    Disaster strikes the Hail Mary on its way back to Earth. The taumoeba escape their breeding tanks, and make it to the fuel lines. Stranded in space just outside the Tau Ceti system, Dr Ryland Grace can't do anything. He can't go save Rocky, he can't go save Earth. Exhausted, out of options, and distraught, he fills the ship with nitrogen, and takes his final breath.

    Summary

    Desmond was ready to sacrifice himself to save the world.

    ...but god, he didn't want to die.

    When he activates the device in the depths of the Grand Temple, however, he finds himself hanging in a strange void, with thousands of gold threads trailing off in every direction. In desperation, Desmond starts to climb one of the threads, hoping it will help him escape his fate. Anything would be better than dying, right?

    Wait. Why is he now in 15th century Florence? Why are Altaïr and Ratonhnhaké:ton here too? Is this some kind of hallucination?!

    And where the hell is Ezio?!

    Summary

    I glanced over, and saw that Martyn was drinking something from a large mug. “I’d like it if you were crew,” he said once the mug was half-empty. “It’s been nice, getting to know you.”

    I looked away, and tried to wrestle my organics back into order from where they’d gone all weird and hot and wibbly and melty.

    SecUnit deals with the horrors of being in a supportive environment, and makes a choice.

    Summary

    A reimagining of All Systems Red/Season 1, using elements from both.

    Sent on what should be a long and tedious, but extremely simple, mission, Gurathin finds himself an unwitting target of The Company's shadow client and is forced to join up with a free-hold survey team way over their heads, and a rogue SecUnit that can't seem to catch a break.

    Gurathin is assigned as a systems engineer to DeltFall during the ill fated survey, with orders to collect information for the shadow client, GrayCris, that could lead to the location of alien remnants. After their Security Unit and a researcher are mauled by giant fauna not in the information packet, and experiencing satellite outages, PresAux reaches out to DeltFall for assistance, and Gurathin is sent to assist, although no gift is truly free. Left with PresAux with orders to clone their data for DeltFall, Gurathin narrowly avoids sharing the fate of the rest of the team. Now he's stuck with a group of hippies, a Murderbot, and a fellow DeltFall survivor he's never seen before.
