The night had been a long one for many, the acting ExO / ILO not having been an exception to this. Luckily the members of the undercover team from the USS ANUBIS had been given back their privacy, the subdermal communication link they all shared having been suspended for the night. In some way Shar'El had been pleased to not have to listen in on everyone else's c...

Sleep had never been something a Hirogen needed in large quantity. That had likely been the only thing that played in Uxtar’s favor in the eyes of his supervisors. Long before the Alpha Shift had been schedule to start their early morning duties, the hunter had already been up and ready to make the best of the few free hours ahead of him. As much ...

Most guys would have been thrilled to have two lovely ladies in their room at the same time. Then again, most guys were not under the influence of some space siren that had turned their mind into mush.
With each passing hour, the fog in his mind lifted a little more, but still the OPS officer had to focus to remember who the ladies next to him were. They were his shipma...

After all that had happened, Sonja had thought it best for them to return to the safety of their room. To avoid even more problems, the CEO had suggested that the two of them spend the night in her room, just in case something came up.
Still troubled by her run-in with her older sister, Ya'Han had not been in a state to...

The Shillian Scientist had listened in on the development of the situation that took place in the Main Dining Room of the MASQUERADE DREAMS which had concluded with the Operations Officer and the Chief Medical Officer heading out together. As much as she might have wanted to, there had been little the Chief Science Officer could have done to help them at that time.

Over the last two hours, while Uxtar went on with his duties as a member of the maintenance staff, the Hirogen kept thinking back to what the ANUBIS' First Officer had done. Without hesitation she had stepped up and taken the heat that had been aimed in the hunter’s direction. Now he knew that this had been done for the sake of the mission, but still the action taken by...

Shar'El could see that the officer had been angry at something, and the acting ExO / ILO had not needed to look too far to figure out what that thing had been. From the point of view of the undercover team, Uxtar had intervened just in time to stop Jayson from doing something that the Operations officer would surely have come to regret at some la...

He could only remember the things she had asked him to tell her about, everything else not having mattered to him in the least. He could not even remem...

Uxtar watched with interest as Drask Pharren walked away escorted by his two imposing bodyguards. A lot could be learnt from observing the way a prey moved. The Pythron merchant had a very confident step, one that indicated that the man knew what he wanted, but the way his bodyguards followed ever so closely showed the hunter that the man...
