Ship damaged en route to Beta Hydrii
|
||||||
|
- Full loss of fore botany bay
|
||||||
|
- Loss of ship's doctor in incident
|
||||||
|
- Food stores at half
|
||||||
|
- Unknown anomaly affected gene sequencing of arabidopsis
|
||||||
|
- Possible crew gene anomalies (Simms, Hildar P., Sargent)
|
||||||
|
- No damage sustained to genetic dispersal array
|
||||||
|
|

|
Melchizedek has shut down gravity sheer and is decelerating into
|
||||||
|
system presently. Navigator Hämäläinen is on watch for
|
||||||
|
electrophonic bolides. Our shielding is adequate for any other
|
||||||
|
space debris expected.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At present rate we will set down on the fourth planet in system in
|
||||||
|
17 hours, local chronology. Time dilation should be minimal.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The full crew will trigger their wake sequences from hibernation
|
||||||
|
upon landfall. Specialist Janssen will head operations to secure
|
||||||
|
structural damage from the jettisoned fore botany bay. Doctors
|
||||||
|
Kroups and Xavier have augmented our rationing system due to
|
||||||
|
reduced material.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Warrant Master Pasani's mental stresses are significant. Cognitive
|
||||||
|
inhibitions have been demonstrated at 14 individual intervals.
|
||||||
|
Rest and meditation schedules have been met and he shows no signs
|
||||||
|
of chronic impairment. No recommended remediation at this time.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Personal note:
|
||||||
|
The crew has acted admirably and in accordance with their station.

