This time around, I thought I'd show you an interior splash page from my upcoming PANDORA'S BLOGS series from Red Giant Entertainment -- finally scheduled for a 2017 release.
This page is from issue #3 -- when Pandora's break-in to the medical center (looking for certain paperwork) is discovered -- by a weapon-wielding werewolf! (Yup.)
Art by me, color from Katrina MaeHao. Hope you like it!
Hugs,

I have tracked her here, but, she is crafty and she has magic to hide her presence from me. No matter, she will not evade my newest addition, assuming he takes this job. There's a lot of bad blood between us, especially after I tried to get my daughter to seduce him...heh, it was fun to watch though. He's such a sap. Always the victim, but never crying foul. As if being that way will balance out things in his favor somehow. The fates have been cruel to that one, constantly stealing what little happiness he can scrape together. You'd think he'd be easy pickings for me, I can offer him everything but for some reason he wants to earn it..It's nopt like he'd be my lave but then again maybe that's not how he sees it. Oh well, I better find out what he needs most so I can have some leverage...hmm.
I can't believe I was so stupid, how could I have ignored the signs, the spells went off just as they should and every warning was there, one lone woman comes in and steals my greatest trophy. Not just any trophy but the head of my greatest foe...Should she somehow figure out how to remove it from it's infinitium casing I and mine will have our hands full. Parata was no laughing matter when he was alive and his return will be no laughing matter should he return. Obsidian and the others defeated him before through deception, despite how much more powerful he was than them. They are the unknown element...still. I'm hoping maybe Obsidian can recover Parata's head and save everyone from a clash of cosmic proportions.
It never fails to amaze me how every great once in a while there comes a mortal who can dupe even the most powerful and wise if divine beings, and while Obsidian may be immortal, Maybe his lack of divine status, and lack of arrogance will give him the edge he needs to find this girl and save everyone I find it funny and just a bit ironic that it is what he lacks that will aid him most. I'll have to reward him well if he pulls this off. |

We make it back yo Kryllia Prime without incident, and I arrange to meet High Crona Hirzhak to collect our payment. I get to tell him his son is alive and well and the families of the fallen get some much needed closure. Hirzhak invites me to meet privately and considering he and I just made his goverment look bad for not even attempting what I just pulled off, I'd say it's a good idea to conclude this transaction out of eyesight.
"Obsidian," Hirzhak says with tears welling up in his eyes. "You have returned my son to me and I do not know how to repay you for that. 20 million credits doesn't seem like hardly enough to me. You and your courageous crew risked your lives bring back my only son. If you are ever need anything just ask and if I can make it happen I will."
"I was happy to do it, nobody ever wants to be given up on. I am glad I could reunite you with your son"
"Many others were not as fortunate, and we will have to make sure that those families are compensated and their loved ones recognized properly."
"Good luck to you sir. I hope never have to meet again under these circumstances. If you should ever require my services again you know how to reach me."
With that I transport up to the Sable and we head out for some much needed repairs. It looks like it's gonna be a quick trip to Space Station Nimbus and this time I hope I can get my hands on more Absorbium. I love being able to help others and getting paid for it is a real plus. However, I know that somewhere out there the self proclaimed "Multiverse's greatest assassin" has his eyes set on me, and it hangs over me like the sword of Damocles. |

I have teleported to the planet's surface. The divine being known as Gredienar is expecting me to kneel, bow, and scrape, to save my life and that of my crew but that's not why I'm here. No I am here as a matter of defiance, I have pushed around by the Black Mantis, and enough so called GODS to last me my immortal life, and I have had enough of this place and I want to go home!!! I summon my sword to my hand keeping the blade retracted, if this guy is an elder god he'll know what he's in for and he won't show his face. This demonstrates he is clearly not an Elder god and and appears in giant form (a favorite of gods ruling through intimidation) he stands roughly ten meters tall and looks really menacing. There are many tribes in attendance here to watch me grovel but boy are they in for a surprise. In a booming voice they "God of the people" addresses the crowd.
