Narrative Game 4

Squad A: Joining Ga'rook and Sam

Ga'rook and Sam already have perfect teamwork, but with you there to give them orders the Gorgons don't stand a chance. Your squadmates seem to share this mindset, with Roland saying, "Standard makes sense. Besides, teamwork AND our new weapons might just be what we need to take these things down. Now, everyone get to your ships! Those space snakes aren't going to get rid of themselves!"

    "YES, SIR!" the crew roars, setting out for the hangar immediately. Roland turns to you, giving one last salute before following close behind. Saluting back, you jog after them, all the while acting like the weight of the universe isn't slowing you down.

Quick note for me and readers: This one felt hard to end properly. I purely want it to be a narrative section, but I feel like I'm kind of underselling things, or even making things feel to distanced. I'll definitely come back to this later, but I feel like it's important to actually say that. To write it down in a place that readers (Me and you alike) can see it. After all, if everything somebody wrote had to feel perfect, then I highly doubt there would be any stories at all lol.

Update: I reworked this section a bit, and I feel much happier with it. I still feel like I am not giving the characters enough depth, or even the threat that the Gorgons present, but I think that I'll discover these things the more I write.

Queen Medusa Heading towards Medusa, you check in on the rest of your crew. Fortunately, they report back quickly. Unfortunately, they're busy taking care of all the other Gorgons, so they can't offer much in the way of help. You do manage to get ahold of the Argos though, and they inform you that they only have enough parts for one more augment, but they should be able to send it over as soon as you choose which you'd like. Choose from: [Wing Blades] [Cloaking] [Force Field] //For the sake of this draft, I will be writing it as if the Wing Blades were chosen You inform the Argos that you would like the Wing Blades, and within seconds they appear through the circular portal in front of you, clipping onto your ship underneath the wings. The Wing Blades don't only give you a bigger wingspan, but they also release small bursts of energy. They have a bit of a cooldown, but these bursts not only make cutting easier, but also help you reach top speed almost instantly. It isn&

Narrative Game 13

A Revenge Not So Sweet The new augment makes getting to the braided up Gorgon much easier, but it isn't until Stheno is in range of your turrets that you understand its true value, as the massive braid unwinds and you are facing countless giant snake heads. *Using your wing augments, you slip between the countless heads, moving your ship as if its your own body. During your dance, you notice that a few of the heads are already burnt and can't seem to move as well. Remembering what Trion says, you realize that this must be Roland's work. Suddenly, your vision seems to go red, and you not only weave through the heads with unparalleled precision, but you also begin to fire your blaster turrets non-stop, targeting the weak points your friend left behind. Stheno's many heads screech in agony and try to strike out in waves, some even detaching before chasing you for a bit. It's no use though, as you have gained an almost mechanical precision at dealing with this Gorgon

Narrative Game 9

 Euryale- The Far Springer Still recovering from the first cry, you begin to fly towards the source. Looking back, you hope that Sam and Ga'Rook will be okay, but then you see the massive Gorgon in front of you and realize that you might be the one in trouble. This Gorgon, codenamed Euryale, is easily the size of a small moon, and it looks more like a cavernous, floating pit of fangs than a snake. Its scales look deadly pale, and if it weren't for its eyes, massive yellow slits that follow your every twist and turn, you might have thought it had died long ago. (This point in the chapter applies to protecting the North) Matching its hungry gaze, you adjust your path to engage and soon begin firing. At first it seems as if there's no reaction. Its scales and teeth are too durable to penetrate, but, when a stray blast hits it in the eye, another scream tells you that there's a chance. Unfortunately, that same scream sends you tumbling away, hurtling towards the hoard of Go
