31 Hawle stepped off the shuttle, behind Cataya, Brunton, Havakar and Una. Like the rest of them, he’d added a belt to his outfit for security purposes. An anti-gravity belt that was helping them adjust to the lower gravity of the city in the clouds. He couldn’t see them but he could hear the thrumm...

30 Hawle moved behind his desk to show it off, although he didn’t think it had much interest to the current guest, taking a tour of the ship as they approached the Schimak Homeworld. He’d decided that he was going to call the race by their official name when he was face to face with them at least. H...

29 Hawle walked the decks, helping out where he could, lifting and patching and holding hands to give strength to those who might lose theirs shortly. Raven was in charge of getting the few pieces of the Dart that remained ready for analysis, Stikka was checking the computer files manually, Sarah ha...

Hey, Dogey. I don't recall you singing in November like NHW does. Do you have a good voice?

28 There was no sound of launching from here. Hawle always thought there should be some sort of ‘Shff’ or ‘thump’ whenever they launched but he wasn’t thinking on that now. He just wanted this over with. That thing destroyed or disabled. He wanted it gone as he wasn’t quite thinking straight now. Th...

27 Sarafina picked herself up off the sofa she’d just been thrown into, face first as the shipquake subsided, the impact or blast fading into the near past. She felt a bit groggy and her ears were ringing as she put a hand to her head and felt something a bit wet on her hand. She winced and tried to...

26 The dart came in, trying to bring a wedge between the two ships and leaving it unclear which as the bigger threat as Maze’s fighter wing launched. Hawle had ordered the Raitchian to stay back and attack only if a weakness was detected or to try and pull the enemy off the targeted ship. Maze wasn’...

25 Tha Avian Captain – or whatever the rank was – appeared on Hawle’s screen as the moments ticked down to potential conflict. <“I see you’re ready for battle,”> he stated, flexing his thin, talon-tipped, fingers as his eyes tried to bore into Hawles soul like an Earth Hawk after a similarly planett...

24 Hawle swept back to the command chair as, showing off his muscles, Edelmar Polva carried his wife onto the bridge and put Sarah down in the pilot’s seat. Good to see his comment about getting her there as fast as possible had been taken seriously, Hawle thought. “Nice to see you, Edelmar,” he sai...

23 Hawle sat back in his command chair as the evening dragged on, having exhausted the attentions of Presidents and Professors. He had his feet on Sarina’s chair as she was on dinner. He had a ball in hand that he proceeded to toss into the air and catch several times as they followed their hosts to...

22 Stikka watched from the engineering bridge station as the ship followed the Avarra ship away from her goal, towards an exercise in bureaucracy as Havakar occupied his seat and Caltaya paced the scene, lamenting the new delay in testing his toy when he’d been so close to success. An Engineer and a...

First Contact... 21 Changed from his environment suit, Hawle adjusted his epaulettes and made sure they were hanging correctly on his shoulders before positioning his bandolier, realising he hadn’t buttoned up his jacket and working out how to do it without removing the bandolier again. He stepped o...

20 <“It’s all right,”> Kendall called, <“It’s all right!”> Hawle, who’d given passing thoughts to having a heart attack and breaking speed records to get down to the engine room, held up a hand to pause the others in their flight or fight reactions. “It thumping well is NOT all right, Kendall! What ...

19 Kendall couldn’t advise using the Loper’s traction beam on the Fawren ship as, appearances not withstanding, the hull was incredibly weak here and now. The weakness of age had come into play and the mould was in the venting. She reckoned she should be able to clear the engines of the mould with s...

18 Nothing worked in here, Hawle realised, as they continued their route around the Mican ship. This was what was optimistically called the sickbay, he figured. Something to do with the observation beds and antique tools on trays besides them. There had been no air in here so they’d felt the whoosh ...

Cataclysm.

17 The signal faded away as the team in department armours arrived in the cold, darkened, room. A single light flickered on the wall, casting shadows of the six whose movement broke the silence. Hawle opened up his helmet light, twin glows from the cheeks lancing out in a gentle beam that showed the...

And they're here. At the test zone. Of course it can't be this simple... 16 A brown, craggy, lump of rock some three hundred thousand kilometres wide lay in front of the Loper on the screen at five times magnification from almost a million miles away. Hawle was expecting obstacles. Interference. Som...

Sometimes Aldair likes to shirk his responsibilities... 15 Hawle stood on the bridge, facing the star spotted visage of space they were about to enter with some sort of trepidation. President Havakar, Professor Caltaya and David Brunton were with him as Hawle thought of a way to deal with the speech...

Welsh Halfwit

14 Brunton watched the door as Caltraya examined the system for abuses following the intruders actions, looking to see if the program had been affected in any way. “I was told this couldn’t happen,” he complained. “I was told Council ships were secure…” “Nothing’s ever totally secure, Professor,” Da...

12 Jaqui knew there was probably one or two targets right this moment. Apparently the Presidents daughter was with Katara and secure so that left the Professor and his toy. Brunton had the Professor in hand so that left the toy and the launcher so she was headed in there now, beginning to speed up a...

11 Cedar walked in on the stores as the ship idled at Dawnicca and he asked the porter where the Gavalak meat was before heading over to check it. It was one of the products the colony had found running around when they’d gotten there and had become a staple until the crops and invasive meat nonsent...

Welsh Halfwit

10 The Loper stretched out the time between Micanna and Dawnicca, the outermost colony in Council space. It wasn’t exactly a place that was stopped by often and had a bit of a reputation so ‘flying the flag’ was a useful thing, even on a Canine world. Commander Hawle didn’t see the logic of having a...

9 Sarina Raven checked over the ‘supplies’ they were taking on board on Micanna, the main shuttle idling by some fifty feet away to her left as she made sure the stasis lock was still in place and hadn’t been tampered with. The Professor had assured her that everything was correct and sorted and he ...

8 Aldair stepped onto the bridge on his small scale tour of the ship with President Havakar and her daughter. This wasn’t quite the final stop as they’d taken the entourage before they’d managed to have food on the liner so the last place to visit was Kirkwall’s kitchen. The Mican chef was currently...

7 “Good evening, old friend,” Hawle said, talking to the Osiran in his meeting room as the lizardman took a sip of the water, his throat bulging and the scales separating and coming back together as he swallowed. “How’s things?” The older Lieutenant Commander put the glass down and replied that thin...

6 Half an hour later, Hawle stepped down from the main teleport booth on the liner and held out a hand for Colleen, who took it before she stepped down. “I’m quite capable of stepping down by myself, Aldair,” the diplomat graced as she released the hand. The security officer stepped down as they wai...

5 Katara finished the work in her allotted console and gave it a final, quick, blast with her miniature extinguisher can to make sure it didn’t spark up again before she closed up. Behind her, Raston finished working on the cabling, which trailed along the floor and dangled on the wall as they were ...
