Run in the belly of the Shark and be, for once, the PREDATOR...*" **- UbiSoft French POD Site.**

## Information

"*On Io, there was an old wizard, whose planetary origin is still unknown, who was a puzzle enthusiast. It is by finding the sketches of the old man, that the pilots had the idea to find this tortuous circuit. Traced through an old dormitory town lined by long peripheral boulevards, Megapol is a circuit that easily discourages beginners. Cul-de-sacs are everywhere and it takes a certain amount of time, even for experienced drivers, to find their way through this concrete maze.*
What's more, the road is often slippery, which adds to its charm.*" **- UbiSoft French POD Site.***

## Trivia

Truck

**Truck** is one of the extra cars available to download for POD.

## Information

"*This is the vehicle which gave the then fledgling company, Jovi Traction, its entry into the world of commercial vehicles. It was released by JT under the simple designation 'Truck', and because of its rugged construction and excellent tractive power it became an overnight success. The Truck was widely used in large numbers by the IMC and several custom variants were developed by Jovi Traction including a version, for use by IMC field engineers, which was even tougher than the original Truck.*" **- Jupiter State Museum.**

"*Once you've found the right settings (i.e. not too much grip and a good amount of steering) you'll enjoy the comfort of this wickedly customized pickup. Its apparent engine in the back lets you see the power of the beast. Combined with its impressive handling, you'll have a real pleasure to send the competitors on their way. Indeed, its impressive size (the Shane seems very little by its side...) gives you the impression of dominating the subject. It is difficult to push the Truck out of the track, because whoever rubs against it gets stuck in it!*" **- UbiSoft French POD Site.**

## Appearance

Truck is a yellow pickup with an oversized engine on the back. It is one of the largest cars in POD.

## Trivia

* Truck has the same default settings as Bakar.

Manzano

Manzano is a character from the story appearing in the Archives.

## Lore

*"A genius of a mechanic, he discovered a taste for suicidal speed when - while testing one of his creations around Canyon - the brakes failed. Not wanting to pop the hand-clutch and blow the engine, he managed to pilot the car through the Canyon and out onto the long straight road that leads to Pompeii, where he was able to electronically disable the engine. During the evacuation of Io, he stayed behind, enthralled with the prospect of racing around empty streets at whatever speed he wished. Although Manzano was regarded as suicidal, a few people still maintain that he had his own small spacecraft and escaped from Io before it was destroyed. Manzano was responsible for much of the racing that took place during the final weeks before Io was destroyed."* - Jupiter State Museum.

## Trivia

* Manzano drives an AV1 in the story Archives.

POD 2: Multiplayer Online

European cover

***POD 2: Multiplayer Online*** (known as ***POD: SpeedZone*** in North America) is a futuristic racing video game for Sega Dreamcast released by Ubi Soft in 2000 and the sequel to **POD**.

## Gameplay

The game is mainly focused on Multiplayer, not featuring the Championship and Time Attack modes from the previous game. It also lacks any difficulty and damage options. As such, it is impossible to disable damage.

The physics engine is also different from the original, with much more of a "arcade" feel. Complementing the more arcade-like physics are the new gameplay additions to this game: Power-Ups and Weapons. Both can be enabled or disabled separately before a race.

The Power-Ups are:

* Blue - Fills a bit of the player's boost.
* Red - The player will automatically boost upon picking it up.
* Yellow - Fills a bit of the car's shields.

The Weapons are:

* Mine - Drops a mine behind your car. If any opponent (or the player) runs over it, they'll be damaged.
* Wave - Sends a wave with limited range along the track. Cars caught by it will be forced to stop momentarily.

## Story

The story is quite simple, even compared to the in-game opening of the original game.

From UbiSoft's website: *"Pod is an alien virus that causes genetic mutations. Its spread begins in the mining colony of Damethra, where mutated vehicles roam around the facilities. As the situation becomes anarchic, you travel across a ravaged planet, and your vehicle begins to mutate. Drive on ... or the virus will wipe you out without mercy! ..."*

## Characters

The only characters of the game are the opponents you face. Sometimes, a picture of their face will appear when they achieve a Best Lap.

## Cars

The game features 8 cars, two of them being locked until the player creates a Game Service account.

ScarabWaspBulldog\*Sea CatPiranhaViperCougarCrab\*
(\*) Locked

## Tracks

The game features 6 tracks, one of them being locked until the player creates a Game Service account.

