Let them in... to your heart! Jackals... or continue to be able to operate within the Sirius Sector without being shot up by my own people... Hmmmm...
I love the way its told, in like snipets, in survivor stories like this this pacing is great, but the one thing I don't quite grasp is, What are jackals?
I quite liked this, I think the log narrative is interesting, but not sure the type of character would have motivation to do so as the story went along. Actual caring being shown on the story is a. Ice departure from the norm so good job!
I kind of envisioned it as something that'd be mandated for a scavenging mission amongst a band of mercenaries. Especially once the Captain was separated and people started dying. A live log would be a bit more trustworthy rather than just relying on testimony after the fact. These logs would essentially serve as her defence if anyone went back to the TAO ship and started asking questions about why two of her crewmates died from gunshot wounds matching her weapon.
That's also why she stopped recording the log after being fired on while attempting to go back to her ship-- she only adds the last passage two days later before sending out a distress signal.
It's something I thought a lot while writing to avoid potholes but I didn't directly mention in story due to word count.
Awesome job! I felt for Brendan. Also, I'm a sucker for Jackals, so there's that.
This left me wanting to know what happens next... Great job!
Definitely the origin of a Soul snatcher cult in the making. Well done.
Had a great 'lovecraftian' vibe. Fantastic read, nicely done.
This was just superbly done. The 4:23 log entry hit like a punch in the gut.
Another really good story! I enjoyed it a lot, really like the log style of the whole thing! I think the Guard caring about the Jackals and helping them get to TAO space, worrying about them first, is really good character development and worldbuilding!
