|
||||
Captain's Log SD2761
|
||||
|
||||
Much has occurred our last status report. During our investigation of Enketu
|
||||
Tri we discovered equipment upon the red planet neighboring it that we were
|
||||
able to use repair our communication systems. Shortly thereafter, the Captain
|
||||
contacted Dekaoso Prime to update them on the status of Malkonkordo, to have
|
||||
their engineers power back on their quantum entanglement communicator (QEC) in
|
||||
the event another incident like our's occurs, and to utilize their systems to
|
||||
query the locations of Starbloom, Lucky Homes, and the Space Cruiser Excelsior.
|
||||
He did manage to get coordinates to what we believe was the location of Lucky
|
||||
Homes, but it looks like we presently did not have any known location of
|
||||
Excelsior. Due to this realization, the Captain decided to handle the Lucky
|
||||
Homes issue himself and requested a war vessel be sent out to search for
|
||||
Excelsior. After this was done, the Captain commanded we make way towards Lucky
|
||||
Homes to "pay them a visit".
|
||||
|
||||
It was shortly after this took place that the events that unfolded on Dekaoso
|
||||
Prime took place and was later reported on all channels (now including QEC) by
|
||||
Alportas Majeston about the destruction of Dekaoso Prime by the Pertulit Empire.
|
||||
The crew all coped with it in different ways, and one of our researchers aboard
|
||||
Malkonkordo did so by trying to deduce how the Pertulits could have possibly
|
||||
found the location of Dekaoso Prime. It was only then that they realized it was
|
||||
our fault. Malkonkordo broadcasted over the QEC our current location relative to
|
||||
a celestial body along with how long our date of departure. The Pertulits must
|
||||
have been able to work backwards from that and discover the location of Dekaoso
|
||||
Prime.
|
||||
|
||||
Also during this time, there was a great divide that formed among the crew. On
|
||||
one side were the fundamentalists that felt that we should continue on with
|
||||
purging all life from the universe, and on the other were the pragmatists who
|
||||
felt that the threat of the Pertulits returning was too large to ignore and
|
||||
with the loss of Dekaoso Prime we should look to ally with others to have some
|
||||
hope of being able to defeat them once and for all. With tensions already high,
|
||||
the discovery of the role Malkonkordo played in all of this threw everything
|
||||
into chaos. A civil war broke out throughout the ship between the two opposing
|
||||
sides, but as the extremists took out one another, those who remained tried to
|
||||
work out a way to bring peace as we have already lost enough Dekaosan life as
|
||||
it was.
|
||||
|
||||
Fortunately, as those on the fence were forced to pick a side it was discovered
|
||||
that most of us were on the side of the pragmatists, many still able to recall
|
||||
the stories of the Neniigo War. The fundamentalists were then given the
|
||||
ultimatum to join the pragmatists or be eliminated. It did not take long after
|
||||
this for the war to end, but by this point the Captain was nowhere to be seen
|
||||
and assumed to be one of the casualties of war. There was a need for someone to
|
||||
lead Malkonkordo, not just the next in command but someone who would represent
|
||||
the new values of the pragmatists. That was when I, Kondukas Esperon, was chosen
|
||||
to become the new captain of the Malkonkordo.
|
||||
|
||||
During our next meeting to decide how to proceed with eliminating the Pertulits,
|
||||
I was the one who proposed we use our new information of the location of Lucky
|
||||
Homes try to contact them and work out an alliance and peace agreement. Many of
|
||||
the fundamentalists who remained among us were against this idea and stood by
|
||||
the sentiments of their previous captain, and so another culling upon the crew
|
||||
was performed. In total we lost almost a third of our crew, but those who were
|
||||
still here were all for the new cause of allying with Lucky Homes.
|
||||
|
||||
Using our newly prepared communication equipment we reached out to the cats
|
||||
and, after receiving the go-ahead from Quyst Trombone, Susan of Starbloom
|
||||
invited the Malkonkordo to Lucky Homes. Upon our arrival we were greated by the
|
||||
giantic cats that were about three times the size of the average Dekaosans.
|
||||
Shortly after we finished with the docking process of the ship and getting
|
||||
through the formalities of introductions, Kiu Serĉas came forth from the vessel
|
||||
out of whatever hole he was hiding in and attacked one of the cats. Though only
|
||||
shortly introduced, this began the first battle shared between Starbloom and the
|
||||
crew of Malkonkordo as we fought Serĉas. While vastly outnumbered, he fought
|
||||
like a true Dekaosan that would make Sinjorino proud if she still looked upon
|
||||
us. However, he was no match for the foes that stood before him and his death
|
||||
brought the Malkonkordo Civil War to its end, and strengthened the new bond
|
||||
that has blossomed between Malkonkordo and Lucky Homes.
|
||||
|
||||
In both honor of our arrival and celebration of our victory against the late
|
||||
Captain, myself and the crew were invited to the 14th Pod's upcoming scholastic
|
||||
event. Once celebrations have come to an end, we hope this new alliance will
|
||||
aid in our ultimate goal of saving the universe from the Pertulit Empire, but
|
||||
for now we have some poetry to listen to.
|
||||
|
||||
Together, we will survive.

