The Rat Race

A flaw in the Rat species’ coding and anti-mutt protocol threatens to muddle all the various breeds of rat into a homogeneous single species. The rats embrace this. With Genotype’s assistance, over several decades they selectively refine their breed into...

Longbow Legacy

A corporation on the edge of breaking into the ranks of the Megacorps puts a huge sum of money toward commissioning their own Bluesky station near Jupiter orbit. Decades later when they attempt to destroy their own station, they learn a valuable, final, lesson: MarsCo...

Broken Bow: Longbow Station

Attacks on BlueSky station “Longbow” by its owners, a long-forgotten budding megacorp, leave the station abandoned—inhabitable, but unmarketable. Laterals who wish to live a feral lifestyle colonize it later, creating a grotto that sensationalist media...

Phobos Base

Mars’s moon Phobos is reserved as a biological bank and technological archive, likely by Genotype. Evidence of this will be buried under kilometers of spaceport construction over the next seven centuries. Date: Estimated, some time after 70 AE
