Sory but owing to work and a lousy cold I'm running behind on updates, should all be done with the next 24 hours.

Okay courtesy of new work commitments and organizing folders on a new sample site a little late posting here this week. At Satellite the DEBS are guarding a VIP, and Doctor Klang dispatches his best agent to get her claws into them. At Orbit a new illustrated series starts; 'Alice In The Underworld', and our heroine has more to worry about than white rabbits. Samples below and its all up now,

Enjoy!

It's time for Slayboy again at Satellite, this months centrefold is Cordelia Chase. At orbit we have a Solo story, 'Victory At All Costs', in which the overthrown of a band of evil sorcerors comes at a hideous price. Samples below and all should be up late tomorrow,

Enjoy!

Victory At All Costs

...The creature that stood before her was a hideous chimera, the legs and hips might have belonged at the rear of a bull but the thick tail was that of a scorpion. The chest and one pair of arms might have been human, albeit stretched and swollen in a hideous manner; there was another pair of arms shaped like those of a crab with cruel claws. The head was a melding of hound and reptile with slitted green eyes that fixed themselves on Vahanna as she tried to find some spell to repulse it. The creature that had been Rollan gave her no chance, it struck with long claws sliding out from the ends of its fingers and Vahanna’s chamber was redecorated in blood.

One by one the beast sought out the mages, whether they fought or hid, it made no difference. They called up the direst darkest magics, it did them no good. One by one they were slaughtered and anyone who chose to side with them suffered a similar fate. With the mages dead the kingdom would soon enough revert back to the rule of the old order.

Rollan knew that he would never be part of that order again; he was lost in the beast and would never reclaim his humanity. He thought that was the whole of the price he would pay for the victory, when a bewildered Linnea appeared in the corridor before him clad only in a flimsy nightgown....

This week its Illustrated stories at both sites. For Satellite its a Deep Space Nine story featuring Ezri Dax called 'Burn'. At Orbit old rivalries heat up in 'Cold War'. Samples from both are below and it should all be up now.

This week at Satellite there's a new comic series opening; 'Amerika: Nightlands'. An ordinery girl in a very bad world finds her life turned upside down. Over at Orbit there's a Solo story, a Salesman, a farmr daughter, but you haven't heard this one before...

Samples below and both should be up by late tomorrow,

Enjoy!

The Salesman

...Avery passed an hour in contemplation before the small door set into the main one creaked open. He rose up as if his sleep had been disturbed and saw Lisa standing there in a nightdress that was long and floaty without concealing all that much in the process. Avery kept his tone casual, “Lisa what brings you out here?”

            “Well Mistier Grant you were saying you sell jewellery and I have a few dollars saved up. Daddy never lets me go shopping so…” She spread her hands in a hopeful gesture.

            Avery smiled, “You know I was thinking that some of my collection would suit you down to the ground, in fact there is one piece that I thought would be perfect for you so I separated it out, just in case.” From his pocket he produced a chain with a medallion dangling from it. The medallion was made up of fine gold wire wound into an intricate geometric pattern that almost looked like letters but not those of the English alphabet.

            That didn’t bother Lisa; she was just entranced by the intricate beauty of the thing, “would you like to try it on? I mean only if you really want to.”

            “Oh yes.” Lisa responded excitedly.

            With the girl acting of her own free will Avery made his way behind her and lowered the pendant over head and fastened the clasp before letting it settle into her pert cleavage. He walked around to face Lisa once more and saw a vacant, distant look on her face, “I’m sure it looks lovely on you Lisa but I can’t see it properly because of that nightdress of yours. Why don’t you take it off?”...

This week at Orbit its the start of a new serial called 'Four Queens', starting with an introduction to the main character. At Satellite its back to GIB and Agent C is looking for hardware to take down the Beserrani queen, and running into a overzealous security system in 'Frisked'. Samples below and it should all be up late tomorrow,

Enjoy!

Four Queens: Prologue

Sasha spent a few moments taking in the sight before she stepped out of the tub onto the platform >welcome Sara Roberts. That is your correct name isn’t it?<

Sara was slightly startled by the voice that spoke in her head but she took it in her stride, “You are the intelligence that was here when mankind first came to this world? The one that flows through all the waters?”

>In human terms yes, we exist in the waters, and we found could talk to with humans, negotiate as you would have it<

“I see, and the administrator said you wanted to offer me a reward, it isn’t necessary really.”

>You have done a great service, and besides you will need this power for the crisis that is coming<

Sara was startled, “What crisis?”

>One we cannot reveal but are eager to avert, if you will accept your reward<

“In that case I don’t see how I can refuse.” Sara conceded, “What do I have to do?”

