    • Chippin’ In Cover
      by spirapira I never figured myself as one of the girls in my school to take off her clothes for a man more than two times her age; I just thought that was more something Emma might do, considering she was both a model and a psychopath. Although, to be honest, I was wearing a robe and completely covered, presently, when the clinic's tech arrived for my consultation. I didn't think he was considered a doctor, per se, but he seemed a lot more knowledgeable about biology than anyone called a clinic technician in Brockton…
    • The Tyger Has Claws, But Does that Make it a Pussy-cat? Cover
      by spirapira Walking through my floor of the Megabuilding was a bit odd. It was mainly set up with small residences, like my own. However, there were a number of small businesses as well. It was surreal, and I felt like I was living through that old Earth Aleph film Blade Runner. There was even a noodle stand like what I recalled in the film; the only exception was you couldn't sit there in the rain and eat your noodles, obviously.It was a similar experience purchasing the noodles to what she remembered in the movie,…
    • A Moth’s Wings and a Tyger’s Claws Cover
      by spirapira (POV: Taylor that originated from CP2077 universe)Taylor didn't realise it, but the fact that she was sleeping when the swap took place meant she got a much more significant chunk of her alternate's memories than the other girl had. She was also unaware of the fact that a giant crystalline computer was inspecting the process of transfer very carefully, which ensured that it settled upon her brain, much as it began to do to her doppelganger before they were transposed.She fell onto the flat linoleum floor…
    • If She Was The Butterfly, am I Just The Moth? Cover
      by spirapira I thought I would die inside that locker, and I thought for a while that I did, but that couldn't have been what happened. I had been trapped in there for hours, screaming myself hoarse... school had already let out, and I was just hoping a janitor might find me. It was a futile hope after none of my fellow students, and I was pretty sure even teachers ever helped me, but I wasn't going to give the Trio the satisfaction of murdering me without even trying to save myself. Rage, rage against the dying of the…
    • Min-maxxing Cover
      by spirapira I received a pleasant mental ding of three skill increases as I finished reciting a Litany Against Invidious Fragmentation upon the cogitator that I was performing maintenance upon, overseen by the watchful sensors of Tau Alpha-1000. Increasing three skills at once was almost unheard of, but I suppose I was using all of them simultaneously. The latter skill was an interesting one, and I was kind of curious why I hadn't really gotten an equivalent version from the Ecclesiarchy, but I supposed despite…
    • Rho Epsilon-5 Cover
      by spirapira Our plans for immediate adventure and the rescue of our big sister were dashed as soon as we realised that Mrs Robbins was still here, along with our baby brothers—peering out of the window of our house. That made sense, and we each shared a sheepish look with each other when we collectively forgot that they existed. Well, sometimes Mrs Robbins would take them with her when she went to the church, but we really should have expected them to be near our mom. We each nodded, silently agreeing to never…
    • Wait… The God-Emperor is REAL??? Cover
      by spirapira The last three months before the neo-fèis, or festival of the New Year, was something akin to torture for me. I received twenty-six additional levels in the Pain Tolerance skill, which both brought me past the level thirty threshold and reduced my total sensation of pain by twenty-seven per cent. So, while it was definitely torturous, it was torture that provided benefits, at least. I also gained the Self-Discipline skill, and three levels during this time period. The new "pain information" sense was…
    • The light of the Astronomonom Cover
      by spirapira There were more words in front of my face when I came to the carriage with my head in my mom's lap, with everyone looking down at me concerned, but for now, I ignored them. "Piper, are you okay? Girl, you need to listen. It's not a wonder why you fainted, seeing that witch go crazy and then your father having to shoot her," my mom said, slight disapproval in her voice, although I thought it was mainly concern. Fainted? Yes, let's go with that for now rather than... whatever actually happened. Because…
    • Only Minor Heresy Cover
      by spirapira Zephyrion Neurosage did not glance up from his work when one of his assistants entered the room. He was in the midst of examining the genetic coding of a slightly interesting marsupial that was native to the northern continent. Instead, he asked, shifting between Low Gothic and the lingua technis between words, "What is your purpose today? If you suggest the deadline for the activation of the atmospheric processor will be delayed again, then you will serve the Omnissiah as servitor." He had been…
    • Red Letter Day Cover
      by spirapira Fidelius opened his sightless eyes in surprise. He had been getting ready for bed when he felt a stirring in the Immaterium on the planet's surface below. As an Astropath in service of the Planetary Governor of Orkney IV, his main duties were, of course, the transmission and reception of important messages. However, an important secondary duty of all Astropaths, especially important on Orkney, was to always be on the lookout, pun intended, for unsanctioned psykers. He had felt something so far below.…
