2024-04-11 15:33:45 +0000 UTC View PostThe following day, I woke up later than ever before, at least while in this reality. It was just past noon when I finally slid out of bed, yawning and stretching carefully, still conscious of my surgery. I was still a bit tired, but a quick cup of coffee fixed that up. I didn't usually drink coffee, but this was exactly the k...

2024-04-10 00:18:11 +0000 UTC View PostProject Bastion was originally an experiment, and while I would consider it to be a success content-wise, it just hasn't caught on like I was hoping. While I consider my own enjoyment a critical majority when it comes to deciding what I am writing, I am also attempting to make this a career, which means I can't stick my head ...
2024-04-09 18:08:15 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! I'm going to be driving around tomorrow, chasing the eclipse, so I figured I would post this today to make things simple! Normal schedule will continue next chapter.

2024-04-07 15:17:17 +0000 UTC View PostAs the ship got closer, it got a bit easier to pick out details. It was a small ship, smaller than I expected, but its black hull and brutal design screamed edgelord darksider. It made me wonder if the Inquisitors had a hand in designin...
2024-04-05 14:59:46 +0000 UTC View PostWe stood in silence for a handful of seconds, all three of us pretty stunned that we had so easily dispatched both of the golems.
"Huh…" Barry eventually said, kicking at the cracks formed by the partial emerging and subsequent death of the knarled wooden golem. "Guess we are a pretty bad match-up for them."
"Ma...

2024-04-03 18:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostI made it to Vik's without any trouble, from my stomach or from traffic. The route was pretty easy, and Night City's traffic flow was actually surprisingly clean. Having grown up on the outskirts of a big city, and having been forced to drive into said city for anything important, not having to wait in traffic forever was alm...
2024-04-03 16:09:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe next day Barry, Danny and I left pretty early, hooking up the bikes to their carts and heading off. We had a decent trip to complete, and we were supposed to make it back in time for the second team to go out to the library when we got back. Getting up early felt normal at this point, so by the time I was out of bed and h...
2024-04-02 15:47:18 +0000 UTC View PostWe left the safe house behind at nearly midnight, hoping that the city nightlife, present even during the lockdown, as well as the darkness, would compensate for the obvious suspicion of people being out so late. The distraction group, armed with a bunch of supplies from the safehouse, split off immediately, heading out to th...
2024-04-01 15:06:05 +0000 UTC View PostWe brainstormed for a while before coming up with four main ideas for getting of Foless. One was we bought a ship. There were no doubt a few ships worth buying here, and not only could we offload it to the Rebellion when we were done, but this was probably one of the stealthier ways we could try and leave. Unfortunately, in t...
2024-03-29 15:45:26 +0000 UTC View PostSo, we gathered some ship types, now it's up to you guys to make the final choice! These are in no particular order:
Once people had finished exploring and claiming rooms, we started to actually move people in. Most of it was simply grabbing stuff from the temporary setup along the parapet and moving it into the space, but we also went out and around the bastion borders. Previously, while my jump team was recovering from our trip to Residen...
2024-03-28 15:26:31 +0000 UTC View PostSPOILERS - This chapter, and potentially the following chapters, contains spoilers for the universe that Jackson gets his second tech tree from.

2024-03-26 15:28:36 +0000 UTC View PostWe moved around the city, eventually making our way to a halfway decent vantage point, an abandoned landing platform for airspeeder, connected to an even older building. It overlooked a considerable amount of the warehouse district, including the abandoned warehouse where our target was supposed to eventually appear. As we se...
2024-03-25 15:32:48 +0000 UTC View PostThe ride to Bestine was, thankfully, a relatively short two-and-a-half-day trip from Omega Station, our transport making good time for its size class. Unfortunately, while the Staggered Bantha was technically capable of transporting all of us on top of our two clone pilots, the interior of the light freighter was cra...
2024-03-22 16:16:51 +0000 UTC View PostThe kobolds charged at us, fearlessly attacking us despite our significantly larger size and favorable numbers. Their growling turned to snapping as they jabbed at Barry, whom they reached first, their sharp, dangerous-looking teeth lashing out at him even as they tried to stab him with their spears. Rather than try and fight...

Hello everyone! So, the Skyforged are going on another mission! Before that, there was mention of procuring another carrier ship, one to carry the V-Wings and their pilots. This is the first stage of selecting that/those ships, the suggestion stag...
2024-03-20 18:12:10 +0000 UTC View PostWe stayed at Viks for another hour or so, discussing the bioware implantation process, what I needed to do, and the schedule. On my side, all I really needed to do was not eat anything the day before the surgery. It wasn't technically required, but it would reduce some risks and made Vik's job easier.
Vik also went out ...
2024-03-20 15:48:26 +0000 UTC View PostWe spent the rest of the day messing around and doing light work. I ended up testing the flame burst spell for myself after grabbing my spear and changing my spell. Charles hadn’t been kidding when he said the spear turned the spell into an actually focused blast. In fact, if anything, he was understating the change. Castin...
2024-03-19 15:35:21 +0000 UTC View PostAhsoka visibly sagged at my promise, beyond happy that the rescue operation finally had a chance. After a moment, she looked at me and nodded before we all sat back around the table and focused on the mission. We were on a timer now, one that could go off at any moment. The quicker we could figure out what we were doing and g...
2024-03-18 14:58:54 +0000 UTC View PostWhile our restructuring and expansion plan only took a few hours to develop, it took just over two weeks to really implement. I spent most of that time away from the station on the Chariot. We bounced around nearly a dozen planets, picking up supplies for Pola and Miru, as well as buying medical equipment, general su...
2024-03-15 15:11:47 +0000 UTC View PostWe appeared right where we had left, in the Bastion kitchen. A few people were sitting around, nursing mugs of tea or coffee, all of them jumping a bit when we arrived, but as a whole, the group quickly calmed down. Among them were Charles and Sarah, the other two civilians who had come with us, as well as a few others. Georg...
2024-03-14 15:17:01 +0000 UTC View PostSo, Jackson is about to meet someone! While I control who, what, when, where and how, its up to you to pick how they look!
(Yes this is the second attempt, lets hope it works)
Jackie and I spent the next few hours testing out all three of my new and improved mag weapons. We burned through just about all of the custom, high-accuracy ammo I had made, putting all three weapons through their paces. By the end of the second hour, Jackie and I were consistently using the mag sniper to tap our furthest ta...
2024-03-13 16:09:06 +0000 UTC View PostWe left the restaurant about five minutes after dispatching the canine zombies, a heavy weight pressing down on the group. Logically, we knew that George was alive, especially since Barry had already died during the Die Hard jump. Despite that, waking up to him being mauled to death was obviously a shocking experience. In all...
2024-03-12 15:35:26 +0000 UTC View PostI took a moment to gather my thoughts, scanning around the room. The troopers all looked healthy and hearty, clearly having recovered from their hibernation sickness. It was hard to tell, but they did also look a few years younger. According to Ahsoka, that was a side-effect of being cured of their accelerated aging.

2024-03-11 15:49:47 +0000 UTC View PostI only had to wait in the large locker for about thirty minutes before Captain Senita hit the all-hands alarm, the klaxon easily audible through the metal door of my hiding spot. I waited a few minutes past that before pushing the door open and stepping out into the airlock entry space. A quick look around proved I was alone,...
