%% END QEC DIRECTIVES %%
Origin: Quintessence
Routed: Quintessence → Vespira → [2-4 unknown hops] → QEC Relay A120D019
Date: ∅+0 days [Origin date format UNKNOWN; epoch assigned by QEC]
Langauge: QEC Common Records Language
Subject: Notice of establishment of outpost
This is the Quintessence's official notice to the QEC transmitter records
database that we have arrived at 5190″859942‴68400, to be known henceforth as
the Quintessence outpost. Our ship remains in orbit and is still spaceworthy.
We are prepared to respond to distress signals within 4ly, and expect our
capabilities to expand in the future. It is our intention to remain here for up
to 50 years. Our crew consists of 136 individuals, in 34 families, with 25
unaffiliated persons.
Our destination is a dwarf planet, 966km in diameter. It caught our interest
from 37ly, as it transited 5190″859942 and showed spectral signatures of heavy
metals, which we intend to mine for expanding our ships and for possible trade
in the future. However, upon our arrival we have discovered previous signs of
inhabitation. We believe the previous tenants were interstellar in origin, as
there are no such signs in the large bodies of the system, which we are still
cataloguing. We will forward our findings to the QEC records database when we
have completed our survey of the system.
We have established a small archaeology team which will investigate the remains
of previous habitation. Our mining crew will begin work as planned on areas
which are deemed unlikely to have useful archaeological evidence.

hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive,
irrevocable license to exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material

or different terms or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological
Measures to, the Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the Licensed
Rights by any recipient of the Licensed Material.

as permission to assert or imply that You are, or that Your use of the Licensed
Material is, connected with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status
by, the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as provided in

not to assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited extent necessary
to allow You to exercise the Licensed Rights, but not otherwise.
2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public License.
3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to collect royalties
from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, whether directly or through

reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of
the database;
b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents in
a database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the database
in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its individual contents)
is Adapted Material, including for purposes of Section 3(b); and
c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all or
a substantial portion of the contents of the database.

the Licensor offers the Licensed Material as-is and as-available, and makes

warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement,

or use of the Licensed Material, even if the Licensor has been advised of
the possibility of such losses, costs, expenses, or damages. Where a limitation
of liability is not allowed in full or in part, this limitation may not apply
to You.
c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above
shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely
approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability.
Section 6 Term and Termination.
a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar Rights
licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with this Public License, then
Your rights under this Public License terminate automatically.
b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under Section
6(a), it reinstates:
1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is cured
within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or
2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
c. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right
the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this Public
License.
d. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material
under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed Material
at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this Public License.

a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms or
conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.

of the Licensed Material that could lawfully be made without permission under
this Public License.

unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the minimum extent necessary
to make it enforceable. If the provision cannot be reformed, it shall be severed
from this Public License without affecting the enforceability of the remaining
terms and conditions.
c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no failure
to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the Licensor.
d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted as a limitation
upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities that apply to the Licensor
or You, including from the legal processes of any jurisdiction or authority.