"Many of you know this man, and thought him a demon or a god. I have brought him low and proved him false before you. I have made him tremble for his life and instilled fear in him and his people. His lies are laid bare for all to see and none will challenge my right to rule as your GOD!!!"
The crowd is in awe and fear as they look upon me, many of them are jeering and booing me while still other look dejected at the thought of my being a false god.
"Now he will confess before you of his falseness. Speak to them false one and tell them the truth of your deception."
I take a deep breath and cast a spell increasing the volume of my voice so people on the other side of the world might hear me, okay maybe not that loud but easily enough to match this god.
"Good people, you have called me god, or demon, but I have never said I was these things. I am not in fact either of these things. I am like you save that you are mortal. I am untouched by time but fate and misfortune are my enemy as much as they are yours. I am sorry if you have been misled it was not my intention and do not want you to worship me. I cannot hear your prayers and will not be able to answer them. It was never my intention to mislead you"
It is clear from the look on many faces that my words have left them dejected and still others are smiling with a smug grin, I hate that but I don't say anything. In truth all I really want is for this god to leave me alone but then he opens his mouth one more time and says something that I make certain he regrets for the rest of his immortal life.
"he has taken from you wives for himself, and promised you eternal peace. There will be no peace with him or his people!!! I will demonstrate that I am the true god of the people and destroy them all starting with this one."
You almost have to laugh when someone says something like without taking even a second to figure out what they're up against. Now at first you might think to yourself "But Obsidian this guy is a greater god, capable of rending the continents you're totally screwed right?" and under normal circumstances you'd be right but I'm about to do something that will kind of even the odds.
"Gredienar! Would you challenge me with your weak, pathetic, and feeble avatar hiding your true self far away? Go ahead then show these people how much you truly fear me by hiding your true self away. Demonstrate the cowardice that is your true self."
Now I have basically just called this guy out and he has two choices: Eradicate me on the spot with his avatar or do the thing I just know he's gonna do. Instead he surprises even me with the thing he says next.
"I do not fear you mortal, you stand before me in my true form already. I ma a god and have nothing to fear from the likes of you."
That's music to my ears. I release the blade from within the handle and utter the words.
"Wanna bet?"
The gigantic being laughs at my audacity, apparently someone has tried this stunt before. Well not the way I'm about to do it. His hand glows and he calmly says
"Begone insect."
As a blast of white energy engulfs me and vaporizes the ground I was just standing on. it takes a second for the dust and smoke to clear, but when it does the look on this guy's face is priceless. Lo and behold, yours truly is standing defiantly before him without a scratch, although the power sinks in my armor read ten percent of full capacity, and to be honest that's pretty impressive considering a one megaton explosion wouldn't get half of a percent. Still the armor won't take but a few more of those and I honestly think he was holding back because the look of confusion on his face is replaced quickly with rage.
"You live? No matter I will destroy you once and for all."
Another blast only this time I don't stick around to absorb the energy. Again the smoke clears only this time he lets out a hearty chuckle and says to those watching.
"See now I have destroyed him. Now bow before your...GAHHHHH!!!"
He creams as I take my enchanted blade across his back cutting a gash nearly as long and I am tall. he falls to one knee and the look of rage returns as he has just realized....I can hurt him.
The crowd screams and flees in a panic trampling over each other in a desperate bid to escape the onslaught of destruction they know will surely ensue. A bolt of fire screams past me and impacts not far away leaving a massive crater large enough to fit a bus in. I toss one of my own via my sword and it hits him square in the face knocking his ornate headdress clean off. it disintegrates to nothing consumed by the magical flames. he reels from the pain and a bolt of lightning screams towards me. it hits me in the chest and the armor again absorbs the power. The sinks are now charged to thirty percent. I guess he stopped holding back. The earth beneath my feet cracks open in an attempt to cause me to plummet to my death and he is not amused to see me hovering above the newly created chasm. he pulls out two odd looking crescent blades and I laugh out loud this time. and extend my blade once more.
