Ruabon

Welcome to Tecant. Nothing ever happens here. Until today. Ruabon Nadarl is just another low-ranking member of the scan crew, slaving away for the oppressive UFS government which “liberated” his homeworld. To help pass the time during long shifts he builds secret personalities into the robots he controls. Then Ruabon detects an intruder on the surface of a vital communications tower. He could just report it and let the deadly UFS commandos take over, while Ruabon returns to obscurity. Or he could break UFS laws and try to capture the intruder himself. For the UFS, only the outcome matters, not the method. If his custom-programmed drones can save the day, he’ll be a hero. And if he fails, he’ll be dead. Lost Tales of Solace are short side-stories set in the Lost Solace universe. Note: this work is 100% human-created, crafted with love by the author.