Entry 6 -- Sister Hawwa
|
Entry 6 -- Sister Hawwa
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Eve
|
My brothers and sisters-
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Hawwa should give them the question and put them to judgement.
|
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The
|
||||||
Their path is guided by Allah and they will be judged on their
|
earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face
|
||||||
last day. Jinn live much longer than people, and they live hidden
|
of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of
|
||||||
away in worlds apart. They take from humans and prey upon them.
|
the waters.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Shatter the illusion!
|
The Spirit hovers above the darkness again at the dawn of a new
|
||||||
|
beginning. The Spirit spills from my sisters, overflowing. His
|
||||||
|
will be done.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. And God
|
||||||
|
saw that the light was good.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The light comes to this world, to the monsters made of fire and
|
||||||
|
mist. They have dwelt in the darkness, in the deep, for too long.
|
||||||
|
They hid from the light, hid from the flood, and found their prey
|
||||||
|
among the Chosen. They have been judged.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our
|
||||||
|
likeness. And let them have dominion--"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So God created man in his own image,
|
||||||
|
in the image of God he created him;
|
||||||
|
male and female he created them.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I am Hawwa. My God has given me dominion over the Jinn, as with
|
||||||
|
all creatures. He gave my people to the garden, and the garden to
|
||||||
|
my people. It was my mother Eve, for whom I am named, that tasted
|
||||||
|
of the Tree. It was her that the LORD said has become like one of
|
||||||
|
us in knowing good and evil. That is my inheritance, the good and
|
||||||
|
evil and the knowledge of it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
With my sisters we judge the actions of the Jinn and know them to
|
||||||
|
be evil. We are granted that knowledge with our sin and have paid
|
||||||
|
for it with the birth of every child and the sweat of work in the
|
||||||
|
fields. Out of dust we were taken and to it we return for all time
|
||||||
|
until eschaton.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
From those first days in the garden we have been plagued by the
|
||||||
|
serpents. They lie to us and lead us astray. They clothe
|
||||||
|
themselves in the skin of my people. They wear the faces of our
|
||||||
|
children and take young wives from their marital beds. They lure
|
||||||
|
away the shepherds from their flocks and send their own tricksters
|
||||||
|
to pose as our friends.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Jinn celebrate in their churches, dine at their tables,
|
||||||
|
celebrate their weddings. They do these things that were given to
|
||||||
|
men and women, the blessed and chosen of the LORD, in a mockery of
|
||||||
|
creation. They, unburdened by the curse of the tree, have swelled
|
||||||
|
beyond our numbers and our powers. They have taken their hidden
|
||||||
|
nature into the stars and dwell in the darkness between.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. And God
|
||||||
|
saw that the light was good.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
They are animals, creatures of the ground. They are no different
|
||||||
|
from the thorns and thistles our ancestors struggled with except
|
||||||
|
in one thing. Unburdened by knowledge of good and evil and
|
||||||
|
possessed of stolen grace, they have usurped the birthright of
|
||||||
|
man. Their existence is hidden from God, wearing our skin.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I am a daughter of Adam, of Seth, of Enosh, of Kenan, of
|
||||||
|
Mahalalel, of Jared and Enoch, of Methuselah and Lamech, of Noah.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I am a daughter of Eve and Alma, Adah and Zillah, Naamah. I call
|
||||||
|
my mother Sarah and Iscah, Milcah and Hajar, who is now my sister.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You are my sisters and brothers, my humans of the stars. I see
|
||||||
|
your whispers in the darkness and calls for help to one another.
|
||||||
|
We read your adventures and see the light of humanity reaching
|
||||||
|
corners we never dreamed. You give us hope and it brightens the
|
||||||
|
light we shine. We will survive. Our people will survive. No
|
||||||
|
matter what the Jinn do to us, humanity has gone beyond their
|
||||||
|
reach. For that we thank God and we thank you, sisters, no matter
|
||||||
|
what form you may take. May his light follow you in the deep and
|
||||||
|
lead you to safety.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We are the Holy Sisters of the Desert Rose. Oleander is the name
|
||||||
|
given our ship, and a fitting one it is. The poison of these
|
||||||
|
leaves stains us. It poisons our hearts with a sin of vengeance
|
||||||
|
that does not wash away. Every one of my sisters here feels it on
|
||||||
|
her skin, under her tongue. We seek absolution and forgiveness for
|
||||||
|
the rot in our hearts, but we accept our fates regardless. If we
|
||||||
|
go to torment then we go with smiles knowing that our arrow will
|
||||||
|
strike true. A true vendetta heart beats within us. And yet, we
|
||||||
|
hope God will see the torment and forgive us where our own mercy
|
||||||
|
fails. The Jinn are not men and the ways of the prophets do not
|
||||||
|
call us to kinship with them. They are beasts, and a wild beast
|
||||||
|
must be slaughtered.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These Jinn have lived apart all their existence. Their lives are
|
||||||
|
long. Some stories say that they tasted of the other tree in the
|
||||||
|
garden before they were cast out as well. They tasted of life
|
||||||
|
without knowledge, while we suffer with knowledge and without
|
||||||
|
life. It is possible that there are some below us now who were in
|
||||||
|
the garden with my mother Eve. I wonder if they will recognize her
|
||||||
|
hand in what is to come.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I will put enmity between you and the woman
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
God set us at each other from the start. May it be that this wrath
|
||||||
|
we feel is not sin, but justice divine?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The magic of the Jinn has always been an unknown. Their ways of
|
||||||
|
being apart from the world and yet in it have confounded
|
||||||
|
generations. We fly through the stars, we split atoms, we shift
|
||||||
|
gravity, we unlock man-made dimensionality, yet they are always
|
||||||
|
apart. What is this mystery that surrounds them that gives them
|
||||||
|
advantage over us. It has plagued us in more than just thought.
|
||||||
|
They are the star eaters, the world breakers, the desert mirage,
|
||||||
|
the elfin kingdoms. They are eternal mystery. Unknowable and
|
||||||
|
indefatigable.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Until Asiya.
|
||||||
|
Until Hajar.
|
||||||
|
Until Miriam and Sara.
|
||||||
|
Until me.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It began with Asiya's dream. They came in a dream that became
|
||||||
|
a nightmare and which she can never wake. She is still there on
|
||||||
|
Hazen, though with much prayer we have been able to give her
|
||||||
|
glimpses through.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The veil of dreams is parted not through medicines or machines,
|
||||||
|
but through meditation and the manipulation of the mind.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Our evolution as a species has been one of the mind. We have grown
|
||||||
|
in complexity through biological changes until the greatest
|
||||||
|
physical expression became a mental one. When we learned to use
|
||||||
|
the first tools, when we harnessed fire, we did so by tempering
|
||||||
|
our minds to a task. Our wrought history of violence and suffering
|
||||||
|
has evolved that mind to grow many new powers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
With one flex comes the sciences. Our observation and deduction
|
||||||
|
give us understanding of the rules which bind us. Our knowing
|
||||||
|
gives us induction and inspiration toward creation and
|
||||||
|
exploration. Science is a beautiful gift of God.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
But we have greater gifts! A complex love that knows no equal.
|
||||||
|
Where there are ten people, there are a hundred loves!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And valor! What greater demonstration of the power of the mind
|
||||||
|
over the body is there? And as it is taught
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There is no greater love than this: that a person would lay down
|
||||||
|
his life for the sake of his friends.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When Hajar saw Uzāir at the well, the squinting in the sun, the
|
||||||
|
tricks of light, and the sudden surprise of silence... What let
|
||||||
|
that boy see the Jinn before the women gathered at the well? What
|
||||||
|
put him between them? By what arcane power did Uzāir pierce the
|
||||||
|
veil, do you think, my sisters?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The veil is built of fear. It lives in a place of dreams, of
|
||||||
|
nightmares. They move past eyes like those unseeing in the midst
|
||||||
|
of a night terror. The terror blinds us to reality, but is not
|
||||||
|
a terror of fear, rather the mysterium tremendum, the ineffable,
|
||||||
|
the unknowable. It is the fear of the deep, unmade world.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Asiya's dream has taught us the rules the Jinn and Hajar's witness
|
||||||
|
taught us the way through. These are the tools with which we
|
||||||
|
practice our art. Our meditation and prayer are disciplines of
|
||||||
|
that art. For an art it is we have here in this Istishhad.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To part this terror requires the greatest of loves. It must draw
|
||||||
|
from a place beyond fear, from the ecstasy of the unknowing beast
|
||||||
|
in the awe of its creator. To part this terror requires
|
||||||
|
abandonment of self into the void. This is the lesson of the Tree.
|
||||||
|
Our knowledge came with a cost. Dust to dust, good and evil, but
|
||||||
|
not life.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is my mystery. This is the story of the first time I died.

