Aug. 27th, 2018 10:16 amHello to you, my newfound roustabouts - my companions - dare I say, my comrades in arms? This is your favorite greenie, Radiostar, speaking! I know you were just thinking of me, last time you opened up your fridge and saw that peculiar shade of green spreading over your olives, and what can I say? I heard you, and I came.
Don't worry, I scraped it all off. It's worth remembering, kiddos: mold does not have roots, and everything is always perfectly safe to eat, so long as you cut deep enough. Mold? Please. That's how we make penicillin!
But enough of that. We're not here to talk about medicine, or vaccinations, or the lovely pink hue of our resident water supply. No, we're here to talk about us. Which is to say, to talk about you.
You see, you've all applied, and been selected, for a very special mission!, led by our very own Overseer! Or, technically speaking, me - but that's just semantics. Now, you should've all gotten the mission brief already. At the start of the next perigee, we're going to have a very special event occurring: we'll have the Ascension of a precursor ship a few nights in, which we will be raising, but it's not just any precursor ship.
It's Her Majesty's Ship The Battleworn Triumph of the One Thousandth Ebon Veils. The largest battleship of the first incursion, and the first to be built entirely in space - not in orbit, kiddos, in space, by a hundred thousand drones, synthesized specifically just for that work. It's a treasure trove of possibilities. We've never been able to pull it before, but it's drifted close enough for the first time, near enough for us to just reach down and hook it, for the first time since it was lost, nearly two thousand sweeps ago.
Two thousand sweeps! Write that number down in your calendars, because your ancestor wasn't even slurry on a pillow at that point.
But more important than the Triumph, and anything on it, is what it can do for us. Y'see, Triumph was made to be the companion of the very first legacy ship itself, An Eye Towards The Whispering Heavens on the Edge of the Unconquered Sky. And that means?
It can call it up, if we can just get into the systems.
So that'll be our first stop of the week. Triumph is our little test run! End of the week will be our end game run.
Any questions?
