3189352855Slayer Baron Apothecary SatchelA note is attached: A gift for the Slayer Baron, in thanks for the burden you carry on behalf of all Eliksni. May it grant you many-armed protection as you face Fikrul. There are two great challenges we face: one kinetic, against the Revenant Scorn;…
1527171891Chapter 1Faint guitar music drifted through the streets of the Last City, barely audible over the buzz of citizens in the market. Glint's iris flicked between passing patrons and the pleasing festival decorations. His self-assigned patrol was barely a distraction f…

1527171889Chapter 2Glint saw the teens running into an abandoned building and floated in behind them. The rays from the setting sun trickled through the windows, allowing Glint to find his way without providing his own light. Keeping to the shadows, he bobbed his way through…
1527171894Ghost Den – 2—CONTINUATION OF SESSION 1 RECORDING— [CIRCLE NOTE: A Ghost with a light blue shell, Kugu, beeps and floats toward the center of the circle made by the other Ghosts.] Micah: Ah, Kugu! Go right ahead. Kugu: The Witness is a spineless, weak jerk that made…
1527171895Chapter 3There were some unusual objects in the room. Glint scanned them when he was sure no one was looking: colorful fabrics draped over various things, a hundred or so melting candles, counterfeit Gambit coins, swords that were supposed to be Hive in origin, can…
1527171892Ghost Den – 3—CONTINUATION OF SESSION 1 RECORDING— Eva: Would anyone else like to go? [CIRCLE NOTE: The Ghosts idle in place, irises nervously looking around.] Micah: Anyone…? Ophiuchus? [CIRCLE NOTE: Ophiuchus does not say anything. He stares back at Micah and slo…
1527171893Chapter 4A debate had started between the teens. While they were distracted, Glint could easily float unnoticed from one hiding spot to the next. They were arguing whether to use melted candy on their hands to bond them even further before the ritual, which resulte…
1527171898Ghost Den – 4—CONTINUATION OF SESSION 1 RECORDING— [CIRCLE NOTE: A Ghost with an orange shell, Bee, floats forward. Another, Batt, dons a red shell. She hovers close to her.] Bee: I can go. Ahem. Batt: It's okay, you got this. [CIRCLE NOTE: Batt gives Bee a comfort…
1527171899Chapter 5The teens stood in a circle. At the center was a pumpkin, positioned in the middle of an intricate symbol, painted with unsure brushstrokes, smudged to fix mistakes. "Stop fidgeting, Nirysk," the young Eliksni girl muttered, tightening her grip on the oth…
1543949477Ghost Den – 5—CONTINUATION OF SESSION 1 RECORDING— [CIRCLE NOTE: The focus has now shifted to Ghost. The rest of the participants, quiet and waiting, turn their attention toward him.] Ghost: I don't know what to say… I-I'm glad I could help. I just… [CIRCLE NOTE: He…
1543949476Chapter 6Panic surged through Glint. No. No, no, no. According to all the research he and Eido had done on the Headless Ones over the years, this shouldn't have been possible. It shouldn't have been allowed to happen. Nothing in this room was real, or at least sho…
1543949479Ghost Den – 6—CONTINUATION OF SESSION 1 RECORDING— Glint: The war with the Witness was never going to end without losses. I don't think any of us wanted that, but we all knew that if it meant saving lives, we'd pay whatever price was asked. Glint: But I've never felt…
1543949478Chapter 7"The hell is a Ghost doing here?!" Cash asked. Everyone had risen, hissing painfully, to their feet. They looked around as they brushed themselves off and checked for injuries. "Wait," Melii said. Glint floated closer to them, and the Eliksni's eyes widen…
1543949473Ghost Den – 7—CONTINUATION OF SESSION 1 RECORDING— Ophiuchus: Targe was a pain, just like Zavala, sometimes… but he was a good Ghost. [CIRCLE NOTE: A soft gust of wind passes through the circle. It sounds closer to a roar in the silence.] Ophiuchus: You get used to…
1543949472Chapter 8"You were trying to… what?" Glint asked, taken aback. "Well…" Melii started, then paused. She looked hesitantly at her peers. "We were talking about how many people fell during the war, and, uh, we just wanted to try to speak to them." Glint noted the ca…
1543949475Ghost Den – 8—CONTINUATION OF SESSION 1 RECORDING— Glint: You don't have to answer that… Ghost: No, it's fine. I'm fine. [CIRCLE NOTE: Ghost's shell flexes and shakes a little. Micah and Eva watch him carefully.] Ghost: Final Deaths are always a possibility. We all…
1543949474Chapter 9"I put this book together with all the things we found during our research," Rhea said. She gently placed the book on its stand at the altar. "My mentor…" Her voice faltered. "She always said to keep your notes in one place, so they're easier to find… She…
1543949485Ghost Den – 9—CONTINUATION OF SESSION 1 RECORDING— Micah: I'm proud of you for expressing how you're feeling about this, Ghost. I know it can't be easy. Micah: Targe's death was a tragedy. And so was yours. Micah: No one could possibly have known you'd get a second…
1543949484Chapter 10"You shouldn't think like that," Glint said, his tone soft and full of empathy. "I know that's easier said than done but trust me when I say, I understand. Someone I knew died, and I thought… 'Why not me?' It's so easy, isn't it? To blame ourselves and thi…
1493616620Ghost Den – 10—CONTINUATION OF SESSION 1 RECORDING— [CIRCLE NOTE: The other Ghosts have dispersed. Eva and Micah linger behind to watch Glint, Ghost, and Ophiuchus, who float by the edge of the Tower, looking out at the Last City.] Glint: Are you okay, Ghost? Ghost:…
1493616621Chapter 11"We're sorry," the teens mumbled together, their voices sad. "Are we in trouble with the Vanguard?" Rhea asked. Glint shook his shell from side to side. "No, you're not, but I'm going to clear this place out and make sure nothing is amiss. Get on home,…
1493616622Epilogue"Everything has been moved to a vault designated by Ikora, for future inspection," Glint reported. "She thinks one of those Hive swords might have been real, so she's sending someone to investigate the market where the kids got everything." "Why didn't yo…
3009199534Tomorrow's AnswerYara slammed a rocket into her launcher. "These crates really skimp on quantity." "Sadhij is down." Trestin turned to Yara. "This one's alone." The words had barely escaped her when a Warlock brimming with Void Light Nova Warped past them. Yara turned an…
4176873718Fair JudgmentEido extinguished the flame on her ambient air gas burner. As the beaker above it cooled, the solution inside resolved into two distinct fluids, layered one atop another. Even at high heat, they remained immiscible. She clicked her mandibles in irritation.…
2599338625Bitter/SweetTristak howls as he tears the head off the offending Vandal. The other prisoners retreat to the corners. Still-twitching mandibles drip warm fluid down his armor. "None of you are worthy of the House Salvation banner!" Even the other warriors flinch. The…