"Who are you?" He screams in rage. "How do you resiste my power? How can you defy me?"
"I am Obsidian Mask, I am Luminesti, an immortal elf, and this is my blade God Slayer, want to guess how it got it's name?"
For just a moment I watch his eyes as he begins to comprehend the gravity of the situation. You see there are very few ways to kill a god such as: Being and equally or more powerful god, or combining divine power to equal a more powerful god, or (as in my case) be an immortal being with a relic. What is a relic? A relic is a magical item of extreme power, so extreme that most divine beings try to conceal them, unable to destroy them by any means. My sword is such an item. It's power is insane, it can cast spells many times more powerful than mortal spells, and I can slay anyone who wields it with but a word, and most importantly the damage it does is not even close to proportional to it's appearance. What does this mean to our friend Gredienar? it means that he has just realized not only can I hurt him, but I can actually kill him. The only problem for me is that I don't want his power nor his obligations and they would all be mine just as Mooshadow's were when I gained her divine power accidentally.
The divine giant attacks again and again and my power armor absorbs each attack again and again. The power sinks filling more and more. he tries to use his swords but my relic makes short work of them cutting them to pieces. I retaliate again and again cutting him a little deeper each time burning him electrocuting and even freezing him little by little. Were it not for my armor he would've had made short work of me and he knows it. Twice he tries to teleport my weapons and armor away and twice I recall them to me. He is in full out panic mode and unleashes raw energy from his hands in a desperate attempt to destroy me. My armor takes it and I can feel it shudder as it absorbs more energy than I ever though possible. In a final bid to end this fight which has laid waste to everything for miles I take a flying leap at his head and transfer all of the stored power to my kinetic gauntlet for one finishing blow. Under normal circumstances I can lift about twenty tonnes but my gauntlets add all the power he's been thrown at me and it's just too much for him to take. With a thundering boom I connect solidly with his jaw and two of his divine teeth go flying knocking him cold. When he finally regains consciousness he is much smaller in stature, and nearly powerless. My blade is resting against his throat and he knows he's a dead man that is until...
"You know I could just kill you?"
"Then why don't you?"
"Because I don't want to."
"What is it you want?"
"What I want, is for you to do right by these people and let me and my people go home. In return you can tell them you defeated me and I was destroyed."
"And if I choose not to?"
"I have placed enough spells on you to make you go away for a long long time. I will banish you to the freaking void never to return again. Now you wasted a lot of power here today and I don't imagine you'll regain it any time soon without these people to worship you. So choose wisely."
'Fine so be it."
"My wives will leave with me, I will not turn my back on my responsibilities, and you will give them your approval. I will not have them going through some kind of inner conflict between you and me. Do this and I let bygones be bygones...refuse and God Slayer here lives up to it's name. Deal?"
"Deal."
Gods are unlike demons in one very important aspect, they are somehow compelled to keep their word, well most of them anyway. Here's hoping this one is one of the former.
In the end he lives up to his word, he repairs the damage we wrought, even resurrecting the people who died in the conflict (that's costly to a god by the way) and gives my wives his blessing and his leave. The vortex reappears once more right where it should be and we are on our way home. We have been here only a few short days but at home it has only been a few minutes...all in all I would call this a success. assuming of course that we arrive at home on the other side. I have all stations report in and once ready we make the jump. The ride back is every bit as rough as the ride in but knowing what to expect has helped us better fortify our systems and the damage is nearly so bad as the first time. The debris field remains and the vortex is somehow smaller afar less intense. We leave this place "the ghost world" behind and I hope I never return.
As we travel through the slipstream to Kryllia prime I find myself alone in my office with a moment of quiet contemplation. As I stare out into the swirling light of the stream, a voice speaks from out of nowhere, a famailiar voice I had hope to never hear again.
"You're welcome Obsidian."
I turn on a dime to see the diminutive form of none other than the Black Mantis himself. Fear and panic rise up inside me and anyone who has ever encountered this man knows both are well deserved.
