| Meet the Penitent…
Brady Vasilyev paused plowing to wipe beads of sweat from his forehead. He glanced up at the planet’s twin suns. Looked like it was going to be another hot day; he’d have to redouble his efforts to finish the plowing and back to the farmstead in time. He reflexively scanned the horizon, a practice carried over from his days in the interstellar infantry. A distant flock of birds drew his attention by deciding to take wing at that moment. They weren’t a threat. If anything, he was the only threat for kilometers around. His mind traveled back unbidden to Pondo, and that terrible day that Brady credited with changing him forever and that eventually led him to this world, at this time, to seek redemption…

| Meet Fortune’s Fool…
“Everybody on the floor! NOW!”
Eirik Steed turned at the shouted command. Three masked men — two brandishing revolvers, and another holding a submachine gun — had burst into the G-bank. A guard gambled he could draw a bead on the attackers – and was ripped to pieces by a burst from the SMG.
“I told you to get on the floor, punk!” one of the criminals shouted at Eirik, leveling his weapon. Eirik surprised everyone by returning a loud and defiant “No!”
The robber pulled the trigger. Twice. Nothing happened. He turned the weapon sideways to look incredulously at it, and it immediately went off, the bullet ending his SMG-wielding partner with a perfect shot to the tem...

“Hi, Lulu!”
Liuxiang Liu stopped her nanotorch and allowed herself a silent sigh before forcing herself to acknowledge the intern and his imprudent greeting. She carefully placed the nanotorch down on the workbench beside the equipment that she’d now be delayed in repairing and gave the young man far more attention than he deserved.
She fixed the intern with an arctic stare. He knew what that look meant.
“I’m sorry…Liuxiang.”
The stare didn’t waver.
“Miss Liu?”
She finally thawed her gaze. “You’re tardy, Ron. Punctuality is the hallmark of good work, wouldn’t you agree?”
“Y-yes, Miss Liu,” Ron stammered.
She picked up the nanotorch. “I’ll thank you to get to...

| Meet the Avenging Angel...
Shireel’s friends could do little but stand by and comfort her as she sobbed watching Herman Wasserberg smilingly receive a crowd of well-wishers. The holofilm executive had just won the court case she had brought against him; two agonizing years of pre-trial motions, testimonies, shifting alliances, cross-examinations, repeated journeys into her own personal hell, and public scorn had finally come down to a “not guilty” verdict for him, and unending mental torment for her.
Wasserberg reached the door of a grav limo that had glided silently up for him. He turned momentarily to wave one last time at the crowd just as his head exploded in a cloud of reddish mist. Chaos quickly ensued. Shireel’s friends hustled her back ...

| Meet the Rogue Agent…
Pasqualina placed the last of the charges. The gaggle of Whitecoats was still talking jargon, and none of the tanks had been activated yet. With luck, she could send another biofac straight to hell.
Before leaving, she peered over the large conduit at the group. Wyatt wasn’t there, but she recognized Wilbanks from the Agency’s R&D division. If she could take him out along with the biofac, it would be a big blow against the plot she had worked so long against.
Suddenly, something clattered behind her. Her head snapped around at the sound. The charge! The molecular glue hadn’t set right and the device had fallen to the floor.
“Hey! You there!” one of the Whitecoats shouted. Mouthing a curse...

Pierre stuck his head out of the shuttle hatch and breathed in the air of the alien planet. A warm, gentle breeze wafted a faint scent of…berries? A bloated orange sun hung in a near-cloudless sky, and the weather on this world was warm — unlike the last one, with its thirty-centimeter snowdrifts.
A gruff alien voice from behind prodded him through the hatch. Making his way down the portable stairs onto the starport landing pad, he consulted his handcomp for directions to the hostel. The device was no help; apparently, it hadn’t updated yet. He decided to ask directions of one of the natives and selected a two-meter tall fellow in what seemed to be a uniform.
“Excusez-moi monsieur,” he started, then sto...

“Lookit those clouds! Ya sure about this, kid?”
“Sunday” Su didn’t immediately answer the grizzled old port master’s question. A storm front was moving in from the west; he’d have precious little time to prepare before getting started on the latest leg of his search.
“Yeah. I’m sure,” he answered. “What’s the nearest town?”
“That’d be Bozath; ten klicks that-a-way. But from the look’a those clouds, kid, you’re better off stayin’ here at the port awhile.”
Sunday studied the clouds for a moment. It looked like it would be a rough storm – perfect cover for getting close to his Enemy. Maybe even finish...

2045 hours. Licia knew she had to hurry if she were going to get to Gully’s before he closed. The rain added to the nighttime gloom. Splashing through puddles made more noise than she liked. If she hurried, she could just catch Gully before he closed up for the night, and she could fence the necklace she lifted from that penthouse.
Only one more alley. But then Licia stopped short. Three men were hanging around the opposite end of the alley. She recognized two of them: two of her old associates who’d love to collect the reward the cops have on her.
Why now? Gully’s probably fetching his keys and reaching for the light switch right now! The group finally moved on, laughing at a joke one of them had told, bu...

We couldn’t tell what the Colonel and the Arixan were talking about. Judging by their wild gesturing, it wasn’t good. I glanced around the table. Vajra was uncharacteristically quiet, staring down into her drink with both hands as she stared down into it. Berlin sipped his kaff with a worried look on his face. I didn’t try to fathom what was running through their minds. Probably, like mine, it was nothing good.
The Arixan left and the Colonel made his way back to our table, muttering curses under his breath. He shook his head and took a long swallow of his drink before meeting our questioning gazes.
“The good news is, there’s someone who knows where that missing cargo is,” he started. Then he shuddered &mdash...

“Love slides along my body, beneath my clothes and down to the floor…”
Xan began his power ballad, waiting for the response he knew singing this song would generate.
“It's warm, somehow it feels kind of nice…”
Sure enough, the audience began to trigger their glowbes. Floating just above each concertgoer’s head and filling the space around them with a soft, shimmering light, they faded on as he built the song’s tempo. As the glowbes lit up more of the stadium, Xan let his eyes wander about the edges of the crowd. There! Off to the right, almost in the shadows. That same squat, balding man that seemed to be at each concert. Someone who probably wouldn’t be caught dead at a Xan Armanis concert unless he had an ulterior motive. Xan d...
