    Alternate beginnings (Rewritten Chapter) Unknown Star system, Manassas March 15, 3000 "It's a good thing I'm descended from generations of farmers," I sighed as I looked at the seed stocks that had been stowed away in vacuum-sealed containers.

    Blood on the Horizon (Reimagined) Chapter 1 I woke up with a jerk of my head and a gasp as if I were drowning, sucking in air as I opened my eyes to be greeted by steel. Shifting, I flailed about, spinning listlessly in a circle until I managed to force a stop inside a corner of the room...

    So, backstory, haven't painted a minifig since the 90's. Back then they were mostly lead, but some places you could get some plastic kits from (like GDW) and they were moving from lead to alternative metals towards the end of my time painting but I gave up just about all my hobby stuff when I...

    Prologue Earth The hospital room was clammy cold, smelled like disinfectant, and had all the other discomforts common to all medical establishments.

    BattleTech - What would you invent?!

    So..you're a renowned scientist in your field. You left with Kerensky's Exodus and, believe it or not, made it to a Garden world that wasn't trying to kill everyone every other hour. With that in mind, what sort of tech do you and your brethren develop since you're not committed to developing...

    Crossposting from SB, not that I'm desperate for feedback and comments or anything. This is brain-bug, a series of them, that crawled in my head and just. wouldn't. shut up.

    There were occasions when I woke up due to muscle cramps, a bad way to wake up, but this is worse, much worse. It is like all of the muscles in my body are rebelling.
