    Less Than Heroes, More Than Friends (Jade)

    "...Wai-!" The ZAKU angled itself back as the women started to run. As they started to shoot. The swarm of wires whipped this way and that, trying to snag a hold. To coil onto them, secure them for transport and triage. The head creaked as it turned slightly this way and slightly that, the...

    Less Than Heroes, More Than Friends (Jade)

    The Hospital ZAKU plodded its way right up to the periphery of the Getter's latent aura. Dwarfed by the super robot, it seemed to keep a respectfully wary distance. It was at least close enough that the edges of their illumination pool made its features more distinct. Its hull was well worn from...

    Less Than Heroes, More Than Friends (Jade)

    The Type-77's hatch grudgingly parted. The sharp bang of the release sent it clattering across the deck, both noises echoing into the still abyss. The interior was still perfectly intact, with only a few of the survival tools absent from the emergency kit. As if a stranded pilot had set out into...

    Less Than Heroes, More Than Friends (Jade)

    As they ventured from the Getter at last, there was a chill to the air around them. Not so much literal temperature (although there was a distinct lack of heat), but a permeating eerieness that clawed at them from every molecule. The further they ventured away from the Getter, the more acutely...

    Less Than Heroes, More Than Friends (Jade)

    Looming within the darkness was the shattered hulk of what had once been a massive carrier. Its hull bore both the telltale scars of its final, losing battle, as well as major structural damage from subsequent collisions, presumably while adrift. Several of those otherwise mundane markings had...

    Between the forces within and the forces without, the orb trembled and echoed with mechanical din. For as peculiar as the crystal may have looked, it was ultimately as brittle as flash-frozen ice. The walls crackled as more fractures appeared, and more stray shards rained down from the ceiling...

    Less Than Heroes, More Than Friends (Jade)

    As there had been before, so was there now a long passage. Sealed within the orb of frozen crystal, they were spared gazing into a featureless void, and the pressure that could bring to bear. But the interminable monotony now lacked any sensation to suggest they were even moving at all. Their...

    ... if this is a museum, and the exhibits are supposed to be interesting. That means it's a museum made to be looked at... at night. ... back there, left at the oil barrels, right at the fishmonger, then straight until the... ...will take two months between the three forts probably, depending...

    Less Than Heroes, More Than Friends (Jade)

    The lights filtered through the curtain of water, individual clouds and waves vying with each other as they hung suspended just beyond the Getter's reach. Beyond them was an ever-present emptiness, the sort whose very lack of existence made the imagination grope for definition. One could easily...

    Less Than Heroes, More Than Friends (Jade)

    Down and down. Through the endless dark they fell. As Jonahs before a whale, the yawning void swallowed them whole, and they fell ever deeper into the abyss. The only light was that which they brought with them aboard the Getter. The only sound that which they, and it produced. Their only...
