Aurora adjusted the scanner to filter out background ambiance and the grav sled’s energy signature, smiling at the results. “There we go!” “You point, we drive.” Estella told her, waiting for a direction.  I kept my eye on plant creatures that blocked our paths while we went in a more or less straight line backContinue reading “Adventures Aboard the Chen Xing- Chapter 29”

“Whatever he’s doing it seems thought out.” Aurora told me with a shrug. I had no idea what she was talking about but I followed her gaze. A small part of Vines was doing something to a panel with some tools. H squared came wandering past. The rest of Vines was covering him down toContinue reading “Adventures aboard the Chen Xing- Chapter 28”

Estella whispered to me, “We need to slow him down, it’s still early, they’re probably still at his office.” I hurried to catch up with Scorsby. “Hey, we still haven’t talked about the jobs you wanted us to take off you.” “Let’s have one last drink while you tell us for the road, whatever yourContinue reading “Adventure Aboard the Chen Xing- Chapter 26”

He’s, uh, pretty upset.” “Guess one of us better let him know his punishment.” I said.  Estella nodded, “I’m kinda busy here flying, so one of you should do it?” Aurora nodded as well, looking over at me, “I’ll go with you and let you do the talking?Continue reading “Adventures Aboard the Chen Xing- Chapter 24”

Aurora took one of the tubes out of the case, holding it up to light to better see what’s inside it. “Yeah, I think it does.” I looked over at it. “Isn’t that the same colour as the blood sample?” Aurora nodded. “I believe so.” “Interesting, I wonder where they got it from?” Estella said. Continue reading “Adventures aboard the Chen Xing- Chapter 23”

We ended up tracking Guppy by the beacon on the buggy, which indicated a factory at the edge of town, with a forest and farmlands lying beyond. Estella assumed she’d been kidnapped.  “Let’s not waste any time then, we can follow the road until we’re close, and then circle around through the forest, get aContinue reading “Adventure Abroad the Chen Xing- Chapter 21”

I walked into a bar that I espied on the way. It was a little place tucked away in a corner. When I walked in, I realised it was one of these dingy places. Still, I’ve seen worse. I sat myself down on the bar stool. Before I could even order, a woman walked rightContinue reading “Adventure Abroad the Chen Xing- Chapter 20”
