They'd gotten back. In the end, that's all it felt like. A group of thirty had gone to a planet, have things gone poorly since being greeted, then found themselves lied to, exploded, and abducted in the same twenty-four hours. Then they'd set up a confrontation that'd taken days to reach fruition, broken into teams to achieve mission objectives ( Read more... )

It was a quiet day in the Atori as it were, with Philip scribbling on his white boards that now dominated the front area as well.

Philip was thinking about something. With time being so screwy on the ship, he thought he had forgotten about something important...

As promised, Hoshi went over to the Atori Teahouse with the needed items in hand: the vinegar to get Philip out of the can he was stuck in and the two items she picked up for him as well. They were as wrapped as they were going to be, what with not having any wrapping paper on board. Not that it deterred her, though! It was the thought that counted ( Read more... )

Sakura sighed, pushing her hair back off her forehead. The time inconsistencies were troubling, but there was little she could do with the Time Dragons officially back in place on Era. MedBay didn't need her for the moment, which left her for time to do something she'd wanted to since picking up his broadcast on the Omnicomm. She sent Ren a ( Read more... )

There was something that was good about having her as a partner - she was dedicated when she was given a goal to work towards, and that current goal was unlocking Xtreme. She had woken up early that morning, worked out a bit to get the blood flowing and then left the Masaki home with leaving a note as to where she was going ( Read more... )

There was something wrong with Ren. It was becoming more and more clear to him. He didn't know just what it was, but the more he thought about it, the more he realized things just seemed...off. Like collapsing the week before. There was no reason he should have fallen or why his heart should have stopped. Sure, he'd had an intense training ( Read more... )

Compared to what he’d gotten used to back home, Ren found mornings at Atori on Stacy to be relatively stress-free. His roommate didn’t snore so badly that it was impossible to get even an hour of sleep, he wasn’t picking fights with anyone over their stupidity, he didn’t have a landlady pressuring him to help out in the shop…all in all, it was ( Read more... )

There was another pile of books all over the floor at Atori ( Read more... )

Someone on the omnicoms had seen that according to the calendar set up on the ship for all this time, it was nearing Christmas. Christmas had only been a couple of months ago by Ren's personal calendar, dated to when he'd left, and it had been a bittersweet affair, with him and Shinji forced to watch as Yui began to fade away ( Read more... )

Ren's life had been hell for the past year. He'd watched more people die than he cared to think about and had lost one of his only friends. The Ohm had destroyed his world, and even if he did get everything restored, he knew he still had to kill his only remaining friend if he had any hope of saving his fiancee ( Read more... )
