The radio crackled away, repeating its message on all channels. I
|
|
haven't had contact with The Revengerists in 66 days by my count.
|
|
But there is no sun, so night and day, just hours dripping by
|
|
blurring together like every other hour lost in space.

The ship's AI has picked up broadcast of Elvis Presley's "Aloha
|
|
from Hawaii" - via satellite by some cruel joke of this universe,
|
|
and calculated that this could mean we were somewhere in the
|
|
vicinity of Gliese 422, but we could be anywhere at roughly the
|
|
same distance. "Steamroller Blues" is crooning from the control panel.
|
|
Every direction the stars are unfamiliar, I can't find any
|
|
recognizable constellations. Fortunately, provisions won't be a
|
|
problem - the Refreshlicator has ample supplies of stem-protons and
|
|
is generating more at its expected rate.
|
|
|
|
There's a potential Goldilocks system nearby, it may be our only
|
|
hope of getting back...
