Our five-year mission through deep space includes all we could ever want: adventure, trials, tragedies, and triumphs. The journey and discoveries along the way are replicated food for our soul. But sometimes all you want to do is dump the crew off at Risa, so you can have some peace and quiet. While everyone's on shore leave, you can finish researching a fascinating rediscovery: Kiwi Syslog Server.

Finally, with the crew away, you have the time to breathe and brush up on some new skills, so you can step into the captain's ready room with confidence. Pull up a screen, sit back, and grab one of those blue beverages—you know the ones. Remember, the doctor said it's not prohibited if it's used for medicinal purposes.

  • Unless there were outside the shield sensors that did not filter out energy modulation of the shields and sent it back to the ship, there would not be a way to detect the incoming missile. In order for the shields to be transparent to ship sensors they would have to be able to filter the modulation out. So not only would the missile make the shields useless, many of the ship sensors would not see the incoming energy weapon.

    Orbiting sensor arrays, outside the shields, need to have shields themselves with unique modulation sequences. Then they could provide total situation awareness of the battle space.

    But hey, am am just a mere earthling with limited knowledge of space weaponry and battle tactics.

    Guide Entry: Planet Earth

    by Katie Jarvis

    Originally thought mostly harmless, the people of earth are now known to be completely harmless – except to each other. Various life-forms have considered destroying mankind, but the indigenous peoples are doing the job so well themselves, these aliens left, depressed by the lack of challenge.

    Earthlings are divided into two categories: those with no food, and those with so much they become cuboid and unable to move. The cubes spend their time inventing devices to do their work for them, then spend their days – and money – trying to counteract the mind-numbing lethargy that ensues from this idleness.

    So impressed are earthlings with the beauty of their planet, they’ve created various modes of transport to enable them to visit every picturesque corner. Thus they travel to rainforests, where they cut down the trees to create paper for travel documents; to fauna-rich swamps, which they drain in the hope of finding new fuel sources for their vehicles; and to flower-filled meadows, ideal for motorways to allow them to return to where the rainforests once were.

    Two forms of government are favoured: dictatorship, where the leader rides roughshod over the people; and democracy, where the leader asks the people if they’d mind first, before riding roughshod over them.

    They have countless religions, though it’s considered kinder not to let them know they were created as a Yr 13 project by a student of the Universal Vocational Skills College, now sited on Stultus B. He failed.

    Aliens’ favourite joke: What would you get if you crossed mankind with an intelligent life-form? Answer: an intelligent life-form.

    Conclusion: mostly stupid.
