The writer gives life to a story, the reader keeps it alive.
The Guild Master’s General together with Omorose managed to get their ex haernyara inside the refugee naturalisation centre, to where they are greeted by hundreds of ex child soldiers, and their guardians.
After escaping from Floating Asylum Ship One, before its capture, Helga Ritter is deeply upset about the loss of her life’s work. As compensation, and under instruction from Lord Anderson, Helga delights in the transmutation of the remaining haernyara into Haernyarn, vampire-like creatures, loyal to Amanojuko masters. Retreating to one of the haernyara strongholds in Murmansk, she attempts to recover from her defeat.
The Guild Master’s General has spent months rehabilitating a haernyara, Petra Teslov, to enable her to be free from the Amanojuko war machine. (Happy Christmas)
The prisoners inside the asylum cages, some too weak to stand, others beaten and broken into shells of themselves, can hear whispers that something has changed inside the cells, can hear singing, and rattling of bars, hollers of ‘let us out!’ The cries of freedom, get louder and drown out the darkened despair of lives lost to brutality, to Lord Anderson’s war.
Lord Ichitumbu Jalhavi fought his way onto the highest deck of the ship, to where he can see only a few haernyara left in the sky around the vessel. He attempts to use his anti-gravity device to join them but right beside him, fighting what is left of the mutated haernyarn, is a very angry looking blond man, who seems to recognise him, despite Ichitumbu having no idea who he is. (Unbound Boxes will return on Wednesday 6th November 2024)
After watching President Allerton distributing a Bad Thing Box to those amongst the Knights of Amanojuko who had not yet launched this experiment onto their populations, Lord Anderson materialised into the conference, joined his knights to a roar of praise. It was his intention to share his blood with them, and make them Amanojuko, as a reward for unleashing the Bad Thing Boxes on their countries.
The Guild Masters General has been working on Project Petra for ten minutes, not enough time to show Petra Teslov a familiar set of prefabricated buildings, in the Academic District of Moscow where her mother lives. They had materialised in Vorontsovskiy Park, Gen disguised in a black wig under a Russian Ushanka hat, his dark sight enablers replaced by low profile clear glass. Petra’s hands had been tied, and he had covered them with a shawl. A scarf wrapped around the lower part of her face to conceal her tattoos.
Future Alexand, along with three versions of her grandfather, Xan, have battled through hordes of rabid haernyarn, ex socialites, scientists, and guards, corrupted by Lord Anderson’s promise of immortality.
Guild Master Heyem Merek and her mentor, Anum Anzeti, look down upon a floating globe, into a particular moment, to a battle which has already come to pass in their own time. They are accompanied by a courtroom of Guild Masters.
Eldenath watches from the ship’s deck, as the last of the haernyarn disappears from the sky, and from the decks. Her fellow warriors and an army of Kyo-ashita have defeated the threat and contained the outbreak.
Back on Civil Earth in 1277 FD Alexand and Katherine’s mansion is emptying of guests. The children have made their way to bed, Inajda and her ex haernyara friend and ward, Anya, sit by the pool, as the full moon reflects on the water.
Lord Anderson has planted bugs all over Floating Asylum Ship One, and listens in complete resignation, from the safety of his castle in Moscow, as Helga’s ship is being taken over by the enemy.
Future Alexand, tormented by memories of her torture in a different life, battles her way towards the Guard Tower, alongside three versions of her grandfather, Xan Medani, to emancipate the captive inmates onboard Floating Asylum Ship One. (For Nana.)
Each month, Filius Anderson walks along his wall, with a chosen sleeper agent. He has picked Ye-shin, the agent who attempted to capture Heyem Merek, and failed abysmally.
Posing as Kyo-ashita warriors, charged with the rehabilitation of the ex-Haernyara, Anya Ranyevzsky, Future Alexand, (Creya Johal) and her grandchildren, Eldenath and Zero, head towards the deck of the Kyuunansen.
