I've been a storyteller since elementary school. A thousand plotlines whirl through my head, and spin off in random combinations, collecting in colonies of post-it notes that gather on my walls like butterflies. I eagerly await the day when I can unleash them upon the unsuspecting world, and share the twists and turns that have kept me writing for years.

 

There was a time that man believed that the 25th century would be a time of peace and enlightenment, where money would be eliminated, and war was a thing of the past. Fortunately for Jack Taggart and the crew of the Blatant Disregard, nothing could be further from the truth. When Jack Taggart took the job it sounded simple, just an easy corporate extraction. Some labcoat wanted out of his contract but the Corp wasn't going to let him go. Get in, grab the package, get out.

Soft target. Minimal resistance. Easy money.

He was therefore not surprised when everything went wrong. The space station had a destroyer escort and a detachment of CorpSec, the security was tight, and their fixer was dead. If the money hadn't been so good, that would have been the end of the job. It wasn't an ideal situation, but well within Jack's tolerance for disappointment. However, when the scientist they extracted claims to not know anything about the plan, things get sticky. With two MegaCorporations breathing down his neck and a bewildered scientist in his hold, Jack Taggart does what he does best.

Improvise.