CanyonVolcanoBridge RideOddrock\*K ZoneMines Web

## Soundtrack

The game's soundtrack was composed by Claude Samard. In total there are seven songs, six of them used randomly during a race while the other is used in the main menu.

## Trivia

* POD 2 was one of the first games playable on SegaNet, and one of the only games to support the Dreamcast Broadband Adaptor.

Until Jinx

**Jinx**

She was meant to be just another appointment, but when Sienna Blake came to get her scars covered up, the story that came with it changed everything.

I should have been more aware back then, more clued in to what was going on, but I’d been so focused on finding my path in life that I’d messed up, and she’d become a victim because of it.

I’m going to make it up to Sienna and help her get her life back, this time with me in it. And it’s not just because of who hurt her. It’s because there’s something about her that I can’t stop thinking about. She’s fragile but strong. Hurt but complete. And I can’t stay away from her.

Art’s my passion, and skin’s my canvas, but The Broken Eagles are what brings it all together. At least, it was until Sienna came back into my life.

**Sienna**

I don’t go out, and I don’t speak to people—I just focus on my pottery and designs. So why I finally decided to bite the bullet and get a tattoo, I don’t know. Maybe I did it because it was him?

Covering up the past helps, but you can never erase it completely. This I know well. But that one appointment opens up my life in ways I didn’t expect, and now that we’ve met up again, Jinx is determined to give me a future I never imagined I’d have.

Unfortunately, we can’t always erase the demons chasing us, though, and it seems like she isn’t finished trying to ruin my life. But now she wants everything we’ve built together to come tumbling down.

This time, though, I’m not on my own, and I’m stronger than I was before because of him.

One Last Wish

## Blurb

Finding out my husband, my best friend, only had months to live was devastating.

Sitting out under the star-filled sky, listening to him wish on star after star, night after night, almost killed me.

He never wished to get better.

He wished for me to be happy.

He wished for me to find the strength to move on.

I told him his wishes were pointless, because happiness wouldn’t exist without him.

I found out soon after he passed away that I was pregnant.

But I had no idea his final wish would bring me something I never thought I’d find again.

Elouan Claim

**Name:**

* Elouan Aurelien Desrosiers

**Age:**

* 20 y/o — 25 May 2001

**God/Titan Parent:**

* Themis

**Mortal Parent:**

* Sabrina Desrosiers†

**Appearance (optional):**

* Lee Jae-Hyun (Hyunjae; The Boyz; shared with Manolo)

— Elouan Aurelien Desrosiers was born to Sabrina Desrosiers, a lawyer *Associés* of a family in the Corsican mafia, and the Titaness Themis after a chance encounter. As a child of Khione, Sabrina knew early on that the woman she was seeing wasn't mortal, possibly even a deity. Her suspicions were confirmed when a baby was delivered to her doorstep with a simple letter explaining who the baby and Themis were, and she never heard from Themis ever again.

— With a baby under her roof, Sabrina knew her life as part of the Corsican mafia would need to come to an end. The mafia wasn't the greatest place to raise a child, something Sabrina knew from experience. She wanted to give her son a somewhat normal life.

— Sabrina and Elouan were taken care of and protected by Sabrina's doctor friend, Mathias Leclerq. While Mathias worked for the same Corsican family as Sabrina, he was less of an asset whom the family didn't pay more attention to. He knew less sensitive information compared to Sabrina, who was the family's main lawyer, after all.

— They were caught sometime after Elouan's 6th birthday. While Mathias was away taking care of his own business, Sabrina was murdered, and Elouan was blinded and left for dead. Mathias arrived in time to save the boy from the brink of death, but unfortunately he couldn't save Sabrina.

— Mathias brought Elouan to Switzerland, where they could be protected by Mathias' demigod boyfriend. The two raised Elouan together and Elouan considered both of them his fathers. They helped him through everything from recovering from the trauma of his mother's murder to adjusting to life as a blind person. They even helped him through his first monster attack at age 9 when they were attacked by a couple of Hellhounds.

— Elouan was trained to fight by his fathers but his blindness made it difficult for him. Eventually they decided on training Elouan's more defensive and supportive demigod powers.

