Overnight the weather had returned to the seasonal norm, catching the last remnants of the downpour and holding them fast as icicles hanging off gutters and dazzling crystal sculptures on the small square windows. The open door let the first of the winter sneak in to bite at their ankles. #vss365

Only twisted, broken and useless wreckage remained. The Enemy didn’t #linger, nor did they leave anything that they could use. Not even bodies. If only they could find out more about them, learn their tech, examine corpses, the Alliance could do something, anything, to even the odds. #vss365

"Suit, what is that body of water ahead?" "Lake Schultz. Avoid at all costs. Hostile to all life, except the #feral version of the water species of the Blort." "Poisonous?" "Negative. Full of rage and hate." "The lake is sentient?" "Affirmative. And by all accounts, an asshole." #vss365

"They're plotting to take over the empire and they don't even have the honour to do it openly." "Surely not." Anni looked at Fordel for support. "Aren't we reading too much into the actions of one patrol officer?" he drawled, as if the matter was all too boring. #WIPSnips

The Gindullan physician's writing meant nothing to her. She could decipher the letters, but the words must be in his own language. Ro sat on the bed. To have risked so much for nothing. #WIPSnips
