256. A number scattered across the universe. Every time something extraordinary happens, there it is. Why? How? Is this a message? And if so, then who from?
No one has any answers. So ICE (inexplicable circumstances and emergencies) starts investigating, searching for where this all began. But they never realized it would hit so close to home.

Planatae by doodooferguson
43 parts Complete
In the empty, cold expanse of the Home Galaxy, life needs a cradle, a planet to spark it into existence. Given the right conditions, it can become something incredible - something self aware. And when that happens, the planet that helped it along might just take notice... Planatae are mysterious, sentient planets that are sustained by the collective consciousness of the people who inhabit it. In exchange for the chance to think and feel, these planets bestow upon their inhabitants a Factor - a particular ability that aids adaptation in a specific environment. Ricardia Yigera is on the run; more willing to carve out a life in the darkness of Onyx Station then return to the comfort of home for a terrible crime she's committed. Trapped by her guilty conscious, she's unsure of what to do - and how to make amends. Jasper Drift thought he'd finally found tranquility, hidden away in paradise - until his military past comes back to catch him - and the extremly valuable asset he's been keeping hidden for years. Lukas Adamas is the son of one of space's most prestigious scientists, a woman hell-bent on unlocking the secrets of the Planatae. Ambitious and determined, Lukas wants to follow in her footsteps. But when his mother hears a rumor, one that has the potential to change everything they understand about the Planatae, Lukas is dragged along into a web of conspiracy and responcibility he may not have been fully prepared for. Amidst clashing galactic empires and the enigmatic workings of the Planetae, these three will find themselves wrapped up in a conspiracy that none of them asked for.

"Our entire lives led us to this moment, only for us to lose in the end. We aren't a team, a family, we never were. We are just a bunch of puzzle pieces that were forced together but don't really fit." When it was all said and done, they all agreed, they were never meant to win. They watched as the world around them burned, a world they fought so hard to protect. In the distance, a tall figure stood with pride watching his chaos morph into victory, there was nothing left for him to do but watch his enemies perish in the flames. . . ---------- It's the fight they have all waited for their entire lives. The New Generation is ready to defend their family, their friends, and their world from Itri who will all but destroy it if he gets the chance. They know their parent's stories were the start of a battle, but they are here to win the war, as one, as a team. They are meant to work together to defeat their enemy. Ten people united by the most unlikely circumstances, five daughters whose futures are predetermined, and only one chance to make things right. It won't be easy, they must make allies, face new enemies, rely on one another and try not to die in the process, but when new truths come to light, a divide is placed between them as their trust for each other falls apart. Friends become enemies, one team becomes two sides and their enemy only gets stronger in the process. Once upon a time, they thought they can do anything together, but how do you change a future that has already been seen? How can you rely on someone you no longer trust? How will you save an entire universe if you can't even save yourself? You can't hope to win if you're already destined to lose. . . but then again, you can't win at all unless hope is present and that's what matters most. ********** An Aeterian Story- Final Book

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2021 Shortlister. Standalone sequel (Rocks Can Dance) coming in 2023. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated.
