    Threadmarks: Chapter 0039: Breaching the Backdoor (and Booting Up Trouble)

    Chapter 0039: Breaching the Backdoor (and Booting Up Trouble) The air at Point Beta felt thick, heavy with the sickly sweet smell of decay and the tangible hum of contained energy bleeding from somewhere within the entombed Chimera facility. The massive pile of rubble blocking the tunnel didn't...

    Chapter 0038: Point Beta Approach and Lingering Rot The acrid, ammonia-like scent of the Crawler lingered, mixing unpleasantly with the ever-present damp earth and decay as we pushed deeper into the designated Sector 6-Delta access tunnel. Every footstep echoed too loudly in the claustrophobic...

    Chapter 0037: Tremors and Twisted Trails The stale air in this section of the Undercroft tasted like cold, damp concrete and something else… a faint, dry dustiness, like decaying paper or long-dried spores that had lost their electric buzz. It clung to the back of my throat, different from the...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 0036: Crawler Territory and Warped Perceptions

    Chapter 0036: Crawler Territory and Warped Perceptions The passage Cipher led us into was narrower, more claustrophobic than the wide aqueduct bypass or the musical cavern. Ancient, smoothed rock gave way to rougher-hewn walls showing clear signs of excavation, interspersed with crumbling...

    Reality Glitches and Other Daily Annoyances [LitRPG][Post-Apocalypse][Snark]

    Hey, I am glad to know you enjoyed the story. So, the only one who speaks in tech jargon is Ren basically, with Cipher talking in tech jargon++ since he kinda talks like a robot. Leo is supposed to have a distinct draftsman vocabulary because of his educational upbringing while Anya has a...

    Chapter 0035: Stepping Back Into Static The final moments inside the Maintenance Junction stretched, each tick of the unseen clock counting down the auxiliary battery life feeling like a physical pressure.

    Chapter 0034: Final Preparations and Unspoken Fears The heavy silence that followed Cipher's manufactured comms failure felt brittle, like a held breath waiting to shatter. Outside the sealed steel door, the Undercroft remained quiet with no immediate retaliation from the Obsidian Jaws. But the...

    Chapter 0032: Resource Check and Lingering Shadows The initial surge of adrenaline from discovering a potential path forward via Project Chimera quickly dissipated, leaving behind the cold, hard reality of our situation. We were trapped, low on everything, with a damaged ride and a guide who...

    Chapter 0031: Schematics and Suspicions The heavy thrum of the Probability Drive's minimal life support system was the dominant sound now, a low pulse against the backdrop of dripping water and the unsettling silence from within the sealed steel door. The air, thick with the scent of ozone...

    Chapter 0030: Calculated Risks and Corrupted Codecs The silence that followed Cipher's pronouncement about Obsidian Crawler territory being the route to Project Chimera wasn't comfortable. It was the heavy, leaden quiet of people contemplating a truly terrible set of options and realizing the...

    Chapter 0029: Damage Control and Diminishing Returns Anya didn't waste a second after sealing us back inside the relative, if highly questionable, safety of the Maintenance Junction. Pragmatism was clearly her default state, especially post-near-death-by-Apex-Predator-and-Wraith-tag-team...

    Chapter 0028: Junction Recon and Lingering Echoes The crudely etched error code pulsed in my vision, mocking, real, [ERR: SYNC_FAILURE_7G].
