Not long after I finished my power armor design, Vik arrived to take a look at the designs for our next round of implants. Frank had completed the designs for the bioware lungs, nerves, and secondary heart, each of them based on designs made by the Institute, then upgraded as much as they could handle. In this case, it wasn't...
2025-04-30 15:47:58 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up the next morning tired, my brain feeling foggy and sluggish. I had pushed my magic significantly while making the metal tree the previous night and in more ways than one. Watching Olivia work her ritualized cloak like she had been had led me to a bit of an epiphany.
So far, I had been using magic like it was r...
2025-04-29 15:42:17 +0000 UTC View PostOur arrival at Nirn was different from what it usually was. We were still playing the robbery and killing of Jabba close to our chests since we didn't want to be connected to it quite yet. That would be a really good way to start a lot of trouble, so we kept things simple, no bragging about our loot or showing off what we had...
2025-04-28 15:37:04 +0000 UTC View PostWith the heist of Jabba complete, there will be a lull as the money they earned is being spent, and the other loot is being sold. When that's over, what emergency calls them back to action?
2025-04-26 16:41:34 +0000 UTC View PostWith Jabba's personal vault finally found, I finally set a time for us to leave. At this point, we had been here for almost fourteen hours, including our first round through to clear it of hostilities. That was by and far long enough to clear most of the structure for anything worth keeping. At this point, we were running out...
2025-04-25 15:41:10 +0000 UTC View PostMy not quite panicked, but certainly not calm, cool, or collected retreat carried me back into the forest. Soon, the vast open plains were obscured by the trees, so I slowed my run to a light jog, my body handling the strain surprisingly well. I continued to follow the path all the way back to the ruined and rusted building, ...
2025-04-24 15:25:00 +0000 UTC View PostKaytlyn and I chatted for a while, sharing stories about growing up over her beer and my fruit salad. After a while, when I realized just how late it had gotten, I headed off to bed. As I crawled into bed, I idly realized that this could possibly be the last time I slept there. I was unsurprisingly excited by the concept of m...
2025-04-23 15:53:23 +0000 UTC View PostDirector Piggot sat at her desk, scattered pictures spread around the work surface, covering other case files and documents. The images showed a large metallic tree growing through the front walk of a collapsed house. They were shot from every conceivable angle and were meticulously labeled.
The images showe...
2025-04-22 15:42:53 +0000 UTC View PostThe massive slug turned his head, breaking off from his shouting, watching me as I approached. There was a clear intelligence behind those eyes, I could feel the cold calculations as he analyzed me. After a moment, before I had even reached him, he began shouting again.

2025-04-21 15:48:32 +0000 UTC View PostIn today's poll, there seems to be a bit of confusion between the "on the run" option and the "hiding in Night City" option. On the run means she is gone, having left NC behind to lay low in who knows where. Hiding in Night City means she is laying low in NC, and theirfor potentially reachable by Jackson.

2025-04-19 19:09:12 +0000 UTC View PostJackson received the report on the people he asked Dakota to look into for him, but he has been very busy, and hasn't had a chance to look at it. He definitely hasn't been purposely ignoring it. Now, decide the fate of Sasha Yakovleva!
2025-04-19 16:33:42 +0000 UTC View PostWith the communications completely shut down, a large weight was lifted off of our shoulders. According to Racer, none of the open links we had interrupted were close enough to Tatooine to bother us, and only one of them had even realized something was wrong. That meant that we were more or less free and clear of outside rein...

