Inside the building, she approaches the reception desk.] Lily Morrison [nervous]: Is this the GNA office? Jon Raadik [tired]: It is. Lily Morrison [no longer nervous]: Good! I'm here to see Ben. Is he around? He told me that my job starts today. [The light for "live on air" goes out, and Ben walks out from the studio room.] Ben Goldstein: Another day at the GNA! Oh, Lily, you're here! Welcome to the Galactic News Agency and our spacious facilities. So, I figured I'll get you started on an easy-promotion job: managing the scene switch computer to control what camera is actively displayed on TV. Lily Morrison: Okay. What else? [They walk over to the computer, and he points out some controls.] Ben Goldstein: This is only during the news segments, which shouldn't take too long. Maybe 30 minutes every few hours, but it would likely be next shift by the time the next news segments start. If you work over, we don't penalize overtime pay. Sometimes rare tragedies require us to stay working with nutrient/caffeine IVs for over 36 hours straight. Only happened once though... before I started working here, thankfully. Lily Morrison: When's the next news segment? Ben Goldstein: In about fifty minutes. I was going to get the team tacos. Want one? Lily Morrison: Sure! Ben Goldstein: Awesome opossum. So, on a scale of 10-100, how many spoonfuls of sour cream do you want on your tac- [Ben gets interrupted as the front door flies open and Presidential Protection Squad agents rush in, followed by an angry Sean Hendrix.] Sean Hendrix [angry]: Whaaaaaaaat did you people do????? The transcript of my speech and everyhing else for that matter is full of typos! Ben Goldstein: Uh... we don't manage that. We're just the Galactic News arm of the Summit Broadcasting Network. I've actually been meaning to ask why you decided to call this province a separate nation if you're still going to lead it, and I've also notic- Sean Hendrix: Huh? But... the advisors said that you manage... THEY'RE FIRED!!!!! Oh, and I saw that shit you were going to publish. You know, about some fake nonsense with staff, cops, residents, me apparently dying, some bullshit about the Summitian we assigned QEC credit to so we can say we made it WHO LEFT SUMMIT A FEW YEARS LATER FOR WHO KNOW WHY, and then you kill Ranway without giving US any justice? You people are supposed to be NEWS STAFF!!! REPORT ON THE TRUTH, DAMN IT! I'll take acts 1 scene 4 tough act 3 scene 1 that you HAD ready to "publish"... AND act 3 scenes 2 and 3 that you're DRAFTING WITH MORE ANTISUMMITIAN LIES!!!!!... "BASED ON A TRUE STORY"??? WHAT'S TRUE ABOUT THIS??? [paper bits go flying around the room, as Sean shreds the stack of random papers, that just happens to be the employees' bi-weekly paychecks.] Sean Hendrix: Someone should sweep here. It's a MESS! Oh, and... uh... wait... WHAAAAAAAAT??? WHY IS THERE A QEC PUBLISHING?????? I must leave before it publishes fully... protection squad, play the signal jamming noises, and... uh... well... so... that is all. [Exit Sean Hendrix with many papers and the protection agents] Ben Goldstein: Oh, I forgot. I put your soured cream on before Sean came in. Hopefully they didn't get too soggy now!... and my next show starts! Lily Morrison: Oh, wait I forgot to mention- Ben Goldstein [getting quieter, before slamming the studio door closed]: IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE GNA!

Welcome, to tonights episo- de of The Cosmic Compass, where we discuss the news rig- ht here at Zephyria! I'm your host, Captain Vaneria, pleased to be joining y- ou all for yet another exciting broadcast! In tonights episode, we have a lot to discuss. Everythi- ng from raiders coming over (what?!), to an injured cap- tain barely escaping death, right here at Zephyria! Cra- zy, I know. But true it is, I tell you! Starting tonight off, let's dive right into the first s- tory. Recent reports have suggested that more raiders a- re coming to Zephyria, at an alarming rate. At this pac- e, the Cosmic Allegiance might have to bring in the Gua- rd. Locals have been speculating that this might be par- t due to a wave of scavange runs across the galaxy, wit- h supplies starting to run low due to widespread sancti- ons and conflict. The governor has declined to comment. Moving onto our second story, word has been going aroun- d the Tavern that the hero who saved the captains life has departed from Zephyria due to mass fame, which is s- aid to not be the doctor's cup of tea. It is not clear where he migrated to, but we wish him all the well and safe travels!

