It took Akira a couple of minutes to unlock the office and change the alarm settings on the new suite of sensors so they were inactive. Taking their lead from the Slaughterhouse’s tracking system, Annie and Mikey had been busy. Now anyone teleporting in or phasing through to either the BASEment or the office would … More Bluebook Session 28b – Rewind

Annie’s homemade salve really itched, even though his scales! It did however appear to be gently healing the acidic burns, bruises and ‘scratches’ he’d suffered in the Slaughterhouse (and he should have seen that blaster attack coming, really). The constant itch however made sleeping difficult and Annie had been keeping herself busy most nights, upgrading … More Bluebook Session 28a – Irritations

This episode follows on immediately from “Scholars Mate in Four Moves” As the team stood in front of their big screen that someone has managed to remotely activate, watching the flashing “Checkmate?” the background map and co-ordinates for Richmond Park, Akira asked what they were all thinking, this was obviously a trap, did they have an … More Episode 28 – Welcome to the Slaughterhouse

This takes place ten days after returning from St. Kilda  Part 1 – White Kings Pawn to E4 Annie entered their offices above the Jade Garden Restaurant, having first popped in downstairs to say “zǎoshang hǎo” to Mama Chi and promise that she and Sam would visit that evening for a meal and to wish … More Bluebook Session 27c – Scholars Mate in Four Moves

This takes place less than a week after St. Kilda Custard pies! Whose idea had that been, he wondered; Annie’s or Mikey’s, as he failed to hit the paddle attacking him on his left and subsequently had to dodge the paper plate covered in custard aimed at his head. He’d initially tried using his claws … More Bluebook Session 27b – Sadness at the Death of an Illusion

Approaching Ullapool, Mary winced as Rory asked, “By the way, who is this Mary MacCarty?” but then managed a warm smile, “Well, I’m a Mary MacCarty though not the one mentioned and I’m sort of related to your family but not directly by blood as such, more a parallel-world sort of thing. It’s complicated. But … More Bluebook Session 27a – Brainstorming

Recap: Once the temporal nausea had passed, they looked up at the sky and saw a now familiar-looking, large grav-vehicle appear over the island as though it had just decloaked. They had reappeared near the village of St. Kilda on the cliffs above the village. Nearby, they could hear an earlier Akira’s voice shouting, “Morning … More Episode 27 – Back to the Past (Pt 2)

Tomorrow was the start of the New Year and ‘his’ Annie wanted, no demanded, a day out in London shopping and a meal, before joining the crowds on the Embankment for the countdown and fireworks. Who was he to refuse? He supposed Annie wanted to make the best of the Boxing Day sales and resigned … More Bluebook Session 25b – You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile

As the feeling of temporal nausea faded and the teammates looked around them, they reluctantly accepted that they now stood amongst the ruins of a future Wessex. Young Mary and that ruddy dog hadn’t been conveyed with them for some reason, but both Rory and Psipher had, and the team quickly recognised the neighbourhood – … More Episode 26 – A Terminus Future

(This occurs after Christmas and before the trip to St. Kilda) Akira had been attending the Dojo of Sensei Hsi Feng for over a week now, arriving before dawn each morning to welcome the Sun. Each morning he arrived at the garden and joined the others in meditation exercises. Mai-Li was always there to welcome … More Bluebook Session 25a – Eyes Wide Open