Something about the veil being torn or reversing it, humans able
|
||||||
|
to slip in and out but not the Jinn. It's faith-based, not

||||||

scientifically observable, follows some unknown principles,

We all call it that but it’s really called "the commissary of edibilities".

Come on, with a name like that, you would call it “foods” too. We both know it.

Speaking of you, I should give you a name, my beautiful bundle of paper.

If course, my Měilì, you can object at any time and I’ll call you something else.
|

Oh yes, Valval met me at foods and we were talking about the end of classes.
|
||||||
|
It’s so hard for me to believe its over and we won’t be seeing each other every day anymore.

Nothing!

I had to spend an hour in the fab room, again, fixing it.

I didn’t tell anyone, but I was crying the whole time too. She ruins everything.

I ended up missing the beginning of the graduation ceremony since its “formal dress” so I couldn’t go there without my stockings.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since I’m telling you secrets, I hate my stockings so much.
|
||||||
|
They itch and feel rough and aren’t the right colors anymore,
|
||||||
|
but we don’t have the material for new ones so I needed to use recycled fabric.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Maybe one day, if I’m REALLY good in the radio room, I’ll get stockings that make me look pretty AND feel good.

|
Valval met me at foods after work today.
|
||||||
|
We all call it that but it’s really called "the commissary of edibilities".
|
||||||
|
Come on, with a name like that, you would call it “foods” too. We both know it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Speaking of you, I should give you a name, my beautiful bundle of paper.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
How about 美丽 !
|
||||||
|
Perfect.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If course, my Měilì, you can object at any time and I’ll call you something else.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Oh yes, Valval met me at foods and we were talking about the end of classes.
|
||||||
|
It’s so hard for me to believe its over and we won’t be seeing each other every day anymore.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I won’t miss that 婊子 bbsee.
|
||||||
|
I hope her assignment is in a black hole.
|
||||||
|
Can you believe that on our LAST day of class she managed to rip my stocking and didn’t even apologize?
|
||||||
|
Nothing!
|
||||||
|
I had to spend an hour in the fab room, again, fixing it.
|
||||||
|
I didn’t tell anyone, but I was crying the whole time too. She ruins everything.
|
||||||
|
I ended up missing the beginning of the graduation ceremony since its “formal dress” so I couldn’t go there without my stockings.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since I’m telling you secrets, I hate my stockings so much.
|
||||||
|
They itch and feel rough and aren’t the right colors anymore,
|
||||||
|
but we don’t have the material for new ones so I needed to use recycled fabric.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Maybe one day, if I’m REALLY good in the radio room, I’ll get stockings that make me look pretty AND feel good.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Got to go

