science fiction
The bridge between imagination and technological advancement, where the dreamer’s vision predicts change, and foreshadows a futuristic reality. Science fiction has the ability to become “science reality”.
Stellar Cruise Part 2
When there is nothing to do, people will find a way Rory shared a cabin with one of her best friends from college. They had shared a dorm for the better part of five years, and were now both on their way to new worlds, to make names for themselves in their respective fields. As recent grads, they had very little in the way of spare cash, so their cabin was the cheapest possible. It was barely big enough for the two racks and tie downs for their trunks. By far, the biggest problem, though, was that it lacked private facilities. But since they just got out of the dorm, and new each other so well, what was another 2 years of skirting the halls barely dressed before and after a shower. All in all, it was almost tolerable.

Stellar Cruise Part 1
Just another day on an interstellar cruise, we find some of the passengers getting to know each other... The darkness of space stretched infinitely in all directions. One could look out any viewport and see the same shimmering black velvet, broken only occasionally by brief flashes as a celestial body was passed. Though there were many similarities between the seaside and the starscape, it was mostly a contrast.

Stellar Cruise Part 5
When things finally come to a head, will the passengers and crew be ready... The Zala’s senior staff met every ship’s morning in the main conference room behind the bridge. The room was dominated by an oblong table that kind of resembled a fat plantain. The senior most of the staff sat around it while their aids and junior lieutenants stood behind them. Screens displayed ships status and viewports on either side showed the void of space in its ebony glory.

Outrun Stories #33
They creep in the night and the feast on the souls of men. At least that’s what they say, those are the stories they tell you when you’re a kid. Doesn’t change too much when you’re an adult either really, but you tend to believe it a little less. At least most people do.

6 Low Budget Sci-Fi Films That Helped Define Careers of Hollywood's Biggest Directors
For the most part, science fiction is usually associated with big-budgets and a high production value. In 1902, we were first transported through space in the French film, A Trip to the Moon, for an (at the time) staggering cost of 10,000 francs. Since then, movies truly have come a long way since 1902 and broken new grounds, and often, the bank while doing it. Yet, there are several movies that broke the mold without costing a first-born child. Here are 6 sci-fi films that defined the careers of the biggest directors in Hollywood today.

Outrun Stories #32
It’s a mid-night sky but since the server towers went down it’s never really got dark. They’re still trying to figure that out, something to do with the amount of silicone dust that was released into the atmosphere. All I know is that I sleep all day, because when I wake up for the new-night, there’s a tyrian haze of deep purple that covers the sky when I step outside and look up.

Derma
“But does it jibe with it?” A confused look crossed Nicole Zecca’s face. “I think that if we rejigger the lenses and affix the sensors just right.…” said Billie Graff. She stood at about five feet three inches and possessed a skin the color of the cliffs of Dover. Her hair cascaded down her back in flaxen locks. Her grey-blue eyes penetrated with a sense of discovery. Nicole’s auburn hair was cropped and swooped around her head like a tiara. She was buxom and stood about five feet seven inches. Her tan skin looked like Himalayan pink salt. She took the skin from this particular project on which they worked, that looked like an opaque, skin-tight bodysuit with points of flexible graphene that served as sensors. It also came equipped with two cameras, a microphone, and the capacity to signal authorities in case of an emergency. The two inventors toiled, and toyed with the skin. A skin that could be attached to any man or woman who wanted to protect themselves from harassment and possible assault, is what they worked on through worrisome days and doubtful nights. They had tested on various heights, weights, and skin colors.

Brutalist Stories #32
I stop us both and point to the man smoking a cigarette leant against the concrete wall in a dark-brown, three-quarter length jacket. I turn to her and she nods, she knows, she gets it, we’re in sync and for a moment, we just watch him.

Outrun Stories #31
“Turn it up, Billy! Turn it all the way up!” Lothar is screaming at me, and I’m jacking his HAR-D I.C.E as high as it can go. I mean, any second he might have a skitzoid-embolism, it’s almost a dead cert that something in his fucked-up brain is going to go POP any second, but I couldn’t give a shit, he wants to go out like that, let the poor bastard.

Doctor Who: The Last Post Review
It's hard to believe that it's been over five years now since we lost Caroline John, the actress perhaps best known for playing Doctor Liz Shaw alongside Jon Pertwee's Third Doctor in Doctor Who's 1970 season. Yet despite appearing on the long-running series for a single season, fans never forgot the character and the actress returned to reprise the role numerous times on audio for Big Finish Productions in the years before her passing. The last story recorded before her passing, the appropriately titled The Last Post, stands as a tribute to character and actress alike.

Behind The Mystery Of The Phoenix Lights With 'Phoenix Forgotten' Star Florence Hartigan
March 13, 1997 is a date that the residents of Phoenix, Arizona will never forget. Spanning nearly 300 miles and witnessed by thousands of people, an extraordinary formation of synchronized lights began to invade the airspace over Phoenix, Arizona all the way down to Sonora, Mexico. Although the incident, as always, was discredited by the US government with their own version of the events, the Phoenix Lights remains the largest UFO sighting in history.
