Summary
Arkady knew something was going to go wrong even before the ship blew up. They weren't nearby, of course. Still eight days away from the ship (had some flower name) Brian's friend (whatever his name was) when Krejjh started losing there mind about a ship on the radar sending a distress signal. The message was as follows:
“Hello, hello? This is the Starship Iris, ID 45-Alpha-76-52-Tango, mission priority 7, under the command of Captain Tom Jasper, sector 284-325, requesting aid. We had—we had a catastrophic shuttle failure as the rest of the crew was returning from their final scouting trip on planet uh, 5925, cause unknown.
I'm the only survivor."
The Strange Case of Starship Iris Episode 1: Violet Liu, from the perspective of Arkady Patel, otherwise know as Kay Grisham.

Summary
Some time after the finale, the remaining crew members of the Hephaestus are roaming the halls of the Sol. They were all in Cutter’s private room when Minkowski opened a drawer, causing a chain reaction that led to the only door to the room slamming shut. No way in, no way out. Hera could try to hack into whatever system controlled the door, but that might take awhile. That left the five crew members in the room with only the glossy-cased, unopened board game that laid in the drawer they’d opened that they recognized all too well.
It was going to be a long wait, that’s for sure.

Summary
Dmitri Volodin was many things.
A scientist. A doctor. A young man. A Russian immigrant. A newly-made American. A Goddard Futuristics employee. A researcher. He was all of those things.
The father of the small girl clinging to his side was not one of those.

Summary
Roger Sheridan is a tough-talking, hard-drinking LA private eye. He's a real son of a bitch. As a confirmed bachelor in law enforcement, he learned to get mean quick--whether he wanted to or not.
The year is 1955, 10 since he got home from war and 7 since he got kicked off the force. It's winter, and the rain just won't let up. He'd get bored if it weren't for the newest case to land in his lap: a slain patriarch, a fallen starlet, and their prodigal son, all woven together in an ever-growing web of Hollywood scandal, intrigue, and blackmail. It would be a welcome distraction if that prodigal son weren't so nice to look at.

Summary
John looks up from his Jack and Coke in drunken curiosity.
"What's with the face, Harrowhark?" he asks, genuinely concerned.
"Contrary to popular belief," Gideon butts in, "her face just fuckin' looks like that, bitch." She tends to use "bitch" as liberally as commas when off her ass.
"You're piss drunk," you shoot back.
"And you, my good bitch, are just as contemptible as the day you clawed your way up from Hell."
