I had a rather surreal experience today. As I was pinning down the exact story-flow of Don't Label me! Book-6, I had the News playing in the background - Reporting on the Events in Eastern Europe.&...
2022-02-27 18:52:27 +0000 UTC View PostThe last two years had been an interesting time, in many ways. On one hand, my environment was reasonably peaceful, a large part of my time spent in quiet commune with Galatea, as the two of us wer...
2022-02-25 21:59:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe looks on the faces around me were simply priceless. Disbelief and fear warring with awe, making the smile on my face just a little wider, the effect having surpassed even what I had hoped to ac...
2022-02-25 17:00:09 +0000 UTC View Post“Rai, Gilo, the two of you are dealing with flankers. Gilo, I’ll support you against incorporeal creatures, Rai, you’ll have to deal with them on your own. Take a flank each.” I ordered, ta...
2022-02-23 17:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a curious experience, not simply controlling a number of robots, but performing as Metis. I had done so before, but only while Mother was incapacitated or mentally engaged, using the control...
2022-02-22 18:04:45 +0000 UTC View PostMy opening gambit settled things, though not quite in the way I had intended to. While there was quite a bit of shock and awe going around those in the group who weren’t used to me, it mostly man...
2022-02-21 17:01:03 +0000 UTC View Post“Those plans look quite interesting, but are you certain that they are feasible?” Nisha asked me, after looking at the project Metis had proposed.
“It is. There is a company called Tita...

2022-02-18 17:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostTwo days had passed since the attack on Accord Island. There were so many questions I had regarding it, so many answers I needed to find. What I knew for certain was that Accord Island was gone and...
2022-02-17 19:39:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning, we all assembled at the Guild. Jakyl still looked a little grumpy, but the smiles on Gilo’s and Mal’s faces seemed to be genuine. Mal took the initiative to approach me, even ...
2022-02-16 17:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostFor a moment, stillness ruled on the plaza, every scourge turning towards the chariot and its inhumane rider. The stillness only lasted a moment and despite the camera’s not having microphones, I...
2022-02-15 21:09:03 +0000 UTC View Post“What in the…?!” An intense voice ripped me from my focus, making me realise that I had zoned out. Sadly, the surprise meant that my hands shook for a moment, spilling the liquid I had been p...
2022-02-14 16:58:53 +0000 UTC View PostWaking up was a curious sensation, especially when I began to access the part of me that was connected to Galatea. It also allowed me to answer the first question, namely my current location and th...
2022-02-11 23:21:42 +0000 UTC View PostSadly, my hoped for discussion on Alchemy with Mal didn’t happen, at least not during the evening. By the time the introduction of her team was done, it was time for her to head off and for us, t...
2022-02-11 17:00:10 +0000 UTC View Post“So, Mal, is it? Good Evening and nice to meet you.” I returned her incredibly enthusiastic greeting, an amused smile on my face.

2022-02-09 17:01:06 +0000 UTC View PostLooking back down into the valley, after we had climbed the rough and rocky northern walls, the movement was obvious. Compared to earlier, when we had entered from the south-eastern slope, the cont...
2022-02-07 17:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostFrom afar, the valley we were told the lichen was growing in was peaceful. Nothing seemed to be out of place, just rocky slopes, some sparse trees, some evergreens and leaves scattered on the groun...
2022-02-04 17:01:04 +0000 UTC View PostGetting back to New Brunsburg was both simple and difficult at the same time. If not for the need to remain undetected, Sophia and I could simply have taken the plane, flying in and landing openly ...
2022-02-03 21:45:32 +0000 UTC View PostSweaty, tired and thoroughly cold, I stumbled back into my apartment, a small part of me cursing out Mrs. Wu as I went. That smiling face of hers, as she ordered me to perform one set of exercises ...
2022-02-02 17:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostWhen we returned to the Guild in the morning, it turned out that we’d have to wait a few days to meet the rest of our prospective group. Originally, the mission had been planned to start within a...

2022-01-30 18:33:54 +0000 UTC View Post“Elaborate, please.” Adra asked, just as interested in the follow-up as I was. There had to be a reason for him to ask us and not the locals, meaning that it most likely was dangerous, and thus...
2022-01-28 17:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe terrain was slowly shifting, from the rough and largely desolate slopes of the Dorrian Mountains to gentle, rolling hills, covered in a couple of forests and large, almost steppe-like meadows. ...
2022-01-26 17:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostAs the joke went, we were not fleeing, we were rapidly advancing towards the rear. Or maybe we were running away, no shame in running away from an unknown threat, it was the way to preserve the liv...
2022-01-24 17:01:04 +0000 UTC View PostFrom a single realisation, a multitude of ideas came forth, all of them in need of testing and verification, to further our understanding of the world. Sophia spent an hour or two each day trying t...
2022-01-23 22:29:23 +0000 UTC View PostWith Rai hiding, the attacking skeletons crashed into Sigmir, who was happily holding the line. Looking from behind, I almost had to laugh when Sigmir started to swing, timing her strikes in such a...
2022-01-21 17:00:09 +0000 UTC View Post“I am just trying to digest what Galatea presented.” I admitted, shaking my head. Letting out a slow breath, I decided that Sophia needed to know and she hopefully would be able to harness that...
2022-01-19 19:28:03 +0000 UTC View PostWith Rai having broken the second Divide, there naturally had to be testing. It was one thing to test his abilities outside of combat but a whole different question to use them in actual combat, ev...
