Squigglism

Squigglism is the unique art form created in the early 2000's by famous artist Stefan Duncan. It has been described as a new branch of post-impressionism and as Neo-Gogh.

Stefan studied the masters, especially Vincent Van Gogh. Taking inspiration from the swirl patterns Van Gogh experimented with at the end of his career, Stefan tightened the pattern up. It is akin to pointilism using tight swirls. Using the resulting squiggles as the basis for his paintings, Stefan created whole murals with the shape.

Stefan worked in the luminism art movement, bringing the light out from the darkness. His specific technique for enacting this was to use unblended colors, dipping his brushes directly in the tube of acrylic paint, and brushing bold strokes on the canvass. While the painting dried from one end to the other, he would switch to the next color to layer on and between the prior strokes and squiggles of color. He also learned to incorporate the human form into his works, painting the trunk of a tree to resemble to body of his model.

The VanGoghGallery.com recognized Stefan as "America's Van Gogh" due to his extension of Vincent's master work. A New York appraiser predicted that upon his passing, Stefans works would rocket to $100,000 to $250,000 or more at auction, many times their original sale values.

In 2016 Stefan was accepted into the exclusive New York ART Group™, a datapad app downloaded by1,000s of Collectors, New York Visitors, gallery owners as well as visitors to New York City, to find galleries, museums, art events and of course to browse artists and their artwork.

In March of 2017 Stefan traveled to Italy, recognized by ArtTour Magazine as among the top 60 contemporary artists in the world. Stefan made the cut there, and was acknowledged as one of the top 15 artists in the world.

Stefan's pinnacle work was titled "Lady in Red." Here he incorporated his three major themes of Squigglism, luminism, and the human form into one inspired painting. This signature style would dominate his imagination and work for the reamainder of his long productive life.

The Tarsis family, which saved mankind from a freezing Earth in the mid-21st century, ensured to save most of Duncan's works, along with most of old Earth 1.0's masterworks. The great Lady in Red is reputed to hang in the family room of the Tarsis estate, on planet Ceres inside Earth's orbit, Sol system.

Modern Artist Kangee connected with Ceres Tauri aboard Asteroid Valhalla in the Periphery sector. Ceres commissioned Kangee to "paint" his new starship Pegasus with a full mural befitting its namesake. Kangee was long schooled and attained mastery of the forms of squigglism. He worked with magnetic brushes on the photoreactive layer of skin of the starship.

SaitoGemu

**SaitoGemu** is a Japanese game production company founded by Shou Saito. It appears primarily in the episode Playtest.

## History

Founded by the reclusive genius Shou Saito, the company specialises in creating horror based video games. Their most popular franchise is the Harlech Shadow series, which is described by Edge magazine as "reinventing the horror genre". They operate in several countries worldwide, including out of a converted castle in Berkshire, UK.

### Playtest

The company hires Cooper Redfield as a temporary video game tester through the app Oddjobs. Redfield has never heard of the company, but is informed by Sonja of their prominence in the gaming industry. She also asks him to send her photographic evidence of the new "immersive gaming" system they are creating, as the company is notoriously secretive regarding their development and such evidence would be worth more than what they are paying him.

He is collected by a taxi and taken to their facility in rural Berkshire, where he is greeted by Katie, and observes the advanced technology utilised by the companies development staff. The company has him sign a nondisclosure agreement before starting the test. After Coopers death (caused by a malfunction of the Mushroom by his cell phone signal), he is placed in a bodybag by two hazmat officers presumably also working for SaitoGemu.

### Hated in the Nation

SaitoGemu is referenced several times on the lower third news ticker of UKN broadcasts throughout the episode, with focus placed on the release of Harlech Shadow IV and the "immersive gaming system" in development. Harlech Shadow V is also briefly seen as a trending topic on Twitter.

### Striking Vipers

The immersive virtual reality game *Striking Vipers X* is manufactured and developed by SaitoGemu*.* It is given as a birthday gift to Daniel Parker by Karl.

