Meanwhile, on Earth, a small space craft zipped through the atmosphere and down to the surface in mere moments. Inside, Kane stared at the instrument panel that Korbaen’s hands were skillfully moving over. A skilled pilot herself, she knew the protocols for entering a planet’s space that was on the ‘untouched’ list and Korbaen was ignoring every one of them.
They had not chosen a real course. The ship’s cloaking systems were not engaged and they had passed close to a satellite they would normally have avoided. Kane bit her low lip, worrying over the man in the pilot’s seat.
“You don’t talk much, huh?” Kane turned her chair to face Korbaen and break the silence and hopefully lead to an answer about what he was planning on doing.
“When it’s necessary.” Korbaen’s gaze remained fixated on the screen before him as the ship came in low enough over the ground that Kane could see people walking around like bugs beneath them.
Kane’s eyes widened as the small neighborhoods suddenly broke into the outskirts of a city and they were passing over larger homes and buildings. “Are you … landing here??” Kane gasped as she put everything together. The ship was slowing and coming in on a lower arc.


No promises for this month, but I’m going to try to get extra updates up. Also closing commissions.

In my continuing effort to pay bills and other fun stuff, I’ve entered a design in this week’s Shirt.Woot derby! You can take a look at it here! Sadly, you can only vote if you’ve purchased a shirt from Woot in the past. :( But you can take a look at my Adorable Angelic African Wild Dog Pups anyway!
