Search for a Sister, Chapter Three
Dylan and Phoenix landed the ship on an asteroid deep in the belt, and with 4-H-N struck out on foot along the rough road that wound its way to Scientooth’s old arena and lair. Hillsides of scrap loomed on either side, beneath nebula-stain and the cold glinting stars. 4-H-N was in a fresh uniform, and Phoenix perhaps was remembering the pitched battle last time they both traversed this route, for she in turn had not neglected to don her backpack.

Search for a Sister, Chapter Two. Top Story - December 2025.
4-H-N heard not a word about her secret mission around Headquarters over the following days, so had to conclude either Mini-Flash Phytolith hadn’t been listening in after all, or she’d misjudged him. She hoped it was the latter, as she wanted the pair of them to get on, even if he wasn’t going out of his way to make it easy for her.

Search for a Sister, Chapter One
Phoenix Neetkins looked a little like Jean-Michel Jarre at his comeback concert, only her garage-load of old keyboards and monitors charted a timespan measurable not in decades but millennia. This antiquated array of technological table-tops was laid out in a square, enclosing a space of comparable area to that of a good-sized conference-hall. At the centre of this stood a forcefield-cage, within which paced a chalk-white creature.

Psyborg blasted away at the vault door of Ilsington Labs. While he had managed to knock out the office manager, the security guard had managed to get the door closed, initiating a time lock on the door. It was not opening up until the next day. He had bet his anger expressed through his arm laser would outlast the door. So far, his anger was winning. He would be through in another minute.

The Final Sermon (Farewell Hajj) In the year 632 CE, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ knew that his mission was coming to its completion.

Chapter 8: The Peaceful Conquest of Makkah (630 CE)
The Peaceful Conquest of Makkah (630 CE) For nearly twenty years, the city of Makkah had been a place of pain for the early Muslims. It was where they were mocked, tortured, boycotted, and forced to leave their homes. Families were divided, livelihoods were destroyed, and many suffered simply for believing in one God. Even after migration to Madinah, the threat from Makkah never fully disappeared.

Chapter 7: The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah
Chapter 7: The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah Several years after migrating to Madinah, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his followers still longed for Makkah. It was their birthplace, the city of the Ka‘bah, and the center of their faith. Though they had been forced to leave, their love for Makkah never faded. In the sixth year after Hijrah, the Prophet ﷺ had a dream that Muslims would enter Makkah peacefully to perform Umrah, the lesser pilgrimage.

Chapter 6: The Early Battles and Self-Defense
The Early Battles and Self-Defense After migrating to Madinah, the Muslim community finally found safety—but peace did not come immediately. The Quraysh of Makkah were furious. They had lost control over the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his followers, and they feared that Islam would grow stronger outside their reach. Even though the Muslims had left their homes, property, and wealth behind, the hostility did not end.

Tattoos & Rail Guns Chapter 9: Your Exams Didn't Involve Getting Shot
The squad spent the rest of the afternoon planning an excursion into the nearest zone. They only had to get there, hopefully spend no more than a couple of minutes there, and then get back. They just had to pack a lot of ammunition, some water and food, and maybe some extra surprises for anything that they encountered there.

Chapter 5: Building the First Islamic Society in Madinah
Building the First Islamic Society in Madinah After the migration (Hijrah), Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the early Muslims arrived in Madinah, a city very different from Makkah. Unlike Makkah, Madinah had many tribes, different religions, and long-standing conflicts. The city needed peace, order, and unity. What happened next was not only the beginning of an Islamic state, but also one of the most important social transformations in history.

Chapter 4: Migration to Madinah (Hijrah)
Migration to Madinah (Hijrah) The situation in Makkah became extremely difficult for Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his followers. The Quraysh leaders had failed to stop the spread of Islam through threats, insults, and punishment. Islam continued to grow quietly, but the anger of the Quraysh also increased. Muslims were mocked, beaten, and socially rejected. Some were tied under the hot sun, others were starved, and many lost their families and homes. Life in Makkah was no longer safe for those who believed in one God.