|

Tonight we would like to share a very special message from Pod
|
||||
14's secondary communal education initiative. Our schools have
|
||||
selected a few bright and passionate students to share their
|
||||
talents in our festivites. What better way to welcome new friends
|
||||
talents in our festivities. What better way to welcome new friends
|
||||
to the Lucky Homes than with a showcase of the arts!
|
||||
|
||||
These children have worked so hard!
|
||||
These children have worked so hard! They're parading across the
|
||||
gallery platform now. As our visitors can see, they've dressed in
|
||||
costumes of their own creation. They were asked to imagine what
|
||||
our new friends might look like and craft their own outfits in
|
||||
kind. What a true spirit of inculturation!
|
||||
|
||||
Miss Buzbis is rounding up our youngest performers now to the
|
||||
front of the stage. These kids are part of the first class of our
|
||||
secondary communal education initiative. For those of you who are
|
||||
from far off lands, that would number them between five and seven
|
||||
solar rotations back on old Earth. They have a special medley of
|
||||
our traditional songs they'll be singing! How delightful. I'm so
|
||||
sorry we can't broadcast the audio through the QEC.
|
||||
|
||||
This welcome celebration goes back to the earliest founding of the
|
||||
Lucky Homes, when our first pioneer ships reached the system. As
|
||||
the first settlers arrived they had difficulty adjusting to the
|
||||
local flora and fauna. It was only when the groups came back
|
||||
together and formed the Starbloom Communal Distributive Projection
|
||||
(just called Star-Com back then) that they were able to get all
|
||||
the right resources to all the people. We celebrate this union
|
||||
every year with family gatherings, lots of food and drink, and
|
||||
a demonstration of the arts of love and peace. How lovely that
|
||||
this year we get to share it with others as the start to a new
|
||||
union!
|
||||
|
||||
Oh look, that's Georgia Strutt dressed as the notorious
|
||||
bungle-slug! What a brilliant voice she has. She's singing our
|
||||
hymn for the abatement of rashes. It's a traditional piece
|
||||
parent's sing to their youngest. How lovely.
|
||||
|
||||
Pricilla Bartleby Hooper, coming on stage now, is one of our most
|
||||
accomplished young artists. Her poetry won three top prizes in
|
||||
interpod competition last year. She's expected to take on
|
||||
a skaldic apprenticeship soon. Quite the over-achiever! Oh, let's
|
||||
listen to the beginning of the epic poem she's prepared for
|
||||
tonight's event.
|
||||
|
||||
Giants move among the stars
|
||||
traipsing in the dark
|
||||
bloody stains
|
||||
of what remains
|
||||
a bite to match their bark
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
What a vivid image to greet our friends! How lovely, indeed.
|
||||
|
||||
The festivities will continue for half a cycle broken by food,
|
||||
drink, and some group dances throughout. I hope our new guests
|
||||
enjoy the party.
|
||||
|
||||
Oh, brilliant! The cats are here. Now the fun can truly begin.
|
||||
|
||||
Blessed be, my friends. May you all find peace in one another.

Okay, let me just start by setting the record straight: this was NOT my idea.

Also, I still have no idea how you convinced the General to sign off on this.

