"No luck, I'm not getting comms at all." Well shit... Will glanced back down at the nav systems, trying his hardest to resist the urge to look towards the captain and pilot. It would only betray his nervousness, and that could only make things worse. Instead he went back to looking at the...

"Will, are you sure these are the coordinates Viduka gave us?" "Yeah, pretty sure," Will said. "Ah crap, stay calm, just check everything again," Will thought as he began to type the coordinates back into the computer. Each time, it would display the exact same location. Subconsciously...

"We could set up a colony, a foothold from which we could begin capturing the rest of the continent, and setting up the necessary resources extraction operations. It would certainly cut down on the long-term costs of conquest. But in the face of the death of Prince Richter, we can't appear too...

"I'll not do it." Giovanni ran his fingers through his hair. The Lord Treasurer's words were not surprising in the slightest. The cost of an invasion force would be outstanding, and now that the Lord Admiral had suggested refitting the Navy, it would be insane to go along. However, Giovanni...

Will looked down at the planet below. He had been to many planets throughout his career, but that still didn't change how awe-inspiring one was from space. How one could see so much, yet so little, hundreds of miles above a planet's surface. Damn, I forgot how cool this looked. Clearing...

Giovanni glanced at the room around him. The Empire's Spymistress had been the first to speak up, but Giovanni found that he was barely listening. This new war in Magelan was pressing him hard. Throughout his life, Giovanni had fought in many different types of conflicts, against professional...

Sorry it took me so long responding to the PM. I'm still in.

Aye aye, sir. Personality: Despite attempts to appear consistently happy, Claire is anything but. She suffers from frequent and serious mood swings that border on bipolar disorder. The mood swings are believed to be a side effect of her powers, and can range from small shifts in...

Kind of overlooked that second part, didn't I. Basically, the incident described in her bio was the only time something like that happened (she had a few incidents involving her auroras, but those are harmless), and something like that is already hard enough to explain. She also got lucky, and...

Double post, my bad

"On second thought, surprise me, sir. I'm sure you'll bring back something nice for your pilot. Oh and the navigator too. You want anything...Will, right?" Will shook his head as he opened his eyes. "Did I fall asleep? Ah crap. Glancing around the cabin, he took a moment to gather his...

This sounds like fun, here's my character. Personality: Despite attempts to appear consistently happy, Claire is anything but. She suffers from frequent and serious mood swings that border on bipolar disorder. The mood swings are believed to be a side effect of her powers, and can range...

"Hey there! So much for first impressions, right?" Will looked over his shoulder towards Langley, and let out a breath he didn't realize he'd been holding. Thank Christ, he thought, I thought I was going to have to pilot this thing. "Sorry about that. Just wanted to know what was back...

"Ladies 'n Gentlemen! You lot are gonna be deepartin' off now on your first litt'l run. Nothin' special. Just a walkabout ov'r to Tlaxcala, delivrin' a package to me mate Culina, he's a right one. He'll know whatta do once it's on ground, and he'll give tha payment ov'r." "Easy enough," Will...

"Gwon up in 'er. Giver a look. Get ta know 'er a bit." Will was getting a pretty good impression of the ship from the outside as it was. Simple, practical, and reliable. Well, the last part might have been wishful thinking, but the point still stood that this ship practically defined the term...