Helga Ritter stands alone in the cloning laboratory, onboard her Floating Asylum ship. She had ordered three agents to capture Heyem Merek, so that she could conduct more intense experiments into the bioweapon’s technology in the Merek twin’s DNA.
Inajda and Alexand, disguised as socialites, Barbara and Susan Hendry, make their way to the lower decks of what Alexand discovers to be one of Lord Anderson’s Floating Asylum ships.
Alexand is tired, and cold, but her mother’s offer to show her the true extent of Lord Anderson’s campaign is far too tempting to turn down.
Lord Filius Anderson needs new blood to build his slave army, behind the walls inside Russia. The border countries have slowly given him access to their children, as the Knights of Amanojuko, politicians in positions of power, enable him to smuggle young children across the wall and break them into Haernyara.
After realising Heyem did not wish to be protected by her, Inajda set search for Alexand, so that she could fulfil Asenath Bomani’s wish for Colonel Merek to gain full intelligence to the Amanojuko agenda.
Future Alexand’s Guild Master has arranged for her alter ego, Creya Johal to have lodgings onboard the Kyuunansen. Future Alexand had to pretend not to care about Katherine, and they both reluctantly parted from each other, Kat returning to her laboratory and Alexand chaperoning her ward, Anya Ranyevzsky.
Anya’s memories have been triggered by her return to Moscow. She has been awarded two hours leave, by Helga Ritter, for presenting the American president with the Bad Thing Box. Fully aware that there is a tracking device in her wrist, she is compelled to visit her parent’s old home, to return to a place full of good memories.
Georges has barricaded himself into his mansion, after fearing retribution for funding the Katherine’s Bullet project. As he had predicted, his wife, Kavita had killed herself again, and he was alone, wandering his mansion, his writer full of weapons, in case Lord Anderson sent an assassin to break in.
Katherine sits awkwardly on the sofa accepting the hospitality of the family she has come to visit, seeking information about the climate on the outside of the ship. (This issue celebrates the vanquishing of a monster in our own time, on this day, 20th January 2021)
Ajeeta Kothari showed Katherine recordings of Alexand’s appeal, for a sponsor to fund the survivor’s recovery.
Lord Filius Anderson watches another of his Floating Asylum ships arrive at the docks of his castle in Krestovaya by the East Siberian Sea. His agents have abducted many deviants and enemy operatives, who had been cured by Katherine’s Bullet. The National Guard have chained the captives, who are forced to wait in a line, to board the ship.
Georges De Somme is aware that it won’t be long before Filius Anderson realises it is he who is funding the Katherine’s Bullet program. Georges has stopped attending functions and has barricaded himself into his mansion. There is a forcefield around the perimeter which prevents Amanojuko being able to teleport in. He is now trapped, along with his wife Kavita.
Helga Ritter returns to the Floating Asylum to give news to Lord Anderson about the death of Eric Mehmed.
Filius Anderson has placed a bug into Colonel Merek’s mechanical index finger and has been monitoring her conversations. He is pleasantly surprised to learn that her prodigal mother, Inajda Rekaya has re appeared, and is in fact an undercover enemy agent.
Grace O’Malley takes the Amanojuko agent back in time to Ireland, March 1574.
Grace O’Malley interrogates the prisoner captured by Antun Rekaya and brought to her by Inajda Rekaya, who waits in the observation bay, desperate to find out why her husband, Eric’s body was stolen by this man and his cronies. (Stay safe everyone, look after each other.)
Helga Ritter has conducted various tests on the body of Eric Mehmed, Alexand and Heyem Merek’s father, and has found something else.
Lord Filius Anderson has intensified the Amanojuko agenda, creating more positions of power for sleeper agents, and rich socialites funding his secret regime, guaranteeing them immortality leading up to his takeover in 4006.
Lord Anderson has instructed that in order to compensate for Katherine’s Bullet, and the failure of the virus to eradicate degenerates and rebels, more asylum ships have been commissioned, and set to sea. They are being filled with those previously infected by the virus, homosexuals, the mentally ill, the disabled and military rebels. He materialises on board his maiden ship, to consort with Helga Ritter.
