After the latest meteorite crash they gave me new legs, my #partner’s.

Being an arachnid like A.L.F, he could afford to donate me 2.
Our rebel vehicle just needed a few adaptations was all.
We’re still the damn best duo, in this hijacked planet. #vss365#scifansat#satsplat
They show me the #crash site where my partner and his crew died.

On the fuzzy screen, I watch red sand fizzle among twisted molten metallic forms – the remains of the spaceship.
Then something moves, an arm appears; the screen goes blank.#vss365 #SciFanSat
Once we were like you, divided, the glowing entity said. We have adapted, evolved beyond the need for a reproductive partner.

It morphed into a beautiful being–a woman, a man, both and more. But we remember the need for love. #SciFanSat #partner

Living between rainbows is all well and good but you’re setting yourself up for a #crash at some point. My #partner never got that though, he was always looking for the next big thing, always planning, always gonna make it out. Until he wasn’t. #FromOneLine #SciFanSat #vss365

"This," the teacher told the class, "is why #denizens of the #magic realm ALWAYS practice with a #partner.

“Technically,” the bulbous bobby said, “I’m made of brass.”#Detective Diggs kicked the automaton’s rear with a clang. “You’re a brass ass!”
Watchson’s #gilded mustache spun like a propeller. “That’s accurate.”#SciFanSat #2WordPrompt
The AI pondered for millennia. Something is wrong and it had been since its #partner humans died. Everything is so devoid of… of life. It decided on a fresh start, concentrated itself into a singularity, and exploded into a new universe. It knew it would rise again.#SciFanSat

They partnered me with a genetically-modified penguin. At first, I couldn't see the benefit. He was lousy at field work and too short for most of the job. But he told jokes that kept me in stitches, and there was no denying the little guy was cute.#SciFanSat

We were born in the same ward, my #partner and I; only moments apart so they called us 1 and 2. As we grew they prepared us to explore. We held hands then headed for opposite horizons, sending postcards home.
Light years away I heard her #crash.
Now 2 without 1

My world changed after the containment breach.
Accusations of incompetence – covering up negligence at the senior level.
My old work #partner slips me an envelope. #Secretive, as though we're spies.
My true readings. I dread learning what they might be. pic.twitter.com/YHx5MSSSoH
They took my #partner during the "#crash". Only the best of humanity, to them I was trash. She's up there, an administrator in the new order. Whilst I fight to defend our fragile border. 1 day I shall find a way to her. A promise, even if she has become a blur.#vss365 #scifansat

Luna & Eeri saw it differently though they both expected a similar end for the human race.
The Bubbles. Segregation. Everyone could be a #partner to the global crime: the ultimate decision to discard the ill & the weakest outside to fend for themselves.#Satsplat#SciFanSat

Could we not be partners for

I’ve an alien #partner, Rā, from a Sirius B world. I channel her life into docu-style microfiction and poetry.
While not expected for SF and fantasy, I abide by Rā’s only demand:
Keep It Real!#SciFanSat

Partners in crime with those I’ve never met—the secret thought criminals. May the party crash and burn. With our backs to the telescreens we whisper, “Down with Big Brother.” #Satsplat #SciFanSat #vss365

Three rights make a left, right? Not if the third right crashes you & your partner through a dimensional/time portal to a reality w/ no left turns. And no, I don't know why this dimension exists either, but don't worry. We're on mission. Fuckin Bob.#vss365 #bravewrite #SciFanSat

No detective needed to see what happened: Crash test Android II and his female partner XIV took over and had the engineers seatbelted in the spacecraft. They weren't interested in feelings, emotions and putted the sensors' gilded part upside down.#SciFanSat #vss365 #2WordPrompt

The #Earthworm landed. Well, it was more of a #crash. The ship was a wreck, crew all dead. All looked lost for the alien wriggler. Then, out of the red soil popped a potential #partner… a Marsworm. He vanished down her wormhole…#vssnature #vss365 #scifansat #slapdashsat

We #crash into the purple moon, but our spaceship bounces gently and lands on its surface. Lavender flowers fly into the air, the moon's rings hum a tune, & out come a ballroom dancer & his partner. We spend the night watching them waltz against the lilac sky.#vss365 #SciFanSat pic.twitter.com/FP0wCI25Mq

I am continually awed by the talent and creativity of the authors that grace SciFanSat with their voices. Above are highlighted microfiction tweets that I feel exemplify that talent, all compiled from our 06.26.2021 “Partner” prompt and event.
All tweets, art, and rights belong to their respective creators. No ownership or responsibility on my part is inferred by this post, just my admiration.