Thanks all who helped unload the most recent produce shipment. And thanks again to those who stayed late after we discovered the beetles. The good news is that about 70% of the shipment was unaffected. The BETTER news is that the beetles were identified as a well-documented protein source! As a reminder, the Bicycle runs on a 24-hour cycle for the remainder of this navigational calendar. Breakfast As usual, breakfast is offered from Hour 6 to Hour 8. The hot option is burbur with a variety of savory toppings. The cold options include our ship's rotating stock of cereals and fruits. The last time I wrote this e-mail, I mistakenly assumed that coffee was implied. So to those who kindly wrote back inquiring after it: Yes, there will be coffee. Lunch Lunch is offered from Hour 11 to Hour 14. There is a small variety of leafy greens available with oil and vinegar for dressing if desired. There are breads of limited variety, and legume pastes, and preserved meats. There will still be coffee available at lunch. Dinner Dinner is offered from Hour 5 to Hour 8. Dinners this week alternate between: 1) A hot grain with options of hot vegetable protein or hot meat protein - or both - and, 2) A hot soup, roasted vegetables, and a mixed rice dish or vegetable protein. Enjoy your week, Keenan Head Chef, USS Bicycle </pre>]]></content> </entry> <entry> <title>bicycle - Weekly Menu</title> <author> <name></name> </author> <link rel="alternate" href="gopher://cosmic.voyage/0/bicycle/weekly_menu.txt"/> <id>gopher://cosmic.voyage/0/bicycle/weekly_menu.txt</id> <updated>2024-11-17T00:00:00Z</updated> <content type="html"><![CDATA[<pre> </pre>]]></content> </entry> <entry> <title>W3bK3rN3l Radio - wbknl-000026</title> <author> <name>w3bk3rn3l</name> </author> <link rel="alternate" href="gopher://cosmic.voyage/0/W3bK3rN3l%20Radio/wbknl-000026.txt"/> <id>gopher://cosmic.voyage/0/W3bK3rN3l%20Radio/wbknl-000026.txt</id> <updated>2024-11-04T15:35:39Z</updated> <content type="html"><![CDATA[<pre> ``` ___________. __ ________ ________ .__ __ _ _\_____ \_ |__ | | __\_____ \______ ____ \_____ \| | \ \/ \/ / _(__ <| __ \| |/ / _(__ <_ __ \/ \ _(__ <| | \ / / \ \_\ \ < / \ | \/ | \/ \ |__ \/\_/ /______ /___ /__|_ \/______ /__| |___| /______ /____/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ .___.__ ____________ __| _/|__| ____ \_ __ \__ \ / __ | | |/ _ \ | | \// __ \_/ /_/ | | ( <_> ) |__| (____ /\____ | |__|\____/ \/ \/ ``` W3bK3rN3l radio outpost wbknl-000026 ----------------------- KG-84 encrypted MIL-STD 188-110B Message made on an ISB circuit --> Croughton (AJE) --> Sigonella (NSY) { Several theorists suggest that this is a secret communication station for a secret society, agency, or government, to be used to communicate in an unbreakable, bizarre cipher.

Em Lagrange, um planeta suspenso entre sombras eternas, a luz e a escuridão tornaram-se palavras vazias; o céu é um gradiente de neons pálidos, sem sol, sem estrelas. Há apenas aquele horizonte nebuloso e distante, onde cada ruído parece uma ameaça. No interior abafado deste posto avançado, o rádio de onda curta crepita em intervalos irregulares, um som metálico, como a lâmina de uma faca arranhando o silêncio. Já me acostumei a este som, mas não consigo escapar da sensação de que alguém – ou alguma coisa – pode aparecer a qualquer instante. Não que espere companhia, mas, no frio metálico deste lugar, solidão e paranoia são aliados traiçoeiros. Em cada estalido do rádio, imagino passos ecoando, como se um espião invisível aqui estivesse, escondido, apenas esperando que eu baixe a guarda. As mensagens encriptadas são o meu único contato com o “mundo” – e mesmo assim, duvido que haja algo lá fora que ainda me importe. A rotina é esperar, agarrado ao rádio, como quem segura um fio de sanidade. Na Terra, em НЖТИ, as transmissões aconteciam numa cadência calculada e alienante, com pedaços de código morse que se decifravam mecanicamente, mas cuja importância sempre parecia escorrer por entre os meus dedos, como água turva. Havia algo de quase sedutor na minha missão, e que consistia em esperar pela próxima transmissão, sem saber se ela me traria mais consolo ou só mais um pouco de medo. Aqui, em Lagrange, olho para linha do horizonte, mas não há amanhecer. Não há sequer uma noite digna desse nome. Somente o eterno lusco-fusco, o brilho pálido que vaza as janelas blindadas do posto de rádio. Apenas a solidão e a esperança de, quem sabe, uma transmissão, uma voz, um sinal que seja.

Uma delas é poder ater-me à leitura do pequeno conjunto de livros que trouxe comigo para Lagrange. Leio-os vários vezes como se fosse a primeira vez. Alias, tomei a decisão de, sempre que volto ao início da leitura, renumerar manualmente as páginas, com um lápis, seguindo a lógica de paginação da última página. Isto é, se o livro termina na página 423, quando o volto a ler, a página 1 é renumerada como 424, e assim sucessivamente. Desta forma, mentalmente, nunca dou o livro como terminado. Gostava de poder fazer o mesmo com os álbuns de Frank Ocean.
