Naturally, as much as I'd like to dig deeply into the problem of my personal hack, I've informed our infosec personnel about the issue and dived into the larger issue at hand; presenting a cohesive, usefully honest narrative of the events while keep…

Terci gets a brief glance from me. That's some certainty on display. Still, I feel a deep relief. "Phew. Looks like our saboteurs took the hardware route, which leaves us with intact network security and arguable evidence that this wasn't my doi…

I start analysing the pattern of the missile fire against what I know about the ship's power plant and automation. There's an idea bubbling, but I don't quite know what to do with it yet. "Hmm..look into my medical data over the same period and se…

This pain is pushing my anger past a useful point. I need to cool off a little. Think. I've spoofed personal transponder IDs before. It's not easy but it's also not impossible. You can't crack the encryption in less time than a year, which is w…

"What?!" I twist in my seat to get a look at her and her datapad, unthinkingly raking some of the crash harness over my injury. I stifle a cry. I have been hacked. By some rebellion saboteurs who might even want to frame me for treason. I might …

Well, the ship outmasses us by about quadruple, and with no atmo signs on board, that means very little of that mass is superfluous to the ship's purpose; no human cargo to meticulously maintain. It can burn harder, make sharper turns and brake fas…

This is wonderful; to think, that I thought Alchea's expertise would be superfluous to the journeys of the Thousand Blessings. I'll admit it, I'm greedy for the time of anyone labeled the best at something, anyone else labeled a 'prodigy'. If I ca…

"Of course, I'll take over shields from here." I can't help but feel a little punished, but it gives me something to do. I'm sure Rajani means it earnestly. I let out a long breath at the sight of the destroyer. Terrifying. I love starships, an…

I straighten and give the loudspeaker an incredulous look. I am not a big believer in coincidences. Did the rebellion commit to a pronged attack on this ship out of uncertain logistics? They may not have expected to move Taru's ship here in time.…

I'm still amazed every day how much life I have ahead of me. The narrow gates all feel open and I can ride through 'em how I like. One thing I've been good at all my life is takin' on hurt and then getting better. My leg gets strong again, and …

I manage a smile for the engineering crew, leaning on the bulkhead. "That's good to hear, Terci. Recapture of control of our systems was a little hard won." Pain roughens my voice still, and I'm probably staining the front of my emergency plast…

"I've had better, Stanton. I'll have to delay those drinks with you, sadly." I tie the attached belt around my waist and think. "My assistant is probably still in main engineering working on a small project for me. Ping me if you need me, I'm ch…

I pat dry with the provided disposable towel and nod to Jek as he responds to the Captain's command and hands me the plastiweave jumpsuit which will be a ridiculous one-size affair. I'm glad he's got our little takeaway, and he wants me to know. F…

I could hardly be more sad or more grateful. It fills me up like the kind of clean ocean Zeus used to brag about. It mixes with the ways I miss Nana. It rains down my face in tears. I press Bon's hand again. Then I stand up, still weak in one l…

"What!?" Getting bodily pulled around is startling, but I catch up. Of course there's an emergency shower - standard in any room that handles volatiles like atmo, fueling and engines. My face scrunches up in pain and..can he seriously not tell wh…

Well. This is awkward. I look down at my chest and collarbone in something more like offense than anything else, at first. Of course I didn't take the time to change out of this plunging-neckline outfit. This seemed, you know, urgent. I do try …

I'm scared to squeeze her hand, even. "Means a lot to me, Zeus. I always wanted to do Nana proud, too. Give back what I got from her and the early girls like you." Looking at August, I catch her eye if I can. Pat the space next to me. I'm glad…
-
I frown a little bit. Cujo is having more of the same drama. Well, it's not for me to get involved right now. Girl gets mad and has a hard time knowing when to stop. Bon squeezes my knee, Vignette takes Zeus' hand, and I pull Bon towards me a bi…

"If you ever work with Angelique Tessalt, you'll hear her say 'everything is to my advantage.' We have to learn to turn our challenges and barriers into tools and opportunities." I say as I take an additional spike and set it to trigger on wetness…
-
There's nothin' and nobody I can take a swing at to keep Zeus goin'. I hate that. I'm seated nearby to Zeus, hair all down, even got a bandana over it to cover. We're going to ride her out, of course, to a nice spot to be put in the soil like any…

I return Jek's conspiratorial look. I want to get ahead of these people in case they try again. I prepare the spikes around the new growth and have some tongs nearby, with a case for isolation. A dumb case. Not radio-enabled, not dessicant-track…
-
"Hrm, got it." I take some probes out and peel back the growing node carefully, fascinated. "We could also freeze some of the new growth, yes? I have some liquid nitrogen 'spikes' for chiseling off seized parts and other applications.." I hand…
-
"Hmm, so it's bad luck if I work? I'll be sure to get extra drunk after we've gotten this thing licked, then." I settle in and arrange the tools I expect will be the most useful, trying to find that balance between available for the action and out…

"I wouldn't collect these skills and then leave them behind in an emergency." I wink, then smirk at Stanton as I re-open my kit and prepare to get my gloves dirty. "Left my personal gills in my other spaceship, too, so you're rather stuck with me.…
-
I nod along with Jek's analysis. It does ring rather true; we'll see. I flash my teeth in a mix of proud, amused sneer and exasperated grimace. "Jek, all of my enemies are inherited. Wait till I'm thirty, then I'll have some of my own." "Heh. …
-
I nod. "That was my thought, even if I'm wondering where the demands are by now. Did we cut it off early enough? Perhaps we're supposed to die in a way that implicates someone?"
-
"Of course. It will be a while before we fly without anxiety over this.." I lean in to Jek's conspiratorial tones. "..honestly, I don't. I just want them to be so I can shove them out an airlock. If they were here, they'd be insane to let it ru…
