Adriksehn:Skipper
Adriksehn:Skipper
by Fauler Hoyt
Some people smuggle contraband over international borders...Kalin Adriksehn takes that to another magnitude.
A 'candy salesman' with a mysterious past, Kalin works with a small house of interdimensional diplomats and dealbrokers with connections to state organizations, multidimensional corporations, and VIPs from all over the local node.
So when the gorgeous and supernaturally-endowed ruler of a known hedonism haven asks Kalin to sneak one of her agents into a diplomatically-sensitive secured area, will he risk his career and cover in exchange for her promises of tactile riches and immense pleasure?
Jump the tear and dive into a strange interdimensional future-noir of danger, sex, underground trade and good old deception with a smart-ass augmented human who can't keep himself out of trouble.
And like, trust no one. Or something.

1.X - Tripping Ether
An intro to the Ontoverse with Kalin Adriksehn, who might be a charismatic salesman, a sneaky diplomat, a shrewd spy, or a brutal assassin...depending on who it is you ask.
When the ruler of a hedonistic cluster of realities run by a few super-empowered women essentially commanding humanity's sentient belongings and tools asks Kalin to run a job for her, he risks his position, his credentials, and his life.
2.X - The Vestinian Cerberus
As Kalin settles into his new home-in-exile around Nyxe's capital city, past paths cross, and roles are reversed. As Kalin's fame in the Vestiniad grows, he wonders how it will affect his new 'special relationship' with the Tychabrahma. With his ties to Candymaker Holdings severed and his IDOX clearances revoked, he begins to wonder about Bailey's position on the game board. When a colleague and usual ally from his not-too-distant past shows up both unannounced and earlier than he expected, given the circumstances of their last job together, Kalin is beginning to realize that he's not on any clear side at all. Who his real friends are may depend on the motions of his every act.