Yes, I am aware he made it very clear my I am supposed to do here, but I am

It's not my fault you don't have a long fancy title like me, bring it up with

No, no, of course you are special. Alright, you can be -- the official

now?

Ugh, there is no pleasing you. Fine, I am Tom the military science guy joined

with the *executive* assistant of the quantum physics department within the

You're right, yes, the General did appoint me himself to do this. Alright,

I don't have time to work on this and continue my research.

What do you mean I no longer have to worry about my research, I just made a

It's just you and me inside this room and no one else is listenin-- Oh my God.

have been able to work backwards from that and discover the location of Dekaoso

lead Malkonkordo, not just the next in command but someone who would represent
|

the new values of the pragmatists. That was when I, Kondukas Esperon, was chosen
|
||||
to become the new captain of the Malkonkordo.

||||
|
||||
During our next meeting to decide how to proceed with eliminating the Pertulits,
|

I was the one who proposed we use our new information of the location of Lucky

aid in our ultimate goal of saving the universe from the Pertulit Empire, but

for now we have some poetry to listen to.

|

Susan, Speaker Elect of Cheer Systems, 14th Pod
|
||||
:::
|
||||
Merry Meet to all of our friends in this wide, beautiful 'verse~
|
||||
|
||||
Tonight we would like to share a very special message from Pod
|
||||
14's secondary communal education initiative. Our schools have
|
||||
selected a few bright and passionate students to share their
|
||||
talents in our festivities. What better way to welcome new friends
|
||||
to the Lucky Homes than with a showcase of the arts!
|
||||
|
||||
These children have worked so hard! They're parading across the
|
||||
gallery platform now. As our visitors can see, they've dressed in
|
||||
costumes of their own creation. They were asked to imagine what
|
||||
our new friends might look like and craft their own outfits in
|
||||
kind. What a true spirit of inculturation!
|
||||
|
||||
Miss Buzbis is rounding up our youngest performers now to the
|
||||
front of the stage. These kids are part of the first class of our
|
||||
secondary communal education initiative. For those of you who are
|
||||
from far off lands, that would number them between five and seven
|
||||
solar rotations back on old Earth. They have a special medley of
|
||||
our traditional songs they'll be singing! How delightful. I'm so
|
||||
sorry we can't broadcast the audio through the QEC.
|
||||
|
||||
This welcome celebration goes back to the earliest founding of the
|
||||
Lucky Homes, when our first pioneer ships reached the system. As
|
||||
the first settlers arrived they had difficulty adjusting to the
|
||||
local flora and fauna. It was only when the groups came back
|
||||
together and formed the Starbloom Communal Distributive Projection
|
||||
(just called Star-Com back then) that they were able to get all
|
||||
the right resources to all the people. We celebrate this union
|
||||
every year with family gatherings, lots of food and drink, and
|
||||
a demonstration of the arts of love and peace. How lovely that
|
||||
this year we get to share it with others as the start to a new
|
||||
union!
|
||||
|
||||
Oh look, that's Georgia Strutt dressed as the notorious
|
||||
bungle-slug! What a brilliant voice she has. She's singing our
|
||||
hymn for the abatement of rashes. It's a traditional piece
|
||||
parent's sing to their youngest. How lovely.
|
||||
|
||||
Pricilla Bartleby Hooper, coming on stage now, is one of our most
|
||||
accomplished young artists. Her poetry won three top prizes in
|
||||
interpod competition last year. She's expected to take on
|
||||
a skaldic apprenticeship soon. Quite the over-achiever! Oh, let's
|
||||
listen to the beginning of the epic poem she's prepared for
|
||||
tonight's event.
|
||||
|
||||
Giants move among the stars
|
||||
traipsing in the dark
|
||||
bloody stains
|
||||
of what remains
|
||||
a bite to match their bark
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
What a vivid image to greet our friends! How lovely, indeed.
|
||||
|
||||
The festivities will continue for half a cycle broken by food,
|
||||
drink, and some group dances throughout. I hope our new guests
|
||||
enjoy the party.
|
||||
|
||||
Oh, brilliant! The cats are here. Now the fun can truly begin.
|
||||
|
||||
Blessed be, my friends. May you all find peace in one another.
|
||||
