“Death begins the cycle and death ends it. Everyone who fights the undead knows this at some level. If you fall, you become another soldier in their Hosts. Only the final death of the necromancer and his minions will stop them. It is not a conflict over territory or resources; it is a war of survival. Ours.” - Tactical-Professor Jhim Singh
Lies of (in)convenience
I just started iZombie season 2 and right at the outset, an issue that annoys me comes up. The situation is this: main character (Liv) is a zombie (she hides it under makeup) and, at the end of season 1, her younger brother was badly injured and needed a blood transfusion. He's also a rare… Continue reading Lies of (in)convenience

The ship shook. Three – four – times in rapid succession. “What happened?” a junior officer asked, his dirt-streaked face drawn, eyes wide. “Are they firing on us?” Goldstein laid a hand on the cadet’s shoulder. “Steady, lad. And no, they aren’t. Unless I miss my guess, they hit us with breaching pods. We’ve been boarded.”
Scars, Chapter 6.
With the first update of the month, we're back to the world of Scars.
