Six months prior to the disabling of Athena's launch, seven months out of Mother of All. In jump.
The ship's intercom pinged "Joy to the Captain's cabin."
Joy looked up from her PDU and over to Engle, the First Mate.
"Go", he nodded towards the hatch out of the hold.
Two minutes later Joy knocked on the Captain's door.
"Come."
"Captain? You wanted to see me?" Joy asked, her puzzlement clear.
"Sit," the Captain pointed to a chair and Joy followed her order "Now," she continued "Engle and Sparks tell me that you have been neglecting your training.
"Captain!" Joy protested "I have not! I've even started on Level 1 Navigation studies!"
"Joy," the Captain cautioned, "you know what I mean. Your weapons training."
Joy closed her eyes "Captain, I..." she started.
"You will report to Sparks at the start of each shift for thirty minutes target practice. That is an order."
It was a very subdued Joy that replied "Yes, Captain."
"Joy, you know you have to get back on the beast. There will be simulated attackers. And innocents to protect. Thirty minutes a day. Understand?"
Joy nodded.
"Dismissed. Back to cargo handling."
Joy stood, nodded, and went out.Alaine was standing in the passage at the far end. "Engle said you have the rest of the shift free now. Told me that you might need to talk."
Joy stared for a moment, and then shook herself "Is the forward turret free?"
"I think so."
"Let's go there."In the cramped space of the turret, with the blast doors open, looking out at the shifting colours of jumpspace, Joy looked at Alaine. "The Captain has ordered me to start target practice. Says I have to get back on the horse."
"What would the counsellor have said?" Alaine asked in a low voice.
Joy paused in thought "She...she would have said the same thing, I think."
"So?"
"I guess they are right."
"Joy, um," Alaine held out his arms, "May I?"
Joy nodded, and Alaine hugged her lightly. After a few moments, her arms went around him tightly.
They stayed that way for some minutes.
"Thank-you Alaine" Joy murmured over his shoulder.
"Any time."The next morning, Engle had a simple range set up with ring targets. Alaine was there too. Practicing with a survival pistol.
A week later, it was human silhouettes. Then they started moving.
Alaine was there every time. Just quietly practicing alongside her.

The Void - Dark sci-fi space opera.
Arturius Volt:
Volt has spent his entire life in service to the Aleph Corporation, but he has become disillusioned by what he sees as feckless and deeply flawed leadership.
As he leads the military campaign during the war with the alien Cadir, he becomes a hero to the people, but now he has made an enemy of Marcus Bezalian, can that keep him alive?

Your characters don't have to start out cool. They can be ordinary people who end up doing really cool things. My Desolation series starts with a shrimp diver going to the library. To understand why that's already cool, you should check out my latest #Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dharrigon/desolation-the-hollow-drum

“The Uncanny Adventures of Adam Honey” is a #Paranormal #SciFi story by Lex Baker.
Adam Honey is orphaned on his sixth birthday. He is sent to an orphanage where another boy, DJ, claims to have known him “forever.” The two become friends and grow up largely insulated from the problems of the outside world, where environmental disasters signal a dying planet. On coming of age, Adam and DJ leave the orphanage to make their way in the world. The pair become lovers. Adam becomes a policeman, and DJ a professor. But there’s more going on in the world than simply the breakdown of technology and environmental disasters. An ancient evil is escaping its prison, and Adam seems to be the person destined to stop it.

A couple of things, including an upcoming free short story
The first draft of my Nancy Drew horror mystery novella cover art work arrived yesterday. I’ve made notes and sent them back. Y’all this is so exciting. It looks fabulous and will continue to improve. Can’t wait to share it with y’all in the near future.
I’ll be participating in the Midsummer Night’s Scream book event by giving away free ebook copies of my short queer YA comedy sci-fi horror story called “Blood Frequnecy.” Mark your calendars for July 18! 🌈 👽
Other authors will be involved in this event as well across Threads and Instagram either with discounted works or free ones.

Space is rarely a peaceful vacuum. Introducing cosmic weather to your campaigns transforms empty space into an active antagonist. Solar flares and ion storms force difficult piloting decisions before the crew even arrives. #scifi https://www.geeknative.com/239025/help-independent-news-pick-augusts-rpg-publisher-spotlight/#h-cosmic-weather-how-to-run-space-storms-in-sci-fi-rpgs
