Mystery
One Earth Week
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I knew it well enough- Confederated Logistics and Defense didn't waste its time hiring spacecrew without at least a couple semesters of university physics to their name. But cartwheeling there in the belly of nothing, a million impossibly distant stars spiraling across my splintering visor, I screamed all the same. It was the kind of unfiltered, instinctual scream that reveals you for the dumb, panicky animal you and your arboreal ancestors have always been. I knew no one could hear me, not even through my comms, whose delicate circuits some twerps at CLAD’s R&D labs had cleverly integrated into my now-fractured helmet visor. I knew, but the screams just kept coming, consuming whole gulps of my finite oxygen reserves, and my oh-so-developed primate brain didn't seem to care one bit that it was only killing me faster.

Chapter 1 - Friend or Murderer
'Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say.' Arya's mom told her with a wink. Arya and her mom were sitting on the window ledge, their favourite spot staring at the space with chocolate chai. Arya's parents Ram and Sita, were considered THE most brilliant people in the colony. They were working on a project to discover and communicate with other space colonies. Once Earth had become uninhabitable - groups of humans had taken the space fuel Allinone to start new colonies in space. And they had not been able to get in touch since then. Arya loved these evenings with her mom when they would have chai and talk about the history and other topics. Suddenly the glass pane broke, and her mom was sucked into the space. Arya tried to grab her, but the glass pane was back up. She kept pommelling the windows with her fists.

Screams in Space
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I, on the other hand, have heard plenty of screams. My name is Lieutenant Yatri Selene and I was born to explore space. From the time I was four years old I have been training to travel through space. Then again both my parents are astronauts so it’s genetic and in the blood. I have had other opportunities if I wanted but I always came back to space. I got accepted to join the first team of new space explorers. We are going to venture beyond what prevsiously was explored to see what is out there.

Quantum Paradox
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. That’s according to the rules of physics we are aware of. In the quantum realm, these rules no longer apply. In the quantum realm, we begin to experience the truth of a holographic reality. A scream doesn’t have to be heard, it can be felt.

Kellek's Aria
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I'll find out for sure in about thirty seconds if I don't get out of these cuffs. It's too bad these are the newer style with the wrist field grip, otherwise I could just dislocate a thumb and get one hand free. Fat chance of that working as long as the batteries last - which will be a lot longer than the few seconds I have left.

A Message From the Invisible Spectrum
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But I heard you cry. You were the kind of girl who puffed your chest out in situations where most children would break down. But when you jumped off the airlock and your tiny, six-year-old body drifted into speckled darkness, you couldn’t help it.
