Summary
Sigmund has been called a lot of things in his life. Unfocused. A mess. Too loud. Orvus sees something in him, though, and Sigmund can’t let him down. As his new apprentice, Sigmund will do whatever it takes to prove that Orvus made the right decision, no matter how many temporal anomalies, self-doubts, and evil doctors stand in his way.
A record of Sigmund’s tenure as the Great Clock’s junior caretaker, from his recruitment on Viceron to XJ-0461’s return.

Summary
Cronk and Zephyr weren’t perfect companions, and they knew it.
They were both prone to narcolepsy and inconvenient memory lapses. They often lost limbs and required jumpstarts. The difference was, Max could always repair them when they broke. Their Markazian companion, they observed in the three years since they met him, was not so durable.
The parasite he picked up in the jungles of Luzon was proof enough of that.

Summary
Angela Cross is seventeen years old, lives out of a shitty little starship, and makes a living (if you could call it that) as a gladiator. She doesn't need any more adversity in her life - but a portal opens up over her kitchen table and gives it to her anyway.
(Or: Kaden words his order to the dimensionator just a bit differently, and that makes all the difference in the universe.)

He remembers that there will be a dust storm in the morning (according to the radio weather forecast) and that he will probably have to spend most of tomorrow picking up the pieces of his garage and welding, hammering, and duct-taping them back together. Which is going to be a slight inconvenience to his work.