>Simply enter the water<

The instructions were simple enough and since ruining her one good dress didn’t seem a requirement Sara stripped it off and placed it on top of her shoes along with her underwear before wading out waist deep into the water. It wasn’t cold as she had imagined it might be, it was almost warm and something tingled against her skin.

>Just relax Sara, go with the flow as humans say<

Sara did her best, and was surprised that the water seemed to be rising. Her eyes said it was unchanging but she could feel water reaching up her skin. She looked down and saw the water defying gravity, rivulets of it running upwards and branching out over her tanned skin. Sara gasped but didn’t run. The faint electric sensation of the water intensified as it flowed up over her breasts, and let out a little moan as it reached her nipples, suddenly intensifying and making them spring up. The water spread further until it was a thin shimmering layer all over Sara’s body,

This week we have a  double up at Satellite. Thers the march edition of Slayboy featuring Elke Eban from the Mirror universe, and an updated version of part 1 of the 'Unleashed' comic. Over at Orbit there's a new Solo tale in the shape of 'Planted', on alien world thedanger comes from below. Samples below and it all should be up by late tomorrow evening.

Enjoy!

Planted

...No one saw fit to argue with that, and when Barbetti said everything he was as good as his word, he wanted the tents and a very sample case loaded, in case there might be another, ‘blue fungus’ among them, it would also cover them in case any of the team did suddenly reappear. The possibility of that diminished with every passing hour and by the time the sun was beginning to set Sonia was more interested in getting back in the shuttle and getting off this increasingly spooky planet.

            She picked up one last box, and grimaced at the weight, “Someone want to give me a hand with this?” She called out, to a response of dead silence. Turning around she saw the other three just standing close to the shuttle, still as statues. A chill went up Sonia’s spine and she let the box tumble to the ground before she spoke again, “What’s going on? Talk to me!”

            There was what might have been a choked off cry from Cortez but none of the three moved. That was too much for Sonia, she turned and ran away from the shuttle, getting a few metres before her foot caught on a suddenly appearing lump in the ground. Sonia went sprawling and didn’t see the soil crack open and something like a thick rubbery vine stretched up and homed on the exposed flesh at her ankle. As it connected the material spread out to make the largest possible area of contact...

This week we wrap up the 'Soul Provider' arc in Doppelgangland X and the witches need a distraction before they can restore Buffy's soul...

For orbit its a new Solo story, 'Above And Beyond', in which a young female airforce officer finds herself being volunteered for 'special duty'. Samples below and everything should be up by tomorrow.

Enjoy!

Above And Beyond

...Donna had drunk in the sight of all the alien machinery but it raised an obvious question, “Why isn’t any of this material being worked on sir?”

            “It’s investigated periodically as our own technology progresses,” Macaffey explained, “but other material has proven more promising especially as we’ve had assistance analysing it. We’re quite close to being able to replicate our own anti-gravity drive but we’re still stuck on a few of the key equations.”

            “Would that be part of my duties here sir?” Donna asked trying to contain her excitement.”

            Macaffey seemed gloomier, “You are absolutely essential to the work but first you need to meet with that assistance I mentioned.”

            Donna nodded and let herself be guided towards a working laboratory only coming to halt when she saw the ‘assistance’.

            They weren’t grey, they weren’t small, and they weren’t remotely humanoid. It looked like someone had created a lava lamp without any glass covering or liquid, just leaving the coloured wax fluxing and flowing, standing up in thin air, hardly touching the ground. There were two of the beings and they glistened in the light of the lab in dull red colour. Donna held her ground as they advanced towards her, though she did start as one of them spoke in a simulacra of Macaffey’s voice, “This is Lieutenant Grant?” It asked.

            Macaffey nodded, “Yes it is.”

            Donna watched as the surface of the being rippled and a device of some sort extruded from the body. It moved up and down, floating on the fluid surface of the alien, clearly pointed in the direction of Donna. She stayed patiently quiet and still until the device vanished back into the mass if the being, “May I ask what that was?”

            “A simple medical scanner, verifying your DNA profile against the one provided by your superiors.” The alien explained.

            That put a frown on Donna’s face, “My DNA profile? I can understand you might want to review my previous work but why is my DNA important.”

            It was impossible to tell if the alien experienced any emotional response to her question, it just continued speaking in its flat impersonation of Macaffey, “DNA is vital to our work, we need subjects with the correct profile. Your intelligence and physical attributes make you an ideal candidate.”

            Donna had a very bad feeling, and suddenly she did think about the possible practical reasons for positioning the marines beside the only exit from the facility, “Colonel would you mind explaining what they mean by subject?”

