Cadris let out an audible groan of frustration when a clear rift had started to form between their party and their leader. Delvers had enough unspeakable horrors to worry about down here; they were in...

"I concur," Cadris said aloud, echoing Dakdak's observation while still catching her breath. "She's definitely infected."
In truth, she really had no idea what the fuck she was looking at.

Once the flash-bloom of fire dissipated from the muzzle of the barrel, Cadris squinted to see if she had indeed hit the cursed creature. The witch bit the bottom of her lip and grinned when she confirmed...

Cadris was no hunter, but she had the virtue of patience on her side. Laying in ambush for hours at a time was no problem for her. Now, paying full attention while she was...

Cadris' retreating steps were slowed by the foliage and marsh. She felt herself sink a couple of inches with each stride, despite her narrow stature. On the best of days, a dead sprint through the swamp...

Cadris didn't need a second invitation to retreat. Delves were far too dangerous for heroics or greed; a chance to Delve again would always be worth more than dying. An ambush was a death sentence in...

Cadris wasn't a slouch by any means, however, she found herself in a rather uncomfortable jog keeping up with both an elven and a halfling ranger. The way they effortlessly danced across the terrain was...
"What's happening!?" Dr. Simonova screamed over the dreadful crash and collapse. She was sheltered from the brunt of the harm, but still covered in a spray of dust.
Vidal didn't know exactly what was happening, but he did know that they were in the danger zone just a moment ago. If they just...
Dr. Simonova sighed at Yongsan's request. The doctor tabbed to the cadet's communication channel and responded, "You just want to show off, don't you, Yongsan? Or do you have something to prove, hm?"
With a few swift taps on the console's keyboard, the simulation's firing range shifted again...

The swamp was bountiful. Cadris had a hard time prying herself away from the vast assortment of flora and fauna that surrounded her at every squishy step in the swamp. The harvesting of alchemical...
"Hm? Over-achiever, are we, Haber?" Dr. Simonova grinned as she tapped away at her terminal. "I should have expected as such from ARES candidates, everyone has so much to prove. Oh well, who am I to say no?"
Pixelated patterns flickered downrange within the simulation, shifting and assembling...

Overall, Captain Vidal was mostly satisfied with the results of Evaluation 2. Breach of regulations aside, Vidal already saw many strong candidates in both measured prowess and other immeasurable factors. To Vidal, being a prodigy wasn't enough to cut it as an ARES pilot. What was more important...
"One-sixth gravity means that a 100 pound weight on Earth only weighs approximately 17 pounds here on the 3010-Arclight simulation, Cadet Skye," Dr. Minamoto explained in an audio communication to the pilot. "That means you and your ETA weigh 17% of what they would normally weigh on Earth. Your...

"Ah, this is a rather simple neurological pathway evaluation," Dr. Simonova responded to Alex, giving the cadet an honest smile. "No one has ever died during this phase of the evaluation, and there is a very very low probability of neurological shock, with an even lower chance if your body has...
