Shining Sky Rigel had known something had gone wrong. The whole trip home he had worried that he was to blame. Now back on Miranda he was sure of it.Doctor Xade had been confined to their lab, patched into Rigel’s home network. He knew the toll that interfacing with him long-term would take on them, but Comandante Carcanet had assured Rigel that the Doctor needed more time to “acclimate” to interfacing.Rigel was fairly sure that was not necessary, but the Co...2020-04-1600 minMichael Collins House PodcastMichael Collins House PodcastThe IRA Intelligence WarDr. John Borgonovo discusses the IRA Intelligence war in the Irish War of Independence through the lens of Florence O'Donoghue, Intelligence officer of the Cork 1st Brigade and Director of Intelligence Michael Collins.2020-04-041h 03Play By PodcastPlay By PodcastTerritory Nouveau 11: Face AdversityVettel had drawn sentry duty again. He always hated guard details. He would just end up standing there for four hours, boring himself half to death. At least the rotating patrols got to move around a little. Got to pilot an anchor, like he’d signed up to. Got to see the sights, if in fact there were any sights to see on this godforsaken rock.Miranda was always so damn bleak. Year round it was always the same grey flatland, the same blue-grey sky, surrounded by the same awful, choking fog.

In a backwards kind of way, anyway. In the circles of smugglers, runners, spys, and info brokers, the sentiment is a little different.The guilty should never return. Never hit the same spot, attack the same target, never be in the same place, never work with t...2020-03-1600 minPlay By PodcastPlay By PodcastTerritory Nouveau 09: Good FriendsAfter the dust up with that ship of freelancers and that Gentryman from the Union, Commandant Carcanet was happy to turn his attention to more important matters. The expeditionaries from Charon would be returning soon, and the data they had transmitted ahead needed assessment.All the combat data from each anchor in the lance was in the process of being poured over by Jovian intelligence, but Carcanet had managed to save the very best for himself. The new anchor. The experimental one. He’d even studied Xade’s ridiculous notes so he could better understand the new tele...2020-03-0100 minPlay By PodcastPlay By PodcastTerritory Nouveau 08: Freeholds Attack!They left us here to die, way back when.The Solar Union. The moons that would become the Commonwealth.In the beginning they’d taken anyone, the destitute, the hungry, the desperate. Anyone willing to sign their life away, contract themselves to a life of servitude, and take a one-way flight to the edge of the Territory.A life of hard work for a percentage shaved off interest on their relocation fees. Remainder passed to the next generation. Company scrip for the company store. Things only got worse as time went on.2020-02-1500 minPlay By PodcastPlay By PodcastMoments and MacawsLinwood was getting on in years, surely. He had seen generations of folks come and go from the Freeholds in his time as a Dockmaster. Whether they came in from the Venusian plains, or the atolls of Ganymede, or were born and raised in the Freeholds, he never forgot a one of them.He took a certain pride in that. It gave him an impetus, a drive, a fierceness to protect the folks attached to those names.Young Ambrose had not been home to Charon in a long, long while.

A strange and enigmatic planetoid where, it is said, the machinations of the Commonwealth’s war machine are brought to life.Since the outset of the First Jovian War, it has been rumored and propagandized within the Rectified Solar Union that Miranda was home to the Jovian miltary’s intelligence and scientific initiatives. The stories of cloak-and-dagger operations and horrific experiments taking place on the the Mirandan surface prevailed well beyond the war, even among the Gentry. Regrettably, this has made...2020-01-1600 minPlay By PodcastPlay By PodcastCramped QuartersJust outside of Jupiter’s gravitational pull, beyond the boundaries of Europa, Ganymede, Callista, and Io sits a massive ship graveyard. A vast field of decommissioned and destroyed debris placed there specifically as to not be an eyesore upon House Kennet’s glorious Commonwealth. The ships moored there passed on their names and salvagable parts to more worthy vessels long ago, and the graveyard is unknown to most folk in the Commonwealth, but some life does still lurk within the oft overlooked quadrant.Scoundrels, killers, and cutthroats of all stripes prowl the area, hiding among the...2020-01-0100 minPlay By PodcastPlay By PodcastTerritory Nouveau 04: What I Think is BestIn the face of Cydonia’s looming destruction the old worries of Weldon Woldt seemed far away and altogether insignificant. Money, work, comfort, all that mattered now was that next, forward step. Never quite escaping the shadow of the Amano capital ship that loomed large overhead, never quite out of earshot of the thumping boom of artillery, or the mechanical whirring of distant anchors.He’d run, and run, and run until he’d entered the Halation square, the shelter a generous sprint across the concourse.

