This is a finished chapter from a science fiction novel I am working on. It is from the POV of my droid character, Lawrence, and I wanted some criticism from both writers and readers alike to see if the way I formatted the droid's chapters is satisfactory or not. I wanted to do them differently than the rest of the chapters so the audience can be reminded that Lawrence is indeed a droid. This will only be up for a limited time.

That's right, he's back. One of #TeamOoorah 's founding members has returned with another special collection of ten more Sci-Fi tales with which he intends to tickle and tantalise your temporal lobes, or something...

Danger Magellan was never the best pilot on Gwydion, his homeworld. In fact, he's not surprised when he manages to crash his spaceship on Earth while on a search for the creature that has been eating away at his system. Nora Gallagher doesn't believe in aliens or UFOs. She'd much rather focus on her school's production of High School Musical than go searching for extraterrestrial life. However, she must confront the truth when she finds out that something fishy may be going on with the Albanian exchange student living with her family. Along with Nora's two closest friends Arthur and Raquel, Danger and Nora go on an adventure in space, where they discover that there's more waiting in space for them than any of them could ever imagine.

AtomPunk? Hell yes. Open up these hallowed pages, 'troopers, and see what this awesome sub-genre is all about!

At some point in the distant past, the sun went dark and the world grew cold. What remained of humanity clustered around the eight domed cities, and swore fealty to the Lords Nuclear in exchange for heat and power. In nearby space, dark powers swirl. The Midnight King and his arithmetic engines constantly search for larger prime numbers to trade with these dark powers in exchange for a momentary lessening of the ever present winter. Amaya is an orphan, raised by traders, who had nothing to remember her parents by except for a few hazy memories and her mother's eagle pendant. She's always known she was different though, and she hopes soon she'll discover why.

Two nations collide during a period of turmoil. Literally. As fuel becomes more scarce and winds become stronger, it's becoming harder and harder to pilot the giant floating islands that make up the territories of each nation away from each other. And that makes for a very interesting political dilemma; what do you do if you're enemy is drifting uncontrollably towards you? You're first option is to drift the other way. The second is to push back. We did the latter, and now we're broke. No fuel, no food, little water and hundreds have already lost their lives; our only option is to surrender. Or, we can preform an over the top espionage mission to steal vital technology for sustainable energy production from a previously neutral nation. Yeah, we'll do that one instead.

War. War never changes. On October 23, 2077, The Great War ended as a deluge of nuclear fire destroyed society as we knew it. The world was consumed by atomic flames, civilizations were reduced to rubble, and the very fabric of humanity was scorched beyond recognition. Those fortunate, or perhaps unfortunate, enough to survive sought refuge in underground vaults, clinging to the hope that one day, they could emerge and reclaim the surface. Generations have passed since that fateful day. The wasteland, now a harsh and unforgiving frontier, is dotted with the remnants of the old world-rusted skyscrapers, broken highways, and forgotten towns. Along with it comes other dangers. Mutants, Robots, And even the Fellow Man But in this desolate land, life persists. New societies have arisen, built on the ashes of the old, fighting for survival amidst the ruins. It is now 2281, and now a group of wastelanders will rise to the occasion!

Unthinking, unquestioning, unfeeling. Men of metal never thought to question the carnage that painted their every moment. Cold, calculating, their brutality was a mathematical certainty, but would it remain a constant?

The Philippines, 1958: long ago struck with terrors after Starmaster tried to conquer it and the Chinese developed the Bomb to destroy him, these beautiful islands have been plagued by giant monsters and radioactive disasters. On this day, yet another monolithic being rears its ugly head. But this day was made for heroes...
