《In The Shadows (Star Trek TOS/AOS)》Part 7

After what seemed like hours of flicking through her small selection of dresses with the same thought in her mind, professional enough for an official ball but not to casual that you popped out of a barn dance. "This could work," she said pulling out one from the back of her wardrobe. She slid on an old birthday present her 18th if she remembered correctly.
It was a gold simple wide neckline dress with a sheer lace over the top, the lace had black rose embroidery that added the darker tones to the floor length dress with a slight train, the bottom/train had a black ribbon loped on the underside so she could pick it up and hold it on her finger/hand out of the way. "Okay so I'm 6ft 3 could I pull off these heels?" She asked herself pulling out an old pair of gold open toed heels. She was 6ft 4 and 1/2 with heels, "Thank the stars." She kept the makeup clean and simple, she looked in the mirror. Did she always have to wear her hair in that bun? For the occasion she let her hair down and tied back a small section either side with a ribbon at the back of her hair before brushing the rest into her natural curly ringlets.
No one recognised her till she started talking to them, Bones even asked, "You wearing your hair down are you okay do you have a fever or something?" "No I thought it would work for the occasion I'm surprised I still fit into this dress considering it was an 18th birthday present." James came out of his quarters absentmindedly doing up his cuff links, "Have any of you seen Gweynneth?" He walked straight into her back, she turned to face him. At first it didn't look like her till her looked into her familiar grey eyes, "Wow you look gorgeous, um I didn't recognise you," they laughed at his awkward tone.

Paladin
When the first derelict alien spacecraft fell to Earth, humanity took what was found in it and propelled themselves to new heights. In their new Golden Age, humanity developed technology that they had only dreamed about. The following years saw hundreds more ships crash into the planet, spurring even greater technological leaps. An unassuming spacecraft, one of the dozens that fell yearly, descended on Siberia in 2021. The world took no particular notice of it. However, this one contained something beyond the miraculous technology that had made humans so prosperous. Three years later, in a top-secret underground facility in eastern Colorado, the automated construction of an army of Paladin Mobile Infantry Suits was underway. With this new, state-of-the-art weaponry, the military would turn the tide against the alien incursion that was consuming the planet. Humanity fell before that could happen. Sam was an engineer responsible for overseeing the facility. Now alone, he lives in utter boredom and near insanity, his only company the base’s pseudo AI and an army of empty Paladins. With the world gone to hell around him, and the things that caused it still living above, he decides that he is much better off staying exactly where he is. Unfortunately for him, that is no longer an option. This is the first novel I've written. The first fifteen or so chapters are going to be a little slower. I want there to be time to get to know the characters before they start blowing stuff up. Also, though the MC will be strong relative to the world, he won't be OP, and won't win every fight. Not every fight will be physical either. Currently, I'm aiming for something like 5 fairly short chapters a week, after the introduction part is done, but we'll see how that goes. Thanks for reading, and please let me know if I've made mistakes!

Synergy
Dear Inspector, Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from being a Player. Hey! Laugh all you want, but I had to try. With no rules down here, who's to say that I can't resign? Anyway, my reasons are simple: I'm neither a gamer nor a hero. You got the wrong person for the job. Sure, the pay is decent and I could pretty much live like a king if, you know, I wasn't so busy trying to survive. I have major concerns about the demonic dagger bound to my soul too. Come to think of it, I've never asked to be transported to this fantasy land either and would like you to return me home, thank you very much. I don't want supernatural powers, I don't want to complete quests after quests, and I don't want to be your test subject anymore. What? I'm not whining, you're whining. Stop making excuses and let me leave already. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you'll find a better replacement after I'm gone for good. Sincerely,Randel, the Mad Painter What to expect from Synergy: --> Some GameLit elements are presented subversively. If you want the protagonist to “play the game” properly, this might not be the story for you.--> No filler chapters; the story's structure is already plotted out. It's going to have six story arcs.--> Character development happens slowly, over many chapters. Don't expect a perfect protagonist right off the bat.--> Some romance, but it will never be the main focus.--> Humor and dark elements in equal measure, but not to the extent that I’d label this story as “Comedy” or “Grimdark”. ... and lots and lots of Author's Notes. See you on the other side of the portal!
