Captain Lantashi's Report:
|
||||
|
||||
As reported in my last QED transmission, our ship, the Lantashi
|
||||
Dance, brought the command crew and some support personnel out
|
||||
of statis. But we don't know if we were woken up early, late, or
|
||||
on-time. What we did know is that a lot of the ship's systems were
|
||||
down, and that 40% of the stasis pods had failed during our voyage,
|
||||
leaving 20 of our crew dead.
|
||||
|
||||
We had no idea where the ship was, other than it appeared to have
|
||||
drifted into a nebula. It is very colorful outside! Being in a
|
||||
nebula also means that we had wandered way off course.
|
||||
|
||||
So, let's see... updates!
|
||||
|
||||
Kit, our Catfolk doctor, has been concerned about me, Evidently
|
||||
I have had hibernation sickness, and go into states where I act
|
||||
a bit erratically, running about yelling that I miss my fox,
|
||||
and that I want to climb trees.
|
||||
|
||||
I don't remember these "episodes". I think Kit is just toying
|
||||
with me. And anyways, our ship is starting to grow trees, so
|
||||
if I am really doing that, well, I'll have a tree to climb
|
||||
soon enough (see below!).
|
||||
|
||||
Also, Yonas, my first officer, has threatened to relieve me
|
||||
of command several times. I don't understand why! Our last
|
||||
conversation went something like this -
|
||||
|
||||
#################
|
||||
# Conversation
|
||||
#################
|
||||
|
||||
Yonas: You are not yourself Captain. Half the time you seem
|
||||
half-sane, and half the time I think you are being possessed
|
||||
by an alien being.
|
||||
|
||||
Lantashi: Oh, Yonas. You don't mean that. Look, the ship is
|
||||
still in one piece, and we will find our position in this
|
||||
Cosmic Voyage soon. I promise.
|
||||
|
||||
Yonas: Really? Where are you half the time? The AI, Foxy, says
|
||||
that you are in engineering, climbing on the equipment. That
|
||||
Fusion Reactor has been unstable as it is! We don't need you
|
||||
pulling out any essential wires.
|
||||
|
||||
Lantashi: If you only believed you would only begin to exist.
|
||||
|
||||
Yonas: What does that even mean???
|
||||
|
||||
Lantashi: I need a new Harpy Sister.
|
||||
|
||||
Yonas: You are an only child! And what is a Harpy Sister??
|
||||
|
||||
Lantashi: What are you going on about, Yonas? I was just saying
|
||||
that our engineer is slowly getting the reactor stabilized, and
|
||||
we should have enough power to get underway soon!
|
||||
|
||||
Yonas: You were talking about harpies!
|
||||
|
||||
Lantashi: Yonas, you should talk to Kit. I don't think you are
|
||||
feeling well.
|
||||
|

# Report Continued
|

#################
|
||||
|
||||
I didn't believe Yonas' version of the conversation, but Foxy (the
|
||||
AI) played it back for me. So, yes, I might be under a little
|
||||
stress. But you can't blame me!
|
||||
|
||||
More news:
|
||||
|
||||
Dothmer, the Chief Security Officer, seems to think we are dead,
|
||||
and that the "heavens" that we are wandering through are the
|
||||
literal "heavens" of his religion. He's composing a ballad about
|
||||
the ship right now, thinking that the QED system might be about
|
||||
to broadcast his poem to the living.
|
||||
|
||||
I don't know if the QED system has *that* capability... but,
|
||||
who knows?
|
||||
|
||||
The QED is working (yeah, yeah, I know... I'm typing on it),
|
||||
and we are receiving transmissions! But they might be alien
|
||||
transmissions, or perhaps some sort of encrypted computer code.
|
||||
We're currently trying to decode it.
|
||||
|
||||
And there is a report about another ship that whose crew is being
|
||||
activated from stasis. I don't think that crew is going to be of
|
||||
much help to us, but if you receive this transmission, feel free
|
||||
to respond.
|
||||
|
||||
Bearth, our Elephant Man engineer, managed to get the hydroponics
|
||||
mirrors working. What are those, you ask? Well, it is a system that
|
||||
combines our water supply (of course... hydro) with, well, Windows,
|
||||
basically. We open up windows on the outside of the ship, and the
|
||||
light filters through a series of tunnels, and is centered
|
||||
into The Garden.
|
||||
|
||||
The Garden is a part of our ship that I insisted on including.
|
||||
There is no way a Sylvan is going to be in space for near-eternity
|
||||
without some trees and fruit and vegetables. But the hydroponics
|
||||
system would only work in a star-system, and only if we were close
|
||||
enough in orbit to receive sufficient light.
|
||||
|
||||
Well, guess what? This nebula we're in, with its colorful rays
|
||||
of warm, beautiful light, seems to work with the hydroponics
|
||||
system, the light and water and soil, and The Garden (don't
|
||||
forget, capital 'T', very important!) is starting to bloom!!
|
||||
|
||||
And those silly scientists on Earth said this wouldn't work on
|
||||
the Dance!
|
||||
|
||||
However, the vegetables that already are starting to grow are a
|
||||
bit strange. Alien. Some of the crew even say sinister. But I like
|
||||
them. We have orange and purple trees springing up as well. The
|
||||
color is off, and the bark doesn't feel quite like the trees at
|
||||
home. These are totally new species, or maybe mutated species from
|
||||
the seeds that we had brought with us. Anyways, I guess that means
|
||||
I get to name them! Yay!
|
||||
|
||||
Okay, other news. The maintenance folks got the external sensors
|
||||
up and running, but only with minimal power. There is a star system
|
||||
.2 light-years away. I'm not sure how to label the direction, since
|
||||
I don't know where the center of the galaxy is. But the lights of
|
||||
nebula are thicker there, so for now I am refering to it as
|
||||
"nebula-coreward". Our engines are a bit under-powered right now,
|
||||
but I have given the order to make our way into the system. With
|
||||
any luck, we will find a planet with a breathable atmosphere, or
|
||||
if nothing else an astroid with needed materials.
|
||||
|
||||
What is that you ask?? (I think I'm talking to myself)... what
|
||||
about the crew still in stasis? Well, once The Garden vegetables
|
||||
grow, and if the vegetables are edible, the 10 of us who are awake
|
||||
are going to look at waking up the rest of the crew. Some of the
|
||||
remaining "sleepers" are engineers, that are to construct a colony.
|
||||
Some are scientists.
|
||||
|
||||
And we could use all their expertise! Hopefully soon we can wake
|
||||
them up.
|
||||
|
||||
Until later, Lantashi out.
