Akraya would be sorry to see Crimson go, but she could see his point. Nevertheless, she hadn't got onto the primary crew by being a wimp. "As I've already said, I'm with you, Captain. You'll have Dad's full support, too; he's not a pushover - you know how long it took to convince him to let me ...

Desuko listened to Daxia's explanation, her eyes growing wider by the second. "If they're such a huge group, I'm impressed you've managed to elude them for so long, Captain. We've managed to defeat a few of their lackeys, but if they're this determined to track you down, they won't stop there.&...

Pedras blinked, considering Sophie's story. He knew full well that many mercenaries had something to hide, and wasn't surprised that the captain was among them. That it was something so personal, so vital to her sense of identity, he hadn't expected. "Captain, what matters is not who your famil...

Pedras nipped to his quarters quickly before joining the primary crew in the mess hall. He was as anxious to know what was going on as everyone else, but he had a task to take care of first; as he'd told the two Ariesse, he wanted to send a brief warning to his sister. Using a series of code-words i...

Desuko was surprised and pleased by Daxia's knowledge of how to calm a nervous Ariesse. Eating a bite of her meal, she responded to her comment, "Akraya and I had just been doing a display in the park. Gymnastics are fun, but they take it out of you. Going straight from that to a fight... I'm n...

Akraya's stomach growled slightly when Sylen mentioned food - it had been quite some time since she'd eaten, and since then she'd been performing aerobatics and getting into a fight. A glance at Desuko told her that her sister was also starting to get a little hungry. Desuko stuck close to Akraya as...

Desuko blinked at Sylen's offer. "I... didn't even consider that," she admitted. "Do you really think any of them will have escaped? I thought the police caught them all..." A few months ago, Akraya would have reacted the same way, but after even such a short time with Black Stee...

Yep. We're just getting started as a full company so it will be interesting.

Glad Rufie's safe.

Something a little different today. Got a meeting of the MaMoMi Initiative advisory committee so am taking two trains and a tram across town to get there. Took the whole day as flexi leave so will be able to do some stuff when I get home later.

"Desuko's never been in a fight, at least not a real one," Akraya murmured as her sister hugged Daxia out of sheer relief. "Schoolyard scraps, yes, but not this. For that matter, I didn't expect to destroy someone's shoulders today, either. These weren't just regular thugs, were they?...

Desuko had the good sense to stay quiet as the police arrived, though her mind was filled with questions - who were these people, and why were they attacking Black Steel? She and Akraya landed, Akraya having sheathed her blades, and waited for the officers to question them. Of the entire Black Steel...

The size of horses? Well... they'd need pretty decent wingspans, but it's possible.

Akraya's keen eyesight saw the blast that took out the captain, and tracked it back to a thug hiding behind a stone wall for cover. She made straight for him, dropping her talons at the last possible second, impaling him in both shoulders, just as Kellen's blast hit him. Even if he was still conscio...

No... don't think I originated any of those ideas...

Akraya was alarmed to hear the sound of blaster fire in the distance, and from the look on Desuko's face, so was her sister. Right now, with a giggling and whooping toddler in her harness, she couldn't do much about it - though she did gain height briefly to guage range, covering with a swoop which ...

It may be that's the only one on Photobucket. The rest seem to be standard Board smileys.

The images are smileys and they're on a Photobucket server. They're visible for me at home, but they're blocked at work.

I may or may not make it tonight. I definitely won't make it next week, as my brother's coming home.

Today was quiet. I'm now 26 chapters into Hyperlight 3.

Akraya had enjoyed the last few days of shore leave, particularly since she'd been able to explore the stores with several of the crew. Right now, she was with Pedras in one of the many parks. Or, more correctly, Pedras was in the park. She was soaring above it, dancing around and enjoying herself. ...

"Thank the Winds," Akraya breathed as Sylaise slowly regained consciousness. "You had us worried there. How do you feel?" Stiyl had noticed Sylaise's return to consciousness and moved quickly to her side, in case he was needed; together, he and Akraya eased her into a sitting pos...

As soon as the shift ended, Akraya headed straight to the mess hall. She was hungry, but that wasn't why she paid the room a visit. Approaching Djo, she quietly asked him for a special recipe, something that she'd tried a few times in the past few weeks, and he quickly whipped up two dishes as she'd...

I'll be missing Saturday, almost certainly.

Happy birthday!