Ambrose Belgard, on the other hand, was not. He sat alone on the quiet, dark bridge, slumped in his chair staring out onto the bright red sphere of Mars below him. The mesas, the mountain faces, the green expanses of ocean. And the Amano capital ships hovering just in low orbit above it all, their dropships still descending. The other houses hadn’t mobilized their forces yet. That was worrisome. At this rate the Amanos would be ready for them when they did manage to...2019-12-0100 minPlay By PodcastPlay By PodcastTerritory Nouveau 02: Human Squabbles“The Wingard’s Anchor assembly plant in the Cydonian sector went dark a few days ago. House Wingard is furious, obviously.Last transmission from security was a run-of-the-mill all hands call for the night shift.After that, nothing.No one in, no one out, not even the factory techs. Anything that gets close to the place in plain view either gets shot down or blown up by something on-site. Something that hits very, very hard.Most likely a number of Anchors rolled the factory overnight, though no demands have been made and...2019-11-1600 minPlay By PodcastPlay By PodcastTerritory Nouveau 01: The State of Things“I was fifteen years old, the last time the Union tried to take back the Freeholds. A ‘fact of life’ my mother told me. Happens periodically. Been happening forever, shit. And we’ve pushed them back every time, them and Kennet’s damned Commonwealth. Every time, for centuries. Like clockwork.Let’s look at the state of things, folks. Our forebearers watched the Solar Union collapse. Saw it reborn as the ghoulish bastard-thing it is now. Saw the Jovian’s close ranks. And even apart, they still come after us. They go out of their way to cast hell on o...2019-11-0100 minPlay By PodcastPlay By PodcastThe Interdependency Shuffle 26:The Last Days, The Blue SkyTo think, no one had ever seen a blue sky before…In those days, the last days of what was the Interdependency, of what was Shard, we stood defiantly against our own end.Shoulder to shoulder, as ever in the Interdependency. Staring down the inevitable. Staring down the end. The Miasma. That once dormant sentient mist who had snuffed out all the life that came before us. Across Shard our communities, our friends, our families were safeguarded away, should we fail in this our last-ditch effort to secure all our futures.And in th...2019-09-2200 minPlay By PodcastPlay By PodcastThe Interdependency Shuffle 25: The First UniversityImagine, if you will, a deck of playing cards.The top card of the deck, we will say, represents this tangible world of ours. The card immediately below that, I hypothesize, represents the intangible plane from where all eldritch ability is drawn.A plane of leyline energy. An astral plane. Something I call the Shuffle.My research at the First University has focused heavily on the Shuffle, on traversing the barrier weaved between the planes, interfacing with leyline energy, and drawing power from the Shuffle itself in a tangible, physical form.

He had been of two minds for some time now, but the feeling still left him uneasy.Everything came with a kind of duality: Panic and placid calm, fight and flight overlapping into inaction, familiarity and otherness. He stood tall before them in the clearing, his every emotion, his every action delayed or belaid by the will of another. His inner monologue now more than ever a dialogue.It was all his fault.

She hoped she would still prove an adequate host. She could not afford to be inhospitable at a time like this.Not with so much on the line.She did not often ask her subjects to make their way to this place, to her home. Often simply entering the Miasma under her influence was enough. But that influence could only reach so far outside without straining her, and she needed to be at her full potential for her next guest.A very special boy...2019-07-1500 minPlay By PodcastPlay By PodcastThe Interdependency Shuffle 21: To the FrontGeneral Aspect Abell stared out from the battlements atop the walls of Lockstock, peering down onto the clearing below.Their battlefield. The Front.800 feet of open ground that separated the folk-at-arms of Lockstock from the toxic boundary of the Miasma. Ground pocked with bloodstains, acid scars, and craters of cool molten metal. Ground the scouts had told them they were losing slowly but surely by the day.Aspect was exhausted. They were sure that all of them were.

Her skills didn’t really suit the place. She was no fighter, no grand strategic mind.But to her credit Suri was getting used to it.Getting used to sleeping in the quieter alleys and keeping to herself in the daytime. Getting used to switching aliases with what acquaintances she had made. Getting used to hiding her face in public, keeping her head low, and avoiding eye contact in case someone might recognize her.Suri the Engineer from...2019-06-1500 minPlay By PodcastPlay By PodcastThe Interdependency Shuffle 19: DecompressionThey had been in worse situations, hadn’t they?

Worse for wear? Sure, but never anything like this. Not even Glasstown was like this.He was there in the Bazaar, standing next to Coleraine of all people.
