2132: Jason Aelous, youngest son  of the Aelous family who rule the Thessaly system, has been given a suicide mission by his usurper uncle Pelias; traverse beyond Thessaly and towards the edge of the galaxy, where the King Aeetes holds a most rare and valuable resource, the Golden Fleece. If Jason managed to retrieve the Golden Fleece and return alive, then Pelias would return his annexed throne.

In order to give Jason a fighting chance,  the Olympian Court, the most powerful rulers of the Grecian Sector, sent his call for help to various warriors, mechanics, and navigators to aid him in this journey. Now, with a crew unlike any other, they set sail on the magnificent spaceship Argo, towards danger and adventure. How far will they go to retrieve the Golden Fleece? 

(This was made for the Shaw Rocket Fund Contest, and they had a word limit, so I couldn't put too much in there. I may return to continue writing this when I have some spare time. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy!)

The Olympians' Quest by yieva123

The Giant war is over and that means peace at last, right? Wrong. Percy comes home one day to find 9 Olympian gods in his living room. Why, you may ask? Well it appears the gods don't learn from their mistakes as these nine have lost their symbols of power. Zeus' bolt, Hades' helm, Poseidon's trident, Athena's shield Aegis, Aphrodite's mirror, Artemis's hunting knives, Apollo's lyre, Hermes's caduceus and Ares's shield. Percy has been 'voluntold' to take on this quest. Here's the catch: the deities must join him on his journey, for every moment that passes without their symbols, they grow weaker. What starts as an innocent (and supposedly easy) quest, takes a surprising turn as some of Percy's secrets are uncovered. A tale of family, secrets, and an 'out with the old, in with the new' plot twist, read to find out just what Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon and Hero of Olympus is hiding. P.S. Since when does Hestia smile slyly? Read to find out ;) Started: June 27th 2020 Completed: TBD Best rankings: #1 🥇~ Aphrodite #3 🥉~ Ares #2 🥈~ Percy Jackson #2 🥈~ Hades #3 🥉~ secret sister #1 🥇~ Percy Jackson #1 🥇~ Hades #1 🥇~ Quest #1 🥇~ family bonding Rated T in case of language. I don't expect to write much cussing/swearing, but better safe than sorry. Percy Jackson Fanfiction Disclaimer/I do not own Percy Jackson, that goes to Rick Riordan. I only own the plot and OC's.
CANAISIS ∞ Chronicle One: The Last Living Ship ∞ 1: A New Mission by -NikaRave-
47 parts Complete
Volume 1 of CANAISIS ∞ The Last Living Ship trilogy (Chronicles of Canaisis 1) Can a ship, born to sail the ocean of stars to ensure Humankind's survival, save her Captain from the void within his own heart? ∞ ∞ ∞ Canaisis is the last of her kind, a Living Ship forged with Mankind's most advanced technology and artificial intelligence. Together with her Captain, she sails the cold, dark void between stars at multiple times the speed of light-to ensure Humanity's survival. As Canaisis agrees to carry a corporation's entire personelle to their new colony planet, Captain Gareth Levant finds his solitude interrupted by a new culture and a woman whose Gift threatens to unlock the pain caged within his heart. A pain he's carried since before the day he first launched... centuries ago. As if that is not enough, something about Earth's Citizens sanctioning the corporation's relocation rings falsely with undertones that has Captain Levant on edge. He will do anything to keep his ship and passengers safe. Captain Levant loves his ship, as any good captain does since the beginning of time-whether with wind, sail and ocean waves as in the days of old, or in the vast depths of space. But if Canaisis were able to return that love, could it burn bright enough to light the way through the void within the Captain's own heart? Or does it require the Gift of human touch? ∞ ∞ ∞ By @kemorgan65 and @RavenRock2112 ∞ ∞ ∞ A prequel to the pre-story of #ShadowOfThePastTrilogy ∞ The Displaced. ∞ ∞ ∞ SEQUELS: Canaisis ∞ A Captain's Journey Canaisis ∞ A Shard Of Code ∞ ∞ ∞ REVIEW by @Ray_Of_Sunshine9 "...loved the overall themes within the story, and what it meant for me as a person - a mission of delivering hope and finding a new home. ... Engineering, technology...some very detailed information, ...it's done in a way that makes it easy for me to digest...accessible and patient, which I appreciate."
BACK AND FORTH-I by g6ypk1

Email is g6ypk1@yahoo.com Thank you all. You're reading my work makes my writing worthwhile. I have rewritten chapters Four and Five, so that a comprehensive and more malleable comprehension of the philosophy of the science and argument, along with the plausibility that assists the reader greatly. Back and Forth is set in 2040 and 1065-66. The disappearance of a misjudged maverick scientist in 1966; his derelict home; its purchase and full renovation brought the discovery of a clandestine laboratory and, what turned out to be a prototype Time-Machine, found in a hidden cellar. Like an out of control roller coaster my mind was racing. With this golden opportunity thrust into my hand. The time was ripe to do something about the battle at Hastings. Could this humiliation England suffered 974 years previous be reversed? The opportunity would never come again and, it was up to me to set forth and meddle with history. England shall never be invaded and lost again. Secretly, I gather scientists, engineers and close friends to advise and devise ways and means to bring about the reversal of this most ignominious defeat. Would King Harold accept help from these angels? Or are we to him, Satan's demons? What happens next? Will these Wizards from the 21st Century bring England out of the Iron Age into a peaceful, happy and enlightened environment? Will an oppressive continental regime continue to rule this land, and, if so, how could this situation be reversed? For good or evil, we must see what happens.

*wattys 2018 shortlist* *writer's awards sci-fi winner* It all started with an accident. Through vast consolidation begets a single empire bordering on the mere idea of war with an enemy threatening to destroy its entire existence, starting from the inside. Many call it tyranny, others, vengeful menace, but it's taking them down. One by one. A series of events follow, including a spy, a plan destined to fail and a desperate offer that puts everything on the line. She wasn't what they were hoping for. But they take what they can get. Once rejected by the place they called home, five estranged teens jump at the opportunity for an escape. Thrust into an unknown underwater society at random, it's a gamble for life and death, win or lose. Fast forward to friendship, rivalry, loyalty, borderline sorcery, and a second home that'll change their lives as they know it. But as the days grow by, and the game of cat and mouse breaks its final straw, blending in a world not meant for them is not as easy as it seems. Especially when you try to save a colony whilst saving yourself. *this story is/will be rewriting. [minimal changes] The plot will generally be the same, I'm just removing some plot holes and grammatical inconsistencies* #974 dysotopian - out of 1.8k stories #442 science fiction - out of 5.9k stories
