Qbit and the Keepers of the Blue Planet
by Paul Adam
The trip had been uneventful, and the weather stayed nice. Yuki was used to seeing the same type of lifeless and monotonous landscape on the moon, so it didn’t really bother her that she was seeing the same type of thing down here. Every now and then she could hear her grandmother singing, humming or... Continue Reading →
Yuki kept her glasses off so that the three of them could talk as they got the cabin ready for their departure. Kit assigned himself to a supervisory position and let them handle the actual work.

Yuki stepped up onto a wooden pallet set outside the door. A small sign hung by a rusty wire, it read; Wipe your feet!
