"Omega, where's our reinforcements?" I asked.

"ETA is two minutes," it replied.

"Can you do that magic trick again?"

"They are actively communicating and sharing software patches in an attempt to counter my cyberwarfare tactics. So... ye...

"The enemy has done nothing more than lob the occasional fireball at us, sir," General Smarn informed me. "They have encamped in the wooded area to the southwest, though, which hinders our visibility."

"So we don't know what they're planning, or even the full disposition of their forces," I grumbled.

"Yes, sir. I do have some good news, though."

"Out with it."

"You were right about their caravan...

'I'm running low on missiles,' AU48 informed us.

'Understood. I'll only tag targets you can hit with your MAC,' AT27 replied.

We continued to circle around the battlefield looking for enemies to destroy. We had received an order to fall back and engag...

I woke up feeling fully rested for the first time in quite a while. As I stretched away the remaining stiffness in my muscles, I found myself enjoying the fluffiness of the bedding against my skin. I hadn't been able to enjoy it much last night because I'd passed out right as my head hit the pillow. It had been an exhausting week of training and translating, but all that's over now. Well, the translating, at least. I'm sure Nash has something evil i...

"Exiting warp, sir," Captain Blavro said.

I clacked my beak in acknowledgement. Then I realized that an alumari might not know that expression, so I nodded as well. It's somewhat amusing that human body language is much closer to universal than any other spec...

"Well, can't say much for their craftsmanship," Harmi said with a grunt.

"It's not pretty, but it looks like it'll hold up to an extended assault," I shook my head in disgust.

We finished our examination of the enemy's encampment and turned back to our own. Harmi and I had decided to personally confirm the scout's reports. The drow had erected wooden barricades around the village and were keeping them wet to prevent fires. They had made ...

"Good hits," intel-head Salin reported. "Target destroyed, fleet leader."

"Looks like the other teams have accomplished their objectives as well, sir," Hindal said.

Salin is sending my orders and receiving updates while my second in command is...

"Fuck off!" I shouted as I landed a kick into Nick's gut.

Our training sessions have been getting more intense as Nick becomes more familiar with swordplay. My strength, speed, and experience are all still superior to his, but now I'm actually counting on them in our sparring matches. The little shit almost landed that last strike. Thankfully for my pride, he'd let his guard down.

"Let's take a break," I grumbled as Nick doubled over and whe...

"Here we go!" BL28 said excitedly as we neared the end of our warp.

"Brace yourself. We may have the advantage of surprise, but it won't last long. Once it wears off, there will be a wall of fire that will be difficult to dodge. Make certain you are secured in your se......

I watched the orc slaves dig, doing my best not to inhale through my nose. The smell is abysmal, but that's to be expected. One can't expect a bunch of filthy creatures, who likely don't even realize how bad their stench is, trapped in confined quarters to smell like perfume. Well, perhaps a perfume for a tanner, but not one that anyone with a nose would even dream of purchasing.

The male orcish vampire glanced a...

It didn't take long for the feasting to get under way. Gnomes, dwarves, elves, and orcs brought various things out of the tree-buildings and set up stalls, which almost immediately began serving drinks and cooking food. Watching a city gather together and feast without any preparation or planning is quite the novel experience. It almost seemed practiced.

"Hey guys," Nick said, tearing my attention away from the various stalls popping up. "I'm sorr...

'Form up and prepare for subspace travel.'

IRV212's voice echoed within me. The Mwaltin call this form of communication psychic, and as such the system is named psynet, but that's not how it works at all. One simply thinks of speaking and instead of one's mouth moving,...

"How many did we lose this time?" I asked coldly.

"Four," Harmi answered. "Two dead, two captured."

I let out a sigh as I stared out over the field that the enemy stood in. Their smug eyes peered back at me from over their shields, their spear-tips glinting in the sunlight. It was obvious that this group wasn't going to follow us, either. If we had been able to get them in the trees, we would have been able to disrupt their lines and for...

"You want me to VOMIT in PUBLIC?" Yssinirath hissed.

"Sire, we can be mindful of your dignity whilst you are ejecting the daemon," Oakmor said, unable to hide his grin. "We can set up curtains to mask what is being done."

"Everyone will still know what happened!"

"At least it isn't out the other end, your majesty," I added, trying to be helpful.

The High Dragon's furious eyes focused on me and I felt my blood freeze again. I ...

"Welcome," Ambassador Charles Hemwight said with a slight bow. "We have news regarding the situation in Sol."

I glanced around at the gathered ambassadors, all seated at an ovular table. Behind us are some of the officers of our respective militaries, sitting quietly. Behind them...

ItsDirector's Roadmap

Hi everyone! I'm posting this to sort of force myself to do the things I want to do in the near future. I haven't done one of these before, but better late than never, right?

This post will be available for all who follow me on Reddit, Patreon, Ko-Fi, and Discord. If you know anyone who follows me elsewhere and would like to know this information, feel free to let them know :)

My knee throbbed in pain while Regent Oakmor spoke to the High Dragon in a language that I couldn't understand. Oddly, though, every once in a while I would hear something that I understood. It didn't take long to put two and two together.

'Are they speaking High Drakon? The same language that was on the pods?' I asked Ten.

'Probably. What they are speaking is fairly similar to Drakon,' Ten said. 'The translation pr...
