Alpedurch Soulobert was a forty-something, red-haired Intaki with an earnest demeanour and a firm handshake.

After greetings and introductions, I said, “So what’s burning, Mr Soulobert?”

“Our investment, Captain Korff,” replied the agent. “A few months ago we hired a group of talented scientists to work on an important project. They were on a verge of a breakthrough when they were kidnapped. If we don’t rescue them, not only we’ll have to restart the project, but our adversaries will get a head start.”

“Interesting,” I said somewhat acerbically, “that a representative of a charitable organisation such as Sisters of EVE did not mention the scientists’ wellbeing as a cause for concern.” Continue reading “A Case of Kidnapping — Part I”

“Good morning, Sister. What have you got for me?” I said, entering Sister Alitura’s office.

“Good morning, Captain,” the agent said and pointed at a huge container in the corner of the room. “This.”

“What’s that?” I asked, eyeing the box suspiciously. Continue reading “The Blood-Stained Stars: Closing In — Part I”

9 August YC 127

It was the morning after a Friday night which I spent celebrating the end of the work week. Not that I had specific working days or hours, but it was a tradition that I cherished from my programming days. Understandably, I planned to sleep off the worst effects of the hangover and turned on Do Not Disturb mode on my commlink. Imagine my surprise, when the damn thing started buzzing around 8 o’clock. There was only one person who could call me at any time — Aura — and she would not do it without a reason. Well, it had to be a bloody good reason, I thought darkly, picking up the device.

I smiled pleasantly, “Good day to you too, Sister.”

Alitura shook her head in a display of frustration, “We have an urgent situation here, and I’d appreciate if you took it seriously.”

“If it is that urgent, why didn’t you engage a local pilot rather than someone seven jumps away?”

“Because,” Alitura replied with a note of bitterness, “if you remember, my management decided that the only contractor I could work with on The Damsel case was you.”

“The Damsel case?” I asked eagerly. “Have you got any new leads?” Continue reading “The Blood-Stained Stars: Queens and Drones — Part I”

27 April YC 127

In the end, it turned out neither of The Damsel survivors I brought to Sisters of Eve had a clue what had happened. After interrogating Sister Alitura’s greatest hope, engineer Tahaki Karin, we were none the wiser. Tahaki spent all her time in the engineering section and made a lucky escape in a pod when she heard an evacuation alarm. Otherwise, she had no idea who or what attacked The Damsel. Sister Alitura tried to track other survivors but to no avail. The days went by and there were no good news; any news, for that matter. Gradually, I came to believe that it was a cold case and returned to my usual pastime of harassing Guristas in Okela constellation. Imagine my surprise when more than a month after my last SOE mission I got a call from Alitura. I immediately jumped into Kaukokärki and flew to Arnon.

17 March YC 127

I spent a rather uneventful morning in SOE Bureau station and was considering my lunch options when I received summons from Sister Alitura. I winced. The previous day had been intense and if today was going to be the same then I’d have to make do with intravenous nourishment.

When I entered the office, I saw that Alitura was excited.

“Captain, we have found the key survivor,” said the agent, her eyes gleaming. “She was an engineer on The Damsel, and now she is signed on to the crew of the Heartbreak. She may be the only one who knows what really happened.” Continue reading “The Blood-Stained Stars: Quality of Mercy – Part VIII”

I took a seat and looked at Sister Alitura expectantly.

She composed herself and said, “We didn’t really learn anything interesting from Mr Azil, but we managed to locate the ship’s doctor. Can’t say that Sisters can take credit for it as we found her by way of ransom demand.” Continue reading “The Blood-Stained Stars: Quality of Mercy – Part VII”

Today I got an unusual call from Ozanero Voiras, Level 2 Security Agent.

“Vladimir, where are you?” she said by way of greeting.

“Um… I am here, in Tsuguwa,” I replied. “Why?”

“Erm… Can you do me a favour?” said the agent with an uncharacteristic hesitation. Continue reading “The Blood-Stained Stars: Quality of Mercy – Part I”