2823644677ExuviaeEkaask watched Eido bustle across the street toward Spider's bar. The young Scribe glanced over her shoulder furtively, clutching a mysterious object—a scroll of some kind—to her thorax. The Kell's daughter was so poor at subterfuge. Ekaask found it ende…
3830941962Vantage PointCrow sat with his head in his hands, elbows resting against his knees. "I don't know. Sometimes, I feel like things were easier with the Witness." Across the go board, Saladin choked on his drink, nearly spitting it over the table. Crow rolled his eyes. "…
4224667951Heretic's FervorEido took a modest sip from the Ether rebreather, then passed it back to Variks. Though she was savoring the silent hiatus from her research, something from a previous conversation with Eramis weighed on her mind. "Is machine-made Ether really so diff…
3423493037Red TapeCrow adjusts his mask as he slinks along the City street. A crowd gathers around a man robed in red and gold, whose agents are distributing food. Crow's own stomach growls. A woman is torn from the line. "You have been warned before. No food for scavengers…
2913577176Scavenger's FateArrha threw the datapad to the ground in fury. It bounced once, then settled against a crate of contraband Psion weaponry. The screen continued to flash implacably: CONNECTION LOST… REESTABLISHING CONNECTION… FAILED… CONNECTION LOST… There was nothing…
414045521InsurmountableLife on the outskirts of the Tangled Shore was as desolate as ever, yet the few remaining Eliksni there heard the reports and knew: it was time to leave. "How much farther to the Ketch?" a Dreg gasped, a mountain of the crew's effects lashed to his back a…
3818198556SovereigntyThe first snap of rifle fire echoes wildly off the pockmarked walls of the crater. The Scorn cast around mindlessly after the source. It's the work of seconds to finish them off, one after the other. Clean work, overall. Jolyon Till sits up in the narro…
825495813Noxious VetiverThe weaver held his handcrafted basket close to his chest, mandibles clicking in disappointment as he surveyed the disarray of modern flasks and burettes scattered among the more traditional tools of an apothecary. "Have you gotten lost on your way to mar…

1111334348Ice BreakerThe foundry is silent now. Shell casings litter the floor. They clatter away from the bootfalls of the Warlock Shayura as she weaves between the downed chassis of combat frames branded with the sigil of the Häkke foundry. "Security is disabled," Shayura s…
3464581845Shadestalker GripsHis knee had grown stiff under his desk. Zavala initially ignored it. Let the pain burn in the side of his knee, seize the top of his calves. His leg had grown stiff countless times before. But this time, this early in the morning, this soon after sittin…

322173891Mask of FealtyGhar's ex-Legion. Ex-Cabal, really, if you're getting technical about it. But he still recognizes the tension that permeates the cargo hold: a mix of restlessness and nerves, like that of soldiers on their first real patrol. His new Lightbearer friends…

1188437342Blastwave StridersWith skies this clear, the Hawk practically flies itself, gliding smoothly across the firmament. Keris feels the comfortable silence take a turn toward the soporific, and pours herself some coffee. "Hey," she says, "How much longer?" Hayes doesn't even h…

4123860739Nightlight"You ever seen a Screeb?" the Hunter asked and tilted his head toward the Eliksni before him. They perched on a stack of crates, spending their break well above the hustle and bustle of the Variisis Core. "I've heard of them through Scribe Eido's retellin…
3186756437Restless DreamsThe rigidity in his limbs was unnatural. His breathing was short, quickened, as his eyes searched the dark room. Any attempt to crane his neck was impossible—the paralysis had sunk deep into his bones. He sensed a presence. It was a subtle thing, barely…
20991506Spectroscopic ShellGlint flitted through the Variisis Core of the Last City until he spotted the hoses and tubing of Eido's brewing station snaking through the rafters. The tank churned and hummed, surrounded by botanical pallets carefully labeled but strewn haplessly about.…
