《Gemma Go Home》The Management (2)
Advertisement
Fiona and Kevin sat in a transport on their way back to their offices.
“I think Gemma has more potential than Skyler,” Fiona said, “I’m going to put her forth as my recommendation.”
Kevin scratched his head with a tentacle, “Wouldn’t she be exactly what we don’t want? She wants to go home so badly. Why would she interfere with Gosidonia’s interdimensional travel plans for us?”
Fiona clasped her hands, “That’s exactly why I think she’ll be a good fit. She’s got passion and she’s smart enough to realize that if travel becomes viable between dimensions...Wars won’t be small scale anymore. Entire planets and people could get wiped out. Peace wouldn’t be the default in that situation.”
“So, she’d do it for the greater good.”
“Exactly. And the Gosidonian’s will believe her about wanting to go home, because it’s the truth. She’ll be the perfect double agent.”
“Okay,” Kevin said, “I can see that working. But what about Nellie?”
“If the Babysitter class has any similarities to Guardian or Keeper, she’ll get Skills that will make taking care of the baby much easier.”
“Hmm,” Kevin looked out the window. There was sense in what Fiona said, and he did believe Gemma would do a good job. But the whole notion still didn’t sit right with him.
He realized that in the short time he’s spent with them, he did feel a certain protectiveness for the two girls.
“I don’t like it,” Kevin said, “I just want them to have a happy, quiet, peaceful life here.”
Fiona sighed, “As nice as that would be, the higher ups are asking for us to do our duty.”
“I know,” Kevin said, “But that doesn’t mean I have to like it.”

“And besides,” Fiona said, “When have Lost been known to lead quiet lives?”
“I managed it,” Kevin said.
“You’re an anomaly here.”
“I suppose that’s right.”
They arrived at Sector G, “I’m going to go write up that report,” Fiona said, “You don’t have to do anything you feel guilty about.”
The thank you Kevin offered felt wrong.
He headed back to his office in Sector F, wondering if he should’ve tried to persuade Fiona to leave Gemma alone. His tentacles shifted with his unease as he walked.

Embers in the Ash
Four ordinary young people from four corners of the Earth wake up on a hill in another world. Here, their very presence is a crime against the Gods. On the fringes of civilization, life is often brief and always violent, but in the Empire's Heartland, implacable hunters seek to rectify their blasphemous existence with Blade and Fire. To return home, they will need to adapt to a place where their life will be earned in steel. But what will they be ready to sacrifice for their goal? Will their flame flicker out like so many others before them? Or will they thrive as Embers in the Ash? Hello, and welcome to my first fiction on this site! Embers in the Ash is an epic fantasy adventure story that aims to span quite a few chapters (I hope!). To set expectations, this isn't going to be a LitRPG or power fantasy-style story. I'm aiming for a fairly grounded story set in a fairly high-fantasy world. I hope you enjoy it! For this first month of publication, my aim is to give you, the reader, something to really bite into. I will be releasing a chapter every day at 9:15 AM EST (13:15 GMT), as well as the occasional double chapter (which will always be announced by a post-chapter author blurb). Check in fifteen minutes after the first chapter's release! After this first month of publication, the aim is to go for either a weekly or bi-weekly release schedule, depending on the sort of time I can reliably dedicate to writing. Either way, settle in for the long haul, and welcome to the story!
