Note from the Author: Episode One

May 6th, 2009

Well that was it, the last of the Backstory posts.

Now I have the pleasure of writing Episode One, thus far named “Gravity”.

I plan on releasing two posts a week, on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. In order to keep up with this schedule it means that I have to pre-write everything and if anything changes thanks you to your comments I just have to update the post.

Remember, if you want to leave a comment on a story post but don’t want it to appear in the downloadable version just put the following somewhere in your comment (preferably at the top).

-not for publication-

or

-NFP-

This, of course, isn’t needed on the “Note from the Author” posts. These posts and any comments attached to them will never be published in the download versions.

That’s all I’ve got for now. Release date for Episode One is set for March 1st. See you then.

I am in my apartment looking out my window into space. Cool or what? In fact if I strain to look up I can almost make out the core and far down below is Earth somewhere. I still get a little disoriented knowing that the gravity that holds me down is actually the push from spinning around the core. I might order a light screen so I can chose to see space or a nice normal outside view. The trip up was good even if it was long. There were protesters at the launch in Dallas. I guess they don't ...

B.8 Goodbye Earth

Webnet transmission in progress. Audio to text function on. "Hello? Hey I can see the words on the screen. Cool. "Um... Hi everyone. I got my recording unit installed yesterday, as I'm sure you can tell. It's the ObAudio3 model. Pretty fancy if you ask me. "It wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be getting it done though. They froze the skin on the side of my neck, right below where the skull and jaw meet, and basically shoved a huge needle with the recording unit into my neck. I still have a lump but it's not that bad. You ...

B.7 Some People Just Don’t Get It

The move was a success. All the Ox have been relocated from their Long Range Transport Vessels into assigned living accommodations on Orbs one and two. E'lish and Romi are actually pretty cool people, er... aliens. They hung out with me all day on Friday after everything was finished being moved in. They are living on Orb 2 so they are close to the Ox district. The apartment building they live in is pretty similar to the one I'll be moving into (oh yeah. I was able to request where I want to live - to a degree. The HRC has set ...