"What?"
I ask trying to conceal the terror in my voice. I have known this being for centuries now and I would rather fight ten gods than be in his presence. Still, he just said you're welcome, and I need to know why. He walks over my desk sits down and props his feet on my desktop.
"You didn't really think you defeated Gredienar, so easily all by your little lonesome did you?"
"It' didn't feel like easy to me."
"Well it was, Your armor isn't what it used to be is it? No you should never have been able to absorb that much power. I mean come on he was a Greater god for crying out loud. Still I couldn't just let him destroy you. No I have plans for you, so I just thought I'd let you know I'm looking out for you....Heh heh."
With that he vanishes, and I'm shaking in my boots. He and I were finished, but it's clear now he's neer gonna give up trying to make a minion out of me, and there's no way to defeat him and no one I know of who can challenge him. What am I going to do? |

The day off was something I really needed and I spent the majority of it getting to know my knew wives, biblicaly and intimately. Aini has settled into her place as more of a maid than my girlfriend...I'm not exactly happy with the arrangement but I can respect the ladies' position on the subject and besides Aini seems perfectly happy to accommodate them so it's a smooth transition. My first wife Ai is a bonified warrior princess and understands the art of war and her position on my ship outside of our relationship is simple...she's a combat expert and I have placed her in charge of security. I make my way to the bridge and call all the senior crew to the briefing room to discuss our situation. As the crew assembles I note that there is some concern about my new choice for chief of security.
"okay everyone, I know you're concerned about my having chose Ai for the position of chief of security, but I did not make the choice lightly. She has a great deal of experience with security with her her tribe and while she is not yet up to speed on our procedures Shadawar will be working closely with her to get her up to speed. That however, is not what I assembled everyone here to discuss. Our source of greatest concern is the closed Vortex that initially brought us here. We don't even know where here is or we could plot a our way home and it's entirely possible that we might be in a different dimension altogether, where the passage of time is not parallel to our own as we discovered when we encountered the Kryllian survivors."
"Our sensors haven't been able to locate the energy signature from the vortex but we are holding this position until we have ruled out it's reappearance." Shadawar adds.
"It is possible," Sabrina says while gesturing to a nearby computer screen, "That the vortex is being manipulated by an outside force. This energy spike just before it's disappearance would indicate that an immense amount of magical energy was expended."
Caewon replies, "There are spells that can close portal like the vortex, but not on that large of a scale. It would take divine power to force a vortex that size to close completely."
No sooner are those words spoken when the whole ship shudders.
"Wat the hell was that!?" I exclaim as I spring from my chair.
We all rush out onto the bridge to find the ships alarms going off and the image of what looks like and Aztec, (or some variation thereof) chieftain on the viewscreen.
"I am known to the people of this world as Gredienar, God of the people. You have taken my children from my world and this I cannot allow!"
The figure on the screen appears male with three eyes and an attitude. Great just great I'm not sure if this a real god or just some impostor but he's got enough power to close a vortex of cosmic proportions. let me explain how this whole "God" really works. First thee are guys like me who are immortal and to a primitive society the magic and technology I possess would make me "seem" to be a god. Then there are beings of phenomenal power and technology beyond anything ever seen and they would be like gods too. But true gods, do not exist in our dimension and instead use avatars or remote controlled bodies, to interact with mortals. These are true gods, and they are insanely powerful and come in four classes: Elder gods, who possess power over life and death and can basically kill you with a though and are nearly omniscient, Greater gods who can control the elements and weather and just make life miserable for whole continents, Lesser gods who can control aspects like luck or crops and still have magic more powerful than mortals, and finally Demigods who are most often mortals who have ascended to divine status or (more commonly) are the offspring between a mortal and a god. Elves are considered to be somewhat divine and the offspring of elves and gods are usually lesser gods. This guy looks like a Greater but only because my ship is still here and we're not all space debris.
"You will return the four you have taken and leave or I will destroy your vessel."
