You are invited to accompany a crew of eight astronauts on their mission to the Jupiter ice-moon named Europa. Their mission is relatively straight forward, look for evidence of life in a vast ocean, which is trapped beneath a thick blanket of ice. There is one problem though... "The Curse!"

Over the past 36 years, man has been trying to explore Europa. Every mission to date has ended in failure. Now in 2056, with a faster space craft, the Global Space Organization is trying one more mission. This fully manned mission will attempt to put humans on the surface to search for liquid water, and possibly life. Will this mission finally be the one to succeed, or will it end in failure as well... or worse?

Follow Lt. Commander Patrick Turkovitch, Dr. Juliana Evans, and six other astronauts as they try to make history by being the first humans to set foot on the Jovian moon.

Will they find life deep in the oceans of Europa, will they find romance, or will they find that the curse is for real?

What are they willing to do to ensure their mission is a success?

'Their curiosity and greed unleashed the darkness; only her light can destroy it.' A mission of a lifetime. New acquaintances that have the potential to become more. Overprotective parents and a sister from another mister who always has my back. My life is anything but normal and I believe it's about to become even crazier. Meet Freya Jones! On the outside she seems like your typical seventeen year old; quirky and sarcastic, rebel with a taste of discovery. But get to know her and you'll find she all that and much more. With parents who excel in their fields of study, they ingrained in her the values and lessons of what it means not only to be a scientist but also a soldier. This is also true for her Best friend Tanya Riker; who for all intents and purposes is her less evil, more cautious but just as rebellious twin. These two have made it their mission to ensure no expedition ever goes smoothly. But what if their latest one... the most important one so far! Has a few bumps in the road, except this time it isn't their fault. Can the 'Loki twins' rise to the occasion? Can they become a missions saviour instead of its saboteur? Read on if you wish to find out.😏 I'm now editing this story but please read and give any feedback! I welcome all opinions :) DISCLAIMER: All artwork used for each chapter are found on google images. Some have been altered to match the aesthetic of the story But I DO NOT OWN ANY OF IT.

Happening sometime after Camp Jupiter and Half-Blood Hill unite. Percy and Annabeth are finally looking forward to peace and quiet. They've had a hard couple of years. Hard is an understatement. They look forward to kicking back, going to college, collecting a few demigods, and hanging out with their friends. But when Rachel Dare has a fainting fit and reveals a prophecy that shatters the allusion that they'll have even a sort of normal life. Percy is yet again thrown into a quest that is going to take all of his powerful friends to accomplish. But the person he needs most will have to be left behind. Violet didn't ask for this. She never does. It was an accident. But she knows it's not. With the threat of getting kicked out of yet another school Violet has to keep her wits with her as she tries to brave the horrors of high school her senior year. But when another "accident" results in her trashing the auditorium and meeting a dark haired green eyed boy Violet learns that her normal life has never been normal at all. Thrust into a world she doesn't understand with powers she can't control Violet learns some truth about herself and about her parents. Their quest takes them somewhere few have been and come back from and brings together the most powerful group of demigods the two camps have ever seen. Everyone knows their quest will be full of danger. Monsters will be everywhere they turn. If they forge ahead they may not even make it back alive. But if they don't no one will be alive. Will all their worst nightmares come true as they descend into the dark? Or will something more sinister and twisted make them wish they'd never been born?

The Adventures of Morley and Boots: The crew of the Leapfrog travel randomly about the galaxy in search of unique lifeforms to trap & trade. Intra-galactic poaching is profitable, but risky - like when an Evil Intergalactic Empire accuses you of capturing their Goddess, and you don't even know which critter she is! End Game: In an alternate near-future Indochina, Imperial France still rules, much to the chagrin of the local Siamese. Ratana's brother is captain of a premiere league football team, and a hero to the Siamese - and when he is booted from the squad to make space for the son of a powerful nobleman, it sets off a chain of events that could result in the toppling of the Empire. Self-Assembly Required: Human civilization has been almost entirely destroyed by a catastrophic plague of nanites, but one city remains, hidden and protected by Hydra, a team of all-female nano/human hybrids. Is the arrival of a roguish, lone-wolf mercenary a sign that human civilization is recovering, or the event that could destroy the few remaining survivors? The Woman from Mars: The robotic crew of the Basilisk thought humans were gone, long gone. But when they are sucked back in space and time to Jupiter's moon Europa in 2552, they discover a Viking civilization with the technology to rebuild human civilization - assuming the woman from Mars can complete her mission. Blasted Futures is a short story collection. All of these works have been written for The Pub's SciFi Smackdown, a contest in which contestants write Science Fiction stories meeting the specifications laid out by the smackdown's host, @ForbiddenPlanet.

The earth already ended in 2012, thanks to a freak accident caused by a meteorite falling into the North Pole, and, simultaneously, the Large Hadron Collider going bust. In the future, most of humanity lives in Europa, the fourth Galilean moon of Jupiter. Parthasarathi Singh, who has had his fair share of time travelling (spanning three books, soon to be uploaded), works in an organisation called the 'Neotaxa Guard', whose job it is to keep the peace agreement between the native advance species 'Decapodus mermius' and humans, and aid in the prosecution of intergalactic criminals. It is 2050, and a deliberately-created hot spring is discovered in the middle of nowhere, precipitating arachnite trioxide crystals. Surrounded by lies and deception on all sides, Rujel Tarique, son of IUPAC professor and Neotaxa Guard member Amaan Tarique must choose his destiny, as he is pulled into the midst of this conspiracy, and emerge from the jobless party hooligan image to become the greatest hero of all time, by saving Europa and all species from a terrible threat.
