Children of the Shadows - The Manticore
Years by Kara
This is the story of the Children
of the Shadows, before the great escape of '09. This is how they became
soldiers, and how those soldiers fought to become human again.
The Ice Palace by Rach L
A
*dark* interpretation of how things could have turned out if Max and the others
had not escaped from the Manticore facility. "Only when spring comes, it'll
melt. Only then the ice palace will fall."
A Still, Small Voice by Brin
Ever wonder what it's like in psy-ops? Syl can tell you.
After shooting the crow boy in the woods, Syl is sent there... and it'll change
her forever.
What the Mind Can Conceive by Sorrow
The basement of Manticore is a living catacomb for the lost
soldiers. The ones who didn't measure up, who didn't fit the mould. Within one
concrete cage lives a small boy, dragged away from his unit because he wasn't
strong enough to make the grade. Most thought that he had been executed and
autopsied. But for the sake of fan fiction, let's just say they were wrong. This
is his story...
