Since the mysterious memory leak that had plagued the station in weeks past, Victoria's mental state had been more fragile then usual. Confronted once more with images of her youth, and the loss that went along with them, Victoria was akin to a doll whose porcelain exterior had been slightly cracked, letting things long buried show through ( Read more... )

As Cain sat in his laboratory, he was acutely aware of a sort of tunnel vision effect that began around the edges of his vision. This would not be terribly abnormal but for the fact that when he looked at the object that seemed to be warping, it stayed warped, just slightly. Not enough to notice it was off unless you saw it happen ( Read more... )

Katriel didn't want to think about the quantity of energy credits this station had to be burning through each day. More than her entire village. Maybe more than all Sehalda itself, on an off day. It seemed utterly, obscenely wasteful to a person raised on a world where scarcity made of it a second currency.

And yet she couldn't call this a rich ( Read more... )

Since she had arrived Victoria had silently been keeping track of her time in the station. Every day upon waking she would draw another line upon piece of paper that normally lay hidden beneath her bed. Though the stations computer system tracked date and time, the recording took on a special meaning for the doll-maiden. For her it meant knowing ( Read more... )

It seemed as if despair had been in season at in the station the last few days, with tragedy and darkness laying heavily over the minds of many.
For Victoria, it had been the near loss of someone close to her and her own failure to defend another that cast a long shadow ( Read more... )

Victoria's mood and state of mind had been in flux for the greater portion of a week. She had been quite concerned for Cain from the loud yelling and breaking of glass that accompanied the loss of his beloved sister but was quickly set to ease upon his promise to meet with her upon the passing of such morose feelings. Indeed the doll-maiden had ( Read more... )

Sora had been out of her cryo-sleep pod for only a few hours, but she was already feeling more confused and overwhelmed than she had in a very long time. This was stranger than Utopia Academy, and that was saying something. She'd apparently been asleep in some sort of pod for a while, and upon awakening someone had stuck a slimy creature of some ( Read more... )
