[compared to their arrival and the general chaos that the monsters created, their departure is quite peaceful. no matter where they happen to be throughout the ship, every creature stops whatever it is doing, seems to flicker, and then simply fades away. any suit a passenger is wearing does the same and the Spheres, if they have been altered in ( Read more... )

[while it may have been simply implied for all the wonderful months that have been spent enjoying the captain's grand company, it is now clear that he has a Sphere of his own. why? because it appears to have turned on without his permission. it's following along behind him, transmitting his image throughout the network.

This is the Captain speaking. I'm afraid to say that it's come to my attention that there has been some tampering with ship's systems.

[he certainly sounds serious. the intercom snaps on sometime in the late evening and in contrast to his usual appearances, Captain Ganymede can't been seen very well. there's a shadowed view of the bridge, the ( Read more... )

Good afternoon passen--if you can hear this--gers! This is C--ommander Orion--aptain Ganymede!

[it's about mid-morning when the shipwide comm cheerfully snaps on, with everyone's favorite commanding officer appearing with it]Captain Ganymede here everyone! How is everyone today? I'm happy to report that all ship functions are are operating at optimum efficiency. Our head engineer tells me you've been making good use of the holo-suite and ( Read more... )

"Good evening passengers! Captain Ganymede here to apologize for this evening's brief turbulence. We’re right back on schedule and the crew of the IASC-Crucible and myself will be working around the clock to make your stay with us an enjoyable and memorable experience ( Read more... )
