Subgalaxia: Ch 22

Ishan stepped into a closet sized bedroom stuffed with a bunk bed, a dresser, and a crate of worn toys.  The sun cast orange rays on the brown shag carpet. Greasy wood paneling held onto the nauseating scent of tobacco.  Laughter alerted him to the door behind him. He eased the warm brass handle to…

Subgalaxia: Ch 21

“What?” Fane opened the door to Sophia’s banging as Ishan pulled his kurta on.  Sophia tripped forward through the door frame, startled at the sudden change. Ishan tossed the black compression top to Fane. “The orb connected fully!” she boasted excitedly.  Fane pulled his shirt on over his head as he raised a suspicious eyebrow…

Subgalaxia: Ch 20 – NSFW

NSFW: Erotica Fane collapsed onto the bed in his and Ishan’s room.  They had returned to the warehouse when Bern had released him.  He had thrown himself through a shower, brushed his teeth, and pulled one of the more creative mechanics off the shop floor to lop off his locks.  He ran a hand through…

Subgalaxia: Ch 18

“Labrat!  Grab you’re sticky dots and your laptop.” Fane leaned into Sophia’s office.  Sophia, as usual, was buried up to her shoulders in charts and reports. Fane figured she was the reason for deforestation.  Corbin popped his head out from beneath a different desk in the room. Fane raised a confused eyebrow at him. “I…

Subgalaxia: Ch 17

It was still dark out when Fane roused from a dead sleep.  He stretched and blinked. He had woken up two minutes before his morning alarm.  He had slept. He had really and truly slept solidly for once since before Melody had died.  No nightmares, no creatures, no interruptions. He glanced at the slowly lightening…

Subgalaxia: Ch 16

Fane trapsed out of the ship and through the dark machinists field into the middle section of the warehouse.  He made his way down to the infirmary where he peeled off the electrodes speckling his skin and tossed them in the bin.  He dug around in the first aid kit and found antiseptic spray, gauze,…

Subgalaxia: Ch 14

It was late in the afternoon.  Lunch had been simple and fast.  Sophia had made sure of that. Fane and Bern sat on the bed on either side of the white wolf.  Yeller sat in a chair facing them, worry creasing his expression. Ishan leaned up against the wall next to the door.  Sophia had…

Subgalaxia: Ch 5

Corbin swept his papers to the side of the lab table.  “What did you find?” Sophia asked as she tidied up the papers, shoving them into their respective files.  For the life of him, he couldn’t quite figure out why Sophia’s desk could be a complete disaster zone, but she insisted on filing his papers….

Subject 15: Ch 25

“You got a glitch?” Marjorta grabbed Fane by the shoulders to steady him. Ishan muttered, “Nope, might be a bit tipsy, though.” “You both went and got smashed before a raid?” Her crisp voice made Fane wince. “He’ll be fine in a minute. Mind setting the parameters to not be gore?” Ishan pointed to the…

Subject 15: Ch 24

“Hey, Fane!” Shelly barely knocked on the door before opening it with a crash. Fane flinched at the woman’s blunt intrusion during his meditation time. “Good evening to you too, Shelly.” She flounced onto his rug, her lavender skirts ballooning out on the antique red Persian. Bright eyes stared at him intently, keeping Fane from…
