Welcome back!
Vicky has a baby girl they decide to call Narda, after Jake's grandmother, with the nickname of Winter. In the middle of a year-round summer, it's a rather sweet name. A memory that she's something precious to be cherished. The young parents are thrilled and in love. Vicky is a natural mother.
To continue the flow of good vibes as long as possible, Jake proposes marriage and Vicky accepts.
Do you remember the Deserter that offered us intel on how to get more psylinks? We denied the Deserter, instead we stand by Empire of the Spirit. For better or worse.
Of course we save Senate. Welcome aboard Senate!
Jack "Senate" Hayes
Senate's childhood was spent shirking his responsibilities over his family's herd of muffalo. Instead, he spent that time exploring wreckage from long-abandoned warships scattered across the planet. When Senate became of age, he signed up as a contract miner, where he moved from planet to planet, strip-mining valuable resources for his employers. The work was tough and dirty, but Senate found it rewarding. The exceptionally beautiful 27 year old has a strong passion for both animals and mining.
Gibson noticed him right away. And told the other single ladies to stay away from him, including the nudist, Furr.
What Gibson wants, Gibson gets: Senate and Gibson are now a couple.
Oh.
She departed the same way she arrived, between the shadows. Maybe not everything that comes from the shadows is bad, but I have to wonder, did getting to know us change her somehow?
Thank you for your time, Grimace.
We will remember you as the sun casts shadows of us, when the twilight cloaks our small, carved-out space of humanity.
The quadrums passed quietly, until:
We knew it was only a matter of time; those two couldn't keep their hands off each other.
You want us to what for what? That seems like not too much trouble at all; let's do it!
Meanwhile, Vicky and Jake tie the knot.
The ceremony is rudely interrupted when we were raided by the Pact of Booflu'mursh. We fought them off, and as we were scouring the battlefield for useful loot, we found one them still alive. We captured a Neanderthal named Microi. While imprisoned in her future bedroom:
Of course we saved her! We aren't monsters, you know.
Realizing we weren't the enemy, she joins us.
Curromigo Microi
Microi was raised as the fire keeper of her tribe. She took her responsibility very seriously. When she grew to adulthood, Microi became an expert at working wool, plant fibers, and natural dyes into beautiful clothing for her kin. Her handicrafts were often traded and highly valued by other settlements. She is a 28 year old with a strong passion in crafting, but is also interested in cooking, plants, and animals.
An ideology starts to form amongst the colonists, in which helping people in need, seems like the right thing to do. Without hesitation, they accept these two desperate refugees into their midst.
Gibson has her baby! They name her Melanie, or Mellie for short. Sometimes they affectionately refer to her as Smelly Mellie. Our humble community is growing so beautifully, it brings tears to my eyes!
OH NO!!
Infested by bugs, our friends took to arms and fought bravely. Many were injured.
Lobo, a very good boy, sacrificed his tail in defense of his pack.
A Furr with one ear, is better than a dead Furr. We amputated the infection in her ear.
Yes, the same Furr who just had her ear amputated to save her from an extreme infection....
Uh, Microi? Is this really the time? I know everyone deals with stress and trauma in their own ways, but we kind of need those......
Well, glad she's feeling better at least. *Rolls eyes*
As people often do after having children, Gibson and Senate get married!
