Labescape Stories

Kaelin was bred for control, a subject engineered with a fragile spine augmented by ruthless technology. When the Cradle burns, and her world shatters, she escapes into the inhospitable wasteland of Ashkaru with a silent, feverish child whose eyes see too much. The Drifting Truth, an old patched ship, becomes her sanctuary - but the Core reclamation teams are relentless, their reach stretching into the broken edges of space. As alliances shift and secrets emerge, Kaelin must navigate a maze of trust, technology, and survival. Will she protect those she loves, or become the weapon they made her to be?

Hunter bears an unusual disease that permanently damaged his right arm. Sile, has a similar sickness, but it resides in his mind rather than on his body. All they have is a truck, a beagle, a cast full of pennies, and each other, but when a government facility releases a super soldier to hunt them down, that might not be enough.
