Summary
Fjord’s voice rang through the intra-craft speaker system. “Mighty Nein, report to the main deck.”
Caleb, Beau, and Veth all flinched to attention at the tone of his voice. Yasha reflexively put her hand on the heavy energy-pistol at her hip.
“We’re being hailed by a Dynasty vessel.”A day in the lives of the Mighty Nein, the seven crewmembers of a spacecraft currently in flight somewhere between the space station of Alfield and the planet Nicodranas.

Summary
Caleb pressed his palm into his chest. The weight of this affection grew and waned in intensity while Essek drifted in and out of his life, like a moon and her tides, but they never showed signs of withering in spite of the uncertainty of their relationship.
As it stood, Essek was a satellite. He seemed happy enough to remain as such, as far as Caleb could tell, and Caleb was more than happy to be blessed by the tides of his love.A series of meetings between Caleb and Essek across the Wynandir galaxy.

Summary
The Somnovem abandoned their bodies a long time ago. Now, their blank child-like faces float projected across the surface of a prism they've called Cognouza; a sprawling maze of numbers and hatred much smaller on the inside than out.
Hundreds of eyes cover the walls of Cognouza and watch for any minds naïve enough to approach in search of data, power, money, or whatever else. Vess DeRogna had wanted knowledge. Now her body is suspended in 57 Kelvin stasis within the Nein’s lower deck. And her mind is scrambled across the infinite and dense, blood-red layers of Cognouza’s cyberspace. They are not here for her.
The crew of the Nein are stealing from the most dangerous entities in the galaxy. It would hardly be the first time they've put themselves in life-threatening danger for the sake of a friend and it certainly wouldn't be the last. But it might just be the strangest way they've chosen to risk their lives yet.Series

Summary
A rumbling-crunching-booming noise louder than anything Yasha has ever heard screams through the ship.
The floors and walls shudder, making Jester fall to her knees with a cry. The table slides two feet across the floor, crashing into Yasha and Fjord’s knees. The light overhead flickers and something in a room nearby shatters.
“Fjord! What’s happening?”
Fjord kicks the table away and stands unsteadily. “A collision, maybe?”Out of the blue, disaster strikes the crew of the Nein. Yasha is left to untangle the mess and save her friends.
