"Stop whining like a two-year-old, you mushrot, and get the reserve back online!" "You know why that is impossible, so give me some peace. I can't devise — " "Suck it! You're a master techno-engineer, so you can build another way to track it." "You make 'master engineer' and its variants sound uniquely astringent. I … Continue reading Project Super Nex, Chapter Twelve: Freye Urewlil, Overseer of Torchen

Project Super Nex, Chapter Eleven: A Scuffle with The Romuteli
"Penelope, I'd like to ask you something," said Wyatt, entering the kitchen, where his Rad-Bio colleague was stirring a pot of oatmeal on the stovetop. She pointed her spoon at him. "Shoot." "How come you never once mentioned that you're Sidney's guardian?" Penelope growled just as the oatmeal burst into furious bubbling. "She told you?" … Continue reading Project Super Nex, Chapter Eleven: A Scuffle with The Romuteli
Project Super Nex, Chapter Ten: Quentin Medanar
"Wow," Wyatt mumbled to himself as he circled around a research laboratory with vials, large microscopes, glass cases storing chunky minerals, rings of interwoven wires floating above stone slabs, and other materials. Afterwards, he entered a library, the largest one thus far. Dust layered the dog-eared books. Others looked clean as if they had arrived … Continue reading Project Super Nex, Chapter Ten: Quentin Medanar
Project Super Nex, Chapter Nine: Alidiska Min
"How the grim d'ya shoot Wy? In the arm? With a damn boomerang?!" "For the hundredth time, Cooper, a Betelark sprayed me! There's more than one reason why I hate those bugs so much, and the hallucinogenic venom's at the top of my list!" "If the gash is not hygienically and promptly bonded, it will … Continue reading Project Super Nex, Chapter Nine: Alidiska Min
Project Super Nex, Chapter Eight: Spuring The Horse
"You're pretty early, Wyatt!" "Early bird catches the beetle, Dr. Fulbright. No better time to catch it than today." "No better time indeed," said Xavier, handing Wyatt an antiallergenic napkin, waving an arm to the ajar door of his office. "Come in, come in. Penelope's even earlier than you." Wyatt entered Xavier's office, where Penelope … Continue reading Project Super Nex, Chapter Eight: Spuring The Horse
My 2 Cents on RWBY: Volume 6 – Episode 11, “The Lady in the Shoe”
The rational voice in your head may wish to harp on about the pure fun and silliness of the mech fuss in the first half of the episode, while it may calm down during the fervent combat and genuine character beats in the second half. My advice is to simply let yourself enjoy every moment of this action-packed episode.
Project Super Nex, Chapter Six: Journeyers
"Here's the Journeyer-class spaceship fleet for today's invasion!" announced Xavier, waving his arm with a merry flourish. "Beauties, if I do say so myself. Thirty beautiful ships." Wyatt and Dr. Fulbright's faces were open with wonder as they took in the massive ships. Mobular-sized domes encircled the middle of the cylindrical vehicles, protruding curved fins … Continue reading Project Super Nex, Chapter Six: Journeyers
Project Super Nex, Chapter Five: The Wariness of Wyatt
"What in the universe?" Wyatt had finished a SPACE Union news article moments ago, slurping the last of the wheatfowl rice broth he ordered through Hot Beans, drumming his spoon on the takeout box. He rapped a fist on the granite countertop, scooted off the kitchen stool, tossed the spoon in the sink and the … Continue reading Project Super Nex, Chapter Five: The Wariness of Wyatt
Project Super Nex, Chapter Four: Two Serendipitous Encounters
Neither air bullets from W16s nor heat blasts from pokers inflicted anything more than dents and small burns on Grimhets' armored flesh as they stampeded out of the vortex. Wyatt and Penelope were quick to switch to energy orbs and switchguns, but it was Gene's gas bomb that gave everyone a break. He hurled it … Continue reading Project Super Nex, Chapter Four: Two Serendipitous Encounters
Project Super Nex, Chapter Three: The Infection
Wyatt took a seat in the crossbus as the first guitar riff of a song by his favorite band, Emovere, played over the radio. He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and drummed his hand on his lap while the crossbus zoomed away from the Cerebral satellite, into the spacetime tunnel. There was … Continue reading Project Super Nex, Chapter Three: The Infection
