Project Super Nex – Chapter Seven – Shred of Everything

Lab C16 on the Citadelle’s thirty-first floor is nice enough, with its tables and computers arranged in loose circles, with its microscopes, vials, centrifuges, ultra-cold freezers, and tons of other supplies.

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.
