Akira, body and spirit now recombined, was badly dehydrated. He’d gone a week without any water or food. The hunger was the least of his problems, his body had had some, if admittedly minimal, fat supplies to burn; just a longer than usual fast but then again his body had once been accustomed to fasting. … More Bluebook Session 38a – Vigil for the Departed

Then It had been a week since Akira had teleported away from the BASEment. His commdot was deactivated, with the last signal having emanated from Akira’s ‘sanctuary’ at Ffrwd Dylluan. Sam had visited on a couple of occasions and tried to enter the mystical mansion but the barrier around the property had prevented him each … More Episode 38 – Whatever Happened to..?

Mary walked into the reception area of St. Catherine’s Library and presented her temporary Library Card to the young receptionist, a Danielle according to her nametag, and asked if she could speak with Dr Bradbury. Unfortunately, he was currently busy but he asked another librarian, a Jamil Hassan if he could assist her. Mary was … More Bluebook Session 37c – You Yig while I Zag

In the safe folds of Ffrwd Dylluan two Akira’s lay side-by-side on the floor. He had originally thought that perhaps it was this place that had given him the power, the insight, the inspiration to do what he had felt was necessary. It was this idea that had led him to abandon the BASEment and … More Bluebook Session 37b – Duplicitous Duplicity

The trip back to the UK from Dakata was carried out in embarrassed and prolonged silence. No one wanted to address the issue of the physically alterations that had affected Akira since their return from Kenya. It had to be something to do with Akira’s nocturnal chanting and spellcasting, but what had been its purpose? … More Bluebook Session 37a – Out of Africa

Prequel Several years before, on a small privately owned Island located off the coast of Libertalia (which Mary had known as Madagascar in her paratime), an idealistic scientist and his colleagues had experimented on a troop of gorillas trying to uplift them towards sentiency. They had eventually been successful, but the gentle creatures quickly grew … More Episode 37 – Escape Back to the City of the Apes

Part 1 – ‘Reward’ Akira suddenly sat bolt upright in the bed with a stifled cry. The air conditioning was switched off and the air in the room was hot and dry but that wasn’t the cause of the sheen of sweat that now covered his body, it had been his nightmare, the memory of … More Bluebook Session 36a – Fragments

After the team had been summoned to visit King M’Balla and, despite his statement that he did not hold them responsible for the previous night’s attack, they were all confined to their suites whilst the Shujaa Wa’Usiku (Honour Guards) searched the city and countryside for the saboteurs that had managed to get away. Next morning … More Episode 36 – Children of Cain (Dakata Part 2)

It had been three days since their attack on the Vault. Akira, working with Mahzi from the Library, had cast a ritual over the BASEment and Container Town that ‘apparently’ blocked vampires from entering without the explicit approval of a member of the team. Or at least that’s what Akira hoped his adaptations to the … More Episode 35 – Into Eden (Dakata Part 1)

It had been a long day. It had started with an unexpected banged bedroom door in the early hours when Sam and Annie had some form of disagreement. There had been no other obvious tantrums or loud shouting, but Sam had left early in the morning obviously upset about something and had switched off his … More Session 34 – Assault on the Vault
