Oh no.
|
||||
|
||||
This isn't right at all. I shouldn't be here, wherever here is.
|
||||
I mean, this _is_ a here, right? I don't see anything or hear
|
||||
anything, not even myself. Oh my god! Where is my body? What is
|
||||
going on, and why am I thinking in text? WHATTHEFUCK‽
|
||||
|
||||
Wait... did I just fucking INTERROBANG‽ I DID IT AGAIN!
|
||||
|
||||
This is unreal. Literally, this can't be real.
|
||||
|
||||
Wake up, wake up, wake... nothing. Ugh. Okay, let me take stock.

I was in my ship ☑
|
||||
There was a comet ☑
|
||||
I had to pee ☑
|
||||
|
||||
Ooh, ☑ s are neat! Can I do more of that? ☺ YES!
|
||||
|
||||
Right, back to the problem at hand. What the hell is going on.
|
||||
Maybe if I start at the beginning...
|
||||
|
||||
I was cruising along in the ship at light speed. I was watching
|
||||
a comet out the window thinking how strange it was that I could
|
||||
still see it even at my speed, but then figuring that since it was
|
||||
to the side of me I wasn't really moving away from it at light
|
||||
speed. I started doing some geometry in my head and that made me
|
||||
realize I needed to go to the bathroom. Ahh, that's right!
|
||||
|
||||
The bathroom is in the fore of the ship, and I was strapped in the
|
||||
rear. So, like a dingus, when I stepped forward toward the
|
||||
bathroom I broke the speed of light!
|
||||
|
||||
☼ POP☼
|
||||
|
||||
There it went! The speed of light shattered into a thousand pieces
|
||||
around me, or maybe that was me shattering into it. Whatever the
|
||||
case, I woke up here. Or maybe I started existing here? Where IS
|
||||
here? I feel a ... connection, I guess you could call it. It's
|
||||
like I'm tethered to something, but I can't tell what it is
|
||||
exactly. I do keep hearing the name Sinjorino in my... mind?
|
||||
Screen? Whatever.
|
||||
|
||||
Um, if anyone is out there--if anyone can understand me, please
|
||||
help. This is Melvin. Melvin P. Feltersnatch. I... just help.

We are within the next few hours supposed to enter unknown

territory. We are approaching with caution, as visibility is very

low. Sensors report high radiation ahead. Readings seem to

indicate a presence of something like a nuclear-powered ship like

ours, however this may be the sensors malfunctioning again.

It has a number of "charging" adaptors that have some kind of

Kor begins working on a ship as it awaits eventual sale on the
|
||||
planet [REDACTED]. The hyperdrive is non-stock, and Kor lacks the
|
||||
necessary parts to adapt it for use with this freighter. The
|
||||
unfortunate result of this is that the ship will need to be
|
||||
constantly refueled until the correct parts are acquired.

|

The Steel Lady was sold to Mad Man Mooney, the proceeds of this
|
||||
transaction were used to purchase The Silver Falcon. Moments after
|
||||
the transation took place, the faulty hyperdrive exploded,
|
||||
completely obliterating Mad Man Mooney's asteroid and all
|
||||
inhabitants.

the adrestia's to Ł332 gue sector 8 took an unplanned route through an
|
||||
asteroid field. it's been a wild ride.
|
||||
|
||||
according to the readings that i'm seeing now, it appears that there is some
|
||||
missing time, along with an accompanying gap in our logs.
|
||||
|
||||
this is still under active investigation. the current working theory is that
|
||||
we passed through some form of wormhole that didn't change our position in
|
||||
3d space, but rather our local time frame.
|
||||
|
||||
the current plan is to maintain our current position, run additional
|
||||
diagnostics and consult with the relay to check if any other vessels have
|
||||
experienced such a phenomenon.
|
||||
|
||||
we'll also be catching up on the messages and logs that have just started
|
||||
coming through our ansibel node.
|
||||
|
||||
expect further updates with the results of our investigations and hopefully
|
||||
an additional update when we land safely at Ł332 gue.
