Summary:
Her Majesty's Star Ship Lollipop, named and often referred to as "The good ship"
in the spirit of whimsy which inspired the Canadian Dominion at its height, was
launched by the Ministry of Space from the Hongfu shipyards orbitting Titan on
AS 4878 / 2181 CE. The launch was officiated by Queen Nadie II herself. While
titularly a Canadian mission, the ship played host to an intercommunitarian crew
Her Majesty's Star Ship Lollipop, named and often referred to as
“The good ship" in the spirit of whimsy which inspired the Canadian
Dominion at its height, was launched by the Ministry of Space from
the Hongfu shipyards orbitting Titan on AS 4878 / 2181 CE. The
launch was officiated by Queen Nadie II herself. While titularly a
Canadian mission, the ship played host to an intercommunitarian crew
under auspices of the recently organized Solar Community.
The primary mission for HMSS Lollipop was as a secondary stage scout for
scientific outpost implantation. It was for a permanent outpost of 500 standard
anthropometres which the Canadian Dominion had been granted conditional license
by the SC Interstellar Consensus. But it was tacitly understood that the
Lollipop was to investigate Proxima Centauri b for prospective Terran
inhabitation. It was the second such mission to PC since the ill fated Lunar
Syndicate probe Sylvan had been destroyed in a stellar flare in 4858 had caused
most stakeholders to declare the PC system unfit for Terran life. However a
reappraisal of the data recovered by deep space telemetry stations suggested a
potential for life yet remained on Proxima Centauri b.

remained on Proxima Centauri b.
HMSS Lollipop held an intercommunal crew of 3^3/42 class Jia robots, 108 humans,
5 Jovian Hurrumirr-subtype63, and 8 bottlenose dolphins. Of these all but 15
were in hibernation. The Patel-V hibernation tank was developped specially for
the Lollipop mission, enabling expected decantation mortalities to drop under
10% for the first time. There were also biotic wards of lesser sentients,
plants, fungi, robota, Jovianae, and microbae massing at 956 tonnes.

The primary drive for traversing the 4.244 ly to Proxima Centauri was one of
the first Orion drives approved by the SC since WWIII and the postbellum
Compact had outlawed nuclear explosives within the orbit of Plutocharon. The
Lollipop was expected to reach a midpoint speed of ~0.3c, with a ETT of ~28y.
Ion propulsion and prototype Muon drives were to be used once in the PC
system.

.........Haha, that’s not real. You don’t actually think that.
(203734) I do! Look. When was the last time you heard of the
Ombudsmanship process being renegotiated eh? The Jovians certainly
...... amendments but it’s not like our vaunted consensus isn’t
at fault too. Since when do humans behave that way?
(203807) We started to build consensus long before we met them.
It’s not like there weren’t historical reasons for this. There was
pressure to either build the new systems or Earth was going to die.
It was survival of the species at stake. We had to grow up a bit.
Anyway, it’s not like politics don’t happen. Just look at what it
took to get this mission underway!
(203849) Huuuh. There’s nothing new in how this works. We think
we are so culturally evolved, but it’s the same old game as under
the old regime. We are given parameters under which to debate but
there is discipline so we cannot speak the unthinkable.
(203932) Well what is it you want? You want a return to the Old
Regime? You want people starving and Toronto 302 Kelvin in
the middle of February? The 5 Commitments have let us...
(203952) ...I’m not saying that. I’m not. I’m not saying it’s not
a good idea, the Commitments. I’m saying there is mendacity. You
know, lies? Isn’t that supposed to matter? That nothing is working
like our supposed leaders say it is? Why don’t you care that...
(204020) ...I do! I do care, of course, but I just don’t buy it.
Just what leverage do the Jovians have to put us through any such
...... when they don’t even have metal to work with. It’s ridiculous
to suggest they would do this when every ombud report suggests they
aren’t capable of duplicity.
(204128) Omission is not the same as lies. Why do they need to lie
when humans can do it for them eh? Primates lie, take the social
cost of that, right. It’s cheap, it’s easy. They just need to trust
that we will be what we are and we’ll do the work for them. Remember
on launch how their dang blimp...
(204203) ... Come on, now, no slurs. ...
(204208) ...said nothing when asked about potential settlement of
Jovians on PC-d? I know this is supposed to be tacit, but why is it
tacit to settle anyway? If the blimps are on the up and up, why all
the pussy footing with tentacles? They shouldn’t be able to even
think that way, right. I’m saying our Zeurology is completely off
whack, and there’s no way for that to be the case without someone
jerking us around.
(204301) You’re just spinning fantasies. I don’t buy it. It’s just
paranoiac deep space fever. The shamans said we would tip this way.
If you’re right, then there must be a motive. You’ve demonstrated
no motive.
(204341) Look. I’m just saying I smell smoke, eh. You don’t need
to see flames to smell smoke. But. Alright, you want motive? I can
give you a word or two but I need to know if you’re on side if it
turns out I’m right. Well?
(204422) Ha, of course. But you need to know I’m going to stress
test you every step. You don’t trigger a Commitment 4 without
some damned good reasons.
(204438) Alright. Remember the day of the royal bon voyage? Well,
the Queen gave us a pep talk after the honours ceremony and
blessing. Something she said struck me as odd, and it didn’t make
a lick of sense then, but. She sort of looked right at me and told
me to make sure I paid attention to the direction of clouds in the
