The young woman's sudden shift at my words was startling, but since healing was such a rare power to have, I could understand some strange reactions.
"I was hoping to get some advice from the city's best healer," I repeated. "Like I said, I would have-"
"You can heal?" Panacea a...
2024-05-09 15:27:17 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Sam and I returned, we found the two ALEO units sitting down inside the side room, waiting for us. Stepping into the room with the armored unit was an interesting feeling. I could only imagine that it must have been just the barest sliver of what the scavs and 6th Street gangers went through...
2024-05-08 15:39:41 +0000 UTC View PostSo, up to chapter five, William has been using Mage as his name, but he has stated that it's just a placeholder. For the rest of the week, this is your opportunity to suggest possible hero names! After a while, I'll make a poll with my favorites, plus a few I think of on my own, so that you can ...
2024-05-07 21:34:24 +0000 UTC View PostHello! This is the last catch-up chapter, so starting on the 9th, we will be returning to the usual posting schedule of one chapter per posting day. I hope you enjoy!

It took me a few hours to fall asleep when I got back to the shop, mostly because I was wired from what I...
2024-05-07 15:53:36 +0000 UTC View PostI was out of the shop and walking quickly down the sidewalk less than a minute after Alya reached out to me. I was hardly even paying attention to where I was going, letting my soul-bonded friend guide with the blowing wind.
As I did, I made sure to duck into an alley or two, sliding ...
2024-05-07 15:00:57 +0000 UTC View PostI headed straight for the hangar once the Whale landed down on the ice and snow, specifically somewhere without any of the buried B2s.
I entered the large hangar and smiled, seeing the five V-wings landed and ready for combat. Toggle, the clone in charge of the pilots spotted...
2024-05-06 15:36:26 +0000 UTC View PostYou named Samwise, now it's time to name the next to AI bros!
ALEO 1 - is the strategy leader bot, who is in charge of security and the Specters
ALEO 2- is the bot inside the warden armor

I would also like to apologize for taking so long to get a new Poll up...
With nothing holding us back and a loose but encroaching deadline set, we immediately got to work. It was quickly decided that I would remain behind while Tatnia and Vaz captained the L-2783. Our first priority was getting them ready and seeing them off, which required quite a bit of reshuffling....
2024-05-03 15:33:10 +0000 UTC View PostHello! Just a reminder that this is a total rewrite of the original and that I will be posting three chapters today, so make sure you're reading them in order. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy!

