General Fics

Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.

  • Synopsis: A reimagining of the events of System Shock in novel form, beginning before the beginning of the game. It opens when a black-hat hacker tries to break into TriOptimum's computer system to steal a new computer-interfacing neural implant, and ends up being brought up onto the special research satellite and offered the implant if he will do a little job. But when he wakes up after a six-week "healing coma"(shortened from the game's six months), the lights are flickering, the robots are acting strange, people are lurching around like 28 Days Later zombies, and there's a frantic radio signal from Earth trying to find out what is going on up there...
