String - Interception 10.7

I took a deep breath and listened to the hum of machinery.

I felt like the walls were closing in around me. The dinner with Lucy’s father was happening this week and Sam had yet to come up ...

String - Interception 10.6

My ‘tour guide’ escorted me to the private parking garage where a blacked-out SUV sat.

Francis stood by the front passenger seat, his hands clasped in front of him with his usual...

String - Interception 10.5

I was faced with a dilemma.

In order to get what I needed, I had two options. I could explain everything to Cyberspace and be upfront about why I was seeking out Splicer’s tech. A pretty si...

String - Interception 10.4

The rest of the mission went without a hitch.

I returned to my workshop with minimal power left in my suit. There had not been any cause for concern, and I relayed as much to everyone anxious...

String - Interception 10.3

Thunder boomed as I filled the hole containing one of the last seismic sensors. By now, they would be picking up and transmitting enough data to tell where the Walkers were at all times. The missio...

String - Interception 10.2

Nothing can top Grim.

I repeated that over and over in my head as I retreated into the apartment complex. I kept an eye on the fire exit and slowed my movements the moment my pursuer...

String - Interception 10.1

Water droplets obscuring my vision had me mentally revising my helmet design.

A vicious storm had arrived today, unleashing torrential rain upon Bayside. The area of the city that was flooded...

String - Ignition Interlude: Domination

All of this… it was familiar.

The roaring inferno consuming homes. 

The taste of smoke and ash filling the air. 

The desperate echoing cries of the dying.

Domina...

String - Ignition 9.9

Explaining what happened was much easier than I thought. The tricky part was explaining my motives.

“We have the advantage of knowing who Wildfire is without him knowing about us. He spoke ...

String - Ignition 9.8

One by one, my drones filtered back into my workshop. 

No one spoke as I guided them back to their charging stations, each one letting out a low hum as the camouflage deactivated. I’d ...

String - Ignition 9.7

I almost needed to remind myself to breathe.

Trap or not, Mirage had exposed himself to us, and now I was going to do everything in my power to take advantage. Controlling my drones remotely ...

String - Ignition 9.6

Sam’s unstable mood left the room’s atmosphere feeling heavy. It was clear that Liam and Mia were put off by the false cheeriness she was putting forward, and I knew Lucy would see right throug...

String - Ignition 9.5

When I heard the door to my workshop open, I looked up to see Sam scowling as she strode in. I knew she was upset with me about Lucy, but when I saw the state she was in, it apparently wasn’t the...

String - Ignition 9.4

My plan was simple: walk to the car with Lucy after school and wait for Liam to meet us.

I had already texted Sam to let her know I was bringing Lucy to the hideout. I didn’t receive an out...

String - Ignition 9.3

Lucy and I barely made it to the next hallway before she pulled me to the side. Her head was on a swivel to ensure we had privacy, but I knew nobody would be around. Homeroom had started and if we ...

String - Ignition 9.2

It was still early morning and we were eager to go out guns blazing, but Francis brought us back down to earth. He said we should set up a location for an ambush to give ourselves the best chance o...

String - Ignition 9.1

Waking up to sirens blaring throughout the city snapped me into fight-or-flight mode. 

I was out of bed and halfway down the stairs to my workshop before I figured out what was going on....

Richard calmly sat at the family dining table grazing on some morning toast while his mother and father cracked at the seams. 

The family business was already hemorrhaging funds before G...

String - Initialization 8.8

My fingertips brushed the front of my power armor. 

With my suit in the Disengagement Unit I had designed to house it when not in use, I could work on it. I was able to get better readin...

String - Initialization 8.7

I was beginning to feel the heat of frustration grasping at my throat. 

The thought of what could be contained within Deadlocked's prototype consumed me, yet it seemed any idea I had to ...

String - Initialization 8.6

“Maxis?”

I looked up to see my teacher, hand outstretched with a note. I had made it to the last class of the day wondering when I would be called on. Why had she waited until the end of ...

String - Initialization 8.5

I saw the ripples in the air before they hit me, blasting from the engines of The Mothership. The spacecraft loomed above The ECU’s Citadel, eclipsing the daylight across Bayside. The sight and s...

String - Initialization 8.2

One of my larger 3D printers hummed as it worked, and I patiently watched from a chair, gripping a fresh hot chocolate. It wouldn’t be long before the machine finished, and I could see if my curi...
