They sent a helicopter for her,she and the younger woman got their bags and their pets aboard and they are flying over the Atlantic Ocean to the Keldysh.
Lewis"She's a goddamn liar! Some nut case seeking money or publicity. God only knows why. Like that Russian babe,Anastasia" Bobby"They're inbound!" The three men checked the side of the boat to see the helicopter approaching.
Lewis"Jacqueline Dawson Kennedy died on the Titanic when she 5,right?" Brock"That's right" Lewis"If she had lived,she'd be over 100 by now" Brock turned towards him"101 next month" Lewis"Okay,so she's a very old goddamn liar. Look,I've already done the background on this woman...all the way back to the 20s,when she was working as an artist. Singing,dancing all of that shit. There's your first clue,Sherlock. Her name was Jacqueline Dawson back then. Then she marries this guy named Kennedy. They move to Cedar Rapids and she punches out a couple of kids. Now Kennedy's dead and,from what I hear,Cedar Rapids is dead" Brock"And everybody who knows about the diamond is supposed to be dead...or on this boat,but she knows"
The helicopter landed on the deck of the boat. The workers on the ship carried her and the younger woman's luggage. Lewis to Bobby"Doesn't exactly travel light,does she?" Everyone helped carry the old woman down from the helicopter in her wheelchair with her Pomeranian dog in her lap. Brock"Mrs. Kennedy,I'm Brock Lovett. Welcome to the Keldysh" they shook hands. The younger woman hopped off the helicopter and shook hands with Brock"Hi" Brock"Welcome to the Keldysh" the younger woman pushed the old woman in the wheelchair inside. One of the helicopter guys handed Brock, the old woman's goldfish.

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away

8 101SAE: Black and White
After 209 years, only 0.1% of what humanity once was still survives. Since after the first incident of SAE, all creatures on the planet started evolving rapidly, taking down human supremacy and making nature a warfare for the perfect species to be created. Even so, people still build lives and fight, being for power, family, or to find the right path in a world where humans are forced to live in fortresses and never step in the forest outside the walls. While with the change of rules, a new metal called Black Cutter together with the new form of power, the Vis, are fundamental for the future actions for humanity to prevail. Can our platoon of sixteen young soldiers of the Academy survive in this world where only who adapt faster thrives? Average chapter's length: 2000 words (4000 per episode)
8 174Small Pond
In a world without systems, levels, or any standard power levels, Faust is a naturally skeptical person who always asks questions first and accepts after he gets confirmation. A lot of it. With some information unknown to the reader, represented as [?], Faust is left to discover who kidnapped him, where he is, if magic exists, and what to do while the reader silently observes him. And as for the YOU dear reader, I'll need your help choosing some things... Small Pond isn't meant to be a high-paced action light novel, but instead, there's a greater focus on world and character building in order to create a greater narrative. Expect the unexpected in this story ;) The release schedule will be paused, for now, I'm going to try and spend some time rethinking the intro and work on school.