            “Pretty much what you imagine Lieutenant,” Macaffey admitted, at least having the good grace to sound embarrassed by the admission, “These beings have supplied us with vital technical information in exchange for experimental subjects. The price of the next batch is, well, you.”

            Donna had heard quite enough and marines or no marines she was getting the hell out of this place. She hadn’t being paying any attention to the second alien that was hanging back from the conversation. That was why Donna didn’t notice it extrude a device of its own and activate it; she simply crumpled to floor and passed out....

For Orbit this week its the last part of Hotel Hel and one agent has to close the rift but the rift bites back.

This week at Satellite it's Slayboy time, featuring Charmed's Pandora this month. Over at Orbit there's a new Solo story, 'Good Fences' where a safe community turns out to be something rather different...

Samples below and all should be up by tomorrow,

Enjoy!

Good Fences

Stephanie ate up the pavement as she ran, contrary to Gretchen’s opinion she took her exercise seriously and now they were in this safe and secure environment she felt safe to go out at night. Encouraging that sense of safety and security was the whole point of the gated community but not just to sell real estate.

            As Stephanie turned from one quiet street onto another she was brought to a halt as the streetlights suddenly went out. Worse there didn’t appear to be any house lights on either and Stephanie found herself in almost pitch blackness in the moonless night, “Well really, all that money and they can’t even keep the lights working?” She commented, loudly enough that she became suddenly aware that it was the only sound on the street, there were no cars, and no people coming out of their houses to see what was going on. It was that latter fact that made Stephanie suddenly nervous, the notion that the residents either didn’t care about the blackout, or were unwilling to appear for some other reason.

            Stephanie turned to run for home but her way was blocked. She hadn’t heard the manhole cover being lifted, or anything climbing out of the pipe. Even now she didn’t hear anything as she was grabbed and her scream was choked off.

This week we have a new Enterprise story featuring T'Pol and an unlikely monster in 'Howl'. At Orbit there's a new solo illustrated story 'Ogre' where a stuck up cheerleader gets her comeuppance from a witch. There are samples below and they both should be up tomorrow,

Over at orbit its a new text story art, in which an eager young assistant gets a little too caught up in an artists latest exhibit. Both should be up tomorrow and there are samples below,

Enjoy!

Art

...Come the afternoon before the evening opening of the exhibit Sandra was full of anticipation, Kristoff had promised to let her see the final assembly and explain his work to her. She was full of anticipation and even the fact that the ‘bouncers’ were there and locked the door behind her when they let her in could do nothing to dent it.

            Kristoff was clearly also excited. He had a smile on his face and when he made to escort Sandra through the foyer and into the exhibit space proper he slid a hand onto her ass and cupped it firmly, “I want you to know Sandra that without you this exhibit would not work, I don not believe anyone else could fill your role as well.”

            Sandra thought she could see where this conversation was headed; in fact she had been half expecting it, “Thank you Kristoff. I’m sure it will be great success. Afterwards perhaps we could celebrate your success.”

            Kristoff smiled, “By which you mean we could sleep together. Oh I do find you attractive Sandra, and I would very much enjoy that but the exhibit comes first.”

            Sandra blushed and nodded. She was sufficiently distracted not to notice that the final additions had been made to the wall. When she did she was momentarily puzzled. About six feet off the ground were a pair of widely separated curving sections of metal that looked like over sized coat hooks. Set in the middle of the and slightly lower was what vaguely resembled a saddle with a tall metal cylinder projecting straight up from it. She turned to ask Kristoff about, which brought a winch a set of bars and shackles into view. Consciously Sandra was still trying to make sense of what she was seeing, on a deeper level survival instincts kicked in and she found herself running for the exit; straight into the muscular arms of the two bouncers...

This week at Satellite we have a new Doppelgangland X story with a very different Tara Maclay in 'Soul Provider Part 2'. Over at Orbit it's the final Part of Lost In Lantis; 'Blue'. There are samples below and it should all be up late tomorrow,

Samples below and it should all be up tomorrow,

Enjoy!

Goat

Sergei ignored the tone, “Regardless the sooner we start the sooner we can return home in triumph.”

            That did sound reasonable, not to say hopeful, “So you’re going off to flush this creature out and capture it?”

            “That’s the plan, and to execute it I’ll be sending out all the staff to improve our chances, which means you had better come with me.”

            He didn’t sound very enthusiastic about that notion, and Josephine felt the same way, “I am not going traipsing through the woods searching for some animal, I’ll stay right here thank you very much!”

            “Sergei frowned, “Well that is a courageous offer my dear.”

            The use of that word set off alarm bells for Josephine, “What do you mean courageous?”