"Trajectory found," the computer declared, "ENGINES: ONLINE."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The ship lurched forward, nearly knocking us to the floor. Hex and
|
||||||
|
Cranium looked at each other knowingly. Mr Swarm and I ran into the
|
||||||
|
cockpit.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"It's left this black stuff all over the overhead" crackled Hex
|
||||||
|
over the intercom, "across the datastores, and straight through the
|
||||||
|
floor again - what's going on up there?"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"We're locked out of the controls, all I can tell is we're at full
|
||||||
|
speed and on a collision course with the planet." I replied.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Thin strands pulsated rainbows of light to and from a large blobs
|
||||||
|
on the ceilings and walls.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"I don't think it's going to hurt us, it's too focused on where
|
||||||
|
it's going." Hex said, "it's taking us somewhere."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"There isn't much we can do now except see what it it wants, can
|
||||||
|
we?" the Commander asked.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
He was right. 10 minutes until landing, no time to waste.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Mr Swarm gingerly poked a blob with a screwdriver, his hand jerked
|
||||||
|
back with a spark, leaving the screwdriver spinning towards the
|
||||||
|
floor. 9 minutes. "Suit up!" Commander Cranium commanded.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
9 minutes, 30 seconds. I pulled on my gloves and heavy boots,
|
||||||
|
checked the respirators connections and walked into the main
|
||||||
|
corridor. Hex's athame reflected the dim rainbow lights of the
|
||||||
|
alien satellite. 6 minutes, 30 seconds.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Mr Swarm came in wearing his carapace of armor, followed by the
|
||||||
|
Commander who has to bend his head awkwardly to fit his helmet
|
||||||
|
through the door.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Remember the landing plan," Cranium instructed, "we have to be
|
||||||
|
able to defend ourselves, but not appear to be hostile... The
|
||||||
|
computer says we should be able to breath the atmosphere, but I
|
||||||
|
don't think we should take any chances trusting it while that thing
|
||||||
|
is in control of the ship. Like Hex said, this thing isn't killing
|
||||||
|
us, but for how long?" 5 minutes, 30 seconds.

Ship damaged en route to Beta Hydrii
|
||||||
|
- Full loss of fore botany bay
|
||||||
|
- Loss of ship's doctor in incident
|
||||||
|
- Food stores at half
|
||||||
|
- Unknown anomaly affected gene sequencing of arabidopsis
|
||||||
|
- Possible crew gene anomalies (Simms, Hildar P., Sargent)
|
||||||
|
- No damage sustained to genetic dispersal array
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Melchizedek has shut down gravity sheer and is decelerating into
|
||||||
|
system presently. Navigator Hämäläinen is on watch for
|
||||||
|
electrophonic bolides. Our shielding is adequate for any other
|
||||||
|
space debris expected.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At present rate we will set down on the fourth planet in system in
|
||||||
|
17 hours, local chronology. Time dilation should be minimal.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The full crew will trigger their wake sequences from hibernation
|
||||||
|
upon landfall. Specialist Janssen will head operations to secure
|
||||||
|
structural damage from the jettisoned fore botany bay. Doctors
|
||||||
|
Kroups and Xavier have augmented our rationing system due to
|
||||||
|
reduced material.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Warrant Master Pasani's mental stresses are significant. Cognitive
|
||||||
|
inhibitions have been demonstrated at 14 individual intervals.
|
||||||
|
Rest and meditation schedules have been met and he shows no signs
|
||||||
|
of chronic impairment. No recommended remediation at this time.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Personal note:
|
||||||
|
The crew has acted admirably and in accordance with their station.

Dotfiles are files or directories on *nix systems which filesystem
|
||||||
|
utilities do not display by default when showing a directory
|
||||||
|
listing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To list these files, run: ls -a
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
On cosmic.voyage there are several dotfiles that you may want to
|
||||||
|
customize
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. ~/.plan & ~/.project
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These files are displayed when someone checks your account with the
|
||||||
|
`finger` command. Create these files with the editor of your choice
|
||||||
|
inside your HOME directory. The .plan file should contain a few
|
||||||
|
lines with general information about you or your account. The
|
||||||
|
.project file should only contain one line, generally contains
|
||||||
|
information about your short-term goals. You can create either or
|
||||||
|
both of these files, if both exist the .project file should be
|
||||||
|
output about the .plan file when somebody runs `finger <your
|
||||||
|
username>@cosmic.voyage`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. ~/ship/<ship name>/.description
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This file provides a description for your ship/colony/output where
|
||||||
|
you can introduce your story or provide more information as you see
|
||||||
|
fit.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. .profile / .bashrc
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These files change the way your shell runs, you can change your
|
||||||
|
default text editor by adding a line like:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
export EDITOR=vim
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
to change your default text editor from jed to vim, or you can
|
||||||
|
create aliases as shortcuts to your favorite commands with lines
|
||||||
|
like:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
alias ll='ls -oFhA'
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
this one will list the contents of a directory, append a character
|
||||||
|
to indicate the files type, and print the file size in a
|
||||||
|
human-readable format. There's tons of options that can be tweaked
|
||||||
|
in here.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. other config files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.muttrc & .pinerc files can be written to customize the mutt and
|
||||||
|
alpine email clients respectively.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.signature file will be used by some email apps to be appended as a
|
||||||
|
signature on outgoing messages.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.vim & .vimrc is a directory of configurations and a single
|
||||||
|
configuration file to customize the way the vim text editor works.
