Re: Caliginous Undertow (Bio)
"What do you mean, you're not even sure how it works?" The woman scowled at him, evidently unhappy with his answer. She gestured to the AGE Device again, irritably. She seemed to be full of a kind of nervous energy, the kind that didn't lend itself well to sitting still. "The Union built it, didn't ...

Re: Wish I Knew You (Phal)
BGM: 58tEG1YoeBk "We've located it." Within the depths of the derelict, several suits moved in the gloom. Multiple industrial-grade floodlights had been assembled in one of the many cavernous halls of its maze-like interior, casting the dark metal sheets that made it up in a harsh bleach white. Whi...

Photon Mind (RX)
When the delegation from Hyperlight Industries arrived after months of back and forth hemming and hawwing from either side, the Union may have been surprised to see how small it was, consisting of only a handful of suits, lawyers, and scientists. Whether this was all that truly composed the Colonial...

Quantum Heart (Omni)
"He's late." Outis of Siarnaq looked up from his personal terminal, closing its neon green surface, letting it wink out in the artificial twilight of Luna's fantastic underground city. He and some of the Hyperlight Corporation's assembly had remained with the Acidalium Class at the Lunar docks, part...

The Call (Enigma, Jade)
Darkness, and silence filled the residence of Alfimi Elwren aboard the wounded Gyrfalcon. The past tense already hung in the air, as evident by the single metal crate placed at its center. On the room's rudimentary bunk, a figure huddled against the wall, motionless, blankets gathered loosely about ...

Re: Into the Eternal Darkness; Into Fire and Into Ice
Alfimi heaved against the ground, still in the clutches of the emotional spasm that had gripped her. She gulped air in ragged, rasping breaths, as emergency cooling procedures took effect, and as Formicarius had touched her, the heat pouring off her frame would have been as evident as the scent of b...

Re: Into the Eternal Darkness; Into Fire and Into Ice
As Hawkwood spoke, and the color slipped from his features, Alfimi casually registered that he was attempting to block something from her view. She leaned slightly to her right, azure tresses bobbing as she did, to get a better look... and as she caught sight of the tank, her eyes widened with shock...

Re: Into the Eternal Darkness; Into Fire and Into Ice
Alfimi walked, dreamlike, with Captain Hawkwood, her footfalls seeming... heavier than usual. As they entered the storage area, a hand came up to cover her mouth in shock, as she witnessed the Lemniscate's awesome handiwork up close. The thought that Sara's components could be scattered in among tho...

BGM: bJsh9KyeV90 " Her... remains... " As Alfimi Elwren beheld the images presented to her, her head bowed, rendering her expression unreadable as she pored over them, barely managing to mouth the aforementioned phrase. Finally, there it was before her... the nightmare scenario she had never wanted...

Re: Into the Eternal Darkness; Into Fire and Into Ice
"She's... Missing?" Alfimi hazarded, blinking slowly, uncertainly. Missing in action...? That wasn't like her. Sara would crawl back on stumps if she had to. So... What did it mean, then? She would have to see a recording of the battle, perhaps, to see how it played out. For now, she opted to wait f...

Re: Into the Eternal Darkness; Into Fire and Into Ice
"Alfimi Elwren." Repeated Blanchefleur, with a look of mock surprise, putting her hands on her hips as she turned her sights on the steaming gynoid once more. She gave a satisfied smirk. "There, see? That wasn't so hard, was it?" Still smirking, she kicked away from the group, giving a polite wave a...

Re: Into the Eternal Darkness; Into Fire and Into Ice
"Captain Hawkwood." Alfimi turned to look at the Gyrfalcon's resident master as he arrived - for once, genuinely grateful to see him. His passion for prose and general airiness had often caused her to grind her teeth as she waited for him to get the point, but this time, she was happy to let him tal...

Re: Caliginous Undertow (Bio)
She beamed at him, a ray of sparkling light in the darkness, eyes aglitter. "I'm glad you asked!" She said, sunnily. "See, a little bird told us about this really great toy you had. This... AGE System." - At this she produced the AGE Device that had been confiscated from him, flicking it up into the...

Re: Caliginous Undertow (Bio)
At the word 'pilot', the woman's expression suddenly changed, going completely neutral, as if it were trained response. She leaned back slowly, all traces of her playful demeanor gone, and pressed something on the tablet, bringing it up in front of her. As she did, a holographic projection of one of...

Re: Into the Eternal Darkness; Into Fire and Into Ice
They docked without incident, Alfimi trotting ahead of Formicarius urgently. As she did, and the true result of her little expedition was coming into view, a thought occurred, as her eyes widened with surprise. How many times had she been here? Walking into the hangar in the aftermath of a battle......

Re: Caliginous Undertow (Bio)
The woman raised an eyebrow at Chris’s query, and gave a slight pout at his disregarding if her question. Still, her response was immediate, as she innocently asked:
“Who?”
“Who?”

Re: Into the Eternal Darkness; Into Fire and Into Ice
“Please, and thank you.” Said Alfimi over the communicator in response, raising herself back up to give Formicarius a nod. She remained where she was, at the front of the craft, evidently eager to catch sight of the Falcon as soon as possible. Her internal locator still showed no sign of Sara, even ...

Re: Into the Eternal Darkness; Into Fire and Into Ice
Alfimi recognized the voice - not quite well enough to put a name to a face, but enough to know it belonged to someone on the Falcon. That was a small relief, at least - if the ship was intact, there was a greater chance that all was well after all. “It’s Elwren, just on my way back from my assignme...

Re: Into the Eternal Darkness; Into Fire and Into Ice
Alfimi sat aboard the transport in uncharacteristic tight-lipped silence as it hurtled towards an unknown conclusion. The Hexenhammer agent's unusual proclivities seemed none of her concern, despite her intense distrust of them only a short time earlier. Crisis has a way of sharpening the mind, and ...

Caliginous Undertow (Bio)
It really just was not Chris's day. Once the Prometheus's surrender was confirmed, it was then boarded by Mobile Workers that had been hiding in the shoals, from which emerged ranks of black-armored soldiers. Their gear appeared to be the kind issued to Colony riot-police... albeit, of an older mode...
