  • Inktober 31 – Risk Living in Space is assessing risks. Living is assessing risks.Should I do this? Or that? Should I destroy a newly discovered intelligent species and kill what’s left of my crew?Should I let a space-traveling, invasive hive-mind alien take over a desolated moon? Captain Horacio has made a choice. What is yours?…

Horacio slithers into the cockpit and took a brief look outside: Ever growing crystals. Raven. Doc. The crew, or whatever they have become.Her hands reach for the com. She tries to say something but can’t. What’s…

  • Inktober 29 – Patch The good thing about focusing on a task, is that you can ignore your environment.You can ignore the crystals that kept on growing and set up a life support module with Doc’s help.You can ignore the faint presence at the back of your skull and gather the tools to set up…

  • Inktober 26 – Extinct New memories, new connections. Memories not her own.Horacio’s not dreaming, she’s remembering.There was there was a world, a long time ago.Like earth, life happened, thrived, evolved.Like earth, humanoids took the lead and built cities.Like earth, knowledge was created and lost.Unlike earth, they discovered how to rebuild their brains on periodic molecular…

  • Inktober 25 – Spark Captain’s log, supplemental. I… I don’t think I’m talking. I don’t know where I am. I can’t feel a thing. Everything’s dark. Pitch black. No… incorrect. I can’t see, can’t hear, can’t feel a thing. There’s no darkness if I can’t see. Seeing nothing isn’t not seeing. What am I thinking? Am…

  • Inktober 24 – Splat With his suite completely depressurized, Doc should be dead by now. Horacio’s confused.– What… how…– Do not worry captain. It’s fine. Don’t fear them.– You… No air… How can you even talk?– You’re panicking. Don’t panic.– My mind YOU’RE IN MY MIND!– No, I’m merely grazing your thoughts, now listen and…

  • Inktober 23 – Leak – Come on Doc, Explain. Explain to me what’s… this!– Hang on. I need to sit… Crystals. It’s crystals. Like the one we got, but shinier.– That make no sense. How… Why… Oh no!– What?– Peoples! there’s people on it! My crew…– Calm down, captain.– I AM CALM!– No you’re not.–…

  • Inktober 22 – Open – Come on, doc… just a bit more… Yes! The hatch is open, we’re out!– Nice! Let’s…Hey? Why do you stop?– …– What’s the matter?– You gotta see this for yourself, doc. /* Krita + Yiynova */ [STORY START] – Allez doc… encore un coup… Oui ! Le sas est ouvert…
