The Conduit: Chapter 10
Hours passed, and Max was finally able to return the station to normal routine procedures. They were still investigating Carter’s death, and Han was going over every second of camera footage from the previous night to the morning when Carter was found. All he could do was work the case in front of him. All Max Shepherd could do was inform the group that they needed to send someone to inform Carter’s family. Of course, number one would take care of that. Max didn’t know if he believed his boss or not, and that was why he was searching for personnel files on Carter. He was going to reach out to his family and express his condolences, but he was still working on what to say.

What I'd Go Back In Time To Tell Myself
What's the best thing anyone ever told you? Do you remember it? Did you listen? Since you probably didn't listen, the next generation won't do any better.

The Conduit: Chapter 9
Early in the morning, as Max rolled around beneath a sheet, enjoying a visit from the astral plane visitor haunting his dreams, he jumped out of bed as the buzzer at his door alerted him someone was there. Max got up, slid into a pair of pants, and hurried across his private quarters yelling, “I’m coming.” As Max opened the door, the look on Jensen's face told him something was wrong.

The Conduit: Chapter 8
A launch departed the Oceanic Station below the gangway where Carter was running laps. He looked to the ocean, watching the boat as it roared to life, speeding away across the slight chop of the warm Pacific waters. Carter wondered where the doctor was going off to at such an early time of day, but as a senior member of the staff, she had clearances he didn’t possess. She could take a launch without going through Commander Shepherd’s office, or at least that’s what he thought. He didn’t know anything about the pleasure craft anchored a mile from the station.

The Conduit: Chapter 7
Research becomes exciting when you’re close to a discovery. The words sounded good in the head of Jonas Quinn, an archaeologist working on his doctorate. As he filled in for the professor, he struggled to figure out how to turn from student to lecturer. It wasn’t part of his plan to teach, not at this point in his life. Jonas wanted to be in the field, finding artifacts and researching their history. The world of an archaeologist sounded fun, even exciting, but he’d only been on two digs during his years at the university and had yet to find anything important.
