Xenobiology: Professor A

Xenobiology: Professor A:
"'I could overlook him as long as you kept him off the records, but once he exists again we have to use him for valid research.'"

Xenobiology: Familiarity:
"Professors Boidae and Elapid decided to extend their visit to talk more with me about healing unfamiliar physiologies. There is no better place to talk than Marvin's."

Harvey 0.02: Chapter 27

Harvey 0.02: Chapter 27: "The Shigeru Miyamoto Business Park was a chrome-glass masterpiece. The Buildings tumbled atop one another like discarded Lego blocks, piling towards the sky in a seemingly haphazard manner. The grounds of the Business Park were grass covered and tree lined; a relaxing environment for the Park’s primarily tech oriented tenants who occasionally stepped out of their darkened cubby holes to experience the sunshine. In the centre of the park the soft curves of the Hideo Kojima Centre for Virtual Achievement stood in contrast to the blocky architecture of the rest of the buildings. The Kojima building was primarily a research facility sponsored by the companies in the Park, one of Japan’s top centers for theoretical gaming and O/SD development."

Xenobiology: Aquired Dominance

Xenobiology: Aquired Dominance:
"We would keep finding gazelles injured. Beaten, bruised, sometimes bitten, sometimes with patches of skin pulled away. It was some time before we caught Trinity in the act, and by then Trinity was on top. This was unexpected."

Xenobiology: Making People Angry

Xenobiology: Making People Angry:
"'You are going to go away.'
'I have to, there are some animals I need to learn about.'
'Are they hurt?'
'No, that's not it. We just want to know more about them.'
'I want you to stay, and Pogo to stay.'
'Well, Pogo will stay, but you won't be able to visit him anymore.'
With that, she scowled at me."

Xenobiology: Frontier Life

Xenobiology: Frontier Life:
"When Incident Colony was founded, it was at the outer edge of human exploration of the universe. As it grew and prospered, the wave of expansion continued on at nearly the speed of light. The star Kojera is 22 light years away, has a mineral rich ring system, and several dead planets perfect for terraforming.
Perfect, except for Kojera 6, where life has been discovered."

"In the hours between arriving at the hotel and his appointment at the clinic, Tallow managed to cram in a nap, some game practice, the exercise routine he’d learned to rehabilitate his shoulder, and a complete field stripping of his new gun. By the time Inis, Roger and Robbie showed up at Tallow’s door he knew his new weapon inside and out."

“These are your papers,” Roger said, handing Tallow the official U.N documents. The two men were sitting in Tallow’s hotel room waiting for the limo to arrive and take them to the airport, the television flashed with nonsensical images in the periphery of their vision.

Harvey 0.02: Chapter 24:
"Tallow soared above the advancing army. He perched low on Maggie’s armored back as he watched the vague formations of the untrained militias merge and divide as the corps of Regular soldiers cut through the rabble and took up positions on the front lines. The shifting crowd of armed fighters reminded him of old fashioned god games he’d played on laptop computers in his childhood. In the air Tallow was accompanied by scores of other dragon riders and hundreds of drifting dirigibles. With every mile the army covered the dark smoke left behind by Blade Seven’s horde grew closer as they burnt the land behind them."
