The Shit-town Saga: Midnight Rider part 2 Michael sat at his desk, attempting to contact potential new clients and trying not to look at the bills laying in front of him. “We really like the work you did last time,” a former client told him, “But we’re not in the market for redesigns.” “That’s perfectly understandable. Let me know if you change your mind,” Michael … Continue reading AP Productions: The Cavalier #24

This Time, We Have a Plan Shujai and Intrepid landed at the hillside where Hyperion’s Light was alighted after having been brought online. On the ground, Ryan Bennings was running diagnostics on the ship with a set of holographic screens floating in front of him while the rest of the team waited nearby. “Good news first,” he told Intrepid and Shujai as they approached, never … Continue reading AP Productions: The Commission #5

Lock-Out Shujai’s arms were outstretched as emerald beams of bio-energy exploded from his palms, deflecting off the field of energy surrounding the ship. Once he exhausted himself, he stopped and took a breath. Hyperion’s Light had no scratch. “I can’t get through the forcefield,” Shujai explained, “This ship was well crafted.” “I should know,” Ryan boasted, “I’ve done maintenance on it over the years.” “Now … Continue reading AP Productions: The Commision #4

Ghost in the Machine Rex Robinson placed his hands on his hips, his famous smile never fading, “What are you waiting for, friends? There’s some strange things afoot. I’ll explain on the way.” “Sure you will,” Ryan Bennings quickly pulled his energy pistol and fired a shot, blasting a hole through Rex’s forehead.

Try Outs Ryan Bennings’ house was still being repaired after the Resurgence so it wasn’t appropriate to hold the meeting there. He still had full access to Hyperion’s Light, however and opted to use it; flying around in Rex Robinson’s ship in light of recent events might have been tone deaf but as Ryan put it, “The spaceship is really badass.” For this meeting, he … Continue reading AP Productions: The Commission #1

Best Laid Plans Ryan inhaled and leaned back in his chair, “So let’s see, when the aliens attacked, I learned that Rex Robinson, my own mentor and father figure was the cause of it, revealing himself to be a deeply troubled man, far more neurotic than anyone realized. Additionally, in order to stop said alien invasion, I agreed to offer him up to them. While … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #11

Aftermath Michael sat across from Rex Robinson at a bar while the entire city burned just outside the window. Rex took a look at the flames rising to the heavens and turned to Michael with a smile, “Heating up out there, huh?,” then he took a sip from the tall glass of milk in front of him. “I should’ve been here,” Michael said plainly as … Continue reading AP Productions: Cavalier #22

Repercussions Wally and Kim wearily opened the door to their apartment. The Resurgence had been over for days but the local government advised civilians to stay in the bunkers for one week in case of further dangers and many complied. For them, it was a bit too much and they simply wanted to go home and sleep in their own beds. “You’re back!,” Astra shouted … Continue reading AP Productions: Astra Machina #11

Za Nashu Druzhbu Once again, Agent Crown found himself caught in a death trap, surrounded by Russian terrorists; a common enough occurrence that he was nonplussed towards the ordeal. Of course, being Agent Crown meant that one had to have nerves of steel regardless of how often they were placed in a death trap. The fall of the USSR was ushered in shortly after the … Continue reading AP Productions: Badges #13

Finale Dante Greer woke up when he found it difficult to breathe, the smell of smoke hanging heavily in the air. “Yo, Mom! Dad!,” he called out as he got out of bed, “We got a fire!” When he rounded the corner, he pounded loudly on his sister’s room, “Hey Sis, ya gotta get up.
