Stephanie Janssen, Specialist First-class
|
||||
:::
|
||||
To all Earth vessels: we've taken command of the Melchizedek.
|
||||
|
||||
Our captain, Jerome Pasani, is missing. Our crewman, Sandy Kroups,
|
||||
is missing too. We are going after them and we're gonna bring them
|
||||
home. Or to Beta Hydrii, I mean. New home.
|
||||
|
||||
Our Seriph Rhetorical turned her back on them, so we've removed
|
||||
her from command. There's twelve of us on board:
|
||||
|
||||
- Stephanie Janssen (Me)
|
||||
- Eva Hämäläinen
|
||||
- Dr. Spinelli
|
||||
- Dr. Reed
|
||||
- Hildar Simms
|
||||
- Maureen Hendrix
|
||||
- Paul Wall
|
||||
- Sandra Gould
|
||||
- Lillie Cleveland
|
||||
- Donna Fernandez
|
||||
- Alonzo Alvarado
|
||||
- Edgar Marquez
|
||||
|
||||
Paul, Alonzo, and Edgar are here under duress. Is that the right
|
||||
term? They didn't want to be on the ship when we took it, but now
|
||||
they're stuck with us. So note that or something in case we get in
|
||||
trouble later. We're almost certainly going to get in trouble
|
||||
later. If there is a later. There's almost certainly going to be
|
||||
a later. Probably.
|
||||
|
||||
Eva is navigating us back along the path that Sandy used to get to
|
||||
the anomaly. Also, we're calling it the anomaly now. I suppose
|
||||
it's good to have names for things.
|
||||
|
||||
Eva said that we don't need to actually follow the whole path that
|
||||
the shuttle took last time since we know they didn't run into
|
||||
anything for a while. They read out their position when they got
|
||||
anomaly'd. Anomalized. When they saw the thing. So we're going to
|
||||
cut across the diagonal, kinda. It's still orbitals so there's
|
||||
curves and parabolas, but we're cutting across them too. It won't
|
||||
take us as long as it could have, but we'll still be out here
|
||||
a bit. That's okay. We have food and water. Maureen fixed that up.
|
||||
|
||||
The night before we left I was hiding in support girding above the
|
||||
fore gangway, sandwiched nicely up against some venting and
|
||||
coolant tubes. If we'd been flying that would have gotten pretty
|
||||
chilly, but instead it was just boring. Meanwhile some of the
|
||||
others were being amazing. Maureen changed around duty rosters and
|
||||
tasking so that the crew unknowingly re-loaded a bunch of stores
|
||||
onto the ship over the past couple days. On the one hand I can't
|
||||
believe no one noticed, but really, why would you question it? The
|
||||
crew gets all assignments to their pads and everything is
|
||||
monitored and orchestrated so you're helping each other without
|
||||
really seeing the big picture. Or not, I guess. Score one for us.
|
||||
|
||||
Score two--or goal? I'm not big on sports--was all Eva. Whatever
|
||||
is out there it messed with DNA. It actually messed with Simms'
|
||||
DNA in particular, and he's been eager to return the favor. We
|
||||
have a lot of equipment that deals with sequencing, replication,
|
||||
and dispersal. They're important for seeding. Well, that's an
|
||||
understatement. They ARE the seeding. Them plus a bit of code and
|
||||
bots, anyway.
|
||||
|
||||
It's like this: suck out all the genetic material you can, give it
|
||||
a good mix, replicate it until you have a LOT, then force-mutate
|
||||
it along pathways tried and true back on earth. You spray that all
|
||||
over with a little secret sauce and, whammo, life. That's the
|
||||
basics anyway. It gets you the microorganisms you need to support
|
||||
later larger life-cycles. That's why we go in phases. Regardless,
|
||||
the machines are important, so we have a few extras and we have
|
||||
manufacturing to create more.
|
||||
|
||||
Manufacturing is its own tricky thing. The factories are designed
|
||||