Lord Filius Anderson has personally followed Alexand around, ever since she exposed the Amanojuko live in front of the world. He has camped out in the woods near Alexand’s house, and is currently observing her and her husband as they sit on a flat roof having dinner. He has planted bugs all over their cabin, and is listening into their conversation. He is waiting for the perfect opportunity to make Colonel Merek ‘disappear’, as she has caused great damage to the safety of his vision for a new world order.
Alexand has a plethora of questions she wants to ask Katherine’s father, but due to their pact, she continues to walk with him in his gardens.
Georges De Somme was so impressed by Alexand’s commitment to his daughter’s legacy, he felt compelled to meet with her. He walks down his marble staircase and without the aid of his guards, waits for her to knock at his mansion door.
From the safety of his castle, behind the walls entombing Russia, Lord Filius Anderson watches another live press report, from the Katherine’s Bullet news story. (This issue is dedicated to the truly brilliant Toni Morrison 1931-2019.)
Gianti Dincrind has travelled to Hong Kong University, to locate and monitor Colonel Merek, so that she can take a blood sample back to the Floating asylum ship for Helga Ritter to analyse.
Gianti Dincrind left the group of surviving inmates in darkness overnight, and returned in the morning to continue the experiment.
Helga Ritter is developing new biological weapons, on board the Floating Asylum ship. She receives a distress call from Lord Anderson.
Filius Anderson and Helga Ritter are conducting a social experiment into Juba Apfvarzian’s reaction to being observed.
Juba Apfvarzian moves around Mogadishu, to escape from some very suspicious people, who seem to be observing him from a distance. He has spent a few good months at peace, without feeling followed, has even met a girl, called Lucy, and they are living together. He performs street magic to make money. They’re happy, and everything is going well with his life, until he gets that feeling of being watched again.
Lord Anderson takes Lady Ritter to see how far his Floating Asylum project has advanced (whilst she was absent, conducting Project Ghost Ship.)
The Amanojuko are growing a fleet of asylum ships, floating laboratories, designed to conduct experiments on humans, in safety. Lord Anderson materialises on board one of these vessels, accompanied by his prodigy, Helga Ritter. She already has a laboratory on board, but he plans to reward her for rescuing him, by giving her a floating asylum of her very own.
After his release from Alexand Merek’s writer, Lord Anderson returned to the Amanojuko capital city, The Highest Ranks of Separation, to re-evaluate his agenda. He walks the art gallery, studying great works of art, which have been procured from the wealthy elites desperate to buy immortality. (Featured paintings are by John Martin: The Great Day of His Wrath 1851-53 and The Last Judgement 1853)
Jarad returned to Nan Ha and spent the next few days sitting beside Alex, as she lay unconscious, trying to think of ways to tell her about Lord Anderson’s escape. (Thank you to everyone who has read these stories this year. I now measure time through releasing them, so this year has disappeared very quickly. Happy Christmas and best wishes for 2018)
Jarad finally made it to the grounds of the hotel, in which Alexand hid Lord Anderson. He wades through the hot springs, towards the hotel entrance, but has a creepy feeling someone is following him, as he climbs out of the water and walks up the steps.
Helga Ritter materialises in the East of Yunnan, where most of the habitable villages are. She has a great task ahead of her, but her writer will aid in locating the elusive Lieutenant Colonel Merek, and more importantly save Lord Anderson from whatever diabolical fate has currently been forced upon him.
Jarad couldn’t stand waiting and watching Alexand get sicker. He has spent the past few hours on the train from Yunnan to the Guangxi Mountains. He is now walking towards, Longsheng, where the writer full of potential cures for Alex’s illness has been hidden. All he has to do is release the containers without releasing Lord Anderson. He has brought his toy writer along too, so that he can transfer them to it.
Helga Ritter has been listening to Heyem’s thoughts for the past couple of hours.
