Hello again everyone! Here are the final four chapters of Last Resort: The Road Home! Just a reminder, this is unedited! The next step is editing the entire story, but with the holiday season coming up, this may end up taking more than one month. I will post any changes, as well as any updates about artwork and stuff as they happen!
2023-11-01 17:10:21 +0000 UTC View PostDespite the fact that the kitchen was basically fully stocked, I resisted the urge to make anything crazy for breakfast. Having all this food on hand was a massive advantage, but it was one that would eventually end. Stretching it out for as long as possible while also preparing for that day would let us build up a hopefully substantial amount of shelf-stable food. Still, Molly had been through a lot over the last few days. Having a nice breakfast would probably go a long way in making her fe...
2023-11-01 14:54:23 +0000 UTC View PostWhen we landed back at the Chariot, I was itching to get started with the Arcane Enchanter. We had filled just shy of seventeen soul gems in total, which was plenty to finish the enchanter and do a bit of experimenting. Of course, I would need some stuff to experiment on, which would have required me to go on a shopping trip if Julus hadn't volunteered on the way back. It seemed that my crew was just as excited about the prospect of enchanted equipment as I was.
We landed insid...
2023-10-30 15:41:57 +0000 UTC View PostMiru is going to have some down time once she finishes reprogramming the Naval B1 and the BXs. What should her next project be?
2023-10-29 20:37:29 +0000 UTC View PostWhen we finally arrived at Birgis, everyone was feeling a bit tense. We were all in the cockpit, ready to man various stations should things devolve into a space battle. None of us expected any real issues, but this was still the first heavily populated planet we were visiting since we had stolen the Intervention. We had our comms connection with the Intervention open constantly, with Tatnia giving us frequent updates on what the warships' more powerful sensors were...
2023-10-27 15:40:08 +0000 UTC View PostIt took about thirty minutes to get Molly and Alissa calmed down and into the bastion. In their defense, a large chunk of that time was because when I first tried to stand up, my legs told me to go to hell, and I collapsed. When I had recovered enough, and we were all eventually inside, we sat down around one of the kitchen tables. Molly had a soda, while Alissa and I both had steaming cups of coffee. By the time I had gone over everything that had happened in the last two weeks, Molly was fi...
2023-10-25 15:10:49 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a post I will frequently link to as a place for suggestion for places Aiden might be sent. Please read and make note of my requirements and suggestions!
Once the empty soul gems were safely stored in the Arrow, ready for our hunting trips, I made my way to the workshop. As I entered the cargo bay, I spotted Leddy, the forest green leader of the repair droid. They were working on welding something to the back of a CPH with the help of one of her underlings. Covering my eyes as I walked past, I spotted Miru. She was working on a BX commando, peeking into the inner workings of its chest with a flashlight.
"Yeah, I see it. That's going to m...

(I plan on making a separate post that I can link back to repeatedly for future location suggestions, so hold on to any you might have!)
2023-10-20 18:58:59 +0000 UTC View Post"Are you sure they can fly into place in here?" I asked, standing beside Miru as she tapped on her oversized, clearly modified personal datapad. "Calima already volunteered to pull the Chariot out of the hangar to give them more room."
"There is plenty of room, Boss," She assured me for the third time. "Trust me, this kind of maneuvering is easy for them. They are used to much tighter angles in CIS storage."
She tapped her datapad again, and two raindrops lifted off the h...
2023-10-20 15:45:11 +0000 UTC View PostSo after shifting so many things around, I figure a small update is in order. So first, I've increased rewards again! The spread is now the same for my primary and secondary stories: eight for Board Members, five for Investors and three for Patrons. This means that you get a total of sixteen, ten and six early chapter respectively. All other benefits remain the same.
I've also shifted everyone fully into Project Bastion, meaning that technically Patrons and Investors are getting a littl...

Board members will now have access to eight chapters of my secondary fanfiction, which is now Project Bastion.

2023-10-18 15:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostOnce we escorted the General off of the Chariot, we finally got a closer look at the Intervention and the rest of the hangar bay. The Chariot was parked on one side of the hangar, with the Intervention on the other. Between them were four raindrops, seemingly finished, as well as several crates, which I assumed contained the rest of the loot from our most recent CIS raid. The C70 itself looked good, fully repainted with the same colors as the Chariot, 2023-10-16 14:58:00 +0000 UTC View Post
Nal and I arrived back at the Chariot not long after we finished cleaning and refilling the second hole. We debated visiting the other locations my Clairvoyance spell was directing me to, but we ultimately agreed it wasn't worth the risk. The nameless pair that found us before might have been easily appeased, but the next person might not be. Besides, I now essentially had an infinite amount of beskar, a dozen or so extra plates of various shapes really didn't mean much.

2023-10-13 15:31:29 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys! As you might have guessed from the title, this post contains the final chapter and the epilogue of Mettle, Metal, Meddled. Both of them were shorter than I would have liked, so I'm posting them together, but keep in mind that they should be considered as seperate chapters. Also, I am considering doing a end of story, spoiler filled Q&A for MMM, so if your interested leave a comment. Thank you, and enjoy!

"Uh… yeah, probably," I said with a shrug. "No one knows there is any on Dantooine, and to be honest, I don't know if it is just this cave or anywhere else."
"Boss… this is a big deal," Tatnia explained, looking over t...
2023-10-09 15:23:14 +0000 UTC View PostHello! Its time to choose our captains history!
2023-10-09 01:21:12 +0000 UTC View PostI passed the two-day trip to our destination by learning two spells, Create Soul Gem and Transmute. I needed the Create Soul Gem spell to finally confirm a hunch that I had had for a while about what kind of gem or crystal I would need to actually create a functional soul gem. Transmute, on the other hand, I needed to test the purity of the metal sample I was hoping to get.
When I finally learned the advanced version of Clairvoyance not too long ago, a few things came to mind. Some of t...
2023-10-06 15:48:32 +0000 UTC View PostPretty self explanatory, its time to choose the species of the new captains species! keep in mind what you read in the wiki is a generalization, and doesn't dictate what the actual character is going to be like.
"How's it going over there, guys?" I ask through our mental link. For a while, I don't get anything before Artemis finally spoke.
"Lady Shiva is down. Everyone is alright," She explained. "I don't see any more small-time ninjas or soldiers either."
"Great, everyone meet at the east side of the pyramid," I said, pushing as much urgency through the link as I could. "Break out your beacons as you move."
As I talk, I lead M'gann to ou...

2023-10-04 00:47:55 +0000 UTC View PostWith negotiations finished and most of my crew's curiosity sated about what was going on in the facility and what kind of secrets it could hold, we bummed a ride back to Thila Command. It was another two-day trip, but by now, I was exhausted, mentally and physically, to the point where I was worried about fucking up any spells I might attempt to learn. So, instead of risking it and potentially wasting my time, I took the two-day trip off, relaxing and decompressing from the adventure an...
2023-10-02 15:21:59 +0000 UTC View PostHello! Here are the next five chapters of Road Home. I'll admit, I'm not very happy with how these chapters came out. I wrote them earlier in the month while I was sick, and I never realized just how badly it affected my writing until I read through it yesterday. I think I will probably end up compressing at least two of the chapters down, and heavily editing the rest for the final release.
Just keep in mind that these are not edited!