to self-replicate and to replicate any shipboard equipment. Given
|
||||
enough time and raw materials they can duplicate the entire
|
||||
Melchizedek, but just the mechanical parts. Rare elements are
|
||||
still rare on other worlds, so finding Neodymium or something like
|
||||
that is not easy. Fuel for the grav sheer isn't limitless, if you
|
||||
see what I mean. But local craft? Oh yeah, we can make a bunch of
|
||||
them.
|
||||
|
||||
During the early phases of seeding the factories self replicate
|
||||
and replicate the genetics equipment as priorities. Each factory
|
||||
has some math on how many other factories it needs to make before
|
||||
it switches to the lab equipment and so on. They grow like fungi
|
||||
or spores or something. It follows one of those Greek letter math
|
||||
things, like Pi. I forget which one.
|
||||
|
||||
Why all the background? Well I wanted to explain because WE STOLE
|
||||
STUFF! Specifically we have a manufacturer unit and one each of
|
||||
the genetics units. More than that, we set them up to actually
|
||||
work on board. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that part. Normally
|
||||
they're for planetside work. Well, not anymore. Eva snagged us
|
||||
some and then she FRIGGIN BLEW UP THE HABITATS! That was wild.
|
||||
|
||||
Lillie and Donna arranged a film night in Habitat D. Have you ever
|
||||
seen Double Indemnity? It sounded cool, but I missed it. That got
|
||||
the majority of the crew off duty out of the other habitats. Then
|
||||
Eva planted explosives in them and in a bunch of the other
|
||||
processing plants. I didn't get it at first, but once everyone was
|
||||
aboard the Melchy it started to make sense.
|
||||
|
||||
See, starting up a starship isn't a quiet or fast process.
|
||||
Especially from the ground. It's loud. Like explosion-level loud.
|
||||
It shakes the ground and smoke is everywhere. There's also a lot
|
||||
of comms traffic that goes on around it. Most importantly, Prezzi
|
||||
could have used her access to get onboard before we could make it
|
||||
into the air. We needed one hell of a distraction to steal a whole
|
||||
ship. Eva is amazing.
|
||||
|
||||
The habitats were easy targets since everyone will freak out about
|
||||
their stuff going up and immediately run to see if they can save
|
||||
things. The other explosions hid what we nabbed from the ground,
|
||||
just in case they have some way to try to stop us remotely. Nobody
|
||||
was too clear on that point. Shhh.
|
||||
|
||||
So once the explosions started, those of us who were onboard
|
||||
needed to secure controls. That was probably the easiest part.
|
||||
I've been lying in wait just behind the control room entrance for
|
||||
two days. Once they all stepped outside I just dropped down,
|
||||
scooted inside and locked the door. Ninja moves! Do you know what
|
||||
Ninjas are? We saw an old film about them too. Oh, and the doctors
|
||||
rounded up the others on duty and kept everyone quiet until we got
|
||||
airborne. Almost forgot to tell that part. Dr. Reed is strong!
|
||||
Wow.
|
||||
|
||||
Oh, if you're worried about the crew back planet-side you don't
|
||||
need to be. There was a lot of damage done that they'll waste time
|
||||
fixing over the next few weeks, but nobody was hurt and they're
|
||||
not in danger. Probably. I mean, we haven't called them, but from
|
||||
the reports I saw they should be fine. Prezzi will be really
|
||||
angry. Or no. She'll be very logical and cold and give dirty
|
||||
looks, which is about as angry as a Seriph can be.
|
||||
|
||||
We'll document more soon. Hopefully we can talk Alonzo into
|
||||
helping with the genetics research. That's his field. In the
|
||||
meantime, lots to do.
|
||||
|
||||
Peace and love and righteous disobedience to you all!