2024-05-02 14:42:09 +0000 UTC View PostI set down a large cup of coffee on my workstation, sitting at my computer with a huff. While my first instinct was to dive right in and start designing stuff, I knew I would regret not having some sort of plan. So, after giving it some thought, I started a list.
By the time it was do...
2024-05-01 15:06:57 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a lot of consideration and debate, I have finally decided to rewrite BBMM. I was disappointed in several aspects of the story, unhappy with my direction, and unhappy with how the power was working. Everything that was voted for will stay the same, as will the voting system for the bonus cha...
2024-04-30 23:31:41 +0000 UTC View PostAs I continued to heal myself, I did my best to shake off the deep, creeping cold that had started to squeeze in on me. The fact that it had spiked so far made me nervous about what it would feel like to completely drain myself since, as far as I could feel, I had only been down by two-thirds. Al...
2024-04-30 15:42:27 +0000 UTC View PostAfter Nal and the troopers returned from their scan through the hallways around the hangar, I left him in charge. With him keeping an eye on the hangar, I went up to meet with the rest of the crew and to meet the pirates' captives. It turned out that a large chunk of the ship's crew quarter...
2024-04-29 14:50:25 +0000 UTC View PostWe jumped into our target system a few hours after we located it, coming in on the far end of a cluster of planets. The sun was between us and the planet the pirates were landed on, meaning there was little chance they had spotted our arrival. Of course, this also meant we couldn't scan them. We ...
2024-04-26 15:16:31 +0000 UTC View PostSPOILERS FOR BROCKTON BAY'S MARVELOUS MAGE
So, Marvelous Mage is still in its early stages, meaning that there is still time to adjust and shift things around. I want to know what everyone thinks so far about the concept, the powers, the direction of the characters, and anything that...
2024-04-25 17:16:23 +0000 UTC View PostI spent a few minutes doing some light stretches and exercises to better feel for how well the ritual had gone. I was definitely heavier than I had been before, probably by a good thirty pounds. My enhanced strength made it easy to ignore, but I could feel that my steps were heavier. My flexibili...
2024-04-25 15:36:46 +0000 UTC View PostThe next four days went by in a blur.
Samwise and I were working on our latest projects nearly nonstop. We already had the molly-maker and the material suspender, which just left the mass recycler and the activator. I managed to finish the design for the recycler the night I shook han...
2024-04-24 15:55:28 +0000 UTC View PostMy thoughts were stuck in gridlock for a long few minutes before I finally shook my head. I needed to get out, a change of scenery to help my thinking. Brockton Bay was a coastal town, a walk down by the boardwalk would do the job just fine. I needed to think, and sulking in the back of an abando...
2024-04-23 15:44:13 +0000 UTC View PostDespite seeming like a no-brainer choice to Nal, Vaz, and myself, I still wanted to see what some of the others thought. As a group, the Skyforged was now just a big too big to be a full democracy, but I still wanted to hear what other people had to say. After all, you never know what sort of stu...
2024-04-22 15:04:12 +0000 UTC View PostYou've selected a name, now its time for you to pick what William Kalus looks like! (Yes, I know, AI-generated people have a certain... look. Try not to let that color your choice.)
We spent an hour or so with the kids and Sheora, before eventually we went our separate ways. Despite skipping out for a few hours, Princess Leia did insist that she actually did have to perform her duties, and Luke hadn't actually moved into his temporary quarters. When the four of them left, it...
2024-04-19 15:28:26 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I sat down again, after experimenting with my new knowledge of Lightning Spells, I realized that I could actually feel the difference. I felt a slightly drained sensation, as if part of me was heavy and yet hollow at the same time. A chill ran up my spine, my body feeling just a tad bit cold...
2024-04-18 15:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostSince the last poll had such a short deadline, I thought I would do a few more short ones. The first one, name the MC! I'll probably do some AI face stuff next, so look forward to that!
2024-04-18 01:13:00 +0000 UTC View PostWhile Jackie went over the gang base with a fine-tooth comb, looking for anything worth taking and stuffing it into our bags, I stood watch. I picked a spot at the entrance to the open pavilion, my back to the heavily perforated mini-shop that sat in the middle. I kept my eyes on the road, watchi...
2024-04-17 16:04:37 +0000 UTC View PostSPOILER WARNINGS! Read the first chapter of Marvelous Mage before participating or reading ahead!

Hello everyone! Welcome to the first Poll for Marvelous Mage! A quick warning: This poll will only remain open for 24 hours, and I will be using it to write the second chapte...
2024-04-16 16:55:15 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up with a swirling, all-encompassing headache. It felt like my brain had been scooped out of my skull, put in a blender, and pureed before being poured back into my head. My thoughts felt slippery and heavy, like trying to move something massive while anchored to the bottom of a large rive...
2024-04-16 15:53:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the trip home went by relatively quickly, with everyone mostly keeping to themselves. In normal circumstances, it wouldn't have been considered a long trip, and everyone spent a lot of time sleeping it really flew by.
When we did finally returned to Omega Station, Ya...
2024-04-15 15:50:56 +0000 UTC View PostOnce the Star Destroyer was over us, my decision to wait for a while was pretty much locked in. The combination of the Star Destroyer and the surrounding swarms of TIE fighters and other assets made it unlikely that we would survive very long.
We waited quietly inside the interior of ...
