Looking around the mess Arthur grabbed himself a tray and found something that looked edible and put it on his plate. He saw Fin stand out from the crowd and figured he might as well try to find people he knew. He put his tray down on the table and sat down. The others from… Continue reading Defenders (Part 37)
It felt like ages before someone returned. The gray alien along with a tenticale alien that looked like the one who instructed their data-pads to be handed out… maybe it was the same one, how would he know?

He couldn’t breathe. Arthur felt his lungs empty, and there was nothing but the darkness, and it crushed him down both inside and without until a bright light nearly blinded him. He gasped for air and found he was looking back up into the small gray alien’s face. “Hmmm.” It said looking down at him… Continue reading Defenders (Part 34)

An alien all covered in hair that reminded Arthur of a Wookiee but with only one large central eye and was wearing an officer’s uniform entered the room. “Recruits!” He shouted to them in a gravely voice. “Welcome to Avalon. Please follow the marked paths for transportation down to the planet. Once there you will… Continue reading Defenders (Part 24)
“So um… it seems you know more about the program than me,” Arthur started to ask, “can you tell me what happens next?” “Next?” Fin responded. “We arrive at Avalon.