Helga Ritter, disguised as a Swedish tourist, called Elsa, waits for a very drunken Heyem Merek to fall asleep. She is beginning to suspect that Heyem has no idea where Lord Anderson is, but as Heyem begins to snore, softly; Helga digs her way into her uncensored thoughts.
Helga Ritter sits in a lesbian bar drinking wine with Heyem Merek, in an attempt to extract information from her, regarding the whereabouts of Lord Anderson.
Helga Ritter has spent the past two weeks searching the world for any trace of Lord Anderson. She has visited many places, starting in India, reading the minds of humans, who are close to Alexand Merek. Family and friends and army colleagues, even Field Marshal Abouna Panak had no though in his head about the whereabouts of Lord Anderson. Helga isn’t giving up. She has learnt that Heyem Merek is back teaching at Hong Kong University, and so dressed in cognito, Helga creeps into one of Heyem’s lectures, and sits quietly at the back of the room.
Jarad had helped Alexand to walk away from Lord Anderson’s tomb, and heavily disguised, the two of them caught the train home, towards the village they grew up in. After leaving the train, Alex is finding it harder to walk, but she is too stubborn to let Jarad carry her. The village is a mile away, and Jarad is getting nervous.
Helga Ritter, second in charge after Lord Anderson, watches from a distance, as the Amanojuko factory crumbles. A trail of survivors emerges, but they are mostly socialites. A few Amanojuko have not been buried, including the ringmaster and the pianist. She walks towards them, has to override Lord Anderson’s plans, as she senses he is gone. (Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this journey over the past seven years. The writer gives life to a story, but the reader keeps it alive.)
Jarad follows Alexand towards the ruins of an old hotel, as she attempts to hide the writer with Lord Anderson trapped inside.
Alex takes Jarad to a hideout deep in the Guangxi Mountains, in China, where she plans to hide the writer, containing Lord Filius Anderson.
Alexand and her group are being shown around the catacomb, which houses Project Ghost Ship. Alex is finding it increasingly difficult to remain objective.
Ichitumbu Jalhavi was one of the first Amanojuko. He walks the grounds of the Lowest Ranks of Separation looking for something beautiful to paint.
Alex follows the Amanojuko scientists into their laboratory, hoping she will discover the cure inside.
Lord Filius Anderson is keeping close tracks on the enigma, Juba Apfvarzian. There is something in the boy’s blood, which allows him immunity to the catalyst, and Lord Anderson needs to know what this is.
Heyem is escorted through the gates of the factory, along with the others.
Ajeeta Kothari is on the run. She fled her son’s funeral for the mountains of Afghanistan. She has no allies, and a lot of enemies. She failed in her attempt to get Katherine De Somme to believe that her affiliation had changed. Her only hope of survival is to leave her life behind, and carry on running from the Amanojuko.
Doctor Ajeeta Kotahri is shown around the Amanojuko fortress, by Helga Ritter.
Ajeeta Kothari is lead out of the human storage chamber into an anti chamber.
Ajeeta Kothari uses her writer to travel to her husband’s house. She sits beside her son’s bed, staring at his semi lifeless body, imagining him well again.
Ajeeta Kothari waited for Katherine to retire from her research for the evening, and is alone in the laboratory sick bay, with only the dying patients to overhear her. She takes out her writer and transmits a signal to her employer.
Gianti Dincrind is a research scientist, from a wealthy family, and has been exposed to the forthcoming agenda to create a new world order. She has waited her turn amongst other socialites, and is now sitting in front of the great man himself. Lord Filius Anderson. Lord Anderson is in charge of hand picking the new race in preparation for the Amanojuko takeover in 4006.
Helga Ritter and her team of scientists have been given a new batch of test subjects to inject with ‘Plague,’ (In an attempt to spread panic and paranoia throughout the world. In preparation for the Amanojuko takeover) Juba Apfvarzian is amongst the test subjects who have been injected, but something is not quite right about him, and Helga Ritter is unsettled.
