Space Juice: Chapter 34 – Rhonda and her rosemary perfume cloud
Dan WildPrevious Chapter.. Chuck Marley plunged down the stairs next to the lift. The thudding door reverberated behind him. He could now barely hear the alarm.

Space Juice: Chapter 33 – Move over Cretan Special Forces
Dan WildPrevious Chapter.. Chuck Marley approached the door panel. He pushed the button below the palm scanner. “Authorisation required.”“This is an emergency!“Authorisation required.” Rothball Hazard must have overridden the emergency sequence for this room. He held his palm to the scanner. Nothing happened. He needed to get out of here. Being stuck inside an executive suite …

Space Juice: Chapter 32 – Hazardous bouncing head
Dan WildPrevious Chapter.. Sensing the forcefield down, Nexus stumbled forward into the Zorgon throng. He was not going to lie down like a good dog. He opened his jaws and howled.

Space Juice: Chapter 31 – Commando Marley
Dan WildPrevious Chapter.. Marley got down on one knee, ready to unleash more slugs from the arm-gun. The mad scientist pointed at him in grim satisfaction. “Ah!

Space Juice: Chapter 30 – The Conductor
Dan WildPrevious Chapter.. As with all peaceful protests, the act of protesting eventually becomes tiring, with the endless chanting of “What do we want? Stop the whatever it is! When do we want it?

Space Juice: Chapter 29 – Sweet Executive
Dan WildPrevious Chapter.. “Level 50 please,” he said to the lift speaker.“You want level 50?” A sonorous voice sounded.“Yes, 50 please.”“Are you sure?”“Quite sure. 50!” “Only authorised personnel are allowed access to 50.” “I am authorised. I’m a muffin man!”“Yes sorry, of course you are. Authorisation please.”“What the giblet is this authorisation?”“You show me you have …

Space Juice: Chapter 28 – Muffin Man
Dan WildPrevious Chapter.. Marley waited outside the elevator doors. He watched the readout change from “Rooftop–57” to “Executive Suite–50”. He pushed the button.

Space Juice: Chapter 27 – Rooftop sabotage
Dan WildPrevious Chapter.. It was an unaesthetic weapon but better than nothing at all. He approached the Jovian Sports Coupé and slid underneath it.

Space Juice: Chapter 26 – Armed and ready
Dan WildPrevious Chapter.. Chuck Marley reached over and desperately fumbled with the ‘decrease’ button above Jed’s heart, made all the more difficult in the turbulence. Jed’s eyes rolled into his head. He fell unconscious, his hand still firmly gripped around the flight stick. Marley prised the fingers off the stick and seized control of the cab. …

Space Juice: Chapter 25 – A desperate cry for help
Dan WildPrevious Chapter.. Nexus and Plexus vigilantly observed the Zorgon protest. Red alert lights flashed and rotated on their heads, as the labradroids paced back and forth inside the perimeter surrounding the cylindrical lab tower. Pale faces peered out from polycarbonate glass windows on the middle floors. Unmistakable among the scientists, the grisly visage of Rothball …
