"Umi… what are you doing aboard this ship?" I kept my voice neutral as I spoke to the robotic female voice that came from everywhere at once around me. "Oh my, it appears the human is aware of my designation, yet my records show he has never initiated contact with me. Hypothesis: We have spoken…
Commander Beatrix stared evenly out at the battlefield, her jaw set hard into its socket. Things were looking grim. She had started out with a few hundred warships, and a few thousand fighters and bombers. The enemy had started out with twice their numbers in all forms, and their ships were much bigger, tougher, and…
Ancient Lunaris surveyed the battlefield coldly, her lack of emotions apparent to all on the bridge. Naturally, the majority of Volgrim held no ability to communicate emotionally, but some could express forms of fondness for those they had grown close to in some fashion or another. Lunaris was unable to form even a drop of…
"Harold. Activate Lightning Mode." I spoke mentally to him, as the shadowy forms entered the room. In the blink of an eye, I felt my suit’s primary systems come online all at once. "You got it, boss! Heh heh heh!" I swiveled my head to the side, noticing that my body had become completely invisible….
Thanksgiving, 2024. "Thank you, Mr. President." I smile as President Steven Johannesburg, now two years into his second term, slides a saucer of gravy over to me. Taking the saucer by its handle, I pour a decent amount of gravy on my mashed potatoes. Reaching to my side, I pick up a spoon and dig…

This prototype, unlike the other ships of the past, was designed and built by humans wholly without my help. It’s been a year since my encounter with…
Nufaris entered into the room behind Officer Duplis, keeping pace but not moving too quickly. His heart pounded a thousand times a minute as he took note of the ten Volgarians in the room. Volgarians gained very distinctive features as they aged, and their mental abilities increased dramatically as well. The five Volgarians in the…
"The European Front is being devastated! Their weapons far outmatch ours! Where is Russia?! Where is Egypt?! Where is the USA?!" Commander Beatrix, a stalwart woman of British descent, eyed her nav-console as it blinked red, indicating minor damage to the hull. On-board the United Earth Forces "Destroyer-Class" dreadnought, the UEF Braddock was engaging in…
FTL drives are not a thing yet. I keep trying to make them, but the best I’ve got right now is sub-light drives, putting us at 99% the speed of light.
