This is the log of Captain Kane, containing his journey, and his AI companion named Emerson, through space. Kane tries to scratch out a living in this vast ocean, and will take whatever means he likes to do so.
In his vastly empty region of space, there is very little organic life, or at least of complex organic life. Instead, the majority of life there is AI, though rudimentary. Even rudimentary AI can pose a threat, however.
Will Kane and Emerson survive? Will they endure and prosper?

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
This story is based on a save file in the game Space Engineers (which is owned by KeenSoftwareHouse, who reserves all rights in graphics, title of game, and all content of the game). Spoiler alert, Captain Kane is myself #ShamelessPlug.
Now, the save file has a lot of mods installed (however, the majority of vessels will not use them), so if you play the game and don't know what I mean, comment/message and I'll explain further. Why? Because I'm going to be writing it as if it was real, as if I am really in that universe.
COMMENTS ARE WELCOME. Whether it's general conversation with the character, or questions about certain aspects, or constructive criticism, please comment. While I am writing this for myself, I want to tell this story in an interesting way, and want you to enjoy it.
Story is back on! Unfortunately, all my saves disappeared (I should've backed them up in the cloud). So, if the continuation seems a bit....off, that would be why. I'll try to smooth into this new chapter as best I can.

System: Transcending Happiness (BoyxBoy)
(WARNING: Don't read if you're going to complain there isn't a warning when there's sex, gore, et c. This is a very ADULT novel and as such only ADULTS should read it. Or 'Children' mature enough to read without commenting nonsense.) Jia Yi Ruogang was one of the leading experts in Computer Software, to the extent that everyone believed he was a computer. New Age Government Office had issued him a Pass to go ahead and Hack into systems as he saw fit because of how much Humanity relied on his expertise. Jia Yi was given an arranged marriage with the strongest General leading Humanity in the pursuit of exterminating all the Vrahqs, alien lifeforms, that attacked them. Sadly, someone was livid that the man he loved was being forced to marry another who he thought was 'weak'. In the end, Jia Yi was murdered inside of his Workstation while he attempted to recode a software that could've made fighting the Aliens easier. When Jia Yi opens his eyes there's a man discussing with him how much of a waste it would be for him to die; next thing he knows he's World Hopping. I must make everyone happy? How do I accomplish that? You want me to make that vindictive backstabber happy? Dream on. Wait, why are these two incessentally bothering me?

Ace in the Hole
It is the 33rd century, war still rages endlessly, and amongst the stars humanity remains fractured. The Galactic Empire, forged on the carcass of the old Republic, persists with its conquest for complete and unparalleled domination over the vast reaches of the cosmos, and to purge that which they see unfit as they spread their perversion of what the Republic once stood for. While independent rebel forces with their minuscule manpower each push back against The Emperor's cruel regime with all their might, they suffer tremendous casualties and are executed with exceptional cruelty. This new spark of a Galactic Civil War has already lit a fire too big to quell now, and will only get stronger. The Empire already has torn apart countless star systems, the inhabitants either joining the untold billions of the Empire, or being crushed under their heel. To be a man in such times is to live in fear, fear of the unchanging cruelty from the Emperor's iron fist, fear of stepping out of line. There is little hope in the midst of the scent of death and the cruel laughter of Imperial Officers, yet many hold on. Meanwhile in a distant and quiet forest of Kashyyyk, unscorched by blaster fire, a surviving Jedi and her family resides. Soon however, that will change, as the Empire has located the family. A young child known as Rosetta Carmine, child of the hunted Jedi, resides in a shack in a Wookie village unaware of how drastically this day will change the trajectory of her life, and the galaxy as a whole. Act 1 is very heavily influenced by The Force Unleashed 1 Act 2 is still in development (Descriptions will be updated as more is written, there will also be a lot of revisions bc I'm always changing shit so my apologies for that. Everything in this story is subject to change)
Honkai Impact 3: Noah's Ark
ON INDEFINITE HIATUS 《■ □ ■ □》 Six. That was the number of months that had passed since Noah came to Saint Freya as a Valkyrie. He had no memories of his past. He was found in an abandoned laboratory with nothing to call his own but his name. All he had was an internal drive, a single command to fight for the future of humanity, and a gift. He was given a natural Stigmata--the mark of those who can fight against the Honkai without succumbing to the unique form of radiation that nature's envoy employs along with summoning a host of inorganic monsters and natural disasters into the world. He had already passed A-rank and could finish college-level exams with ease, but he could not work with others. He had already been sent to quite a few subjugations for high-level threats. He was sure that only a life of fighting solo had awaited him. That was until he was transferred to the Fifth platoon under the wing of Lieutenant Commander Murata Himeko, where he met Kiana, Mei, Bronya, and so many others that allowed him to feel...human. He found himself longing for more of the leisurely days, but as fate would have it, the very people who changed his life were destined to be the center of a storm. -------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fanfiction. Honkai Impact 3 and its elements apart from my original work belong to MiHoYo. Just know that some things here will be my headcanon, as well as original elements. Cover c/o canva.com, but I got the Schicksal logo from google. I also made a variant that was my art, but this looks better. I might change several things later on, just like this synopsis or Tank-type to Chariot Beast. So in the meantime, please enjoy it.Complete
