Arctic Fox Android: Chronicles of Tri-Galactic Trek

Two deeply personal journeys. One android at the center of them both.

When Lieutenant Fact—an arctic fox android with gleaming golden eyes—uncovers a time-worn replica of zir own severed head in “Time is a Double-Edged Sword,” the revelation is more than unsettling. It’s a paradox. One that threatens not just zir existence, but the very timeline itself.

As memories shift and everything darkens, the Tri-Galactic Union twists from a force for peace into a paranoid war machine, locked in combat with a race of snake-like crusaders. Together with Consul Tor, a photosynthetic green otteroid with empathic gifts, Fact must trace the changes back to their origin—through enemy territory, deep into the past, chasing a forgotten legend that may hold the key to restoring everything.

In a second tale of heart and circuitry – “In Practice,” Fact faces a challenge more intimate than war or temporal instability: parenthood. Because sometimes the only way to understand life… is to build it yourself.
