Botany Bay : Good Business Is Where You Find It. With a pulse of light, the Persephone. Punched its way out of slipspace. The ship shook with the change in speed, hurtling forwards and banking right. In the cockpit, the instruments flickered with each shudder as the crew, Seren Undercroft and Elena Galewind fought the controls to regain command. Amid a flurry of flashing lights and klaxons, they eventually regained command of the the ship, easing it onto an even keel and bringing it to a controllable spe...

Out of the frying pan.and into politics". Captain, this really can't go on.". Seren lifted her head from the basin where moments earlier she'd been revisiting the night before in the worst possible way. "I.totally.agree", she said looking bleary eyed, "Oh no.". Elena Galewind raised her eyebrows and looked up at the ceiling, averting her eyes from the retching figure in front of her. From the basin, she heard a voice mumble "Where does this all come from? Hand me a towel, will you? Elena smiled and retri...

Persephone: May 2015
http://persephoneone.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
If you've never been there, let me tell you the upper levels ain't too grand. Entire cities look like they're floating on clouds of volcanic smog but you're only seeing the very top of the skyscrapers. The furnaces burn all day and all night. The air is so poisonous that you can't spend more than an hour breathing it in. It's hot as hell and it ain't fun doing hard labour. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Persephone: May 2012
http://persephoneone.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Only the dead have seen the end of war.". News of the Ta'Seti invasion of Araxes pierced the silent contemplation Seren Undercroft had indulged herself in like a raucous, unwanted guest. She'd allowed herself a brief vacation, away from the pressures and stress of Araxian political life and had been watching the sunset on the family's adopted home of Nena from her seat on the farmhouse's veranda. For the first time in office, Seren had felt utterly lost. This was the archetypal no-win situation. ...Seren...

And the results are in.". Free grey geese ina greenfield grazing". Galewind tutted. "Say it again, this time properly.". Seren looked up at her companion, aghast. "I did say it properly. I've been saying it properly for the past ten minutes.". Galewind shook her head, seemed to take a deep breath and then said "Three grey geese in a green field grazing. Do you see the difference? Speak slowly and clearly. Emphasise both vowel and consonant. Pronounce each word separately.". Seren closed her eyes and prep...

Persephone: May 2013

Season Two : Prologue. Artificially induced rain. Designed to fall at the same precise second every day, it cleans the air of the pollutants and disperses the smog that would otherwise suffocate the city. I always liked walking in the rain. At least it hides the tears. They say the ones that hurt you most are the ones that promised they never would. They're dead now, but it doesn't bring forgiveness for them or me.

The Lightening of the Burden. After that lengthy process, they had moved onto other issues. A missing navigator from the Spacing Guild Corpus. Major Arnold Gustav had arrived to give an update on the investigation. That's quick work,. Seren had pondered , the news had broken just a few hours earlier at the Dawla session. Or had news of the disappearance been suppressed allowing the investigation to work unhindered? I have every right. I will know what's going on in there by hook or by crook! Delegate Und...

Seren walked down the steps of the Council Chambers, pulling the hem of her dress from the floor, and basked in the bright amber light of Mu Draconis' twin suns. To her left, she heard the Al Raqis marketplace bustle with people. The familiar cry of the water-sellers, the pottery makers and the thriving throng of humanity. Hello Mistress, how did the session go today? It was short. Very short but I finally got the act through.". Many congratulations, mistress.". Yes, yes it does, doesn't it? That quarter...
