Who unjammed SoulNet?

MANTID FREE WORLDS
Well, we thought it might be Legion, but he's in the Sol System due to Case Omaha, so, when you get right down to it, we don't know.

TREANA'AD HIVE WORLDS
That's kind of bothering me, I have to admit.I mean, we don't know anything about this old Terran system.
---NOTHING FOLLOWS---
PUBVIAN FEDERATION
"Old." You know, it's so weird that for a Terran system three hundred years is old, but for most of us, that's a generation or two.

TELKAN FORGE WORLDS
It's kind of weird, yeah.

RIGELLIAN SAURIAN COMPACT
Pfft, none of them got within a light week of the edge of the system. I think we'll be OK.
But, you know, we don't really have many records of the SoulNet and SolNet system.It's kind of... well... alarming that apparently the Terrans built an entire system that can just wave its hand and return the Pubvians to life.
---NOTHING FOLLOWS---
PUBVIAN FEDERATION
You know, the weird thing is, none of you remember that the Terrans managed to SUDS us up.

TREANA'AD HIVE WORLDS
And some of your people saw Treana'ad in the system?

PUBVIAN FEDERATION
Oh, without a doubt. Just ones on Terra.

Interesting.I wonder how many records got destroyed during the war and then because of the 1% Line?
Plus, well, we have to wonder: Who are we missing?
Seven species?
That are registered with a system that crashed over eight thousand years ago?
TerraSol's been keeping secrets.
---NOTHING FOLLOWS---
TERRASOL
Is that a surprise?
/////////
PUBVIAN FEDERATION
Not really.
So... how did we get brought back?
---NOTHING FOLLOWS---
TERRASOL
I have no idea.
Remember, we didn't come online until after the Imperium collapsed. The original 'gestalts' weren't quite like us.
/////////
PUBVIAN FEDERATION
Yeah, it sounds like it's been a little exciting while I was gone.
Hey, listen, TerraSol, I get it that the Immortals are wrapped up in everything, but...
...we'd like to call The Pubvian Who Stood Alone back home.
He's got a wife and kids.
---NOTHING FOLLOWS---
TERRASOL
I'm going to be honest with you. I have almost no control over the Immortals.
/////////
MANTID FREE WORLDS
They're from the whole "WAR! WAR TO THE HILT!" period after the Queens attacked everyone.
That period's a little confusing.

TREANA'AD HIVE WORLDS
To use the quote: Records are spotty at best.

Yeah, well, I'd laugh at you about the idea of a divine being except, well, you know.

AKLTAK FREE FLIGHT
Nothing to make a true believer out of someone than being part of a miracle.
---NOTHING FOLLOWS---
PUBVIAN FEDERATION
Is it really considered miracles? Maybe some type of high technology?
---NOTHING FOLLOWS---
TREANA'AD HIVE WORLDS
To quote TerraSol again: Any sufficiently advanced technology becomes indistinguishable from magic.
Your worlds were glassed. Hell, your homeworld was nothing more than radioactive gas, howling isotopes, and blasted rock. Your entire system was trashed.

How much damage from the war remains?

When Marylea wakes up on her eighteenth birthday into a strange medieval-esque world where she can Shape things at will, she thinks it's pretty cool. That is, until people start vanishing into gold dust. Ashling is the unpopular princess of the Kingdom of Aragonia, one of the 13 Kingdoms of the Realm.

A story of adventure, friendship and star-crossed lovers, To This Kingdom Come is a COMPLETE young adult fantasy novel that will thrill and enthral. *** Hi everyone! I hope you enjoy reading this novel as much as I enjoyed writing it. I would really appreciate feedback/constructive criticism. Thank you in advance! -Lydia ***

Ten Thousand Sallys
Imagine waking up in a hospital room, you can barely move. No one comes when you call. The only other person present is a little boy, who is, surprisingly, more help than you would expect. What would you do? This is the exact situation Sally finds herself in. Almost immediately she discovers that nothing is what she thinks it is. Not the boy, not the hospital, maybe not even herself. She is in deep trouble and the consequences will be dire if she can’t find a way out. She is a fighter, though, and just doesn't quit. As a baseline human, she starts as the lowest of the low and has to claw her way up in spite of being tangled in a shifting web of schemes and plots. She has to do her best, and maybe her best is pretty good. As Sally uncovers more about her situation, she finds that she has to be smart and tough and that in this place she needs to depend on her friends, who are using her as much as she is using them. This book contains themes concerning life, death, and body functions, light swearing, minimal nakedness, and should be suitable for most. Some pertinent info: Ten Thousand Sallys is a complete novel of approximately 140 pages in 20 chapters. Around 80,000 words. not too long, and maybe too short. Give it a read and let me know your opinion.

The Awakened
Mark was a data analyst that had recently landed a job in a company and his life was pretty normal if not a bit boring through upon meeting a mugger in an alley his life had a drastic change not neccesarily for the better. He stopped being a sleeper and saw a glimpse of the true form of the world which opened his eyes to a new life altogether. ============================================================================================== This is my first fiction and i am loosely basing this on Mage:The Awakening rulebook. Naturally i am going to change things a bit but i don't intend to make this a novel where the main character goes around changing the whole world. It will be based on a normal guy discovering a new world while trying to find his place in it. Also please write comments warning me about things such as development speed or unrealistic relations.
