Warning: The first scene is rather rough. It may hit some people's triggers, considering the subject matter. I won't go into detail, because it would give away things, but I'm just putting the warning out for you guys. It's short, and it will quickly be concluded, but nonetheless it is...
Well, this was a thing. Sorry I'm running over an hour behind scheduled update, I decided to go back over the chapter again with a fine-toothed comb and made some additional edits.
Germination 2.6
Alain Gabriel/Accord
"What do you think of Miss Hebert?"
He didn't turn from his gaze out...
I mean, I still view her as stoic and robotic. But I can guarantee, that there are times when Becky is internally screaming and raging at the 'inherent stupidity' of her subordinates when she is to blame for putting them in the position. She just never shows it lol.
Next chapter is looking...
Germination 2.5
Danny
"Drive."
That simple command from John Milton, their new lawyer, was all that was needed as their driver shifted the Suburban into gear, and began driving. The resultant sound of the engine gaining rpms existing as the only sound in the otherwise silent cab of the...
Germination 2.4
Emily Piggot
When she had commissioned the inspection of Zero Dawn Technology, she had done it as an opening salvo in a campaign to deal with the Heberts. It wasn't meant to be much more than be a fishing expedition and begin tightening the screws on the company. Contrary to...
Germination 2.3
Taylor
Earlier
Settling in an office chair far too luxurious for my tastes, I removed my Focus from its place in the side of my head and onto its charging cradle.
Enveloped in the darkness from whence I had become a welcome escape as of late. I wasn't brooding, I wasn't that...
Germination 2.2
Taylor
Sipping from my lukewarm coffee, I couldn't help but watch the trainwreck that was the argument taking place between my father and Jean. I despised the taste of the bitter black brew but it was providing me one of the few sources of energy that I was in desperate need...
Storm clouds are gathering. Taylor will be next chapter.
Germination 2.1
Doctor Mother
"It has been a month now, Fortuna. I have done what you have asked and run interference for you, but I need to know what is going on. Why have you interfered with the Terminus Project?"
In the realm of...
Well here we are, the final chapter of the 1st Arc.
Seed 1. DUC (End)
Danny
Setting his glasses on his desk, Danny Hebert leaned back in his chair, a sigh escaping his lips as he sought relief through rubbing the bridge of his nose. Sitting before him was more paperwork than he had seen in...
Added a few format changes to the story going forward. Just to remove some possible confusion on who's perspective we are focusing on. Other than that, another chapter down. Next chapter will be the Arc and and then we'll be moving forward in time. Not dramatically, but to keep the ball rolling...
Don't get your blood pressure up too far. Just a bit of spoiler, Jean Brown is Citrine's actual birth name. This is a Accord plot. Though, I do find it funny everyone's reaction to this easter egg.
Shorter chapter, but I felt like going deep into more material after the ending would be a bit counterproductive as you all know what is upcoming. Instead, I just decided to cut it off and begin work on the final chapter of the arc.
Not much to say. Probably would have had it done two days ago...
I know I said I was planning to get the chapter out sometime this weekend, but I underestimated the need of painkillers post-surgery, so I was not exactly in the greatest of minds to write. Hell, I'm still unhappy with this chapter. Then you throw in some more personal issues, and I am 4 days...
So here we are, the next chapter. I'm about a day behind, but I got it in before my surgery on Thursday, so good job me.
I'm still not comfortable in the direction I'm taking Armsmaster, but I'm grateful that this is likely one of the last Armsmaster-centric POVs for the forseeable future...
So, originally I was just going to do an entire plethora of Interludes clumped into one chapter, labeled Seed , but I decided that it may just be better to post them as I went, because some of you are probably wondering what is going to happen next. So, I'm just going to lay it out here, that...
This chapter was honestly difficult. Not in the sense of writing it, but the balancing what is canon Pre-Levi Douchebag Armsy and what I'm trying to convey. A lot of my premise for this Armsy is based upon the fact that he is more comfortable around Tinkers who are, like him, sure of themselves...
So I was going to wait until tomorrow to post this, but we have window replacement guys coming in, and my main computer that I do for comfortable writing and what not is located right by a window so I have to tear it and the desk apart tonight. So yeah, another chapter, I'm working on the next...
Yes and no. It's more of Faro's discrimination against the disabled that wasn't fully detected that readers it's ugly head. It's mentioned two chapters from now but basically Faro didn't believe Taylor was of any use to the Protectorate, cape or otherwise so he took things in his hands to try...
Seed 1.2
There was something to be said about the feeling of proving the naysayers wrong. They had told her that she would never be able to see again. The high of proving them not only wrong, but hilariously wrong, was a high that she was still running on, four days later.
That wasn't to say...
An Everdistant Horizon
Seed 1.1
It was the same dream as every time before: a world on fire and choked in ash. Of uncountable screams, from all manner of lungs, but also of something else. A world rendered desolate as the last vestiges of life are snuffed out. A barren, lifeless rock adrift...
