Ship’s log, 16:32, 26 May 2214 Location: Alpha Centauri to Beta Apodis FTL corridor Status: Sublight transit Coming out of another FTL jump, I feel like my hull is humming. Elliott keeps griping about stress fractures, even though we haven’t found any yet. Bit and Byte have been scouring my bulkheads and beams, just […]
Chief Engineer’s log, 14:28, 21 May 2214 Location: Corsica to Alpha Centauri FTL corridor Status: Sublight transit This is Engineer Monaghan, logging on the 21st of May, blah blah, reporting on the refit of the Starwalker. We’ve been installing a bunch of new gear: check the logs if you want to know what, but […]

I don’t have […]
Ship’s log, 06:30, 16 May 2214 Location: Orbit around Corsica Sol, Corsica system Status: Star Step drive active It’s a new morning and everyone is eager to get going today. We have a new plan, a new way to help this star. The latest simulations ran smoother than our previous ones, and returned the […]
For those who are curious about behind-the-scenes stuff, I wrote about my plans for Starwalker in 2013 (among other projects) over on my writing blog recently. There’s also a post about how writing Starwalker has been going lately. Please feel free to drop by, comment, make suggestions, or just say hi! What do you think […]
Ship’s log, 11:19, 15 May 2214 Location: Orbit around Corsica Sol, Corsica system Status: Star Step drive active This isn’t going well. We started the work on Corsica’s gravity tides four hours ago. We had the simulations all calculated, the factors all built in. We had a plan of attack. Everyone agreed that we […]
