Helix42 | 55 comments Hey guys! I'm back, with a new story! I'm actually prepared now, so I've finished the first three of six parts, and I would like to post them weekly, on Fridays.

Deep Space 13 is a science fiction story, focusing on the crew of the exploration ship Archangel. When they investigate the loss of contact with a deep space station, they are all pulled into a conspiracy deeper than they could have imagined.

Here's the intro to part one. It's a bit slow and short, but it's just build up.

(Oh, and there's some mature language throughout. I try to keep it to a minimum, but it really does help with the scene sometimes. So, I guess... PG-13?)

Helix42 | 55 comments Alright! Chapter one! Yes, I'm late. I noticed. Sorry, in the future, I'll try to post on Fridays.
Anyway, this one's really short too, but I promise they'll get longer later on. (Seriously, chapter two is almost four pages.)

Helix42 | 55 comments You might think this is short, but on Google Drive, it's actually a little under four pages. Keep that in mind while you read, and trust me, I do write long stuff. :)

Helix42 | 55 comments Each part is written with preludes and interludes (all of the 'ludes), but I don't like them very much, so I'm not including them in this posting of the story.

Helix42 | 55 comments This just so happens to be the end of Part One. Part Two: Conspiracy, will be up when I feel like it. (I'm not even going to say Friday anymore.)
However, I'm posting these faster than I'm writing them, So there maybe a delay sometime around Part Five. I don't know yet, just making precautions.

Helix42 | 55 comments Okay! I'm a bit (a lot) late, and I didn't upload the intro to part 2, but you can find that on any one of the links on this page. Anyway, here's the "next" one.

Helix42 | 55 comments Wow! Part three! You all finally get some answers! Unless, of course, no one is reading this. Is anyone? It'd be good to know.

Helix42 | 55 comments Well, just in case it isn't clear, I'm not going to be posting this anymore unless I get some sort of feedback on this thread. Even on the actual writing link, I haven't gotten much recognition, and I really hate to post to an empty room.

With that aside, though, I have gotten a substantial foothold in Part Five, and have recently passed the 100 page mark. That's pretty cool, because I've never done that before. The closest I've come before DS13 is probably around 25 to 30 pages. So if anyone wants to read more, just ask. I've definitely got plenty.

As always, criticism is encouraged, as long as it's constructive, and not just insulting. Thanks, guys. See you later.
