A group of five ragtag nobodies. A crowded bar. And a dead irva.
What had started out as just a regular day would soon see five misfits banding together to uncover who murdered an innocent woman and why. When her secret is uncovered however, the group find themselves staring down the barrel of a dangerous criminal syndicate called Tempest. With nowhere to run and nobody coming to help them, they must learn to set aside their differences.
It's not until they discover the lead they had been given is one that could lead them to an unexplored world in the middle of the Umbra. A world where nothing is quite as it seems. Upon its surface rests an artefact that shouldn't exist.
This series contains themes of depression, suicidal behaviour, and abuse. Viewer discretion is advised.
This story is a fanfiction that takes place in the Spectra universe by Mattew Lauth.

StarCraft - Survival
In a distant future where a handful of far-flung human colonies are lorded over by a bloated, inefficient government, something dark looms just over the galactic horizon. When Sergeant Dalton was dumped in the wastelands of a backwater colony world, he was happy to fade into obscurity. He'd fought for it all. For duty, for honor, for justice, for money. In the end, what did it matter? Now, bitter and broken, he wants to be left alone. But that all changes when he finds himself in the midst of an invasion from not one, but two brutal alien races. With a half-psychotic best friend and a mysterious telepathic assassin riding shotgun, Dalton soon finds himself not just struggling for survival against insurmountable odds, but acting as an uneasy leader to the scattered survivors of the ongoing conflict.

As a desperate bid to save what remains of humanity, society has been split into two distinct classes, nicknamed the Court and the Commons. For an oppressed population on the brink of revolution, a common thief could be the last hope. Up until now, Kay has survived by her wits alone.

Using the city's rooftops as her personal domain, she manages to keep one step ahead of the King with one hand buried in the purses of the courtiers. Driven by the plight of the commoners and the unjust death of her family, Kay seizes the chance to graduate from small-time thievery to full-scale rebellion. Her opportunity comes in the form of Will, a wealthy ex-soldier with a dark past. Plucked from the streets and thrown into the shimmering palace court, Kay must use her every strength to blend into a world where she doesn't belong, closer to the enemy than she ever thought she would be.Complete![Star-crossed [Spectra]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/351953042-256-k36731.jpg)

Will she solve it to save her pet squid and the planet? When millions of Earth's populations left four hundred years ago seeking a new planet to colonise, it paved the way for Earth to stabilise and thrive. But what happened to those people? Why has there been no contact? Are the visions sent from the ancient humans who left planet Earth? Zee quickly learns that her newfound independence is not without its challenges.

Maroli Tango
Nobody expects the Sasquatch Intervention! A Vedic text tells of ancient gods who cast a shadow upon the Earth, shielding humanity from an angry sun. Or, as history books will soon report: when Sol last went micro-nova, Mercury, Venus, and the Anye migration fleet were positioned in eclipse, the latter on purpose. Earth was scorched - but not destroyed. The event is cyclical, coming around again, and fortunately, Vidura's furry pilgrims are still living in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, the fleet is in mothballs. The planets will not be lining up to help. Two million light years away on the planet of the Unseen, a potentially hostile race of bird-folk have demonstrated the ability to get here from there. The natives will have to dig in, hands on Anye technology, with President of the United States Carmen Benequista leading Earth's ruling elite into an age of service to humanity. It's a dicey proposition, at best. Meanwhile, Carmen - sixty, widowed - is in late-life crisis. She has a suitor; human, Filipino/American, 15 years younger, recently associated with the Anye Space Mafia. Good for her, maybe. Entering stage left, the elevated maroli. Labor appliances of the nightmare variety. Egg-shaped grav-lift chassis. Bio-engineered tentacles strong enough to pull your arms off. Self-aware not by design - possessed perhaps by spirits of the dead. And who knows what the maroli are up to? Something wholesome, we hope. Will Earth be saved, only to perish in a war between cosmic rivals? Has the President found true love? Is it rude to attend a party with fighting drones in tow? Action, intrigue, space soap opera - A genre-bending tale of life, love, and uncertain outcomes. ᶲᶲᶲᶲᶲᶲᶲᶲ Click on my website URL, listed on the Wattpad author's profile, for more information.
Hybrid: The Awakening
Nobody expects something supernatural to happen to them. Those kind of things only happened in comics. Fairy Tales.

Instantly, they are the most popular people in the galaxy. And for once, popularity couldn't feel more like a curse. Fighting grudges, fear, and distrust, the Chosen humans must travel to the one place on Earth where they might be safe. And with strange new powers, the teenagers struggle to live in the unfamiliar world they thought they knew so well.Complete![Echoes [Ghosts of Spectra Book 1] (Spectra Fanfic Version)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/339340898-256-k415203.jpg)
Echoes [Ghosts of Spectra Book 1] (Spectra Fanfic Version)
A lone irva awakens on a mysterious planet, and a dahmak Vaulter discovers a strange portal. Together, they find themselves at the center of a millenia-old mystery that could change the fate of the entire galaxy. This story is a fanfic of the Spectra series by Matt Lauth. You can check out the original series at https://twitter.com/spectraseries. This story doesn't intersect much with the main series plot, but might include some slight lore spoilers, and might be confusing if you haven't read at least the first book. I'd recommend reading the second book as well if you can get your hands on it. A few characters aren't made by myself, check the Acknowledgements at the end of the book for further details. UPDATE: I'm currently rewriting this story to take place in my own custom setting (Wayward). Check out my Wattpad profile for further details.Complete
