    What's Junk? (The Mech Touch)

    Bolt had not expected a response back from the Friday Coalition after he submitted his mech design. He in fact expected a lot of time to pass. Bureaucratic stuff always took forever, even in military emergencies. Implementing a new mech took a month at a minimum, and that was assuming it was...

    "You want me to what?" Bolt asked incredulously. "The commission is to create a counter to the mech known as the Blessed Squire." The official said blandly. "As part of the ongoing war initiative contracts are available for specific goals. Your name is on the list of approved designers." "I...

    Headhunting was an old and outdated term that had lost it's original meaning long ago. In the older days you brought back the heads of those you killed to prove they were dead. Nowadays a simple video recording was usually enough. Headhunting was typically a term to recruit someone rather...

    Benjamin Larkinson was an old man. A grandfather, a leader, and a former expert pilot. He was a dead man walking as well. Dying slowly due to injuries from an old war. He'd seen many things, and his greatest regret was seeing his family splinter apart after the fiasco with his grandson Ves...

    Things might have been peaceful at Bolt's world, but they weren't peaceful elsewhere. One place in particular had a lot of changes happening. The Bright Republic was in a very tight spot, and it was only getting worse. This meant tensions and tempers were rising, and things were starting to...

    It's a pretty standard First Rate guardian. High quality, but you can purchase one without issue if you're First class.

    Mech design in the galaxy was a very complicated affair that balanced a massive number of factors. The MTA controlled a lot of it, though not by choice. They had been fairly hands off in the early days and the galaxy had paid for it. Without regulation people went non-standard and mechs...

    Gravity shifted and deepened. It swirled around the ship. It focused as the power generators ignited and fed into the devices around i. It flowed. Then something cracked. A shear appeared in space and time. The ship split in two in an instant that lasted a minute to outside observation...

    Gary sometimes wished he had his normal life back. The times when he'd just spent days designing in a little hut in the middle of a blizzard. Those were good times in retrospect. Sure he'd been in sub-zero temperature, but he'd never been in any real danger. His parents had been careful...

    As the Sand War wound down, it revealed a changed sector. Countless planets were graveyards now. More than a few Third Rate nations were either outright gone or teetering on the edge of breaking. The list of deaths could stretch around a planet. Some nations would take decades to recover...

    "Burn in righteous fire!" Ascension hadn't changed much for Mary. That was odd to say, but it was the truth. Her breast burned with fire, her mind was sharper, and she was a better pilot. The job was still the same. Burn the enemy and provide moral support. She did have a new church, and...

    The MTA had been hit hard on the PR front before. Nothing was perfect, and they were a large organization. Things happened. That didn't mean the organization as a whole liked it when it happened. Their immediate remedy was obvious. They were in the process of slaying the sandmen. The race...

    Gloria is basically a Hexxer Heiress to one of the larger founding families in the Hexxer nation. She's rich, powerful, and Ves actually ran away from her once he realized it. Unfortunately the powerful part isn't an exaggeration and she sank her claws into him really quickly. Amusingly...

    FTL was a complicated thing in the galaxy. Stolen from an alien race and adapted for human use, it still held many secrets and strange quirks that no one really understood. One of which was the fact that certain planets allowed for faster travel than others. Bolt's home was one of them...
