"Hey, grandmother, what do you call that grey stuff in the pot there?" "Breakfast." "Fair enough. Give me a bowl then." "Ya good for it?" "Don't I look it?" I asked with as much righteous indignation I could have mustered in the condition I wa...

Easy, easy, believers. It is me. Uh, hello, Deacon. Any activity on the opposite ridgeline? None, sir, since they reinforced their positions yesterday. Have you had breakfast? Not yet, sir--but we are not hungry! Has your Squad Leader come b...

Where'd ya get this? I haven't seen any since we started the retreat. Mind your spirit and the flesh will be provided with all that it requires. That's blasphemy to use the scriptures like that. If the Squad Leader heard ya, he'd gut ya. Who ...

Gimme a toke! Get down here then so they won't see the flame. Ach, no one can see anything in this drizzle. I'm keeping watch per orders! You may want to tempt God, but I will not. All right, move over and make some room. There's not much roo...

32. Difficult Decisions - in EVE Fiction [original thread]
Now, the fantasy that has resurfaced and is making the rounds of the outposts still in contact is that the corporation has betrayed us all along--that our current situation is all part of the Plan formulated back at headquarters long before the st...

At that point we understood that for all we knew--for all we know--we are the only people alive on this side of the Gate--or on the other side for that matter. It was at this time that our new director, Doctor Varma introduced a plan to build a sh...
