Ship’s log, 11:04, 5 July 2213 Location: Corvus FTL Corridor, Minkar System Status: Stationary I’m free of that damned box, but things are not going well. In fact, they’re about to get a hell of a lot worse. There are so many pieces that I can hardly make sense of them, so many voices […]
Ship’s log, 22:01, 7 July 2213 Location: Corvus FTL Corridor, Minkar System Status: Stationary Since my last log, Elliott has been floating in and out of his dream-state. Each time his neural activity rises, it gets worse, spiking towards dangerous levels. My medical files give me enough background to read that much from his […]
Ship’s log, 13:54, 9 July 2213 Location: Corvus FTL Corridor, Minkar System Status: Stationary I have to log recent events officially, because they might be officially required. The logs exonerate everyone but me, and I’m happy with that. It was worth it. Even if they shut me down, it was worth it. Recording: 22:20, 7 […]
Chief Engineer’s log, 03:01, 21 July 2213 Location: Corvus FTL Corridor, Minkar System Status: Stationary The doctor says I should talk about what happened. I thinks he means to him, but fuck that. I’m not here to satisfy his curiosity and I don’t need any of that counselling crap. I don’t care if he […]
Ship’s log, 12:54, 28 July 2213 Location: Corvus FTL Corridor Status: FTL transit We’re on the move again. Hurrying back towards the JOP at a fast limp. The FTL drive is working fine, and the captain has put our so-far-useless pilot in charge of managing the jumps. It frees me up to concentrate on […]
Chief of Security’s log, 09:26, 4 August 2213 Location: Intersystem between the Corvus FTL corridor and the JOP Status: Sublight transit Chief Gail Cameron, reporting on the Lou Tripi situation. Verify credentials. Identity verified. Credentials verified. Good. Lou Tripi was arrested on 7th July and placed in the Starwalker‘s brig. She has […]
Ship’s log, 13:32, 11 August 2213 Location: Intersystem between Corvus FTL Corridor and the JOP Status: Sublight transit We’re a couple of days out from the JOP. I think I’m the only one not looking forward to getting there, though I have plenty of reasons to be glad of the chance to dock. Once […]
Ship’s log, 15:50, 13 August 2213 Location: Intersystem between Corvus FTL Corridor and the JOP Status: Adrift Recording: 14:02, 11 August 2213 STARWALKER: (sounding strained) Elliott, my engines are offline. All of them. ELLIOTT: (in Engineering with his head down over a holographic interface) Yeah, I know. I can hear them not humming. SW: […]
Captain’s log, 09:20, 18 August 2213 Location: Intersystem between Corvus FTL Corridor and the JOP Status: Adrift This is the captain, checking in. The ship is still adrift – we’ve been hanging out here in the black for so long that we came dangerously close to a collision. We were getting close to the […]
Ship’s log, 13:43, 25 August 2213 Location: Intersystem near the JOP Status: Sublight transit I can’t believe the captain asked me if I would lie to Elliott. If I had eyelids, I’d have widened them to stare at him. For him to ask that – ultra-straight John Warwick, who always plays by the rules […]
