We Will Call Her Hope Command Deck, Exploration Cruiser Bridger, Deep Space, Star System ED-163Mission Day 2130230 ST (Ship Time)A billion kilometers from a star, spacetime trembled with a flash of blue Cherenkov radiation and gravity waves radiating outward. A boxy apparition materialized—the exploration cruiser Bridger.On the command deck, Captain Elias Rodriquez tried to regain control of his reeling senses caused by shear-jump emergence—nausea and a distinct feeling that his body didn’t belong in this universe. Using techniques taught ...

Who Will Remember the Incolae? “The best way to heal a world is not to break it in the first place.”—Captain Arthur Landsman, exploration cruiser Daniel Boone Horsehead Bay, Planet Honor, Honor Prime Star SystemMission Day 70846 HT (Honor Time) Mika opened her eyes to light shifting through the canopy—paler, more amber than the sunlight she remembered. Her vision settled on a leaf above her. Broad. Olive-toned. Wrong in a way that made it right. For a moment she didn’t move. Then memory returned. Honor. Different sun. Horseshoe Bay. The arch...

First Descent The black cutter ghosted in from the west on swept-back wings, twin fins carving the air as it chased the fiery first edge of dawn across rolling grasslands. Behind, the alien sun was beginning to make its presence known—smaller and dimmer than Sol, but in this sky about the same size as the sun in Earth’s sky. Marine Sergeant Jordan “Jordy” Bingham was in his element. He glanced at the sensor—plentty of life. Perfect for the mission’s goal of gathering samples to help determine whether this planet could be a second Earth. “T...

Ranger—flagship to the Chief of Space Operations of the Earth Space Operations Command—here on a mission with the Earth Planetary Union Deputy Prime Minister to pass judgment on a world’s future. Arthur hesitated before entering. He was a cruiser captain, not a diplomat. Unfortunately, he and his ship were the focus of the visit. What was said in the next day or two might very well seal the fate of that world. His included.Diplom...

Christmas Eve at Luiz’s Old-Fashioned CafébyJoseph Morris Old Town, New Arantes City, Jandira, Kuat Star System 24 December 423 SF Since Jandira's FoundingjOld-Earth Christmas background music combined with the comforting fragrances of garlic and oregano to greet customers entering Luiz’s Old-Fashioned Café. A holo of a red sleigh pulled by nine reindeer hovered over the dance floor. Every few minutes, the sleigh’s sole passenger changed from the North American Santa, in his traditional heavyweight red suit, to the New Brazili...
Weekly Contest #196
A Matter of Space-Time Metrics By Joseph Morris Portown, New Arantes City, Jandira 20 May 423 SJF (Since Jandira’s Founding) There’s a bit of irony that one of the most significant events in human history was witnessed only by a cat in an alley in the seedy part of a city on a backwater planet. Not the most auspicious place for the arrival of an almost godlike advanced species intent on First Contact with the Human Species. In the long run, the absurdity of the Passimian’s arrival being witnessed only by a feline did nothing to minimize the...
Weekly Contest #119
Something Woke Her By Joseph Morris Something woke her. Her eyes opened to a shaft of alabaster cloud-broken moonlight peeking through a slightly parted blackout curtain and the almost melodic-sound of waves breaking against the shore in the cove. The storm? But there’s moonlight and an almost peaceful surf. The storm must have ended. And Rex wasn’t prowling around. If something sinister had wakened her, he’d up and patrolling. Wait, Rex was spending the night at the vet. She didn’t have the benefit of his extended senses to prote...
