• Foreword

    I’m slowly consolidating the stuff at https://toyhou.se/Sudrien/literatures and https://archiveofourown.org/users/a_b_b_e here. I think.https://toyhou.se/Sudrien/characters has some pictures of OCs, mostly commissioned. Continue reading

  • “Orthogonal… Diagonalizer” “It a sphere in a tube.” “it’s symptomatic of a non-space faring species, I think.” “Ok, get it out.” “Humans have, for lack of a better term, a 3.1 dimensional system. Length, time, width, height. They usually even get that order wrong, because of how they learn it. Length, Width, Height, Time. Width… Continue reading

  • The Pathlayer Short Jump Drive

    Orthogonal measuring systems aren’t invalid. Width, Length, Depth, progression of time… 3.1D is not USELESS. But Orthogonal measure s only really useful under a incredibly small frame, in terms of… anything. It doesn’t really make sense past the horizon. It doesn’t really make sense on the quantum level. One that has been raisd with it… Continue reading

  • Motive

    The mandated minimum reintegration distance from a solar mass is 50 solar diameters, as an edict of the Plyd. The current doctrine of the Goos is to target 80 SD for arrival in a solar system, formally referred to as Site 1. Reintegration is the process of exiting MN speeds. At MN speeds, radiation can… Continue reading

  • Strata

    So Human, us Goos, Hrutxcan, N’mob, even Ouinhed – these are samples of Hot Carbon species. Liquid water. Some compatibility in foods, some compatibility in poisons, no guarantees. There are also cold carbon species. Liquid methane temperatures. Good trading partners, very suspicious if you mention altering contracts. But what, your year on planet Saturn is… Continue reading

  • Infrastructure

    According to current protocol, there are up to 5 designated sites. Site one is the cleared area at solar north… The counterclockwise pole, 80 (b+) solar diameters distance. plyd standards* say this is where all visiting craft should first arrive in a solar system. The distance provides more than sufficient space for cordon from MN… Continue reading

  • Impressions

    Taran held up a 1 rupee coin, examining the track. The spot had to be flat enough to keep the coin in place, but curved enough to make full contact.It didn’t really matter where he had got the coin, did it?Samyuel kept watch. The train would not sneak up on them, but adults might. Jyoti’s… Continue reading

  • Velocipede

    The ground, the tables, the umbrellas, were styled after a “french” cafe. Meena still had some trouble placing where France was in the world – across an ocean-river from where the Queen lived – As England was an Island similar to Ceylon. Well, more countries to it – or at least had the will to… Continue reading

  • Indicative of Concern

    “I got a letter from the school” “They can’t take your diploma back. That’s illegal. No matter how little you use it.” Usha’s response was quick in a way that suggested the though had been on her mind. “Hew heu. No. Apparently they don’t have the phone number or file, not that it would have… Continue reading

  • ok the thought gag comic maybe? Observing a poster “unlock you splits” woman, heavy enough to be told she shouild lose weight (is anything but the thinnest of sticks), exhausted from workout, goes in to sign up, putting in her card to pay. Instructor walks around and, saying its a quick feasibility check, stchs somting… Continue reading

  • Plyd, with Disclosure

    Approximately 65 quintillion (base 9+) hydrogen spin-flip cycles before the current period, a stellar nova occurred in a region local to the goo alien’s home system. While goo alien biology was especially susceptible to this bombardment, this was a devastating event for all species in range without the knowledge to prepare for it. Vessels in… Continue reading
