Hinton turned out to be a tiny, heavily industrialized town nestled in a valley between the mountains. Surprisingly, it seemed decently well defended, with an eight foot brick wall around the perimeter, and a PMC patrolling the perimeter.

As my projection bed cracked open I stretched out. I was stiff, but ultimately satisfied with my win. I quickly rolled to my feet and shuffled over to the pen to release George. As soon as he saw me the giant spider huffed, and pushed past me into the room.

When we arrived back home Alan received a lot of berating, led by Jane, followed by lots of hugs, led by Issi. I intentionally stepped aside, and grabbed a nutribar, since Alan and I sort of already had our moment. Since Alan was obviously feeling overwhelmed, and more than a little ashamed, he d...

“Games night!” Calliope yelled as she rode into the games room on the back of Toto. She was already wrapped up in a massive blanket, and carrying a plate of pastries on her lap. More than a few people looked up from their games, as she passed, annoyed at her antics, but she ignored them as sh...

I was really unhappy with the first version, so after taking a walk, and rethinking it, I rewrote the start. Dealing with Helen directly, and the two samurai that showed up. Kept some of the old draft, but it feels much better now. At least to me.

I'll be honest, not my favourite chapter... by a long shot. With all the negativity around Helen, I just want to get to the end of this arc, and into another Antithesis centred one. Will probably touch this up a little before it's released, but the just is here.

Alan felt his feet leave the ground as his Guiding Light escort threw him into a dark room. “Stay there, and keep quiet. The boss wants you alive, but I doubt she’ll care if we have to rough you up a little.” The monster of a man threw a blanket onto the floor, before closing and locking th...

“What’s with you?” Sharron asked, as I gently smacked my head into the wall.

“I’m not going up there,” Calliope said, as the group looked up at the Cliff. There was a narrow path, winding its way up a narrow cliff, with a number of seabirds, and the occasional harpy, flying from alcove to alcove. Below was a series of jagged rocks, and rough seas.

After a few days of obsessively checking the squirrels, in an attempt to prevent Helen from carrying out her plans, all I had was a bad case of paranoia, and a splitting headache. As I lay face down on the couch, a pillow covering my head, I felt a small hand on my back.

“So what gave me away?” Helen asked as we slipped into a side room. She’d dropped the uptight, assistant persona, and slid into an easychair with a smirk. “It was the eyeroll wasn’t it. I knew it was too much, but I couldn’t help it.”

Little bit more for you guys. Sorry that it's a little late.