I'm not a fan of threats and I really don't like being accused of "Taking" anything that isn't mine. Just as I'm about to object to is accusation Ai kneels before his divineness and says
"Great one, this man did not take us, we have been mated to him in the name of peace."
"A false peace child, brought by deception and fear. This one has told your people he was a demon who would harm you if you did not make peace and give you four as his wife"
Hearing this I'm appalled, and completely insulted.
"Excuse me your worship but I did no such thing."
"You deny telling these people you were a demon-god?"
"I never said I was, they did. I only said I could destroy them and did not wish to."
"You did not clarify with my children this distinction?"
"No I didn't see the need."
"Even now below there are those that are worshiping you. You have stolen these worshipers from me and I will not permit this affront to continue. You will return these four and I will annul your mating, and you bow before me and tell my children that I am the one and true god of the people."
"Seriously? You must be out of your divine mind. I don't bow to any god and I won't make an exception now just beacuse you're butt hurt that your people have been exposed to new ideas. I'll make certain they stop worshiping me because I am no god, but kneel before you like my wife? Ha! it'll be a cold day in hell."
The ship shudders again and this time he actually damages it. Okay fine, no problem I know how to deal with this, he's not the first god to give me crap and he probably won't be the last. We'll settle this on the planet below.
"Okay your divineness, you win, I'll do as you bid, just don't hurt my ship and crew."
"A wise choice pretender."
the screen goes off and the ships remains still. I turn on a dime and head for the lift. these people who have trusted me thus far loook at me with concern...they have no idea how this is going to play out. I have had this dance before, three different times before, now there's no god of trickery, god of games, or god of festivals....and I'm about to Demonstrate how my sword got it's name. |

I have just been told we may not be able to return home, that the vortex that led us here is no longer detectable to our sensors and I have no idea what to do next. I have competent crew working on a solution. I'm standing in my office staring out the window at the planet below...I often find myself doing that. This situation went from exasperating, to desperate. As I contemplate the situation my doorbell chimes:
"Enter."
Shadawar comes walking in, a look of concern on his face, dear heavens don't let it be more bad news.
"Captain, I'd like to speak to you about a personal matter."
"Oh thank the gods."
"What?"
"Honestly, I thought you were coming in here to tell me the power core was overloading or something."
"No heh heh, nothing even close. I just have this crewman who is working himself to death and refuses to take any breaks. I wanted your input on how I should handle it."
"Is he becoming a danger?"
"no but I'm afraid it may be interfering with his performance."
"Well have the The chief medical officer issue a medical for 24 hours R and R. I don't want anyone endangering this mission."
"I already spoke to the doctor and I have the order here."
".......it's for me isn't it?"
"Yup 24 hours R and R. As per YOUR orders sir."
"You know this isn't a military ship right, and that I don't have to follow those orders?"
"Yeah but I think you're overworking yourself. You've handled every critical aspect of this mission personally and it's been a bit much. You should seriously take a day to sort it all out. I can handle things for a day sir, get some rest...doctor's orders."
"Okay fine, maybe you're right. Just, keep the ship in one piece will ya?"
I turn the reigns over to my very astute first officer and head to my quarters where...five women are apparently waiting for me. I really hadn't been looking forward to dealing with this. The second I walk through the door I am assailed by women catering to my every need. Aini removes my helmet, and she's apparently been telling the others how to remove my armor as they disassemble it like pro's. I'm tired so I don't protest as they lead me to a hot steaming bath. I receive pampering the likes of which I have never known before. My mind becomes awash as these five ladies treat me like a king. They can cook their butts off and make a meal I won't forget any time soon. I discover the sister's names are Iote, Ninniach, and Vanim. There are many customs among her people that are strictly between husband and wife and they each take turns observing them. Aini of course is eager to help and any trepidation I felt before is washed away in a haze of delight. What's the old saying? "In for a penny, in for a pound?" I'm never gonna be good with this but maybe I can make it work. The next morning the Ai is waiting for me at the foot of my bed on her knees and I nearly lose it.
