Star Rider
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Maybe that’s why I didn’t hear myself scream when I saw the first missiles fly across the lower atmosphere of the Earth.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. There are a lot of statements like that: that space is the last horizon of discovery, that robots are eventually gonna to rule the supercluster, or that there’s always a bigger fish—whatever that’s supposed to mean.

Intention for Succession - Part 1
To whom it will concern, I’ve been among Enduring for a long time now. Specifically, the Truyian type of Enduring. For those who’ve never met an Enduring, which would be most of us: they’re immortals. Sometimes they are considered gods and sometimes they become a God (effectively) to some group of people if they’re twisted or vain enough. I used to imagine that being a god or God meant that you were necessarily Enduring. I’ve since decided that is completely untrue.

Scission
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. They were wrong. Joe’s breath is sluggish. Little clouds of air slowly seeping from her lungs become more ragged as rigidity from the cold sets in. Transient as it may be, birth is painful, but beautiful all the same. The Disa heard her call. The only way forward, is to evolve.

to the stars, through hardship
“Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say.” Goren said. In the long procession line of huddled bodies, his voice occupied the space between the repetitive squelch of feet, and the low, ever present hum of the aircraft leaving the planet, hidden by The Rift. The thick layer of smoke, named The Rift, blanketed most of the planet. It was a visible barrier between The Surface and all of its unsightly peaks and Above, where the air was thin and clean.

Finding Amaranth
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. When one disappears into the cosmos of darkness and space rock, they’re never to be found again. It is lonely in the cold and infinite wonder at the edge of the universe.

Twinkle
Nobody can hear you scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Although I’m pretty sure a couple dozen people tried to scream as they died a quick, cold death of asphyxiation as we pushed our way back to the moon in 2025. It was always the small oversights that precipitated catastrophes while we pushed human ingenuity to its limits. Whether it was a small O-ring that failed or not completely accounting for the severe degradation of UV light, there were mistakes. There were struggles. Some resulted in discomfort, others in death.

Liberating Rebel
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Yet, I swear I see him smile like he can when I do. One would think I’d be used to it by now, being left behind. Nevertheless, my heart sinks with the fresh wound every single time. It’s my fault, it really is. I went back to them thinking they’d changed. I can’t help seeing the best in people, even if they are criminals but I’m not above a little retribution when it’s warranted.

You never get a second chance to make a first contact
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But the cries of a little girl have moved a whole galaxy. The large number of ships that entered the system known by the locals as ‘Sol’ has been growing steadily for the last standard rotation. So much so, that the galactic police ordered the main reactors of any ship above fifteen Tera Bromings of power output to be shut down in order to keep their presence undetectable to the planet below. “This backwater little system is too primitive to be exposed to interstellar travel”, was the guideline given to any ships taking the trade rout that came to these parts. We, from the Galactic Society proudly follow the prime directive “We must give every species the chance to grow into members of the Galaxy’s Society without interference.”. But now the flagship of the galactic fleet was inbound and considering an intervention unlike anything ever witnessed in the known history. Having dropped from Tullet Space just minutes ago, the Spactulova, docked with the lead Galactic Police vessel where the grand fleet admiral will personally be briefed on the current situation and give the all-clear for the intervention to commence.

Space can be scary
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But this was completely different. We were in the vacuum of space but there was a piercing scream off the starboard hull of our ship. It shocked us. In essence the alien had screamed right into the metal and caused it to vibrate at the right level. At first the instruments on the board registered just the scream but then felt the weight of the alien , dubbed by one of the Crew, Siobhan as the Banshee.