Once the door was firmly shut, I slid down against it, my back pressed on the wood and iron. I spent the next twenty minutes in various stages of panic. I wasn't exactly...
2025-04-17 15:49:37 +0000 UTC View PostDespite our penchant for overplanning, it quickly became apparent that there wasn't much planning to be done for this mission, as it was pretty clear-cut. Most of the building was concrete, with metal railing and walkways installed for the workers. On top of ...
2025-04-16 15:20:11 +0000 UTC View PostAlya kept us updated as Crow crawled her way through the open window, making her way through the three-story townhouse. With Alya guiding her to her first target, she went up, climbing a staircase to find a goon sitting in a bedroom, looking out a window. She approached silently, merging with the shadows until just before she...
2025-04-15 15:27:54 +0000 UTC View PostWhile we eventually reached our target, our trek across the desert was not without its trails. On top of one detour around an impassable stone mesa, we had to circumnavigate two different canyons of exceptional depth and width. Technically, we could have flown over the obstacles with our repulsor packs, but I wanted to conser...

I very specifically withheld showing what was behind the first dark door, where Connor would receive the majority of his quests. This is your opportunity to do so! A reminder, these are worlds where either things are normally very bleak and dangerous, o...
2025-04-12 16:55:28 +0000 UTC View PostAhsoka was the first to speak as we settled into our planning session. We had discussed killing Jabba the Hutt before, the two of us, back when she was still stuck in the old Jedi way of non-interference and stagnation. Now, her questions were a bit more reasonable.
"Are we sure we should kill Jabba now?" She aske...

Updates will happen every Thursday, and just an FYI, for these first few chapters, things a very open to change. At some point that window will close, likely when I start posting to wider audiences, but for now I will let you know and post new updates should I make any change...
2025-04-10 16:21:46 +0000 UTC View PostVik gave me the specs for Rebecca's arm connection points, as well as the specs on her internal cyberware. She thankfully had the proper internal reinforcements for gorilla arms, so whoever her ripperdoc was, he wasn't a complete hack. The implants weren't quite up to my standard, so I needed to make sure I was inside her spe...
2025-04-09 15:33:55 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning, I woke up just in time to find Olivia stretching outside her guest room. It was pretty early, so I guess continually getting up to run the early morning patrols had affected both our sleep schedules. She quickly spotted me and nodded, before I waved her over to the lounge area. After a breakfast of fruit and...
2025-04-08 15:29:25 +0000 UTC View PostIt took three days in total for all of our outstanding ships to be cleared and sent to Nirn. The Imperial Escort Carrier from our rescue mission received a clean bill of health and a full stamp of approval from o...

2025-04-06 21:53:28 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! So, as you may be able to tell from the title, I have decided to go with the Guildhall concept for my new story, but with a serious twist. After some thought, I realized that the Guildhall and Generals Questbook would actually work together really well. The focus would be shifted to a larger scale, but the que...
2025-04-05 16:26:18 +0000 UTC View PostWe returned home from our stay at Alpha Base to find that… Everything was fine. We were still waiting for a response from 2nd Group as to how their mission was going, but other than that, things were going well. According to everyone I talked to, our projects at Vercopa were moving along. Already, money was starting to flow...
2025-04-04 15:15:13 +0000 UTC View PostEating at the PRT cafeteria was a rather interesting experience. It was a similar setup to what you would expect at a large corporate workplace. A few cooks sat behind the counter, making simple things, like sandwiches on demand, with more complex things coming from large batches that were premade. It was surprisingly mundane...
2025-04-03 15:40:34 +0000 UTC View PostThe latest addition to the current local Aldecaldo branch sat down at the table across from me, looking around as he did. He spotted the stairs, the door to the door to Frank's office, as well as the kitchen set up that Jackie made his way to. He was clearly curious, but he kept his thoughts to himself, watching us silently.<...
2025-04-02 15:28:31 +0000 UTC View PostUnsurprisingly, we were quickly escorted inside, PRT officers lifting the Empire thugs up and carrying them away while Assault and Battery greeted us, guiding Crow, Flashbang, Glory Girl, and myself into a familiar conference room.

The interior was empty of all breathable atmosphere and had long since cooled to the ambient temperature of the space it traveled through. The ship itself drifted at an angle, purposely set as to further throw off suspicions that it was capable of moving under its own power...
