Divided Loyalties #2
This is the second and final installment of the sixth Station Keeping episode “Divided Loyalties.” This episode develops the character Nan Gee, who first appeared in Diplomacy Maneuvers. Enjoy and look for a new installment from Knowing Mars starting on Monday.
Nan almost tripped on a box as she walked into her office. “How’d they get that in here?” She wondered.
She put her bag down next to her desk and walked carefully back to the package. There was a blank piece of paper fastened to the top of the box. She lifted it carefully, and on the back she read: “Nan: Hope these help. Hanm will be free.”
The memory of last night’s comm call came rushing back. “I guess it wasn’t a fake or a dream,” she muttered as she set the paper back on top of the box. She sat down at the desk and called up the communications log.
“What the hell am I supposed to do now?” She asked, only slightly disturbed that she was talking to herself.

About
Critical Futures is a review of fun and thoughtful (with luck) science fiction stories; often serialized, but there will be new content every day. Science fiction, for our purposes is a literature of possibility, of adventure, and conjecture: although we endeavor to interpret these descriptors as liberally as possible. Critical Futures, attempts to present the kinds of fictional stories that we know and love, in a form—resembling the blog—that may be a little different than what we are accustomed. I doubt that this is truly “new,” but it seems fitting to call this an experiment in “new media.” Enjoy.Search
