We cut the dead out of the machinery. Then the walls started breathing. | Military Sci-Fi Infantry Story for Sleep (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On a deep brine extraction colony, crushing pressure and failing infrastructure have turned the lower galleries into flooding death traps. Staff Sergeant Thorne and a combat engineer squad enter to manually override Floodgate Manifold Theta-9 and prevent the lower shelf from being submerged. They deploy through pressure locks to cut through salt-crusted floodgates, but the corridors are already infested by the Hollows—an alien organism that converts human bodies and metal infrastructure into chi
We trusted the captive. Then the alien used our trust to map the base and puppet our squad. | Military Sci-Fi Infantry Story for Sleep (opens the original)

On Keld-7, a frozen, collapsing black-budget cryogenic outpost built inside a moon, failing pressure seals and extreme cold have made the facility deadly. Fireteam Fury-Seven, an enhanced human squad, enters to recover cryo-tanks, genetic archives, and suspended personnel from Black Site Delta. An Ascendancy theocratic operative named Teyla is held captive inside, and bio-organic alien siege organisms called Sentinels anchor themselves at infrastructure junctions, seeding dormant larvae into the
We trusted the bio-monitors. Then the organism used our flatlined friends to walk its traps into our formation. | Military Sci-Fi Infantry Story for Sleep (opens the original)

On the decommissioned Charybdis Anchor deep-sea platform, a flooded and spore-infested interior has become a breeding ground for a parasitic organism that hijacks human neural tissue and suit systems. The surviving members of the 7th Recon descend the vertical shaft known as the Spine to leave their fallen sergeant's tags at the bottom moon pool. But the organism has already infiltrated their ranks, puppeting compromised crew to deploy armored ambush forms directly into the squad's formation. Th
We fired a pulse to sterilize the worms. Then the seafloor liquefied under the last survivor. | Military Sci-Fi Infantry Story for Sleep (opens the original)

On the Kethys Refinery, a 2,800-meter deep-ocean extraction facility, a buried infestation has compromised the pressure hull and infected the crew. A three-soldier calibration team descends to the exterior gantry to manually realign damaged transformer coils and trigger an electromagnetic pulse that will sterilize the Trench Worms. The Trench Worms are four-meter burrowers that fluidize solid seafloor sediment into slurry, sinking targets before pinning and dismembering them in absolute darkness
We bunched up to hold the line. Then the walls spat foam and cemented us to the floor. | Military Sci-Fi Infantry Story for Sleep (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On Bone Vault Seven, a hollowed-out asteroid cryo-vault in zero-g, a corporate biological storage facility has been compromised by an alien root-network. A corporate extraction team and a civilian consultant enter the frozen tunnels to retrieve valuable biological patent samples, while dormant predators called Glowkites cling to the upper structures. The extreme cold keeps the network dormant in the walls, but the squad's combined body heat triggers a flash-biological quorum, causing the creatur
