The rec room was unusually quiet for an evening on the ship; with shifts turning over and exhausted crew members eager for relaxation and good company the room was usually at least semi-crowded and abuzz with the din of easy conversation between friends. Regardless, with the exception of a few relatively quiet officers in the far corner, the room ( Read more... )

It was one of life's great mysteries, Adrian thought, that it was possible to ace every test the Academy threw at trainee pilots and still be completely unable to master a simple racing game. He swore under his breath as he braked too late and smashed into the wall that ran alongside the track ( Read more... )

Sky didn't like mornings. In fact she never greeted anyone with a 'good morning' on the principle that mornings were never ever even remotely close to good. However the ship was pulling into Space dock today for Shore Leave, and so everyone was up and about doing final organising and fussing. Everyone who hadn't been rostered on for the graveyard ( Read more... )

There really wasn't much to do, not now that they were en route towards their next assignment. Kirk kind of enjoyed the free time -- holed up in the recreation room after his shift, playing chess against a computer panel, the game a reprieve for his mind. The computer normally won -- when you had something that could calculate any game's turn out, ( Read more... )