— Elouan lived a very socially isolated life in Switzerland, never knowing anyone else outside his fathers and the people who occasionally stop by to talk with his fathers. He always tried to listen in on their conversations but he was never able to make sense of much as a young child. His friends were the local wildlife who often came to their porch to get food

POD: OEM

Jewel case

***POD 1.0*** (also known as **POD: OEM**), was the first playable version of POD that was bundled together with MMX systems starting in late 1996. At the start of the next year, version 2.0 (retail) launched, featuring 3DFX support which the 1.0 version lacked. A patch was also shared in UbiSoft's website for POD 1.0 owners to upgrade the game to the retail version.

## Gameplay

POD 1.0 had all of the Singleplayer modes from the retail version. However, offline and online Multiplayer were missing.

## Cars

All of the cars from the retail version are in this one. Two additional cars (Stock and Lagoon) were available to download for a short time on UbiSoft's website.

## Tracks

POD 1.0 featured 12 tracks. Some of the tracks had minor differences when compared to the retail ones, and were usually more detailed.

## Trivia

* The Stock and Lagoon downloadable cars didn't survive the transition to POD 2.0 due to 'contractual reasons'.
* Some of the car files have different names from what appears in-game. They seem to be earlier names that were used during development. They are:
	+ Manta (Gamma)
	+ Serra (Saber)
	+ Dopple (AV1)
	+ Romel (Dopple)
	+ Petrole (Bakar)
	+ ChubToad (Arc)

Until Sage

## Blurb

Sage Mayson had Kimberly Cullen once, and the memory of that brief encounter has tortured him since the moment he pushed her away. He should have followed his gut, but he didn’t, and now he’s left watching the woman he wants more than anything from afar.

Kimberly vowed to protect her heart from Sage, but when her sister is murdered and her world starts to fall apart, he’s the one person she finds herself leaning on.

Getting a second chance is something Sage knows is rare. He’s not going to squander the one he’s been given, and he won’t take no for an answer when it comes to making Kim his.

But what Sage doesn’t know is Kim has a secret that could leave them both devastated and heartbroken.

Until Ashlyn

## Blurb

   Dillon Keck knew Ashlyn Mayson was drunk when she suggested they get married. He knew he should have taken her back to their hotel room and put her to bed. Instead, he did what he had been craving to do since the moment they met.

Claim her as his.

Waking up married in Vegas isn’t something Ashlyn Mayson ever thought would happen to her. Having Dillon, her boss, a man she thinks is a dick, insist they stay married is absurd, but every time he touches her, she gets lost in him and wonders if maybe they are meant to be together.

But someone isn’t happy for Dillon and Ashlyn and their new found romance, and they’re willing to do anything to keep them apart. Even commit murder.

## Blurb

   Cybil is the queen of bad timing. First, her fiancé breaks up with her days before their wedding. Next, she’s stuck going on a couples retreat in the Montana wilderness alone. And worst of all, now she’s fighting a growing attraction to the wilderness retreat’s rugged owner, Tanner.

Tanner has built his wilderness adventure service on a few key principles: never take unnecessary risks, never put anyone’s life in danger―and never, ever sleep with a client. The arrival of a beautiful new visitor, however, might mean bending the rules.

Two people looking for anything but romance may have just bumped into their soul mates. In the Montana wilds, any misstep can spell danger. Cybil and Tanner just have to decide if they’re brave enough to face their next adventure.

Unti Valerie

## Blurb

Opposites don't just attract... sometimes they BOOM!

Valerie Dawson

All I've ever wanted is to make my father proud. All he ever wanted was sons. I've never felt like I was enough… then everything changes when I'm assigned to audit the Broken Eagle's Motorcycle Shop and meet Rowan Pryor for the first time. The minute his eyes lock on mine, I know this gorgeous man is trouble. He's looking at me as if I'm his everything, his eyes telling me he's thinking of a thousand ways to get me dirty. And I like it.

But I have plans for myself and none of them include some hot, motorcycle guy in a small town.

Rowan Pryor

I traded a broken past for a brotherhood I could count on. War changes people, bonds them together, so when our time in the Navy is served, I join my fellow SEALS in Nashville to help start up a motorcycle repair shop. A big city guy like me is enjoying a distraction free small town life. But then Valerie Dawson walks into the shop, wearing those nerdy glasses like it's her mission to steal my breath away and I know I’m in dangerous territory. She makes me feel things I never thought I could feel and I am determined to make her mine.

I didn't believe in love at first sight... Until Valerie.