Susan, Speaker Elect of Cheer Systems, 14th Pod
|

:::
|
||||
Merry Meet to all of our friends across our beautiful 'verse~
|
||||
|
||||
The friendship community of the 14th Pod wish you all a blessed
|
||||
election day. The cats have been in conclave now for four days and
|
||||
will soon announce the human leaders that will govern our pods for
|
||||
the next three years. As you know, the cat conclave is secret
|
||||
affair, so we have very little information to share about the
|
||||
process itself. We can only wish the very greatest of blessings
|
||||
upon their efforts and call upon the spirits of Diana, Sinjorino,
|
||||
and Alportas.
|
||||
|
||||
This is also the very first year that the Dekaosan brothers and
|
||||
sisters will witness this sacred rite of the Projection. Our
|
||||
children have been braiding flower garments for them and mixing
|
||||
the traditional taffy in celebration. Feline festivities abound.
|
||||
There are chases and races and platonic napping piles all around
|
||||
the habitat. Tonight the mewling of the stars will begin at
|
||||
sundown and go until midnight. What an exciting time to be alive!
|
||||
|
||||
We here at the Starbloom Communal Distributive Projection
|
||||
recognize that many of our kin across the stars may not benefit
|
||||
from the blessings of feline guidance in the ways of government
|
||||
and engineering. We humbly acknowledge our privilege in this
|
||||
respect. We pray that our celebrations are seen as an affirmation
|
||||
of good principles and orderly life and not as a testiment of
|
||||
pride at your expense. If any of you are nearby, know also that
|
||||
you are welcome with us here.
|
||||
|
||||
Blessed be, my brothers and sisters. May the stars shine upon you
|

always.

|

Acting Captain's Log: Stardate 0000 0003
|
||||
Clone Code: 0100
|
||||
------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
After embarking on Mini Boaty McBoatface with 0110, 0101, and 0111 I was put
|
||||
into the position as acting captain of the smaller space vessel. This was due to
|
||||
part of the terms agreed upon after the incident of the Tails clones, and I feel
|
||||
part of our voyage is to test these terms given the selection that Captain chose
|
||||
for this crew. Essentially, it was decided that when deciding who has seniority
|
||||
among a group of clones in the same batch we should default to the one created
|
||||
using heads (i.e. the "0" and not the "1"). The logic here being that Heads was
|
||||
smart enough to not create an exponential explosion of time clones, as opposed
|
||||
to Tails who went ahead and did exactly that, so clearly the universe must frown
|
||||
upon those created with tails by making them less intelligent during the time
|
||||
leap. We have no hard science to back this up, but we did find *slightly* more
|
||||
time clones were created by the Tails clones who flipped tails so we could not
|
||||
argue too much there. Since I was only created by a single tails flip (the one
|
||||
that created the one we call Tails or 01), this gave me seniority over 0110,
|
||||
0101, and 0111.
|
||||
|
||||
My first directive as captain was to order 0111 to the sleeping quarters until I
|
||||
had an assignment ready for them. Every coin flip that spawen them was tails
|
||||
flips and I am not about to keep that kind of bad luck or stupidity around us
|
||||
(existence of any actual evidence to prove the theory be damned). 0111 thought
|
||||
this was unfair so I ordered 0110 and 0101 to help me restrain 0111 and relocate
|
||||
them into the sleeping quarters. With their help we got 0111 put away and with
|
||||
the bad egg taken care of we got to work on planning out the mission. The first
|
||||
step was determining where we should pickup supplies. Since our time clones in
|
||||
Boaty McBoatface are right now trying to become war criminals by smuggling
|
||||
assets to enemies of the Federation, that removes the option of turning around
|
||||
and heading back home to get supplies... Or does it? The first time I (or is it
|
||||
"we" now?) used the Deus Ex Machina to go back in time was back home before
|
||||
boarding the ship, so that gives us the option to go back in time to that point
|
||||
and get supplies before we even leave. In fact, if we revise the plan to loading
|
||||
the supplies into this very miniature spacecraft, then our mission would already
|
||||
be completed! With this assumption in mind I asked 0101 and 0111 to help me
|
||||
search the craft for any hidden resources. After searching the spaceship we
|
||||
could not find anything out of the ordinary and only had one more room left: the
|
||||
sleeping quarters we locked 0111 in. We mentally prepared ourselves for whatever
|
||||
0111 could have ready for us and opened unlocked the doors. Instead of finding
|
||||
an angry 0111 inside we instead found them nowhere to be seem and somehow the
|
||||
room was now filled with the supplies we were supposed to be getting that
|
||||
definitely where not in this room earlier when we locked 0111 in here.
|
||||
|
||||
This obviously left us a bit confused, especially for 0101 and 0111 who I still
|
||||
have not explained my plan to. After filling them in we brainstormed on what
|
||||
could have caused this situation. Our best theory is that 0111 decided to escape
|
||||
the locked room by going back in time. Since the device has not been used much
|
||||
at this point, that gives us a few places we can search for them: when Captain
|
||||
was performing the initial time experiences and during the chaos of the Tails
|
||||
cloning explosion. Since there are three of us and only two points in time to
|
||||
check I ordered 0110 to check the earlier points back on our home planet and
|
||||
0101 to search for 0111 within the mess that Tails created. Just as soon as they
|
||||
disappeared they both reappeared.
|
||||
|
||||
Part of being a time traveller is that you can appear to complete tasks
|
||||
immediately since you can just jump back to the point where you left the moment
|
||||
you are done, but that is only an illusion to hide the *real* work that gets
|
||||
done elsewhere in the timeline. This was very true for 0110 who reported
|
||||
spending hours searching for 0111 at the jump point I assigned them. Well,
|
||||
"hours" from their perspective,
|
||||
|
||||
in reality it was the same amount of time we all
|
||||
spent searching for 0111 before we came into this room but once that point was
|
||||
reached 0101 jumped back to the same starting point and checked different
|
||||
locations inside the ship.

