The Vanishing Research Vessel
In 2215, the deep-space research vessel Aurora Nova was sent to investigate a mysterious energy anomaly near the Orpheus Rift, a dark expanse far beyond the edge of known human-explored space. The anomaly emitted signals that fluctuated in patterns too complex for any known physics. The crew of twelve, led by Captain Selara Vey, included astrophysicists, engineers, and a xenopsychologist, Dr. Ilias Cortez, tasked with monitoring the psychological effects of prolonged exposure to the anomaly.

Chapter 4: Hallowed Grounds. Content Warning.
January 17, 2598 | 4:58 a.m. Wednesday early morning Maidwick Woods, a section of the country that Andromeda Morganite has no sway over. Though she has attempted several times to take control of it. Just not recently from what I can see. There is not too much known about the woods, except it can and is often used as a safe haven for those who cannot find anywhere safe to go. That's a comforting thought. Plus, if it is where the quartet is hiding, that would make things easier. To put it elegantly, Maidwick is the biggest lead we've had in weeks. It all started with Mors remembering the words of a mad man. Except I do not think Valo is a mad man in the literal sense. I have my suspicions on whether or not Valo being captured was part of the plan all along. Between the traveling, research, talking, and resting between, I got to think long and hard about what Mors had stated alongside the what I found in the articles. Something wasn't adding up. These four were smart enough to know it was a trap. I realize that it could be a case that they wanted to save the bait, as it were. However, what if there is more to it? I find it hard to believe that Valo didn't know what Sorina is. In fact, I would be surprised if she hadn't told Noe and Lorcan as well. She was never one to hide that part of her with people she trusted. She was utterly too trusting. Then again, so was I once upon a time. That has changed. For her though? It could have been an asset. I have no solid proof, yet. However, it is possible that they planned a counter. What is better than capturing your enemy? Making them think you have been beaten. Using Sorina, they could easily have someone act as a dead body to be carried into the building. Valo being captured would give them another option of gathering intel on Morganite's organization. Of course the wounds would have not completely been part of the plan, but it might have been welcomed to really bring everything together. To make it seem as if their counter wasn't planned. Telling Mors about Maidwick would have been a tactic of gathering a formidable ally. Him having an invite is a good thing. Meaning they at least want to open up a conversation. Let's hope they are willing to speak with me as well. I am putting a lot of faith in Sorina's memory of me being her friend. That could backfire on me somehow. We will see in due time. The last time I wrote in this journal was eleven days ago. It is amazing how fast time can slip by when you are planning and researching to assist the future of mankind. Granted, it isn't all that had transpired. No. There is much more. In fact Mors is officially living in my apartment with Orion and Damaris Blackwell's blessing. Though I think they may start making me pay rent. For a while they said that payment in the form of protection was enough. I fear I am officially pushing my luck.

The Eerie Enigma of Appalachia: Where Legends Whisper and Shadows Dance
Picture this: it’s a warm June evening in 1969, and a six-year-old boy named Dennis Martin is giggling, darting through the tall grass of a meadow in the Great Smoky Mountains, playing a game of hide-and-seek with his family. The sun is dipping low, casting golden rays over Spence Field, a sprawling 200-acre meadow perched nearly 5,000 feet above sea level. His bright red shirt flashes as he ducks behind a bush, planning to jump out and scare the adults. But then… he’s gone. Just like that. No sound, no trace, no clue. Dennis vanishes, sparking one of the largest search operations in National Park Service history. And here’s the kicker: his disappearance is just the tip of the iceberg in a region that seems to hum with mystery. Welcome to Appalachia, where the mountains don’t just hold secrets-they weave them into the very air you breathe.

The Ghost in My Smart Home
It started with a flickering light. My smart home hub, a sleek orb named Aura, had been my lifeline since I moved into my Portland fixer-upper in early 2025. Single, 29, and drowning in student loans, I’d snagged the house cheap – a steal, the realtor swore, despite its creaky floors and rumors of a "tragic past." Aura controlled everything: lights, thermostat, locks, even my coffee maker. "Hey, Aura, set the vibe," I’d say, and it’d dim the LEDs to cozy, queue my lo-fi playlist, and brew a latte. I was living the millennial dream, or so I thought.
