The very human-looking Rihannsu was in one of the artificial intelligence labs within the ship's science wing, working with the ship's artificial intelligence core. A highly protected part of the ship, even more so than the bridge, engineering, and intelligence. He was busy looking through source goods, as he received an order from the captain of the ship, that someone who had no access to the ship's systems was able to stroll right into intelligence, "mmm, interesting, exciting," he muttered.
Frost stepped through the AI lab’s security field, the faint shimmer fading as the door sealed behind him. The blue…

This was Tirenn's first time seeing the Aurelia Pod, the Archlight's botany bay, which was larger than a shuttle bay but smaller than a full science deck. This advanced, self-contained botanical habitat can support multiple distinct micro-biome ecosystems simultaneously. The translucent alloy arches made the pod feel like a soft-curved terrarium cathedral, with environmental fields replacing traditional walls, allowing the micro-biome ecosystems to be observed without stepping in.
Between the micro-biome ecosystems ran the central hall, nicknamed the Luminous Spine, which was a 2m-wide path running nose to tail, with a transparent composite floor showing root and substrate channels beneath,…

As was common practice when meditating, the young hybrid was nude, her deep violet eyes entirely focused on the sphere. Usually, she would meditate in her meditation niche, but here she was out in the middle of the main living area, surrounded by the smooth, deep, dark sphere. The longer you looked, the sphere shifted, the smoothness disappeared, and a churning reflection appeared.
{Come on, Liriane, concentrate on the sphere, and your breathing,} the young hybrid thought, staring into the sphere and feeling that fear, no, not fear. Well, maybe it was fear, the fear of looking within oneself, looking…

The suite is intentionally quiet and softly luminous, designed to promote clarity, neutrality, and reflective thought. Unlike typical officer quarters, a diplomatic suite is built to feel non-territorial and culturally adaptive—a sanctuary between negotiations, a controlled environment for centering the mind. The diplomatic suite was not much bigger than that of an officer; it was, in fact, closer to the quarters of a senior officer.
The young diplomat was still getting used to this life; hell, she wasn't planning on being assigned to the flagship of a fleet, or whatever this 'Project' was. Two things went with her wherever the…

Blue lights shimmered and then diminished, leaving a ginger beauty in a lovely forest green uniform, a unique-looking shoulder bag made out of reclaimed root fibers, and the strap was decorated with faint, engraved patterns — Gaelic sigils representing growth, endurance, and renewal. Inside the bag were a lot of odd tools, but tools that were essential in her duties.
"Are you um, Lieutenant MacDa, uh...," the young petty officer said, trying to pronounce her last name, but failing miserably.
"MacDara, elonate the 'ar'," she said with a smile, her Gaelic twang coming through a little bit, as she helped…

Personal Log — Brigadier General Jonathan Elias Frost
Assignment: USS Archlight, Commanding Officer
Stepping aboard the USS Archlight today marked more than the beginning of a new command—it felt like crossing a threshold into the next era of Starfleet itself. The ship hums differently than anything I’ve served on before, as if the vessel itself is aware of every movement, every command, every intention before it’s spoken. The integration of Lukari quantum harmonics and Starfleet temporal systems has produced something… alive.
The crew is still settling in. Officers from Sentinel Station and the Temporal Operations Corps are learning…
