Y/N's P.O.V.
As it turned out, the lodging wasn't much, but honestly, we weren't expecting much better than what we got.
There were only two available places for us to stay and Cara called dibs on the first one. I was grateful either way, a barn had to be better than taking turns in who slept in the bed and who slept in a chair.
"Please come in." The woman smiled and we let ourselves into the barn.
"I hope this is comfortable for you. Sorry that all we have is the barn."
"This will do fine, thank you." I nodded.
"I stacked some blankets over there for you." The woman gestured towards some blankets as Mando placed his rifle down.
"Thank you. That's very kind." Mando spoke and small footsteps approached, causing him to turn and point his blaster at the door, causing the young girl to hide.
I rolled my eyes and pushed his blaster down.
The woman looked shocked and walked over to the girl, carefully hugging her.
"This is my daughter, Winta." She introduced.
"We don't get a lot of visitors around here. She's not used to strangers."
"Hey." I smiled at the girl. I had joked about Mando having a soft spot for kids, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have one too.
"This nice man and woman are going to help protect us from the bad ones." The woman said softly.
"Thank you." Winta whispered, clearly still a little scared.
"Come on, Winta. Let's give our guests some room." She led her daughter away and Mando sighed.
"I'm going to go and get the rest of our things." I stepped towards the door, but Mando grabbed my arm.

"No. You're going to get some rest." He replied and I narrowed my eyes at him.
"You'll be no use if the raiders return and you're too exhausted to fight. You'll end up getting yourself and others killed."
"Your lack of faith in me is hurtful." I joked.
"Now let go of me."
"I'm serious." He didn't move.
"I decided to bring Cara along because I didn't want to risk one of us or the child getting hurt. If you don't rest, you'll be putting all of us in danger."
"I'll be fine. You're being ridiculous." I tried, but it was futile.
"It's not up for debate." Mando said seriously, letting go of me.
"Cara and I are going to look around later. You're not coming if you haven't slept."

"Feeling better?" Mando asked and I rolled my eyes.
I had ended getting a couple of hours rest, just to shut him up about it.
I noticed the child was in a crib, making me smile slightly. Somehow just looking at the wrinkled green baby improved my mood considerably.
"Knock Knock." I looked towards the door, finding the woman who offered us her barn. I figured I should ask her name at some point, but it could wait.
Mando didn't turn to face her, he simply continued to clean his rifle.
"Come in." He spoke and she carried a tray, Winta hiding behind her. She placed the tray down and I smiled at her slightly.
"Can I feed him?" Winta asked softly and I stood up, stretching slightly.
"Sure." Mando replied and the girl kneeled down by the cot, giggling when the child accepted the food.
"Can I play with him?" She asked with an excited smile.

"Go ahead." I let the child out of the crib.
"Come on!" Winta ran outside and the child followed as fast as his little legs would take him.
"I don't think-" Mando tried to stop them, but the woman stopped him.
"They'll be fine." She insisted.
"I don't-"
"She's said they'll be okay, Mando." I gave my friend a small smile.
"I brought the two of you some food. You didn't eat out there and you were asleep." The woman looked between the two of us.
"I'll leave it here."
"That's very thoughtful of you." Mando turned back to his rifle.
"Do you mind if I ask you something?" She looked at Mando and I turned towards the window.
"Go ahead." He replied.
"How long has it been since you've taken that off?" She asked, taking me by surprise.
Ever since I met Mando, many years ago, I've wondered about his helmet, but I never dared to ask. I figured it was a sensitive subject.
"Yesterday." Mando sighed and I figured it would have been when he went to get some rest.
"I mean, in front of someone else." She pushed.
Mando moved next to me, pointing out some kids playing together.
"I wasn't much older than they are." His answer made me frown and zone out completely, thinking about how hard that must have been for him.
"Y/N?" Mando's hand landed on my shoulder and I looked at him, before realising that the woman had gone.
"I'm going for a walk." I said, moving past him and picking up my blaster off of the floor.
"You're not going to eat?" He asked and I slipped my blaster into its holster, before taking the dagger from under my makeshift pillow.
"I'll eat when I get back."

Callum had seen things all his life. There are monsters and beasts living among people, but he learned very early not to admit such things, not if he didn’t want people to think him crazy. It turns out that the supernatural is real, but at thirty Callum has no desire to be part of that secret. Not that he has a choice when it turns out he is a mage, albeit one that hasn’t cast any spells in all his life. There are requirements, duties, and education that the powers that be insist he be subject to. To hell with that. Book Two: Renegade Mage Buy on Amazon! After escaping from the Guild of Arcane Regulation and the Bureau of Secret Enforcement, Callum has lost his greatest protection: his obscurity.

Now Callum is forced to decide how he wants to approach the supernatural world, and how he’s going to keep himself secure when the apparatus of government is arrayed against him. Even if he wanted to live as a mage, that bridge has been thoroughly burned, and even if he wanted to live as a normal person, he is far too deep to close his eyes to what he’s seen.

Campaign: A Project Starfarer Sidestory
This novel’s lore, story and characters are entirely fictitious. Certain long-standing countries, institutions, organizations, agencies, and public offices are mentioned, but their histories and the characters involved are wholly imaginary. "What will you do with your freedom?"Growing up in a meritocracy, infamous for being lawless, Jordan Astros had been repeatedly asked this question, since times unmemorable. In a society where one's accomplishments and skills were tallied and ranked in order to determine one's standard of living however, Jordan quickly grew to understand that 'freedom,' was a reward earned by accumulating Merit. And so, after his 17th birthday, Jordan departed his Clan's habitat in orbit of Europa to embark on his century-long journey to rise from E-Ranker to S-Rank. And spread his name throughout the Galilean Powers. *** Campaign is a sidestory within its NanoPunk parent series, Project Starfarer. (Yet to be published. Be on the lookout for it!) In which the first transhuman known to humanity, the Starfarer, invokes a plan to seed terrestrial life throughout the galaxy. Campaign takes place around the middle of that timeline and explores the life of a key figure in that universe, Jordan Astros. And explores one of four great nations thriving in the Solar System during that time. A Meritocracy that spans Jupiter and its 79 moons, The Galilean Powers. What you'll find in Campaign: Brutal melee combat in airless and pressurized low gravity environments. A technology based progression system influenced by merit and accomplishments; using tech that's theoretically possible to exist in the near-future. An exploratory perspective of the dozens of Galilean societies, or 'Powers,' from Jordans; and sometimes others', POV. What you wont find: Romance. Harems. An MC who receives shortcuts, handouts, learns things unnaturally fast or has OP plot armor. Jordan is not a special individual. Jordan is not OP and he likely never will be. He's no different than any other citizen in the Galilean Powers and will certainly face as many defeats as he does wins. He'll suffer losses and grow as an individual, while the Powers evolves around him as well. This is semi-hard sci-fi/NanoPunk and takes place in a fictional version of our future solar system. Centered around technology that's plausible in the near-centuries to come. Everything abides by the laws of physics/thermodynamics (As best that I understand them, at least. I'm no scientist.) No artificial gravity, inertial dampeners, teleportation, FTL, or hand-wavy materials will be found in the Project Starfarer universe. Just advanced automation, nanotechnology, cybernetics and AI. Set in the backdrop of space. *I do not own the photo used for the cover*
