The Nature of Predators 2-60

Memory Transcription Subject: Elias Meier, Former UN Secretary-General

Date [standardized human time]: November 16, 2160

With each passing month in this new form, I became more reacclimated to life as a synthetic. Being alive and feeling once more was difficult after knowing the peace of death, compounded by the sensory hell of this body. I wanted ...

The Nature of Predators - Krev Exchange Program (1/7)

Memory Transcription Subject: Flevi, Krev Opinion Columnist

“What does any homeowner do with an infestation of suvrels—hey, are those like termites?” the human paused his reading at the first sentence, with a puzzled expression cute enough to melt glaciers.

I couldn’t underscore enough ho...

The wall of ships in front of Nishtal was comprised of diverse, formidable craft. There were six figures on each side, making this an unimaginable clash of metal war machines. The differences in strategies within the Sapient Coalition’s ran...

The United Nations had been mysteriously supportive of Bissems in the past few weeks, while offering gifts for nothing in return and smoothing feathers with our other nations. That charity had been enough to pique General Naltor’s suspicion...

Finding myself staring at Ambassador Loxsel, who was newly-arrived to the Sivkit settlement on Ivrana, I couldn’t help but be floored by the size of the mountain of oranges that he was sitting on. 

The incoming supply of oranges w...

After I’d seen how she lived in the cramped cavern below Tellus’ surface, Cherise Benson returned the favor by visiting my enclave. It was highly uncommon to have alien visitors in Esquo’s Fighters, and even rarer that they were allowed to use ...

Once we’d distanced ourselves from The Sailer, a few days after my speech, Secretary-General Kuemper called to offer a curious picture of the results. As I cleared the final stretch to Tarva’s home via train, I listened to t...

Skalga, World of Death.

Seeing that sign at the spaceport had felt strange, as I’d traveled to the Venlil homeworld in search of old friends. Syba was handling most of the calls with the Shield, in the aftermath of our v...

What bonus content would you like to see next?

I tried to include extra details in the poll itself, but in essence, the Krev exchange program would feature a Krev who had been strongly opposed to the Tellus humans being there, and now is trying to do an aboutface after learning they are cute, primate victims.

Wild West 2 would be about Old West Sheriff Blake and Nilrie, traveling buddy and smuggler, in the present day…heading off t...

Instead of getting into the meat of the engagement, Onso prattled on about boring minutiae; analyzing and comparing engine capabilities, along with his best guess at their design, and AI pathing algorithms. While I was certain that warship d...

Camera drones surveyed the system, admiring the devastation wrought across swaths of space. The FTL disruptors might’ve bought us precious months to prepare for a defense, but eventually, the enemy broke through—snuffing out enough FTL d...

The Resket military headquarters were in an expansive complex, complete with dozens of avian patrols marching along to look busy; thick metal walls encased the stone facility, making it look a bit like a castle from the outside. All it needed...

When I’d attempted to reach General Radai, I’d learned that the honorbound Resket had no intention to return to the camp on Tellus—as if he’d given up on the human experiment once and for all. He’d left Avor as well, after questioni...

The Duerten ambassador had walked away with a haughty air, until we were out of the Yulpa and Tevin’s eyesight. The manner in which he addressed me had caught me off-guard, to say the least; I’d felt as though Korajan was activ...

Happy Friday! (Future Content Updates)

Happy Friday to all of you. As a formal announcement, Krakotl child soldier won the poll, and I penned out two chapters of pure bottled sadness so far; I hope you’re as ready for this as I am. As we’ve seen this week, the Bissems are trying to outfox none other than General Jones, and the seeds of suspicion have already been planted among our Consortium cast—it’s a powder keg!
