Battle Hymn of the Republic

Curtiss grinned as the tank moved out and into the sunlight. it was nice feeling the new machine crawl its way forward, hydraulically driven legs making the ride much smother than some of the enemies' clockwork-based mechanisms he had ridden on after battles. He spun a crank located next to his seat...

For the past couple of days, the girl had been walking in the general direction of a source of lights. She could only see them at night, so during the days she noticed that she would get a bit off-course, but every time this happened, she would simply correct as soon as night fell and she could pick...

The Squad made their way down the one dimly lit hallway, which, indeed did get brighter as they went. the sounds of machinery grew louder, and the temperature rose, as if something was creating heat nearby. Soon, they came upon the source of the noise and light- It was the main reactor room, and the...

After having walked for a couple of days, The Girl had grown tired of logging her surroundings, and had begun to choose instead to simply observe. She could write notes later, if need be, and, if nothing else, there were other Surveyors who would have done their jobs. This new sensation she had been...

After the pilot and the loud twins(well, just one of them was loud, but they seemed to go together), the overly quiet Zali made her way up the ladder and then down through the hatch, to sit in her gunner's position.

Curtiss Valtris stood in front of his tank. The MK IV Pajak, a newer model, was currently inactive, and didn't exude the many noises a tank normally would if it were. Instead of waiting to be sent on a mission, however, this one was just waiting for it's crew. The commander sighed and looked at the ...

The night sky flashed and rippled as a metallic object cut through the atmosphere, igniting the air itself on fire and barreling down in a blaze of brilliant white, cutting through with determination. Within less than a second, the flash was gone, the small streak it left in the minds of those few l...

You are a Civilian. This war is something you never wanted, and you just wish the aliens and military would stop fighting. You fled, from city to city, finally setting in Coulee, a small village hidden in the mountains, far from the war. Your life is finally peaceful again, and you hope that by bein...

Sometime in the future, 'visitors' began appearing on earth. They blended in, living with Earth's society, unknown among the humans. Part of an Alien race known as Citabrians, these Visitors were here to survey the land and find a place where the Citabrians could live. The plan- invade the Planet Ea...