"Aini!!!!" I shout.
Aini rushes into the room, and immediately identifies the problem.
"N'uma amin arwen, lle uma il- kawa n'ala lle verno'. ro irma ten' lle a' be ho companion il- ho mool. ikotane duna, ro naa sai- lovien. lle coia yassen lye ar' sina lye men, saesa Soora lye customs."
(No my lady, you do not bow before your husband. he desires for you to be his companion not his servant. So rise, he is very loving. You live with us and this our way, please follow our customs)
Ai nods and I help her to her feet. She looks away, and all I can do is sigh. I lift her chin so that I'm staring in her ice blue eyes. I kiss her gently on the lips and she smiles. I feel warm and fuzzy and Aini is positively beaming. I can't look at this as a mistake anymore, I have to own this. I wanted peace with their people and this was part of the price for that peace. These women didn't ask for this but they accepted it. As for as Ai knows I am a demon just like Aini, or possibly worse. I have to do right by them and honor this arrangement in good faith. The ladies are a a team and a seamless one at that, they work effortlessly in the kitchen together. I call Aini over to me, she's gonna be my go to girl for managing this household, and as she approaches Ai speaks up.
"Aini, amin naa yeste' verne', whatever amin verno' quena, naa ten' amin ears. stay manke lle naa. verno', lle melar Lotesse sinta sut things moota sinome, nan' quel verno', ta naa amin yamen' san- acre en' lye eska. saesa quena a' amin."
(Aini, I am first wife, whatever my husband speaks, is for my ears. Stay where you are. Husband, your lover may know how things work here, but good husband, it is my place to take acre of our home. Please speak to me.)
I raise my hand towards Aini, and nod. With a look of concern she backs down.
"ai, lle quena sanya, Amin hiraetha. saesa nyara aini cael- ilye maa (exclamation)' lle report a' i' medical room ten' y' universal translator mauya. ta will halani lle rangw- i' dirthen lye ilye quena n'uma matter sut n'ataya ron naa."
(Ai you speak the truth. I apologize. please tell Aini to have each of you report to the medical room for a universal translator implant. it will help you to understand the languages we each speak no matter how different they are.)
Ai looks at her sisters and Aini and they leave for the Medbay. They each kiss me goodbye in turn and head out. I smile and think how I couldn't find one love and now apparently I have 5 and to my disbelief it's not a competition and nobody is accusing me of cheating. As I look around my quarters I realize that they are too small to accommodate six people and make a call to Sabrina.
"Engineering, this is the captain."
"Aye sir?" Sabrina chimes back immediately
"As soon as its convenient I am going to need to see you in my quarters."
"Only so long as you're not planning to add me to your harem sir."
Smartass,.
"Ha...ha...ha." I say wryly "You're close but not quite. I need to expand my quarters to accommodate my wives. As soon as you have time I need you up here to extend my living quarters if possible."
"okay captain, as soon as I'm able."
Maybe this won't be so bad after all.
The next thing I do is turn on my video equipment and watch and old tv show...I think I'm going to enjoy my day off...maybe even...make a sandwich and have a beer. Yeah. |

No, not just no but hell no! I don't need this, and when I say i don't need this it's only because I would rather walk through hell wearing a suit of ignited plasma than have one wife let alone four that that I didn't even ask to marry me. To make matters worse I only know one of their names...this is not how you begin a relationship...then again this was really more of a business transaction wasn't it? I despise primitive cultures...some of their practices are completely ridiculous no matter how much tradition and custom their steeped in. I have issues with a lot of aliens species that are like that too so I guess it's not exclusive to primitives. What am I going to do with 4 wives...and what about Aini? Dear gods I am so screwed. What's worse is I can't even spare the time to deal with it because of our current situation. We need to get out of here as soon as possible, actually it's not so much about getting out as getting home. Landing in the shuttle bay I grab a nearby security officer and order him to "Escort" my new brides to my quarters, he looks at me like I'm some kind of deviant and before I can say anything to him about it who should walk in but Aini. I take a deep breath and prepare for the backlash...that never comes. Instead what I get leaves more than just me wide eyed with surprise as Aini squeals with sheer delight.
