Starfire Nights
Rear Admiral Jack Manning had only moments to think. The Xeq’tralian warship, covered in the blood of a thousand human colonies, was bearing down on his ship, the USS Moscow-Tokyo, at between .9 and .95 times the speed of light. He gritted his teeth bravely; his chest was ready for combat; there were a lot of medals on it (one for saving the President). He ordered his gunnery chief, Lara Lei, to open fire with everything they had.
Class Struggle – Part I
My fourth period class had just ended. This meant that I had a free block, which actually meant that I had forty-six precious minutes—two minutes of travel allowed each way—to rush through paperwork and grading while sucking down lunch. If I were sufficiently productive, God willing, I could allow myself to have some ‘me time’ tonight. Nothing extravagant: maybe I could catch the evening news.
Roderick Report — AP
RIVERBAY, MA-- A rogue criminal investigator from the IRS continued his reign of terror yesterday when he assaulted and then illegally detained the employees of a Temple Street law firm. The man, identified as Roderick Stockingforth, allegedly held the forty employees of Bixby, Baxter and Frutt Legal Services at both gun and fistpoint for three hours before egressing through a plate glass window, announcing that he was "needed elsewhere."
In a joint press conference, Riverbay's mayor and chief of police tried to reassure the public. Chief of Police Phillips stated that "things are under control" and that "no one is going to get you unless you do something wrong or otherwise had it coming." Mayor Halleran added, "Stockingforth is a good man. We thank him for his dedication to righting all of the wrongs that we, his flock, do make, and we do ask him to have mercy on his fellow public servants in the knowledge that his righteous fists are not without mercy." The two officials then announced that they would be leaving the conference site only under cover of darkness at an undisclosed future date.
