The Ember Lights

Fort Haven Atrium There was no blood here only scattered papers and even a shoe laying on the floor, the atrium was a large round room with a rectangular planta in the centre with a round glass dome that was on the roof of the building to allow light to illuminate the room. Kara saw the information centre which would have access to the some of the outpost’s systems, she came around the counter and tapped at the holographic interface “There must be a directory to find the O-SEC sector” she swiped through the icons on the screen and brought up a map of the station and found the location of one of the security sectors, she nodded and looked to Paulson “You’re right, it’s not far” she looked to the portable holographic computer that was around her wrist but couldn’t see a connection port “Dammit I could have downloaded the map but there’s no adaptor” Kay replied “If we can find the control room then we can access the system fully from there, I’ll be able to guide you to the transmission to...

  Planet: Theta 295 Vera Class Dropship [Descending Planet Side] The dropship shuddered violently as it began it’s fall through the planet’s atmosphere, Kara even though she was jostling about strapped to her seat, the lighting turned red and the sound of metal groaning and banging from the heat she felt calm and relaxed, this was something she had done hundreds of times on different planets. Although Theta 295 was not to be taken likely, it was a brutal place of jagged slanted peaks, battering winds and of course the highly acid rain all this was explained to her before she left Earth, why the hell they built a colony here Kara never knew. But now she had been brought in due to be part of the new security detail after an incident occurred with one of the previous O-SEC officers, one of the pilots called back from the cockpit to the passenger cabin in a Southern American accent “We’ll be stabilising soon, won’t be long until we reach Fort Haven!” Kara nodded as she glanced to the o...

P lanet: Theta 295 ‘Fort Haven’ Research Outpost The planet which had been designated Theta 295 was on the outer reaches of the galaxy in a region that was newly discovered over seven years ago, it took four years to build the research outpost which was named ‘Fort Haven’. The outpost was placed there to study the planet and learn everything they could about it they even set up a massive drilling platform to mine the deep into the ground for ore and rock samples. Oliver Cartwright was Fort Haven’s director he stood on one of the viewing platforms looking out to the massive circular hole that had been carved out of the ground going down over a mile into illuminated darkness, around the circumference of the quarry vehicles and diggers worked tirelessly along with the workers scurrying around like ants. Cartwright turned his gaze up to the drilling platform, several long square columns held up the round platform where the drill operators worked high above the quarry, it also acted as prot...

Planet: Earth New Orleans, Louisiana United States of America Inspector Legrasse was at the station standing in front of the task force that he had assembled for the mission that lay ahead he spoke firmly “Right for those that may not know the situation, we have been receiving numerous reports over the last several weeks of women and children that have gone missing from numerous families in the bayou area outside the city, these families and other locals have stated that they have been hearing voices chanting deep from the swamp” he gestured to the map then looked back to the team “Other the course of this investigation bodies have been discovered all of them severely mutilated” the images appeared on a holographic display several of the officers recoiled slightly, one of them spoke “Holy Christ! Who would fucking do such a thing?” Legrasse replied “Early investigations had us believe we had a serial killer on the loose, but the sheer number now that have been found dead and those that...
