Ao3 Lower Decks Novels & Stories

CRITICAL COLLAPSE IN NINE MINUTES. "We don't have time for a reunion," Caleb growled, his mercenary instincts instantly locking back into place as he hauled her to her feet. He handed her a spare tactical sidearm from his thigh rig. "The central AI core is on the lower sub-deck. It’s executing a full fortress self-destruct to ensure the Generation Two data doesn't leave the trench." "It wants to bury Arthur's future with us," Ava said, her voice turning into pure, unyielding steel. "Let’s go tear its heart out."

, or deck, but one of the smaller ones, since it was topside rather than lower down. The deck was split into four sections, each of which duplicated the others. The technicals spent each watch sealed into their own pod - an arrangement that made it virtually impossible to kill all of them with a single missile. Skene felt at home in his U-shaped console - which made sense, since nearly all of the previous two years had been spent there. A single light blinked on and off, his right index finger tingled as a mild current passed through it, and a tone sounded in his ear. Electromechanical activity had been detected somewhere in the darkness ahead. The sort of activity produced by a Class III or

I tried to smile, but I think it came out more of a grimace as she linked her arm around mine and started pulling me towards the building we had passed on the way up here. “We are in Opal Tower.” She pointed to the large building before pointing back at the other one. “And that one is Onyx Tower. Onyx is mostly warriors and then Opal is the rest of us unmated, mixed in with a few of the higher ranked warriors. The few high family that haven’t found their mates yet all have suites on the top floor.” She chattered away as we walked towards Opal Tower, and I stared in wonder.

A loud bang distracted me from my conversation. The rest had walked through the door and Xael and Luzo joined us quickly. "She's such a bitch." Luzo said with an annoyed tone. I didn't know if she meant Niran or Rana but it didn't really matter. They were both bitches in their own way. As if on cue, both walked through the door with Adrian right behind them. I immediately averted my gaze. "The deck is big enough to hold half the army. The cannons at the top can shoot at top speed. They can bring down any attacking force." The servant announced proudly.

“Out of the twenty-four soldiers, there are two left. Narset and Togin. Then there were Forty-eight settles. As is tradition for orcs in their colonization, we double our citizens pending on how many soldiers we have. I am the last engineer out of sixteen. Fay, my wife, is a Gardner with basic arcane abilities and Isoa, her sister is a diplomat who was meant to mayor the land we would have colonized.” Catarina bows her head to the orc out of respect for his loss. “I’m sorry you lost so much.” She manages to say before following him back to the door. He looks at her and nods. “It is okay. Its fate. You arrived just as we were running out of water.” Quickly, he opens the door that led to the e

His gaze followed Ziniya’s clumsy movement. The lower deck was jammed with socialites, and live music played in the corner. Some people sat on the couch around the edge of the deck, and some were enjoying the lounge inside the yacht. Some enjoyed the view through the glass panel, while others swayed to the soft music. Below the lower deck, kitchen staff prepared appetizers before the main course.

Kael's pov That frightened me more than explosions ever could. Maia walked ahead of me through the lower access levels, her steps steady despite everything that had just happened. She did not look wounded, but I could feel how tightly she was holding herself together. I stayed close enough that my shoulder almost brushed hers, close enough that she would know I was there without needing to look back. Neither of us spoke. The corridor opened into an abandoned operations deck overlooking a section of the city core. Transparent panels stretched from floor to ceiling, revealing layers of infrastructure and traffic far below. Screens along the walls flickered with raw data feeds, uncensored and f

Especially when I heard the calls being made for everyone to head to the lower deck. ****** My heart raced when I saw what space we were supposed to use. The lower deck has been transformed into something entirely different. There were seats arranged in one position for observers. And a climbing platform had been created. The kind that was dangerously close to the edge of the ship. One mistake from anyone who climbed that and they’d be falling to their deaths. And the worst part was that this place was close to the engine room where I’d kept Melody. What if she comes out? What if someone finds her or did they already get to her?

Before Nero can fully immerse himself from his imagination of jumping into the upper deck using his top-notch agility, Audrey already made up her mind. "Since he was the last one to arrived, I will take the advantage to choose which bed I prefer. I will be using the lower deck..." Audrey believes on a first come first serve basis so she did not stand on ceremony anymore. She will be taking the lower deck since it is more convenient. [Little girl, I want the upper deck....] "No Nero. It would be a hassle. You will have to literally climb up and down of your bed every single day. Besides not only it is time-consuming but it would also be tiring at the same time."
