Summary
In the grand scheme of things, being trained by her father for a war that was never going to come seemed like the worst that could happen to Charlie. She was wrong. Now she's drifting, literally, in fucking space, with a murderous alien, and very little confidence of making it home. But that's fine. Totally fine. She has years of bitter and vindictive violence built up - and a strong desire to take a certain alien asshole with her when she goes.
Ta'Kesh was irritated when his hunt was interrupted. Especially by an inconsequential human. Now he is downright livid, because the damn thing keeps trying to kill him, and she is unnervingly adept. All he wanted was to restore honor to his outstanding ic'jit hunt by making the human pay for her actions - releasing her on a neighboring moon and hunting her himself.

Summary
About a month after Vox's failed takeover of Heaven, Baxter drags in his dismembered body through the hotel lounge. The sight leaves Alastor to wonder what has become of Vox, so he gets an idea and decides to pay him a visit. The two strike a deal, and now Vox has his body back, but he is stuck at the hotel, and Alastor gets to bask in his humiliation. Vox slowly realises something is going on behind the front. Alastor puts on, and what was once an unrequited love on Vox's end might not be so unrequited anymore.
Or
Vox regrets making a deal with Alastor at first, and somehow, things start looking up for the two of them.

Summary
“It’s quite the opposite, actually. I’ve come to help you,” Alastor said, as if it wasn’t the most ridiculous thing Vox had ever heard.
“How stupid do you think I am?”
“Exceedingly so,” Alastor smirked and Vox scowled. He’d walked right into that one.
Alastor held up his hands in a sassy, little shrug. “But as I told you earlier, you helped me break a chain that’s been a thorn in my side for a very long time. So I believe I owe you more than a simple thank you. Look, I even brought you a gift.”

Summary
Following his very public breakdown three months ago, Vox has been completely removed from the public-facing operations of the newly-rebranded VeeTek. Intended to keep him away from the public eye (and more specifically, away from a certain radio demon), Vox has been moved to VeeTek's R&D division. However, the placement backfires when Vox comes across a forgotten project with a prototype that allows him to display the thoughts of others on his own TV face. Once he sees the innermost thoughts of the radio demon start playing out in front of him, Vox realizes that he and Alastor might not be done with each other after all.
While re-contextualizing he and Alastor's 70-year relationship, Vox must contend with his own memories & mistakes so that he can choose what to do once and for all. Does he broadcast Alastor's deepest thoughts to all of Hell? Ending the mystique around the radio demon and dragging Alastor down to his level? Or does he try to act on what all of these memories, thoughts, and feelings seem to be telling him? Knowing how poorly it all turned out before and that this time, it could cost him what few relationships he has left?
