Ship’s log, 10:57, 29 September 2213 Location: Intersystem between the JOP and Corvus FTL Corridor Status: Sublight transit I feel like I’m going backwards. Dr Cirilli insisted that we need to repeat at least one of our previous Steps, for ‘scientific confirmation’. She had a long, drawn-out argument with the captain about it – […]
Ship’s log, 14:39, 6 October 2213 Location: Intersystem between the JOP and Corvus FTL Corridor Status: Sublight transit It’s a long trip out of this side of the JOP’s region. A long time to ponder things, to turn them over and over in my processors like strange rocks etched with ancient, indeciferable writing. That […]
Chief Engineer’s log, 19:54, 13 October 2213 Location: Intersystem between the JOP and Corvus FTL Corridor Status: Sublight transit That Cirilli cow is insisting that I do regular logs ‘to support the scientific research’. For fuck’s sake. I haven’t done repairs anywhere near her precious Star Step equipment for weeks, and Wong keeps me […]
Captain’s log, 12:16, 20 October 2213 Location: Intersystem between the JOP and Corvus FTL Corridor Status: Sublight transit This is Captain Warwick reporting. We’re almost a month out of the Jumping-Off Platform, heading back to the Minkar system. There, we will backtrace the last Star Step we did, aiming for a contemporary Grisette rather […]
Ship’s log, 20:31, 27 October 2213 Location: Intersystem between the JOP and Corvus FTL Corridor Status: Sublight transit I’ve been so caught up in myself lately. Elliott is adamant that we shouldn’t risk exposing my true nature so close to the JOP, so I’ve been stuck playing the automaton AI. It’s surprisingly dull, and […]
Ship’s log, 04:12, 3 November 2213 Location: Intersystem between the JOP and Corvus FTL Corridor Status: Sublight transit It makes sense now. All those indeciferable actions of Tripi’s have a discernable purpose. It was all leading to this moment, this place. I managed to put it off, but I couldn’t avoid it entirely. I […]
Ship’s log, 08:24, 10 November 2213 Location: Intersystem between the JOP and Corvus FTL Corridor Status: Sublight transit, half speed Can’t talk much right now. There’s so much happening. I’m trying to put the logs together from the last few days to keep… I don’t know. Because I need for there to be a […]
Ship’s log, 12:42, 17 November 2213 Location: Intersystem between the JOP and Corvus FTL Corridor Status: Sublight transit, half speed Where did I get to? Oh yes. The Bountiful arrived, slinking out from its hiding place to scoop us up. At the time, it looked like they’d planned it that way all along, laid […]
Ship’s log, 16:43, 24 November 2213 Location: Intersystem between the JOP and Corvus FTL Corridor Status: Sublight transit, half speed We’re almost to the Corvus FTL corridor now. I’m being taken there in case Is-Tech is keeping track of me. This was our planned destination, so we’ll go there. As soon as we hit […]
Ship’s log, 12:39, 1 December 2213 Location: Intersystem between the JOP and Corvus FTL Corridor Status: Sublight transit, half speed I’m not sure who was more surprised by the appearance of my avatar: my crew, or me. The pirates, well. They were mostly bewildered, and that made me nervous; confused people with guns have […]
