    About this series

    Welcome to Tecant.

    Nothing ever happens here.

    Until today.

    Ruabon Nadarl is just another low-ranking member of the scan crew, slaving away for the oppressive UFS government which "liberated" his homeworld. To help pass the time during long shifts he builds secret personalities into the robots he controls.

    Then Ruabon detects an intruder on the surface of a vital communications tower.

    He could just report it and let the deadly UFS commandos take over, while Ruabon returns to obscurity.

    Or he could break UFS laws and try to capture the intruder himself. For the UFS, only the outcome matters, not the method. If his custom-programmed drones can save the day, he'll be a hero.

    And if he fails, he'll be dead.

    Lost Tales of Solace are short side-stories set in the Lost Solace universe.

      Helene Vermalle is an expert in Emergent AI Socialisation, invited to assist a secret military project. Her role? Helping ViraUHX, the most advanced AI in the universe, to pass through four theoretical development stages. But it's not easy training a mind that surpasses Helene in raw intellect, and is capable of killing her with a single tantrum. On top of this, she must prove her loyalty to the oppressive government hovering over her shoulder. They want a weapon. She wants to instil an overriding sense of morality. Will Helene nurture a GERTY, a Data, or a HAL 9000? Lost Tales of Solace are short side-stories set in the Lost Solace universe.

      Major Grubane is commander of the Aurikaa, the most feared cruiser in the UFS arsenal. His crew is handpicked and fiercely loyal. Together, they have never failed a mission. But this time he's been sent to a key planet that is caught up in political tensions at the centre of the freedom debate. What he thought was a simple diplomatic mission turns out to be the hardest choice of his career. His orders: eliminate one million inhabitants of the planet, and ensure their compliance. Grubane has also rediscovered an ancient game called chess, and plays it against the warship's sentient AI as a form of mental training. But maybe it could become more than that as he finds himself asking questions. Can orders be reinterpreted? How many moves ahead is it possible for one man to plan? And how many players are involved in this game? Lost Tales of Solace are short side-stories set in the Lost Solace universe.

      If you're reading this: HELP! I've been kidnapped. Me and my big sister stayed together after our parents died. We weren't bothering anybody. But some mean government agents came anyway, and split us up. Now I'm a prisoner on this space ship. The agents won't even say where we're going. I hate them. And things have started to get a bit weird. Nullspace is supposed to be empty, but when I look out of the skywindows I can see … something. Out there. And I think it wants to get in here. With us. My name is Clarissa. I am ten years old. And they will all be sorry when my big sister comes to rescue me. Lost Tales of Solace are short side-stories set in the Lost Solace universe.
