The tablet tumbled from his hand and plopped into the luke-warm glass of water. The tablet, chalky and white, begin to dissolve the instant it broke the surface tension of the water. Bubbles erupted from around closing tight around the escaping gasses. He lowered his head to the level of the table and watched the tablet dissolve, bit by bit, piece...

The ship rolled uncontrollably. All sense of control was lost as it sped on through space. The scant few controls that occupied the main control deck were of no use, completely unresponsive to the machinations of the crew that toiled away.

Thick plumes of smoke billowed from between the rungs of the iron grate choking the street. Tiny sparks, along with the clattering of iron on iron wafted up as well, borne aloft by the ever rising heat that blasted from the underground factory. Passersby covered their faces with whatever material they could and tried in vain to cross to the other...

Narrow concentrated beams of light from portable flashlights leaked in through the the slowly opening door. They waved frantically checking the room from corner to corner. Tiny dust motes stirred to action by the opening of...
