Chapter 16

We have Bob on the comms when we finally settle in to return to real space. I take a last glance at the big screen and the Drift, that infinite void, the nothingness broken up by floating pink and purple clouds of mysterious energy. We shut everything down to engage the Drift eng...

Chapter 21

Frank gets his kit out and goes to work. After a few minutes of testing, he chuckles, “It's not too bad… an aphrodisiac, pheromones, some sugar, some flavoring… and oh yeah, it's about a hundred fifty proof,” the elf shakes his head. “You don't have to worry about passing disease...

Chapter 24

We collect the samples as spelled out in our contract, and on the way back to the Veskarium to report, I get to work on my other projects. The first is replacing my current body, as I expect most of the buffs are tied to that. It's actually surprisingly simple: I build an e...

Chapter 27

“Where's my suite?” The entitled client growls out as I work. “At the bottom of the port stairwell,” I answer distractedly. “You're not even going to show me to it?” I can see through the ship's cameras right now… he's frowning at me. “You seemed in a hurry to l...

Chapter 30

Skydock. It's a space station in orbit around Veres… well, not exactly in orbit: It's the counterweight for a space elevator. They don't see much use anymore: Modern antigravity and thrusters have rendered such things obsolete… but it's still the trade gateway for the planet. Of...

…'s office. And for once, he's not reading: He's pacing. Which shows off the matching slacks to go with his suit coat and tie. He's not wearing the glasses, so I turn my head down and avoid contact with his lack of eyes as I get to work. “What can I do…” he considers a...

Chapter 41

I feel that tingle in my head again, and the nice, viscerally disturbing voice gives me an answer, "Things that could happen in a normal pregnancy, within certain limits. Fatigue, back pain, cravings, nausea, that sort of thing, and magic and will work for most of it. She's...

Chapter 42

I think about that as I tour my upgraded ship. Not only can she not kill me, but she has to keep me alive? I come back from the dead, so it can't be my destiny that triggers the order. Which means… I part my boobs and stare at my currently flat stomach for a moment, “You have a j...

Chapter 8

Detective Alice Silver wakes up eventually, and looks me in the eye, “Well good morning…” she glances around, “wait… we were in the tub all night?” I hum, feeling pleasantly warm, “Well… I'm not strong enough to pick you up, and honestly: There was an amazing, intelligent, stron...

Chapter 12

I watch Alice play with her new pet for an hour, chuckling and just watching her enjoy having her magic. That's about when Adam comes out in just his pants and shoes. He stares openly at the impossible beast under his partner, “Umm. What? You made a giant cat for her to pl...

Chapter 13

“You realize that means I'll need to read through the whole thing?” I don't really mind, but he might. “Well… yes…” he takes a breath, “...but I can have you read it, or find out the hard way what I can and can't do, and you seem decent enough.” I nod, “Okay. I'll n...

Chapter 14

I write out Alice's sheet, and get mine and another suite cleaned up by the time the game rolls around. When I hear the doorbell ring, I drop what I'm doing, dismiss the summons, and go get all handsy with Alice as she opens the door. Alice's butt is amazingly squeezable, by the...

Chapter 18

We go through and plan everything out. We all have to end up as Heirophants - which works well for me: I am a Divine Caster, and Inspired Spell rocks - but doesn't work nearly as well for anyone else (Spheres of Power doesn't do the Arcane/Divine/Psychic divide, and doesn't have...

Chapter 27

When they finally finish, and rapidly fall asleep like everyone else whom I've seen drink up, I stand and cloak myself in my wings. The two detectives are apparently finishing up some paperwork, and there's a crew taking pictures of the scene, bagging spent shells, and such. The...

Chapter 40

I use my standard stacking to get the enchantments done in four hours… over six hundred grand in market value. I can get the basic enhancement bonus up to +6 by spending Mythic on the Endless Ammunition path ability from The Stranger Mythic path (and can eliminate the misfire cha...
