“Have you studied for your history exam yet Robert?” Sam asked him as they boarded the monorail back to their living district. “Not yet, I hate history.” He replied, trying to avoid thinking about the massive exam on 21st-century myths and worship. “It’s not THAT bad, Sam responded. I think they can be pretty fun.… Continue reading 21st-Century Gods
[I almost forgot to write today!] The alien led them along similar hallways to that of the other ship. Arthur began to wonder how any of them found their way around in a ship like this. However, for the alien, it seemed to be not a problem at all, and they were brought into a… Continue reading Defenders (Part 27)
“Yes,” Lindsey answered the alien. “We were attacked on the way here. We’re all that made it I think.” The alien’s face made what Arthur could only guess was a concerned expression. “Very well, I’m sending an override to your shuttle to dock at section C74. We’ll debrief you soon.” And with that, the line… Continue reading Defenders (Part 26)
It wasn’t much longer until Lindsey slowed down the ship from faster than light and a grouping of several vessels like the one the one they had just abandoned came into view.

The interaction seemed to help stabilize them both. “Do any of you have an idea what that was… Continue reading Defenders (Part 23)

Smaller ships hung down in racks with what Arthur could see was the void of space below. “To… Continue reading Defenders (Part 21)
“Move!” Helios shouted again, and Arthur with the others continued down the hall. The two soldiers who had been escorting them held their ground returning fire with the boarding party. The captain fired as well but moved backward, keeping pace with the recruits. Laser fire ripped into blue light as it impacted what Arthur could… Continue reading Defenders (Part 20)
