“Humans are Pigs!” Alice said “Technically, we’re primates.” I replied as I polished the glass door leading in to the best brew pub on the ship. “You know what I mean, Murray” ” Yes I do Alice. I have to clean up behind them.” I looked up and decided to do the ceiling ports. They…

If I could just give you a little advice about the gate……. Seriously. It was the weirdest thing I’ve ever had happen to me. We had spent the last 24 hours”battening down the hatches” as they say. Making sure that everything that could cause even the slightest hint of even the tiniest chance of causing…

Got off shift and wandered over to the pub. Ran in to Mercy and Bunny from engineering. I grabbed a pint from the bar and wandered over. “My two favorite folks that are smarter than me!” i said ” Mind if I join you?” Mercy slid a chair out with her foot. “Whats the word…

So, i’m working away, cleaning the hallways in the staff accommodations. A door opens and Bunny sticks her head out. She looked really scared. “you got a minute?” she asked “For you? anything.” I say, turning off the box I go into her room and she has this giant display showing everything in space around…

I was just finishing up cleaning the Head when Ted The Head came floating in. Coinkidink? The door opened and this…thing floated on in. It perused the bathroom, floating in to all the stalls one by one, stopped to admire itself in the mirror, then exited. As soon as it had left, the door…

“Oh man, this is good!” Dallas said, chowing down on his beef dip. “You say this isn’t real beef?” “Well technically it is, right down to the atomic level, but yes it is created from raw material and reassembled as beef” I said “And the beer?” he picked up his glass and had a sip…

So we finally finished the most boring tour in the history of the universe, and ended up on the Bridge. The only respite during the Captains monologue was when we were in Engineering, and got to see where the mainframe was. ” Hey” I said to Alice “Thats you!” ” Tell me truthfully,” Alice…

By “pilot the ship in” he meant just hang out and let the library do all the work. The inside of his ship had no controls, only four recliners facing a blank wall. Dallas waved at the wall and it became transparent. We were gliding in to one of the vast chasms that crisscrossed the…

The librarian sat cross legged in front of me hands resting on her knees, smiling. I was trying hard to find something else to look at, but she was the only thing in the room other than my beer glass which was suddenly full again. I took a nervous swig. “Do I make you uncomfortable?”…

“DUDE! ARE YOU NUTS?!” Dallas said and then toned it down. “You made her wear clothes?” “I’m sorry, but I find it somewhat distracting to have an adult conversation with a twelve foot naked woman sitting across from me cross-legged on the floor!” “You guys are pigs!” Juliette mentioned as she flew back and forth,…

The Librarian smiled. The floor around us shifted and reconfigured into seating. I plopped down in what looked like a chair. It immediately adjusted to my posture and weight. ” I wonder if it does massages?” I said. It did, gently vibrating and suddenly it felt like gentle hands messaging my shoulders. Dallas dropped…

The Factory “I flew my ship over to the Cascadia and surrendered” I said “I spent two years in “De-briefing” and then they conscripted me into the Peacekeepers.” “Wow!” Dallas said ” a bonafied war hero!” ” Nothing heroic about war. Just a bunch of people getting killed because someone up the food chain is…

I was standing on the bridge of the new ship that the library had built for us as per Dallas’ specs. It was a stupid design. A saucer mounted on a long neck to a large body. Two long shafts protruded diagonally out from the back sporting these things he called “nacelles”. They didn’t really…

I opened my eyes and, there she was staring at me, again. I sat up and rubbed my face. “Why do you keep doing this? It’s creepy.” “I do not sleep,” she said “in fact, ‘sleep’ is a rare thing in the universe in general, and I find myself endlessly fascinated by it. “ “Don’t…