            “I mean you will be alone here in the camp and, well you don’t know how to use a weapon do you?” Sergei inquired, with just the faintest hint of sarcasm.

            Josephine barely knew which end of a firearm was which, she certainly had no idea how to fire one, “I think under the circumstances I will come with you after all.”

            “In that case I’ll be delighted to have your company.” Sergei managed to sound almost sincere.

The forest wasn’t quite the tangled nightmare Josephine had imagined, and there was little sign of any native animal life, which was both a good and bad thing, “Do you have any idea where to find this animal?”

            “Oh yes,” Sergei replied quietly, “I have an excellent notion of how to locate it.” As he spoke they entered a clearing that showed signs of something large having trampled the vegetation. He dropped the backpack he was carrying and extracted a heavy looking chain from it. He wound one end around the thick trunk of a local tree equivalent and locked it place with a large clamp before trailing out the rest of it across the clear and attaching a shackle to the free end.

            As Sergei went back to the backpack to collect his rifle Josephine looked along the length of chain disdainfully, “You don’t expect this beast just to walk in and chain itself up do you?”

            The click and whine of an energy rifle powering up behind her gave Josephine a hint...

Well after the latest round of computer problems I'm back in business and so we have some new material for Satellite and Orbit.

Well this week at Satellite we have the Anniversary issue of Slayboy, with two of my favourite Trek babes. Over at Orbit its a tale of maidens, jousting and monsters in 'Champion'. Samples of both below and it should all be up tomorrow,

Enjoy!

Champion

Berenice entered into the clearing, her breasts heaving in the low cut gown she had chose to wear. She knew what she was doing was close to madness but the fact that a knight had finally had the nerve to claim her was just too exciting, all her fantasises revolved around one scooping her up and carrying her off; and now the moment was here as she saw the dark outline of the knight waiting for her.

            She tried to keep her pace steady as she approached, the fact that the knight was still fully clad in his armour did not trouble her, it just excited her further. “You have come freely princess?” The knight’s voice was deep and gravely.

            Berenice gulped and nodded, “Yes.”

            The knight laid his gauntlets on her bare shoulders, “And why have you come?”

            Berenice shivered at the cold touch and looked into visor of the helmet. She couldn’t see anything of the face but she was compelled to speak the raw truth, “To give myself to you. I felt your power and it excited me, I feel it even more now.”

            “And what of my appearance, do you not care to see my face before you make your offer?”

            The intensity of that voice compelled Berenice, the sense of strength and control in it, “No it doesn’t matter I give myself and that’s all that matters.”

            The knight nodded and his hand slid down to grasp the fabric of the dress. With a single savage gesture he tore open the bodice and let Berenice’s breast spill out, revealing the hard dark nipples that rose and fell as she panted for breath. The knight gave her no time to think, he tore at the waist of the dress and sent the whole of it floating to the ground, leaving Berenice clad in nothing but the knee boots she had thrown on beneath the gown.

            Now as she stood naked Berenice pressed her soft body against the hard metal of the armour, “Now I must see you.” She whispered.

            The knight nodded and raised his visor. Berenice was prepared for almost anything but not for a blur of motion as something poured out of the helmet and lunged towards her.

Well Xmas did slow things down after all but the updates are up. There's a new chapter of the Dawn Chronicles at Satellite and the Finale of Avenger at Orbit, which has had a few upgrades. Both are up now and there are samples below,

Xmas week won't affect updates and the Slayboy Anniversary special is going to be released at the beginning of January,

Enjoy!

Blacklight

The blacklight had certainly been created and used in séances in Victorian times but not by nice genteel ladies and gentlemen. It had been the creation of those who revelled in the dark underbelly of society, those with the wealth to break the social conventions and get away with it. This bunch of nineteenth century thrill seekers didn’t just want to speak with the dead, they wanted to raise the damned souls from hell; and shake hands with them.

            The first Glenda knew that anything was wrong was when she thought she saw something out of the corner of her eye, a faint shadow passing across the wall in a way that just seemed wrong. She didn’t get a chance to figure out why before a hand appeared out of nowhere and clamped onto her shoulder. Glenda spun around, and her scream drowned out Annie’s faux séance as she confronted a ghastly apparition.

            That it was a man wasn’t in doubt but it was one who had spent centuries in the depths of hell so his physical form was warped and disfigured. Gaunt to the pint where bone broke through the flesh, a mouth more like a sharks and an expression twisted into hate and rage. The eyes were the worst though, the radiated a dark power that seemed to suck the will out of Glenda, leaving her standing there as the ghoul wizened, twisted fingers reached out and tore her sweater off her body. Glenda was a slender built brunette whose breasts were perky rather than full; which everyone in the room could now see.