Sinda hesitated at the door and took a deep breath. It's just
Borzin. Things can't be that different.
[Borzin on the phone as she enters. Try to establish his voice
patterns as very professional and break that pattern in how he
communicates with Sinda]
[describe the cottage, use the action of putting her things away
to navigate]
[Borzin's call takes him throughout their space and he tries to
simultaneously welcome her with gesture and facial expressions.
Let him get a bit distracted and say something wrong on the call
and then have to refocus on that to fix it, leaving her isolated]
[Sinda will want to stay busy once she's got her stuff stowed.
Open a bottle of wine, offers some, starts the pours. Pulls out
some food she gathered on the way (add that to the earlier scene)]
[More before the turn...]
[Borzin finally disconnects, goes straight into a ramble about
work and without a breath for air embraces Sinda and takes up the
wine. He'll be wired and talkative.]
[Sinda will try to match him for a bit but ... what? is she
uninterested in it? Is she waiting for something else?
Distraction? What's the unspoken communication here? What is
happening with the senses? Blerg.]
***
- Event: Sinda finds Borzin in the cottage and friendship is
rekindled.
- Function: Introduces Borzin and shows him as tethered to modern
life, popularity, and importance. Despite this, establish that
he is still her friend and wants this adventure to work.
he is still her friend and wants this adventure to work. Nothing
resolves here. Don't try to fix Borzin's connectivity yet. Use
it to throw a barrier between them.
- Beginning: Finds Borzin already at the cottage, talking on the
phone with his office, which is still reaching out for his help
despite the vacation. He's distracted and anxious and brusque.
- Middle:
- End: Talking late into the night.
- Middle: When Borzin finally ends his call the chance for a quick
embrace and rekindling are passed. Sinda has a bottle of wine
open and will try to connect with him about adult things since
that seems to be Borzin's focus now.
- End: Near the end of the scene Sinda will regret a loss of some
of that old friendship just in time for a glimmer of the old
Borzin to come through. She'll latch onto it and the laughter
they share will have none of the grown responsibility of today.
She'll go to sleep smiling remembering that.
- Pulse: A nervous anticipation. Will they still be friends?
Freethoughts: I need something to work on that's related to
discovery, searching, and uncovering secrets. Perhaps Borzin has
that element to him so I don't overload all the curiosity and
troublemaking onto Sinda. She's the one that's good at pushing too
far and losing herself, so if I combine that with his curiosity
and need to know that could balance it out. What redeeming parts
are Sinda and which are Borzin?
Sinda is headstrong and naïve. Borzin is overly proud of his
accomplishments and planning. He'll be an antithesis to her type
of "pantsing". He's a planner and has things mapped out, feels
a sense of responsibility weighing him down but mistakes that
weight for seriousness. Stress is important to him as it means
he's doing things right. But he needs to understand and plan. He
can't let go of things just like Sinda can't, but for different
reasons.
Okay, so if Borzin is linked up to things back home, maybe the
scene is mostly one-sided with him talking to people back at the
office while he gestures and mouths things to Sinda. He'll give
her half-attention and while she's eager to embrace him and make
things like they were when they were kids there's this barrier up
between them at the very start that throws her off. She's a bit
coked up still and will try to roll with it, try to get settled
and make it seem natural and like she's okay with it. She's
a professional too, right? She knows what it's like to have to
work late (though this IS holiday). Borzin seems really important
and that's great for him.
When the scene turns in the middle it'll be because he finally
gets off the line, but then he'll keep going on about his job and
things happening with him. His own self-importance will become
part of the barrier between them. Still, Sinda will get a glimpse
of the boy she knew, but only a glimpse. What will that be?
Something about a game they played as kids? Or maybe a habit he's
not grown out of even after all this time? A rhyming game?
A fascination with sports? Something to nerd out about? A game?
A story? hmmm...
Arrives at the cottage, a tiny affair, where Borzin has already
arrived. He took the attic bunk and left her the wall-bed.

tram crash). Aims M. did runs and ate that up so vibe. I have it
on my pad and just put it up. Total wicks guz that, but it's all
I got. I didn't skid but I wish hard it was truth. The show didn't
save past live, so it's ephemerial. You know?
Ezri's da sent her and her bro (who doesn't even get deep into
them). Her da is flush so they do whatever. I told her she should
drag me out, but her da had none of it. Ezri said they hit some
classy tracks which they never, ever do cause Olla says {{we kill
our past every breath we take}} which is damn truth. Worst is Erzi
didn't know which cause she's shit and not deep into them like
your Emmi-here. I just suss they played the Canticles suite! I can
feel it bonewise. Tragic as damn. Canticles is score. I'm putting
that on now.
The flat has a hook to link my pad beats into the system so it's
dance party Emmi time. Maywise I'll find new friends upside and
we'll party to Aims & Olla later. First stoking up. Be razzy,
'verse.
❤️ Emmi

