tinkering with something that made me very excited.
"Where did you find that?" I...

2024-05-11 14:42:45 +0000 UTC View PostThe moment the second CR70 descended from the sky and began unloading on our ships, both of the previously landed slaver ships started to rise again. They had clearly been waiting for it to arrive to support their escape. I cursed and turned to the one of the crew, the one in charge of the raindr...
