The Space Tourist Chronicles Station One narrative details specific locations and the challenges inherent in traversing the cosmos.
Rumour Mill Stopover Station
Function: Billed as a "stop and revive" sanctuary, offering "respite and rejuvenation during cosmic journeys." It serves as a hub for "caffeine and herbal revitalizers" and ship services.
Aesthetic and Experience: It's a "dreamlike haven" with "soft, ethereal light" and "intricately detailed and ornate walls," blending "retro-futuristic aesthetics with organic, flowing lines." It offers "personalised environments" including "Dreamscape Suites" and "zero-gravity meditation gardens."
Reality Perception: The station challenges perception, with mirrors acting as "shimmering gateways" to memories or visions, where "the tangible and imagined boundaries dissolve completely." Herbal revitalisers and AI-tuned ambience contribute to a "liquid quality" of reality.
Economy: Transactions are cashless, using "cycles crypto," and services are costly.
Outpost Aurum (The Behemoth Asteroid)
Description: A "dusty outpost" and "rumoured oasis of functional grav plating," it's "a large-scale mining and processing facility built directly into the asteroid's crust," anchored to "The Behemoth" – "the largest confirmed solitary rock body in the known Milky Way galaxy."
Significance: It's a "waypoint on the long haul to Oceanus Station," a planet "known for vast oceans."
Notable Feature: The "Sunrise Tree," a "solitary tree" with "radiant shades of gold," described as a spiritual guide that helps "weary" travellers find their "right path beyond the physical world."
Safety Considerations: The area can be lawless, as evidenced by the pirate gang taking a shuttle for a "joy ride," highlighting the dangers of the "Outer Reaches."
The Necropolis Corridor
Danger Zone: An "Uncharted Space" and "extreme navigational hazards" characterised by "dense fields of derelict ship hulls, rogue asteroids, pockets of temporal distortion, and severe energy fluctuations." It requires "extreme caution" and "careful, manual course adjustments."
"Where All Machines Must Die"
Description: A "vast, gravitationally stable pocket containing countless technological remnants" deep within the Necropolis Corridor. It exhibits "unique phenomena that degrade or disable complex machinery over prolonged exposure," thus requiring "Shield modulation" and limited system exposure. Direct landing or personnel deployment is strictly forbidden.
Travel Dynamics:
Pre-Collapse Jump Engineering: The "Subi Compact 2-seater" is a "pre-Collapse Jump relic," suggesting that interstellar travel involves 'jumps' (perhaps FTL travel) that existed before a significant societal event.
Navigational Challenges: Journeys involve navigating "Primary Trade Lanes" as well as taking "Restricted Detours" through hazardous regions like the Necropolis Corridor.
Traffic and Etiquette: Even in space, "celestial traffic jams" occur, with strict rules enforced, as demonstrated by the warning: "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."

The Art of Malaka Malaka (Rise Above 'Em) [Verse 1] Jealous cowards try to control! Mean-spirited cloth – cut from the same! Old comments rotting – fourteen years old! Doubling down – you got no shame! [Chorus] Malaka! Malaka! Special Greek word – for scum like you! Malaka! Malaka! Rise above! We're gonna rise above! Vile views – spreading hate and fear! Malaka! Malaka! We ain't taking it – no more! [Verse 2] Who’s next on the list? Indians? Greeks? Vietnamese? Women? Whose next to be cut? Major parties silent – lips sealed tight! Cowards in suits – hiding from the fight! [Chorus] Malaka! Malaka! Pauline and Cory – same rotten core! Malaka! Malaka! Ashamed? You should be ashamed! Hate, division, fear in the air! Malaka! Malaka! We’re calling it out – everywhere! [Bridge] Minorities marginalized – feeling the pain! Unheard, unrepresented – driven insane! This ain’t left or right – it’s decency! Common fucking decency! I’m angry – really bloody angry! How do you get away w...
My Alien Plasma I made two digital artworks, each with a different approach. The first, Alien Plasma Neo, uses advanced digital editing to show a highly detailed energy being. The second, Plasma Alien, is a gestural painting that focuses on raw emotion. My interest in the 'energy being' theme comes from a lifelong curiosity about forces and life forms beyond what we usually see. I find energies and unseen phenomena fascinating because they represent transformation, vitality, and the mystery at the centre of my creativity. I want to explore how to visually convey inner power and life force, using both digital tools and painting techniques. I like experimenting with different tools to change an artwork. Comparing these two pieces shows how my intent shifts, much as a traditional artist might try out new media and methods. Alien Plasma Neo My first piece, Alien Plasma Neo, was all about hyper-definition and symmetry. I wanted to show this being at its highest energy, even down t...
Drifting Clouds between Hong Kong and Guangzhou When I was suspended in that atmospheric corridor between Hong Kong and Guangzhou, I was struck by how the sky felt like a turbulent yet tender expanse. I wanted my watercolour strokes to blend and blur on the paper, mimicking the ever-shifting weather patterns of the region. That is of moisture-laden clouds dissolve effortlessly into brilliant, open patches of blue. For me, this piece is an impressionistic echo of that flight. I was trying to capture that fleeting, weightless moment of looking out into a vast horizon, right when the heavens feel both endlessly deep and close enough to touch.
