    Summary

    Shenanigans ensue when one middle finger to the Academy too many gets Starfleet Cadet James T. Kirk booted off planet for a summer internship aboard the V.S.S. Sh'Raan.

    He's hiding a major secret from the oh so earnest and helpful Vulcans, but the longer he's on the ship, the more Jim starts to wonder if they're keeping secrets from him, too.

    ---

    Captain Spisee handed Jim a heavy sheet of rich, cream paper embossed with gold dusted Vulcan calligraphy bearing the ship’s name. It was a bit cheap by the standards of Vulcan stationary aesthetics, but shipboard life meant some sacrifices. In the most elegant handwriting he’d ever had the privilege to lay eyes on, it read:

    Summary

    Himiko gets a second chance. At what exactly? She's not entirely sure. Life? Love? Happiness? Fixing the system that broke her? Or tearing it all down? All she knows for sure is she can't do this without help. Will a hero- or heroes- lend a hand?

    Summary

    “Just when I thought I’d seen the depravity of your kind at its fullest. Stealing a poor dog’s ball?” Shadowheart makes a grab for the ball; Lae’zel tosses it to her other hand, grimacing at the sheen of drool it leaves behind. “For what purpose? Just to ruin the day of a being actually capable of feeling joy?”

    “By the hells, Shadowheart, she’s taking the thing for a bloody walk,” Wyll says from his tent.

    “A walk,” Shadowheart repeats, crossing her arms. “Why?”

    “I assume the animals of this world require some amount of exercise if they’re not to collapse under the weight of their own atrophying muscles,” Lae’zel says. “But you wouldn’t know, would you? Do the disciples of Shar pre-kill their pets so they can skip right to the loss?”

    -------------------

    Lae'zel starts to take Scratch out for daily walks. Shadowheart's determined to figure out why.

    Summary

    The Akatosh of this timeline uses people from other worlds as his Heroes, especially those who have been mistreated and pushed aside despite their sacrifices. For this Hero, the Last Dragonborn, he picks an especially young hero, one who has taken on tasks much too large for his young age and has been shown little thanks. Also he conveniently has a spot in his soul where a dragon soul would fit in quite nicely.

    Summary

    Contained within is the recently uncovered Alessian Era text "Aleshut Annales", a groundbreaking find that reveals a never-before-seen account of the first millennium of the Alessian Empire's history, straight from the quill of an Alessian scribe. The legacy of the First Empire is one shrouded in misremembered myth and exaggeration from a world that would sooner forget it, and with so many of their works and histories lost in the War of Righteousness, this represents the single most comprehensive document from the bygone Empire, detailing its history and its Imperial dynasties in the typically flowery fashion of the esoteric forebears of the modern-day Cyrodiils.

    Courtesy of the Scenarist's Guild Antiquarian Society, Miss Yoricka Vaughn is pleased to present her translation of Dorceveus Mir's Aleshut Annales, alternatively known as "A Brief History of the Alessian Empire."