Hey girl. I'm up on top like you said, riding this all the way in.
I think we'll be arriving shortly. Have you talked to Mo yet? Reed
and Spinelli were talking at mess already. I caught it on the sec
feed. They think there's something out there that's alive. Alien,
Reed said.
When you told me to stay hidden as long as possible I thought you
meant a few hours. This is getting old. I was going to go in and
bring up Jerome, but I listened to your warning. Besides, I think
they might be with us anyway. You really think the others on three
will report us? I mean, we took the shuttle, but Brewer wouldn't
call Prezzi if his face were on fire and Ostergarten is infatuated
with you. Hanks is Hanks, but he wouldn't, would he?
I mean, I trust you, but this seems a little bit overkill. The
crew here hasn't done anything out of the ordinary at all. I bet
if I just showed up in the mess everyone would say, "Oh hi,
Stephanie. When did you get in? How's the crazy thing going?" Then
we'd have some tea, eat some greens, and it would be just like
normal. Except if the doctor is around, I guess. Dr. Nguyen knows
I should be back on three and would definitely say something to
Prezzi.
So here I am, just where you left me. My legs fell asleep earlier.
Oh wow was that funny. I dropped down to grab some rations and
when my feet hit the deck I dropped right down in a sack. It was
pathetic. They were seriously dead to me for a minute there.
I tried to walk by memory since I couldn't feel a thing and my
feet were flailing all about. I nearly kicked the flood-hatch aft
and I did kick the bottom lip on portway 3. It was kind of fun in
a horrible way, but then my legs started to wake up. You know that
feeling like a thousand bees inside your skin? Not fun at all. So
I all but danced my way in to the mess (this was after Reed and
Spinelli left) and grabbed some foodstuffs and made my way back.
I took Reed's pillow, though. That one he uses as a cushion in the
mess, you know? I need something to keep my legs from
disconnecting from me again. He'll just assume someone else took
it. No worries. I remember Bukowski took it to mess with him just
after launch one time. See? Smart, right?
So, long story short, I'm still here in the dark. The crews are
rotating like normal. I about had a heart attack when Prezzi came
in yesterday all sudden-like. I thought she caught me or you or
something, but then she just ran for the commode and I had to stop
myself from laughing out loud. That would have been terrible.
Caught out by laughing. That's totally something I'd do.
Right right right. So is there anything else I can do? It's
a little boring and I want to help. What if I did some navigation
preconfig stuff. I mean, I have the old course that Sandy worked
out in the logs. I could try getting it input here to start things
off. You know I can't handle the drift math, but maybe it'll help
you move quicker once you're back on board. Or we can wait for
darkcycle and I can try to talk to Reed. He's got watch onboard
and he should be alone.
Please, Eva. There's got to be something I can do.

%% BGN QEC DIRECTIVES %%
Update-Delegation: Quintessence: SHIP -> OUTPOST
Create-Delegation: Quintessence-P1: SHIP
%% END QEC DIRECTIVES %%
Origin: Quintessence
Routed: Quintessence → Vespira → [2-4 unknown hops] → QEC Relay A120D019
Date: ∅+0 days [Origin date format UNKNOWN; epoch assigned by QEC]
Langauge: QEC Common Records Language
Subject: Notice of establishment of outpost
This is the Quintessence's official notice to the QEC transmitter records
database that we have arrived at 5190″859942‴68400, to be known henceforth as
the Quintessence outpost. Our ship remains in orbit and is still spaceworthy.
We are prepared to respond to distress signals within 4ly, and expect our
capabilities to expand in the future. It is our intention to remain here for up
to 50 years. Our crew consists of 136 individuals, in 34 families, with 25
unaffiliated persons.
Our destination is a dwarf planet, 966km in diameter. It caught our interest
from 37ly, as it transited 5190″859942 and showed spectral signatures of heavy
metals, which we intend to mine for expanding our ships and for possible trade
in the future. However, upon our arrival we have discovered previous signs of
inhabitation. We believe the previous tenants were interstellar in origin, as
there are no such signs in the large bodies of the system, which we are still
cataloguing. We will forward our findings to the QEC records database when we
have completed our survey of the system.
We have established a small archaeology team which will investigate the remains
of previous habitation. Our mining crew will begin work as planned on areas
which are deemed unlikely to have useful archaeological evidence.
