The Anomaly

Image
  The Anomaly is Unmapped The anomaly represents a crucial, unmapped energy signature located deep in space adjacent to the entry of the hazardous Necropolis Corridor. This is a treacherous region of space bordering the vast and largely unexplored Kelpian Expanse. For the beleaguered crew of the Subi spacecraft, this enigmatic signature is more than just a navigational curiosity; it embodies a desperate hope and a potential, albeit perilous, path of survival. Their current trajectory places them in dire straits, with resources dwindling and the looming threat of the Necropolis Corridor's inherent dangers closing in. The anomaly, therefore, is not merely a distant beacon but a tangible, albeit uncertain, opportunity to escape their predicament and secure their future. Its precise nature and potential uses remain a mystery. Yet, the very existence of such a powerful and unrecorded energy source offers a tantalising possibility of reprieve from an otherwise inescapable doom. Podcast:...

Old Maps and Detours

 

The excitement of space travel

Two space tourists, their faces alight with the glow of the control panel, embody the thrill of embarking on an interstellar voyage within their spacecraft Subi. A shared sense of purpose and the lure of uncharted territories are evident in their eager expressions, capturing this pivotal moment of anticipation.

Between them, a Cyborg Spoodle stands as more than a mere comfort pet. Enhanced with subtle cybernetics, it is crucial to the mission. Alongside emotional support, this Spoodle gathers data and participates in strategic planning. Its heightened senses relay real-time information to Subi, proving its integral role.

The "NAVIGATIONAL BRIEFING & ITINERARY," projected on a holographic display behind them, outlines their cosmic path. Here, space tourism intertwines human enthusiasm with advanced tech and devoted, versatile companionship. Every meticulously planned journey promises a profoundly rich experience.


Description

Join us on an epic space adventure aboard the "Subi Compact 2-seater," a pre-Collapse Jump relic of a spaceship! 

🚀 We’re following Katcha the spoodle’s charted course from Rumour Mill Station, braving the hazards of the Necropolis Corridor, and even making a detour to the mysterious "Where All Machines Must Die." Our final destination? The colossal Outpost Aurum on the Behemoth Asteroid! Expect celestial traffic jams with star-swallowing cruise ships, encounters with relics of ancient spacefarers, and the thrill of exploring uncharted territories. Buckle up for a journey filled with humour, danger, and boundless curiosity!

Transcript

We now travel at speed through countless cosmic scars, our vessels guided by precise, real-time navigational streams. Yet, it is special to go through the archives of old maps. Yes, those faded, brittle space charts on paper. They seem laughably rudimentary now, but I still collect them. These hand-drawn constellations with speculative wormhole entries, often marked with little more than “a great place for a getaway", are so precious. The thrill of discovery smells so intoxicating.

The wonder they evoke! Imagine those first intrepid travellers, their ships nowhere as space-ready as our "Subi Compact 2-seater”.  Each blank expanse, each dotted line, represented not just distance, but an unwritten chapter of discovery. They launched into the uncharted corridors of space with only the raw promise of the unknown, their courage a compass, their destiny etched in the very act of venturing forth. Those old charts, for all their outdated lines, whisper tales of true pioneers, of a boundless curiosity that paved the way for our current interstellar wanderings.

The detour of boundless curiosity. After a shot of Kepler Kiss and Cosmo's bark, we shot from The Rumour Mill Stopover, eager for adventure. Our Brass Monkey hummed, but the universe had a curveball: our Subi hit a celestial traffic jam. Trapped behind a colossal cruise ship, its bulk swallowing stars, we slowed to a tiny speck in its wake.

"Subi Compact 2-seater, you are obstructing a Class-A recreational vessel. Initiate immediate reverse thrust or face punitive fines and a mandatory re-education course on galactic traffic etiquette." 

Subi, threw itself into reverse faster than a startled space cockroach. After a respectable, 'I'm-not-causing-any-trouble' distance was established, we nudged forward again, engaging the takeoff procedure with the kind of caution usually reserved for defusing ancient Egyptian booby traps.

With a mechanical groan the colossal cruise ship shuddered into motion. It was our cue! Subi put the throttle to the floor and we shot forward. The cosmos was ours again, once we could overtake a cruiser blocking our way. 

With a mechanical groan that sounded suspiciously like a disgruntled space whale, the colossal cruise ship finally lumbered into the cosmos. Subi, our trusty little tin can, responded with the enthusiasm of a caffeinated office worker, slamming the throttle down. We shot forward, finally free to explore the vast expanse, just as soon as we navigated around the star-swallowing behemoth.
