    TW: blood, police brutality, violence.Xavier had ironed his black and sleek trousers that morning, by himself, smoking to the Rolling Stones. He had put extra care in choosing his outfit because in those clothes he would have died.In fact, over the black pants, he had a white shirt, candid like a soft cloud, that smelled like fabric softener, a dark jacket that fit him perfectly and made him look less muscular. He had even folded a red and white tissue to put in his pocket.

    The Thirty-Third Launch

    It took them decades of hurling mewww.onedoor.cctal into the stratosphere to realize women were best suited for space travel. With every launch, the men from the lab sent two rats, a male and a female, to test what the influence of space could do to a body.

    Innovation

    The Prime Space Station orbited serenely above the Earth, lights from various generators and power sources blinking red, blue, and green. Currently manned by a crew of three scientists, the station was modelling the latest in experimental technologies, including a gravity-controlled environment and an energy field enveloping the craft to defend against space debris. The energy field, a faint green net surrounding the station in a bubble, looked as though it would be humming like an electric fence if it could be heard in space. However, the only humming to be heard came from inside the station...fPGone door
