Unbound Boxes Limping Gods: Disconnected Stories: Issue # 653: Shadows Part 5

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.

Unbound Boxes Limping Gods: Disconnected Stories: Issue # 252: Anesidor Sumian Part 2

This future version of Anesidor Sumian has lived for hundreds of years. She is the creator of the writer, which the resistance use to stay alive. She has the ability to transport matter from one place to another, to store it inside a box, keeping it safe, like she had dreamed of as a child. She has to maintain time’s continuity, to ensure that her world doesn’t crumble. Unfortunately Inajda Rekaya is being rather uncooperative. (This issue is dedicated to my Mum, whose birthday it is today, and who is always there for me, when I need her, just like Mary Poppins, but a lot less scary.)

Helga Ritter has been working secretly on project ‘Ghost ship’ in mid Russia, in a level deep below the earth. (Project Ghost Ship is the name for the catalyst, which is causing Katherine’s cells to break down) Thousands of human specimens from all over the world have been collected for experimentation, and brought to this complex unconscious, either to be infected with the catalyst or to be sent to one of the many Floating Asylum ships, (depending on how disposable or unwittingly useful these resistance members are.) Some of the ‘experiments’ are ordinary members of the public, chosen at random to instil fear of ‘plague’ in the general population, but others have been picked for deliberate elimination as they pose a threat to Project Amanojuko Immortalis.
