Hugh thought they had dealt with the monster rather quickly, but apparently, they didn’t get the first kill this time. The GCA didn’t say who the lucky winner was, probably to keep other cores from gaining intel on each other’s accomplishments. Once they figured out its ...
2023-02-03 16:04:45 +0000 UTC View PostThe upgrades to the fortifications, the addition of several automated turrets, and the construction of the add-ons for each factory delayed the start of Hugh’s port facility. He only had eleven minutes before the next wave when his drones began their work. It started with a ...
2023-02-01 15:21:29 +0000 UTC View Post“Do you have enough firepower?” Hugh asked as Tran’s infantry, supported by a pair of main battle mechs, gathered in the jungle near the cave entrance that they had found earlier. A half dozen of the giant millipede mechs still lingered around the area, but they had no i...
2023-01-30 16:43:15 +0000 UTC View PostMore and more of the monster mech emerged from the sea as it approached the beach. Its body looked similar to a seal if a seal had a maw filled with teeth for a head and a score of giant tentacles that fired beams of energy. The rows of teeth constantly moved around inside the...
2023-01-27 15:42:26 +0000 UTC View Post“Hugh, do we have any idea where the attack will come from?” Cartwright asked.
“No, but given the bunker placement, I’m thinking they’ll hit us from the sea. Since the other cores have been fighting for a little while, this won’t be the first wave, so it coul...
2023-01-26 01:01:49 +0000 UTC View Post“Everyone pull back to the command post, we’ll make our stand there,” Hugh ordered.
“We’ve got about five minutes before they hit, can you finish getting my infantry upgraded?” Tran asked.
When the command post had upgraded to tier four, the barracks ha...
2023-01-23 16:36:22 +0000 UTC View PostYour core has been connected to the command post.
Hugh looked around the area as the last bits of his carrier unfolded and joined the command post. It was already activating and building its construction drones. To Hugh’s surprise, the 20mm cannon from...
2023-01-20 20:30:42 +0000 UTC View PostHugh’s gunboats spread out in front of the carrier, giving the larger ship more room to maneuver. The shoreline was approaching rapidly and he could now make out three concrete bunkers guarding the beach area. A spot further inland near the tree line was highlighted as his c...
2023-01-16 19:35:55 +0000 UTC View PostHugh wasn’t sure what to expect. He knew the final stage of the trial was supposed to be something similar to a normal battle, but so far, the GCA hadn’t given him much in the way of details. There wasn’t even a war core anywhere aboard the escape pod he was on. When Hug...
2023-01-11 21:43:48 +0000 UTC View PostHugh waited for another few hours, his security drones kept up their watch over the entrance while the maintenance drone worked on things inside. It finished repairs to the damaged turret and rebuilt the front door and windows of the security office. After that, Hugh had it re...
2023-01-09 16:45:39 +0000 UTC View PostHugh became more and more concerned as the pounding on the reinforced door to the security office continued. While it wasn’t on the verge of breaking down, he could see that the door rattled a bit more in its frame which would only hasten its eventual failure. A quick check ...
2023-01-04 20:18:22 +0000 UTC View PostI hope everyone had a great holiday season and you're recovering from too much fun. This week is a busy one, with the kids still out of school, and a short trip planned with my wife, so writing time will be limited.
We'll still have a War Core Wednesday, but I don't think I'll have ti...
2023-01-02 17:24:11 +0000 UTC View PostNow that Hugh was satisfied the door wasn’t going to somehow unlock and open on its own, he took a look at the interior of the security office. It was an odd setup. The rear of the station was like a small warehouse, and several office cubicles were up near the door front. A...
2022-12-28 21:53:55 +0000 UTC View PostI'll be taking a few days off for Christmas with the family, I hope you all have a great holiday! War Core will be back next Wednesday with Chapter 13, and I hope to have a special announcement to make at that time.

2022-12-21 16:52:46 +0000 UTC View PostHssim took off at a slow jog, not because he was worried about tiring everyone out, but more because he was looking for the best route through the throng of infected. The things were spread thick around the station offices. As they moved closer, the signs of combat were seen, ...

Hugh took one last moment to confirm his gear was in place as the announcement appeared. His wounds had healed during the remaining time they had spent inside the safe zon...
2022-12-05 18:01:47 +0000 UTC View PostHugh woke from a deep sleep with a dull pain throbbing in his side. The face of a monster hovered over him as he opened his eyes, causing Hugh to shriek and scramble across the floor. It took a moment to remember where he was and what was going on. A soft rumble from Blaylock a...

The party pushed through the lightly forested area, moving toward the objective that only Hssim could see. They ran into more groups of the four-armed aliens as they progressed, each a small hunting party of four or five individuals. Hugh tried to join in and assist as much as ...
2022-11-28 18:21:58 +0000 UTC View PostThe group stood there confused as the ceiling of the compartment they were in opened and the walls retracted into the ground. From what Hssim had told them, Hugh and the others were expecting a fight inside different compartments of a large structure. Instead of what they expec...

Sorry for the delays, and I'll pack in some extra chapters once I'm back to work.
2022-11-14 20:23:15 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, I wanted to give an update on this week. My kids brought home the crud from school, and we're all sick with high fevers. I can't write much this week other than promo posts on social media for the Cat Core audio, but I'll try to get some extra chapters out for you next week. 2022-11-11 18:15:41 +0000 UTC View Post
Before digging into the new abilities, Larson left his cabin and flagged down one of the sailors on watch, ordering him to gather the officers and Lord Buxton. They were likely scattered about the town and fortress, working to get things in order. While he waited, Larson dug in...