"Oh when I got word that you had new wives I didn't think they'd be this pretty! Or this exotic, oh my master you do have excellent taste."
I'm practically speechless
"Huh say what now?"
"I am so happy you made this decision though I wish I could've been there for the wedding Master."
I'm very confused right now.
"Aini?"
"yes master."
"Are you screwing with me?"
"No Master. You look puzzled."
No. Not puzzled dear, downright confounded would be more precise."
"About what?"
"You're not angry? That I have wives, not a wife but four of them? You're not upset that you're not one of them?"
"Master, I was never meant to be a wife." to which she adds her cute little giggle.
'I am only meant to be a companion, the perfect companion yes but not a wife."
What kind of psychopathic, lecherous, sycophant, genetically engineers the perfect mate without the intent of marriage? You're telling me you're just made to be some over agreeable sex toy? That's INSANE!!!"
'To be fair master, my creators never meant for me to bond with mortals or those of the mortal realm.
"Ugh, this is making my head hurt."
"Don't worry master I'll take your wives to your quarters and help them settle in. I can't wait to find out all about them."
'yeah..okay...that'll be...great."
Aini takes Ai by the arm and speaking fluent Elvish takes her and the others away. Now don't get me wrong I have encountered worlds where concubines and polygamy are a way of life...they're just not my way and usually even where it's acceptable there's often friction between the ladies..and honestly I don't think it's fair for anyone's life to be a thing to barter with...it's just...inhuman. I don't have time to immerse myself in these moral quandaries right now though, I have to get us home. Actually Sabrina has to get us home. Hopefully the scavenging crews got some usable replacement parts and with the Kkryllian crew on board we have extra hands on board. Captain Drizna has been assigned to the wraith until we get home and while it's a small ship he is more than a little impressed with it's power and performance. The wraith can accommodate 30 or so of his crew and the shuttles a few dozen more. We've cleared out our sickbay, and the cargo holds and made the best of things. As I pass by crew quarters filled to capacity I ma relieved to see the integration going so smoothly. I make my way to Engineering to get a Sit-Rep from Sabrina who is hard at work with the retrofits. Despit the the caos she notices my entry even with her back to me.
"Welcome Captain, to what to do I owe the pleasure?"
"I'm here to get a status report. Whats running and what's not?"
'Well Captain we have our Shields and Warp Drive, as well as our Slipstream engines. Our replication systems are up and running but I have restricted their use to manufacturing parts for the time being until we're one hundred percent in the green."
"Were you able to salvage anything from the Kryllian ship?"
Definitely and with her crew here we have had almost no problems getting things adapted properly minus some systems that are just too different. Which of course is why we're not up and running."
"So how long before we can head home?"
"Id say roughly six hours."
"Finally some good news, alright six hours. I'll be on the bridge waiting on pins and needles."
"Yessir. Oh and Captain..."
"Congratulations." she says with a snicker.
"yeah thanks...smartass"
Everyone's a comedian, I thought I was done with the joke with Harley and Ray...seems that's gonna just follow me. Ah well such is life. Back on the bridge my helmsman is tapping keys frantically, searching and scanning and even without being able to see his face I tell something is wrong. I walk over to his station to see what's going on.
"What's up? Having difficulties?"
"You might say that sir."
"What's the problem?"
"It's the Vortex sir, we've been tracking it since we've arrived in this system."
"And..."
"Well sir, it's not on my instruments."
"What?"
"I've tried everything sir, the entire spectrum of scans and its just...gone...to put it simply...we're stuck here sir."

Just my goofy little drawing before B worked his magic on it and turned it into an awesome painting!
Goom and Googam are old school Kirby Marvel Monsters from shortly before he and Stan turned their attentions to superheroes. |