Good screaming? No, wait, nevermind.
|
||||
|
||||
Hämäläinen:
|
||||
|
||||
Steph, you can't do this. She's not going to change her mind.
|
||||
Seriphs don't do that. You're just going to get hurt and it's
|
||||
not going to help anyone. Least of all--
|
||||
|
||||
Janssen:
|
||||
|
||||
I can't do nothing. Please, Eva. It's wrong. It's just wrong and
|
||||
horrible. I keep seeing him out there, in the cold dark. You
|
||||
remember what that was like on the Melchy when we had each
|
||||
other. You remember how he got. And what if he's hurt.
|
||||
|
||||
Hämäläinen:
|
||||
|
||||
Ymmärrän. I know, I know.
|
||||
|
||||
Janssen:
|
||||
|
||||
She can't really stop us. What's she going to do? Hit me?
|
||||
|
||||
Hämäläinen:
|
||||
|
||||
Turn off your access? She can do that, you know.
|
||||
|
||||
Janssen:
|
||||
|
||||
She can do that?
|
||||
|
||||
Hämäläinen:
|
||||
|
||||
I think so. She'll tell the Melchizedek to ignore you, or put
|
||||
the locks on you. How is it said?
|
||||
|
||||
Janssen:
|
||||
|
||||
No way. That wouldn't fly. If we were in flight that could cut
|
||||
out my air or something. She can't just execute us.
|
||||
|
||||
Hämäläinen:
|
||||
|
||||
I don't know, Steph. I think she can do whatever she needs to
|
||||
do. She's Ecclesia. They don't change their minds and they don't
|
||||
stop. She'll cut you out and stop you, and then what? You'll be
|
||||
locked up and no good to anyone. No good to Jerome or Sandy.
|
||||
|
||||
Janssen:
|
||||
|
||||
No good to you?
|
||||
|
||||
Hämäläinen:
|
||||
|
||||
I'm not leaving you. Don't think like that. If you get locked up
|
||||
then I'm locked up.
|
||||
|
||||
Janssen:
|
||||
|
||||
No way. Prezzi won't leave us together.
|
||||
|
||||
Hämäläinen:
|
||||
|
||||
She is Ecclesia and does not stop, but I am not some balloon
|
||||
full of eels to be--
|
||||
|
||||
[Moisture detected on control console 01. Disabling display.]
|

Janssen:

Eels? What the--
|

|
||||
Hämäläinen:
|
||||
|
||||
You broke--the terminal is out. Are we still transmitting? Why
|
||||
are you looking at me like that? You are the one that spit all
|
||||
over the--
|
||||
|
||||
Janssen:
|
||||
|
||||
Eels! That's not a thing.
|
||||
|
||||
Hämäläinen:
|
||||
|
||||
Isn't that the saying for. Oh I don't know anymore. Yksi kieli
|
||||
ei ikinä riitä. What was I saying?
|
||||
|
||||
Janssen:
|
||||
|

About eels or how you love me so much you'll fight the Church
|

for me?

