Based on the level of dust in the air, someone else had just recently driven to the site. Despite the heat, Peter rolled up the window. Such was the risk of driving in the desert. He would rather not be in the Jeep at all, but the call he got this morning could not be […]
I have never really quite been one with the rest of my peers (as may be obvious from the name of the blog). I am not going to assign blame. It is no more specifically society’s fault than it is my own. I see the world in a certain way, as do each of us. […]
As Emissary R18 entered his living quarters, he noticed a flashing light on the encryption console. This meant a new assignment was waiting for him. He put away the supplies he had just obtained, put a premade meal in the microwave, and got comfortable at the desk. The console required voice recognition followed by a […]
Sometimes, Steve stops securing something to say. Sans sally, Steve should seek some sort of stimulation; something to spark speech. In such situations, Steve seems to spring to silliness.
