Dyna Graves Dyna blinked her eyes open, feeling drowsy, dizzy, and yet unbearably alert at the same time. She tried to sit up but a hand against her chest pressed her back down. “Woah, hold on there. Take it easy. It isn’t everyday that you wake up from […]
Doctor Frankenstein The Psychic Detector looked even more imposing from the base. Craning her neck back gave Dyna a dizzying moment of vertigo before she shook the feeling off. There wasn’t time to sit around gawking. There were still tulpa around and who knew what Alpha was planning […]
Escape “Activate the Continuity Engine.” As soon as the words left Alpha’s mouth, Dyna gripped her watch and turned the bezel. “—name is Marybeth King,” Alpha said. Dyna tuned her out, closing her eyes as she tried to focus. Alpha did not have a Continuity Engine. How could […]
A Flight to Catch “She woke up?” Dyna said, slumping in the seat in front of Beatrice’s control panel. “Ruby’s okay?” That gave her some hope for Id. “I intercepted a call from Ruby’s phone to the Carroll Institute. Would you like to speak with her?” Dyna’s eyes flicked […]

There were large containment units stationed around, though far less organized than […]
Flash Cards Routine, Dyna found, helped handle stress more than anything else in her life these days. Dyna woke up every morning at the same time, headed to exercise or training with Ruby and Emerald for the first half of the day—with the occasional guest appearance by Walter or […]
Proposing an Experiment Preparing for possibilities took the form of more training. Part of that was the usual firearm practice, exercise routines, and tactical-simulated combat. Another part took the form of brainstorming. “I do believe this is what I was warning you about,” November said, seated in the rear […]
