Onward!
Well, it's back to work tomorrow after a 3-week break. Not sure what I'm going to find as there were two major staff additions in my absence, but all should be well.
During my time off, I got just about everything I wanted to accomplish done, which rocks. With the books and short stories up at either Amazon or Smashwords, I can now focus on the third Approaching Infinity book. I imagine there will be time for the occasional short story as well (hopefully there's interest for both...).
Thank you all for your support!
And please let me know what you think—be it good, bad, or ugly—at one of my sites or at Amazon with a review!

Stafros Lowe
Specialist, Blue Squad, Retired
Category: F-Gene Fighter
Discipline: Lead Cloud Steps
Height: 190 cm
Weight: 82 kg
Gravity Rank: 25
RPP: 2,050
RMP: 100
Birthdate: 9,471.142
Artifact: Eternal Spring
Artifact Rank: 20
Dark RPP: 41,000
Dark RMP: 2,000
Active Dates: 9,500-10,000
Residence: Planet 815
While Dark, Lowe is an anthropomorphic frog with metallic, electric blue skin. His eyes are strangely faceted yellow-green gems. He has a three-meter long tongue with a bony harpoon tip which can be launched with deadly speed, force, and accuracy. At each shoulder is a sealable "pod" that houses 7 launch tubes which can fire pollywog drones. These drones can act as fairly slow smart bombs—they can fly or swim to designated targets—detonating on impact, or they can, in two minutes, "evolve" into simple copies of Lowe (up to a total of 140 copies at one time, each with an RPP of 8,200) who will brawl until their allotted lifespan of one hour is up and they explode. The smart bombs' explosions are twice as strong as the copies. Though through his martial art Lowe can effectively fly, the Eternal Spring grants him phenomenal leaping ability, which allows him to cover more distance more quickly.

Dolma Set
Specialist, Blue Squad, Retired
Category: F-Gene Fighter, Superior Grade
Discipline: Liquid Palm
Height: 172 cm
Weight: 74 kg
Gravity Rank: 28
RPP: 2,072
RMP: 100
Birthdate: 9,473.084
Artifact: Essential Oil
Artifact Rank: 20
Dark RPP: 41,440
Dark RMP: 2,000
Active Dates: 9,500-10,000
Residence: Planet 832
While Dark with the Essential Oil, Dolma Set takes on the appearance of an anthropomorphic cross between an eel and a shark. His single fang can infect opponents with a debilitating hallucinogenic poison. His "skin" while Dark is made up entirely of folding placoid scales, which can smooth down to make him nearly frictionless.
While Dark, the Essential Oil also surrounds Set in a bio-electric field that is sensitive to external pressures. When the external pressure is exerted by matter in a liquid state, Set gains limited control over the liquid. Among other benefits, this gives Set unparalleled speed and freedom within liquid media. Directing the power away from his person, Set can gain control over sizable volumes of liquid (up to 20,000 cubic meters), enabling him to summon forth Un Azameio, a semi-independent mass that responds to his commands and his will.

Bela Fan
First Specialist, Blue Squad, Retired
Category: Psychic
Discipline: Cryokinesis
Height: 148 cm
Weight: 40 kg
Gravity Rank: 22
RPP: 880
RMP: 4,100
Birthdate: 9,477.103

Artifact Rank: 22
Dark RPP: 19,360

When Dark, Bela Fan is covered in a thick, protective layer of glossy white enamel that flexes to accommodate her every move. She also gains a prehensile tail, two meters long, issuing from her lower back and buttocks, which she can use quite effectively as a weapon. The tail is 25 centimeters in diameter at its base and tapers to a one centimeter point.
In addition, her Artifact significantly bolsters her cryokinesis. This, combined with her mastery of Sinzer Method Projection, makes her quite deadly, able to flash-freeze her opponents through and through.