there all alone and in the dark. Whatever that thing is…
|

|

Hämäläinen:
|
||||
|
||||
No.
|
||||
|
||||
Janssen:
|
||||
|
||||
No? You just said--
|
||||
|
||||
Hämäläinen:
|
||||
|
||||
No, we can't do this… alone. We need a plan and we're going to
|
||||
need Spinelli or Reed at the least. I think we can count on
|
||||
Hendrix too and probably Simms.
|
||||
|
||||
Janssen:
|
||||
|
||||
You don't mean to ask then? You think we should--
|
||||
|
||||
Hämäläinen:
|
||||
|
||||
It's the only chance they have, right? You said it so. I believe
|
||||
you. They're out there and they need help. If I let you run
|
||||
ahead at Adeyemi then…
|
||||
|
||||
I'm not going to lose you. I just can't. Before this mission
|
||||
I never thought this would be mine, that I would find someone
|
||||
like you. Perhaps I'd not have agreed if I thought I had
|
||||
a chance at it on Earth. But here you are. And these people are
|
||||
family to me now. Jerome is your dad.
|
||||
|
||||
Janssen:
|
||||
|
||||
Work-dad. Not, like, my actual dad.
|
||||
|
||||
Hämäläinen:
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, and he is like a little brother to me. A very annoying one
|
||||
who doesn't knock, but a brother.
|
||||
|
||||
Janssen:
|
||||
|
||||
Wait, so are you my work-aunt then? Cause that's--
|
||||
|
||||
Hämäläinen:
|
||||
|
||||
You're ruining this.
|
||||
|
||||
Janssen:
|
||||
|
||||
Sorry. [Cough detected] Go on.
|
||||
|
||||
Hämäläinen:
|
||||
|
||||
Uuh! Olet raivostuttava ja mahdoton enkä voi kuvitella enää
|
||||
sekuntiakaan sitä ilman.
|
||||
|
||||
Janssen:
|
||||
|
||||
That's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard and I don't
|
||||
understand a word of it. You won't lose me. This plan will work.
|
||||
What is the plan again?
|
||||
|
||||
Hämäläinen:
|
||||
|
||||
You are an impossible creature, my flower.
|
||||
|
||||
Janssen:
|
||||
|
||||
That's what they say about me. Stephanie Janssen, Specialist
|
||||
Impossible! Boop!
|
||||

Hämäläinen:

[Squeek detected]. Oh I'm gonna--

Susan, Speaker Elect of Cheer Systems, 14th Pod
|
||||
:::
|
||||
Merry Meet to all of our friends across our beautiful 'verse~
|
||||
|
||||
The friendship community of the 14th Pod wish you all a blessed
|
||||
election day. The cats have been in conclave now for four days and
|
||||
will soon announce the human leaders that will govern our pods for
|
||||
the next three years. As you know, the cat conclave is secret
|
||||
affair, so we have very little information to share about the
|
||||
process itself. We can only wish the very greatest of blessings
|
||||
upon their efforts and call upon the spirits of Diana, Sinjorino,
|
||||
and Alportas.
|
||||
|
||||
This is also the very first year that the Dekaosan brothers and
|
||||
sisters will witness this sacred rite of the Projection. Our
|
||||
children have been braiding flower garments for them and mixing
|
||||
the traditional taffy in celebration. Feline festivities abound.
|
||||
There are chases and races and platonic napping piles all around
|
||||
the habitat. Tonight the mewling of the stars will begin at
|
||||
sundown and go until midnight. What an exciting time to be alive!
|
||||
|
||||
We here at the Starbloom Communal Distributive Projection
|
||||
recognize that many of our kin across the stars may not benefit
|
||||
from the blessings of feline guidance in the ways of government
|
||||
and engineering. We humbly acknowledge our privilege in this
|
||||
respect. We pray that our celebrations are seen as an affirmation
|
||||
of good principles and orderly life and not as a testiment of
|
||||
pride at your expense. If any of you are nearby, know also that
|
||||
you are welcome with us here.
|
||||
|
||||
Blessed be, my brothers and sisters. May the stars shine upon you
|
||||
always.
|
||||
