    Mars Silver was called an arena planet in the brochures. It was truthfully an exaggeration. No planet was just one thing. Like all major inhabitations a good portion of it was just civilians living their life. The arenas were just what made the planet more than a footnote. It prided itself...

    'Due Diligence' was the legal term that they were looking at. The term itself was rather loaded in this instance and not as clear as Bolt would like. In the scenario Bolt and Lilly were in they simply had to put what was considered reasonable effort into finding the woman. It was rather...

    Cian Lewin was best described as a piece of work. As a heir to the Lewin dynasty, she'd grown up wanting for nothing. She'd therefore been afflicted with a particularly common malaise that hit many heirs in her position. A large sense of ennui and a lack of care for anything but her personal...

    "Ug." Lilly muttered as she crunched through the food she was meant to eat. "That bad?" Bolt asked from his own meal. "No, but not to my taste." The woman still finished it, but she made a face. "Gonna try a different flavor next time." It was thankfully an option they had available. The...

    The Five Scrolls Compact was a complicated organization that had a lot of history. Most of that history was no longer relevant. They had once been the rulers, the kings, and the terrors of humanity. Under their realm people had been both elevated and devoured in equal measure. Their...

    Bolt was back in Tyra's office now. This time with Lilly. The expert looked relatively happy at the moment, also more than a little... Well polished was probably the best word for it. The two weeks of sedation had apparently included something resembling a spa, and Lilly's rather voluminous...

    Bolt had a problem. A very serious one. It was something he'd never encountered before. It was utterly unprecedented! He was utterly bored. There was nothing he felt like doing and he'd run out of his non-mech related chores. Going out into some public setting felt uncomfortable to even...

    A few days after the guest lesson, Bolt was back at the university. This time it was for a simple designer debate. These weren't really public things. There was no real audience for it, and most non-designers found them boring. Even designers didn't really enjoy listening to them frequently...

    After the uncomfortable market visit Bolt decided he'd just order things delivered if he needed them. In retrospect he should have expected a bit of that. He'd grown up in a place with almost no people. Large crowds and strangers were not something he'd be good with. He was actually hesitant...

    Class was a heavy thing in the galaxy. First Class, Second Class, Third Class. All of them were distinctly separated. Many of the ways they were separated were deliberately done. One of them was clothing. Your average Third Rate man used synthetic stuff that was comfortable and only needed...

    The trip to Morocco Haven had been both quick and uneventful. Settling down had likewise been easy. Lilly's mechs had both been deposited in a small hanger right next to the facility. The clinic had a lot of high profile people apparently, and it was not uncommon for mechs to be brought. The...

    "This feels like it's running away from something." Lilly muttered to Bolt as they got ready for their trip. "Do you expect everything to fall apart the second we're gone?" Bolt asked in turn, because he did. "A little." Lilly replied with a half smile. That was probably a problem. Bolt...

    CFA educational facilities were top of the line. Education was beyond important to them. It was considered the cornerstone of their reality. Everyone who worked on a ship was expected to be an expert in at least one topic. If they wanted to advance, you had to demonstrate excellence in many...

    With the CFA in orbit enforcing peace, the only thing they had left to do on the planet was cleanup. Locally this meant that morale was starting to soar. Battles had been reduced to a trickle due to sheer fear of possible CFA intervention. The organization wouldn't stop every fight on the...
