Steel DoorThis is the fourth part of an adventure series where YOU determine the next step in the story. Read Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. Voting ends on Saturday night. In Part 3, the vote was almost a landslide to stand and fight the demon. Good luck, Gang! You decide to run for the workbench. On your way, you grab Tankwald by the collar and drag him with you. Still paralyzed by fear, he stumbles backward, his eyes locked on the demon taking up the entire doorway. You grab one of the black gauge-and-needle contraptions from the bench and sling the strap over your shoulder. As you’re reaching for one of the silver rings hanging on the pegboard, a memory from your short time in basic training flitters through your mind: words have power.
You grab a small black book from the tall stack, flip it open, and shove it into Tankwald’s hands. “Read,” you hiss.

Pin Cushion Welcome back to another episode of science fiction pinups, the monthly segment where I reveal my ancient age by featuring old and obscure characters you've probably never heard of but really should know. In related news, get off my lawn. If this is your first time to the site, welcome! There are more pinups every month, and you can find other humor and satire in the other categories. At the moment, we're running a Choose Your Own Adventure-style story where you choose the next step. It isn't comedy, but it is exciting. And, of course, you're welcome to join in the fun. So stick around! If you like what you see and want a little more, I also wrote a bestselling comic urban fantasy novel. And now, without further ado, let's announce the pinups!

Metal Box Jen's note: Gang, I'm so sorry for interrupting the schedule and posting this a week late. The truth is, there's a lot of things happening in my professional life right now and I just couldn't get this wrapped up last week. Work has calmed down a bit so we should be back to the regular schedule. I apologize for the delay. Voting will end on Saturday night and I'll be sure to get pinups done this weekend for your nerdy pleasure. This is the first part of an adventure series where YOU determine the next step in the story. Read Part 1 and Part 2. You know there’s no way you can drag Tankwald back into the emergency shaft without one of you falling to your death. The only way for you to escape is to run for it.

Laser EyeThis is the first part of an adventure series where YOU determine the next step in the story. Read Part 1. Last time, you were given the choice to head southeast to the armory and medical floors or northwest to the helipad. The vote was nearly a landslide to head southeast. Southwest: 11 votes
Northwest: 6 votes So let's get to it! You decide to head southeast, toward the armory and garage. A nagging feeling in the back of your mind tells you this is the wrong move, but you’re pretty cut up from the lab explosion---a stop at the medical floor sounds good too.
