History

Snr Captain Tano’rath Cmdr, DES Defiant I.D.A.F. First Fleet Imperial Drakonian Space-Fleet “What, mucking around in a simulation for half a day counts as ‘enrichment’?” I remarked, looking through the pamphlet that Talorath had forwarded to me. “Surely there’s a mistake in here somewhere…” “I checked it up, it’s apparently correct,” Talorath replied, shrugging, “something to do with the push to learn more about our origins and history.” “Ah, yeah. I saw a bit of that going around. There’s a whole list of simulations that you can do, isn’t there?” I remarked as I tried to find the email in my overflowing inbox. “Since it counts to the quota, I’ll probably do the flight one.” “What, the powered one or the one before our wings shrank?” Talorath replied with an amused snort, “I think I’ll do the one about life after the Unification Wars. It’s always the bit that gets glossed over in the books.” “The one before our wings shrank. Powered flight is a pretty stale topic – it’s all

Camping in Comfort

Camping in Comfort “Really? Camping?” I remarked, rolling my eyes as I settled into my chair. “You know this is the first bit of leave we’ve both had in more than a year and you want to go and roll around in mud?” “Well, it’s spring back home and you’re always on about finding time to smell the flowers, so I would like us to smell them.” Fiora retorted, her brightly lit office contrasting starkly with my dim quarters. The lights had been fried recently in an altercation with a few pirates, so all I had was my less than good table lamp. I ended up snout-clawing. “No, that is a meta

Bigger and Better

Bigger and Better I paused to mark some time off on the calendar that I had hanging on the wall of my quarters, using it as an excuse to get away from the computer in front of me. While most people just used the calendar on their comms units and computers, I liked to have a physical one to glance at and scribble on. Doing this, however, didn’t distract me from the rut that I had gotten myself stuck in. The report sat open on my computer, the cursor blinking away as it had been for the past half hour and it seemed that the next hour would produce the same results or lack thereof. On the upside, the calendar had been updated with my le

Romance...or a lack thereof

Romance…or a lack thereof “Yeah, I suppose I could go and have a beer.” I remarked, reclining in my chair. It was good to be away from the ship for once. Fiora, who had also taken leave, snorted as she threw a cushion at me. “It’s a festival to celebrate love and life and all you think about is beer. Typical!” I was about to retort when I got slapped in the snout by the cushion. “Gah! Come on! I’ve been stuck in a metal deathbox for almost a year. Cut me some slack!” “They told me this would happen if I chose someone from the Fleet.” She grumbled, half-heartedly throwing an

Communication

Communication “What do you mean it’s my discretion? That’s not how it works!” I protested, glaring at Talorath. Talorath himself shrugged. “It’s what the orders say, captain. You get to decide what we direction to explore in.” “Right, well, do we have anything interesting around here?” I replied, scratching my head. High Command usually had a heading at least, but obviously not this time. Perhaps the minimum length of this ceasefire had blindsided them since it was longer than normal. “No, it’s just empty space. Came the reply. I growled in annoyance then just pointed in w

Lasting Impressions

Lasting Impressions Band camp. Things people talk about when they reminisce about their school days. They tell me about ‘that time at band camp’ and so on. This isn’t restricted to the younger bunch either. Longer serving men and officers talk about such experiences too. While I would have liked to relate, I couldn’t since I never went for a band camp. In fact, I was never in a band and I hated camps. I was part of the shooting team and outside of the occasional team dinner, we never did anything special. However, I did help run one of those camps before. It was one of those Community Engagement programs where we we

Costume Shop 1 (Dragon Suit TF)

“Come on, I know you have even better costumes than these!” The old man looked up from the book he was reading and let out an irritated sigh before replying, “And you know that I’ve told you this before: the only things I’m selling are on display in this room.” He gestured to the racks of costumes that were lining the store’s wall before continuing. “If you want something else you can do a special order or you can go to another store.” Normally the shop owner was a somewhat friendlier person, but it seemed that Ryan was starting to irritate him. “Come on, you said yourself that a

Resistance C0: The Aftermath

Resistance Prologue: The Aftermath As the morning light streamed in, shining in my eyes, I groaned and rolled out of the sad excuse of a bed that I had. As per my normal routine, I took a pen and drew another mark on a sheet of paper, almost filled with marks of the same nature. At the end of every week, I would add another mark, counting the time. Time. Even that was hard to keep track of nowadays, with all the technology gone. Even the bombs had been taken, and my watch had been no exception. I had gone from living in a nice flat to having to build this cottage from scratch, with some help, of course. The walls were made from coarse wood,

So it's been half a year or so since my last update, so I shall post one. I have completed uni and I'm now working. Things are going along alright, though I don't really have that much free time now. I'm still writing and I've been taking advantage of my train rides home to get stuff done. And for those of you who know about my liking for cars, yes, I take a train and bus to work because the traffic is actual cancer. I still drive in some days tho, because it lets me get home earlier. The series 'The return' is still alive, just slow because I need to decide where I wanna take it and how. My monthly prompts are still coming monthly along wi

Update

Ah, it has been a year since I last posted a journal. As most of you have noticed, I have not been very active. This is because this year was my final year in university and I was spending most of my time on my thesis work and final year subjects. It's all done now, all I really have to do is clear up some other general stuff and then graduate. This, of course, means that I have more free time now, and no headaches from rushing work for uni. This should mean that I'll write more and I do hope that will be the case, though time will be spent on other things, such as figuring out what happened to my social life. Either way, look below to see t

Happy 2018, everyone. It's been a while since I posted anything (again), and that might be the case for a while. I've been tossed a paper to write for my thesis project and will be focusing on that for now. Just putting this up to let you guys know that I'm still around, only a bit busy at the moment. But anyway, feel free to ask me stuff on here. I still do check my dA often enough. May everyone have a good year! Tano'rath out
