July 11th, 2552 – On the run Part-time mechanic/sometimes suspect Kat James Reporting It only took us three tries to find a landing site without fireflies exploding or otherwise, the second attempt was looking good until we found that something drew the fireflies to the remote – which meant for the third try we had […]

The feeds looked so pretty and everything looked perfect. Skip’s remote landed at twilight and there were fireflies everywhere and what looked like floating lanterns. It was one of the most beautiful scenes […]

The Ani are part of a Separatist movement that wants to break with the Parataph as a whole and the rest of their people on general […]

I think Druckab understood why we had to break contact and the fact that it wasn’t really safe for him to report […]
Read More 190-Valkyrie’s View: A Year Among the StarsJuly 7th, 2552 – No Going Home Part-time mechanic/sometimes suspect Kat James Reporting The problem with jumping, with creating the well and stepping into it – is the fact that it leaves ripples. Ripples that can be followed. It’s why we took to jumping short distances and doubling back. I realized I could shift home […]

Fipps and the rest of the […]

Three attacks – one by a group claiming to be the true representatives of the Parataph, one surgical strike by the Ani, and one attack by […]
Read More 187-Valkyrie’s View: A Year Among the StarsJuly 4th, 2552 – Never study physics from a philosophy professor Part-time mechanic/sometimes suspect Kat James Reporting Today Druckab vanished for half the day- but when he returned, he was a lot more forthcoming. I’m guessing that he spent the morning reporting in to the Parataph command and they’d given him the go-ahead. It seems […]

The irony here is the fact that his future self tried to kill me, but that hasn’t happened yet, and […]
Read More 185-Valkyrie’s View: A Year Among the StarsJuly 2nd, 2552 – What have we gotten ourselves into? Part-time mechanic/sometimes suspect Kat James Reporting One of the nice things about having Druckab on our side is the fact that we now know a lot more about the Parataph, the Ani, and how we fit in in this stretch of Space.