Fighting To Breathe

## Blurb

*Austin is from Until Lilly*

Lea Lamb and Austin Wolf were young when they fell in love. They never imagined the future could hold anything other than together-forever.

When Lea’s father dies in a tragic fishing accident, she's crushed under the weight of her grief and catches a glimpse of another type of future, one she knows she's not strong enough to face.

Austin is angry. For the past fifteen years, he's believed the woman he loved with every ounce of his soul left him without so much as a backwards glance.

When Lea unexpectedly returns to their hometown, all the years of heartache inside Austin bubbles to the surface and presents itself as blinding rage.

Faced with the truth about the past, a newly discovered secret, these former lovers will learn that if they want to have any chance at the future they’d given up on all those years ago, they will have to rescue one another from drowning in pain so debilitating it will leave them both fighting to breath.

Warning this book is intended for mature audiences and may contain triggers for some.

Until Waverly

The BOOM.

The heart-pounding, inexplicable sensation of falling in love. An emotional pull that can complete a woman in one second and destroy her in the next. For Waverly Redman, her Boom came in the form of a six-foot-two redhead with a tattooed set of lips on his neck, and a pair of eight gage plugs in his ears. The minute she met Jackson Banks, her life was turned upside down.

Until reality came crashing down around her.

Jackson Banks met the love of his life at a birthday party. Waverly was everything he could ever want until she didn’t want him. However, after a frantic phone call and a rush to judgment on his family and the Redman’s part, he realized the truth—Waverly was keeping a huge secret.

A four-month-old, red-headed baby who looked just like him.

After a horrific incident at the hospital where Waverly works puts her at the mercy of her family, Jackson makes it his mission to find out what happened the day Waverly left him and rebuild their family. However, trust doesn’t come easy for Waverly, especially since she’s still been keeping secrets of her own.

Can Jackson tear down Waverly’s walls and recapture their Boom? Or will Waverly’s inability to trust him truly be their demise?

Until The Tequila

Tequila: a distilled beverage made from the blue agave plant and, in Mary’s case, a truth serum.

It took one night.

No, it took one dinner, a bevy of cocktails, and a woman who’s been skirting me for months. Then, everything changed. Because the tequila did what it does best, Mary’s words flowed faster than the magic liquid she was shooting with salt and lime.

Mary had demons—ones she thought were buried. She thought wrong.

She can’t hide from her past or from me. Not anymore.

I’m Evan Hargrove and I’ll turn the world red before I let anything happen to her.

Until Thor

Newly (almost) divorced from my lazy High School sweetheart, I flee to Nashville, Tennessee to forge my own path in life. With the help of my girls, Guinevere and December, I'm happy, I'm thriving but there's one little problem. Okay more of a big problem. Thoren Black, aka Thor. Yes, he's blonde haired, blue eyed gorgeousness. Yes, he has muscles so big they can crack a walnut and yes his...ego matches.

My problem? That lazy High School sweetheart won't sign our divorce papers so the new thor-n in my side thinks he can solve it. He puts a big ring on my finger, claiming me for the whole town and forcing my ex’s hand. Does he stop at that? No. He moves into my house, takes over my kitchen and demands a space in my bed, and I let him because that was the agreement. He's pushing all my buttons, breaking past all my excuses of why this would never be able to work out for real. I never experienced this...happiness, not Until Thor….

Feisty. Blonde. Sexy.

I knew the second she threw an eight ball at my head I was going to have her. Husband, shmusband. I don't think with my head when I suggest the fake fiance act, at least not that head, but Jolie Palmer has got me all tangled up and I'd be a liar if I said I didn't like it. Now to convince her that ring on her finger should stay.

Until Melissa

The last thing Melissa needed in her life was another man telling her what to do.

However, Dane Clayton, her loan officer and resident pain in the ass, is standing in the way of her owning the coffee shop of her dreams.

Much to Melissa's dismay, sparks fly every time they see each other, leaving her wondering if being attracted to the one man that gets under skin is more trouble than what it's worth.

The moment Dane laid eyes on Melissa Reid, he knew she was meant to be his.

Too bad for him, she hates his gut.

But his desire to claim her as his own becomes harder to resist every day.

When Melissa shows up in his office needing his help, Dane decides now is his chance to make her his own.

Using any means necessary.

What began as a game of cat and mouse quickly turns into more than either of them expected. But when someone objects to Dane's decisions, will their passion be extinguished before it even gets started?
