#TheBond: Scientific Entanglements
Martin and the other leads of the first contact crew regularly spent their evenings together with dinner and discussions since the launch of the mission. One day, about four months after the first contact, Amanda, the chief biologist, came out of nowhere with a topic. "These are no aliens", she said and got the attention of everyone in the room. ...

#TheBond: Diplomatic Connections
For Martin, the first contact was a life-changing moment, but the weeks, months and years after that were the most work-intensive. He became the first ambassador representing Earth as a whole while over there on his old home planet they still thought in dimensions of states and corporations. ...

#TheBond: First Contact
The following weeks brought inflation of knowledge. The probes on the surface of Rana 3 worked perfectly. The translator AI learned the new languages within a week. In the same week, the crew gathered geographical and sociological data. After that, the working teams augmented their observations with statements from the aliens. ...

#TheBond: Arrival
Arriving in the Rana system was less spectacular than Martin thought. The blackness of the space there followed the blackness between the systems. The only difference was a star that shone a bit brighter than usual. They still had two days until they were supposed to reach the orbit. ...

#TheBond: The Crew
Martin, the chief diplomat in the crew of the Rana Mission, stood in line with the others as Captain Persson gave her speech. It was the departure speech. Martin was a little nervous and proud. He would most likely be the Armstrong of his era, the person who was supposed to make first contact with an alien. ...

#TheBond: Planning the Mission
During the 22 missions before one of the probes targeted the Rana Starsystem, the Gemini project already had found two planets with lifeforms. One infected with funghi and another one with an almost breathable atmosphere and grass-like plants. ...

#Tattoos: The Next Day
For the work on her virtual travel blog, Lucy was well-equipped for excursions like that. She had two cameras constantly taking video of her and the scene. Also, she took additional hand shots and hi-res stills to be able to go into details. But as she looked at her media library the next day, nothing was in there. ...

#TheBond: Encounter of the Third Kind
The endeavour with the first twins was a fifty per cent success. Probe number one brought amazing results from our nearest neighbour, Alpha Centauri. But the probe to Barnards Star had a series of failures in its transmission module and didn't deliver results. ...

#Tattoos: She meets the Old Owl
The tree and the area were constantly changing. Lucy particularly noticed that when she stepped outside the raven's tree house. It was dark. The tree was lit by some Japanese lanterns and thousands of small lights that presumably came from all those sleeping semi-cyborg inhabitants - yet another iconic photo she couldn't take. ...

#TheBond: The Twins
Marie approached Zodiac Station inside the most comfortable space vessel possible. The station circled Titan, which circled Saturn, which in turn circled our Sun, she thought sitting among 50 other suits. Representatives of wealthy corporations of the solar system. This was the most exclusive funding event she ever attended. And before she could finish her thought, the station appeared on Titan's Horizon. ...

#Tattoos: Tree House
"A warm welcome, Lucy", started the raven. The bird which was quite large even for a raven looked into a gigantic book clad in leather with golden applications. The front emblem showed a drawing of an insect, a cicada. ...

#Tattoos: The Weather is Changing
Lucy didn't dare to move. She was amazed by the art around her and by the caracal, the most beautiful creature she had ever seen in the digital world. But she also was paralyzed and afraid. Would it attack her? Was this some shooter game where she came without a weapon? ...

#TheBond: Probes
Fifty years later, the solar system was split between huge corporations with more financial power than any state on earth. The Dublin drive, invented by Zodiac, was the dominant spaceship technology. So the company became number two, so huge that it could buy number three, Sagittarius. But the possibilities to grow didn't end there. ...

The tree was not hard to climb. Its bark texture was rough and she found grip very easily. Still, it took a while and a short moment of vertigo until Lucy reached the first branches of the crown that spanned above her like a giant neo-gothic dome. When she found firm ground on a stable fork, she took a moment of rest and looked around with amazement. ...

#Tattoos: Climbing the Tree of Life
After entering the shed, Lucy stood on the same grass plain. But here, she saw a different sky, that looked much more real than the usual Mesh projections. Somewhere in the distance, she saw the majestic tree rising in the middle of the green sea of grass. ...
