Stowaway Savior
The first day of the latest story starring Goose and Ruby is now live on ao3. The first day is covered by 10 (short) chapters. The story is rated E for graphic depictions of violence.
Ruby always has a good read on people and situations. So when her older brother, Goose, decides to help a Rook she doesn't trust, Ruby decides to tag along, whether her family likes it or not. After she was proven right Ruby must get her and her brother to safety and wait for their family to find them, not knowing the UC has thrown a wicked curve ball into the mix.

A preview:
Everyone was gathered around the war table, not a single butt in a chair. Somehow Ashta managed to stand still next to his pastel queen, though the restless energy radiated off of him like a thick fog. Jazz and Voss stood at either end of the table, tablets and slates detailing everything they’d found with the Freestar intel spread out in front of them. The lieutenant was posted up on the wall near the door, his closed off body language telling Delgado that the young pilot did not want to be there. He wanted to be out there searching.
“He just gave himself up?” Atomic asked, glancing over to Voss.
“As soon as the alert that we had moles hit our system,” Voss held out his wrists like he was waiting for chrome plated bracelets, “said he was already trying to find a way to come clean and swore he was hampering the team’s efforts, which I buy only because this team is responsible for a lot of previously clean ops with no detection.”
“He was also able to tell my crew exactly where to look on Stone’s ship,” Jazz added, “and that we found one of their team on her ship was another big misstep for them. Rookie mistakes for such an experienced team.”
“Our turncoat said the group viewed this job as a cakewalk.” Voss rolled his eyes, “and now they’re in cells.”
“It was a fucking cake walk for them,” Delgado snapped, “they got balls deep into our systems, sending fuck knows what back home and managed to get the jump on at least one of our captains!”
Voss shrank back from the table a bit, avoiding eye contact with Del. Jazz simply sighed, shuffling slates around on the table.
“What are we going to do?” the Freestar pilot asked, “we’re just wasting time while the UC could be tailing them.”
“We don’t know where they went,” Jazz turned her head to acknowledge him, “I agree with Ashta, no way she actually scatter jumped. Hell most our experienced pilots don’t do it because it costs a lot of helium 3 and can be exhausting.”
“But then where?” Voss asked, “none of her coordinates make sense. I’d assume she was hiding something in them but right now the data is too corrupted to piece that together.”
“I already sent a team to orbit Andraste III,” Del looked to Ashta and Atomic, “Samina sent her assistant with them. They’ll wait a few UT week and then return if no one shows up.”
“I think for now we need to operate like she did attempt the maneuver,” Atomic said as her head dropped, “Ruby is a little stickler for protocol and that’s been the rule since she’s been here: flit through the starfield to shake UC tracking and then make your way home once you’re confident you’re free.”
“You mean search the systems she listed?” Jazz asked.
“Yup, scan each rock and comb every series of rings we find to see if we find the Golden Squid.” Lila was staring at the table, the four systems already pulled up.

@lightgriffinsect, @shippin-my-sanses, @jollyimposter These artworks are made for the purpose of gratitude. And there is a text for each of you
@jollyimposter, meeting Woody gave you a good start to the adventure, but since Woody is no longer eternal and you are the one who can continue his adventures and give bright events and you deserve his hat, this hat has gone through so many events that you can not even count. Now you are the new beginning of Woody's adventure.
2.@shippin-my-sanses, your curiosity and ability to solve theories, and you are a born detective and for this Ruby decided to make you a detective costume and she is glad that you became a member of the detective club, Woody is even amazed that you were able to achieve this. So do not lose hope and move only forward!
3.@lightgriffinsect, you are the star who was able to give life to the author and Woody in general and were able to unlock the potential and your creativity is growing rapidly like the universe itself, let this world change but your hope will always be eternal. Open up new horizons and surprise many people and give life to new authors!
Thank you for appreciating! ^^

Some characters I drew a few weeks ago! They don’t really have lore except that Ruby is based on a ruby-throated hummingbird and Robin on a robin. Also Ruby is Robin’s adopted son and I’m pretty sure Robin has a wife named Jay but I never drew her. She’d wear a denim jacket with lots of pins tho.
I’m gonna start putting image descriptions of my art in the alt text cos this one got pretty long.
