A shuttle crashed on the surface of Poseidus 3, a border world of the United Stellar Federation's sphere of influence. On its board, only one stasis pod had remained active. Only one passenger survived a 500 year old drift. Haul, a student in engineering for the Federation Academy, and his teacher, the professor Aurussium, find this sole survivor. A girl, with no recollection of her origins and deeply affected by her elongated sleep. Only her name remains in her memory. Haul and this girl leave for a journey throughout the galaxy. To find out where she hails from, why she survived, and who are her people. *********************************************** Submission to the WPC#262 Cover art credit goes to : - Terraform Studios - DHK Thanks to my friend Helgi for the photoshop work.

With the discovery of the Great Reboot Protocol, the upper-echelons of the United Starbridge Confederation are in turmoil. Undercurrents are moving and power players are moving. Everyone wants to get their hands on the key to immortality, and Maximiler Vraken just happens to be caught in the middle of it all. As one of the most outstanding Commanders among his peers, Maximiler has been assigned as the Commander of the Nova Krakov, the pride and joy of every Heavy Cruiser enthusiast in Confederation Territory. Before long, he is assigned a mission of utmost importance - Transport the Great Reboot Code to the Headquarters of the Confederation. Nothing goes as planned and the Nova Krakov and her escorting fleet is besieged. The Great Reboot Code and the Nova Krakov are both lost in the battle, becoming one of the most tragic tales to be told throughout Confederation space. Waking up in the body of a newly produced human clone is one of Maximiler's least expected outcomes of the aftermath of the battle. Stranded at the borders of human-explored space, Maximiler must use his expansive knowledge of starships and mechs to rise back up to the stars!