### Smithereens

There are several hashtags referencing the company seen on newsfeeds on the Smithereen social media network, including one indicating a possibly partnership with Netflix.

* Katie - Test Supervisor

Susan Taylor

**Susan Taylor** is a supporting character in Nosedive. She is portrayed by Cherry Jones.

## History

Susan, a truck driver, passes Lacie Pound on the road while the latter is hitchhiking to Port Mary. Susan offers Lacie a ride and Lacie reluctantly accepts. Lacie skims Susan's social media feed as they drive, and Susan correctly guesses that she is unnerved by Susan's exceptionally low rating of 1.4 and is looking for an explanation. She tells Lacie her life story: when she was younger, she obsessively pursued social status, earning a 4.6 rating. When her husband, Tom, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Susan tried to leverage her high status to get him the very best treatment. Tom applied to a promising experimental treatment program, but he was rejected in favor of someone with a higher rating. After Tom died from his illness, Susan became disillusioned with the rating system. She started speaking her mind and ignoring social norms whenever it pleased her. Her former friends turned their backs on her and her rating plummeted. Susan tells Lacie how liberating it felt to shed her status obsession and encourages Lacie to follow in her footsteps. When Susan drops Lacie off the next day, she gives her a gift of whiskey in a travel mug, calling it an "escape hatch".

## Memorable Quote

Checking my feed for danger signs? I get it a lot. 1.4 gotta be an antisocial maniac, right?

You're a 2.8, but you don't look 2.8.

Aquapolis

Planet Aquapolis: This large ocean planet is one of the most fertile food planets on the Rim. The natives here protect their seafood resources with strict fleet and catch limits determined by stewardship-minded marine biologists. By “marine” we mean, they are Aquapolitan natives who are themselves an aqueous species.

The natives look like a large crayfish or lobster species, bodies held low and long on the ground when forced to walk out of the water. They have large powerful pincers, small grasping pincers akin to human hands, and ten swimming appendages underneath their powerful flipper tails. They have a tough segmented armor exoskeleton which is super light yet extremely tough.

Their cities are reminiscent of human’s space station designs, though flooded and domed to keep out large predators. Their warf/cities are most reminiscent of Old Earth 1.0’s Dubai Palm islands, with more canals and tunnels than land surface. Seafood buyers pop down to bid on catches, then handlers pop the foodstuffs up to orbiting warehouses or the cargo ships themselves.

Ceres’ mother AnneMarie enjoyed coming here to escape into the private island experience. The exact location of the Tarsis family island retreat is unknown, lost among the vast oceans and islands of the giant planet.

Harper

Harper, the cyborg tank. Harper is a Galactic military veteran, a mechanized infantryman who now embodies those words in a horrific way. His body destroyed in enemy action, Harper was saved through cybernetic technologies going to the extremes in every damaged area of his body.

Over half of his body has been replaced with a large arsenal of weapons and gadgets, life support, all carried forward by a low, tracked, tank body.  Harper doubles as the pack-mule for the Blood Tide, Grizzly Barnes’ storied mercenary corps. He’d better, Grizz is his father.

Serenity O'Share

Growing up on Terran Tor, fraught with alien dangers,
      Only the strongest women survive. Those who rise to power,
             Lead their Matriarchal society, shaping the world.

Serenity set out to find a mentor, growing her secret abilities.
      She knew she could escape one pirate ship,
             But not... *thousands of them!*

Sensing the good, the compassion,
      The hero hidden within the pirate prince,
             Serenity put the thought into his mind to save her.
       \*       \*       \*      \*       \*       \*
If he survives his duel--the stakes: her life--
      She will give him a greater mission:
             Free not only her, but *all* the slaves.

Can she trust him?
     Lead him?
            Love him?

If he saves her body, can she save his soul?
      Can she stay her heart,
             From crashing into his, whole?

  Fainting damsel or fighting heroine?

A beautiful Amazon who's fought the fiercest creatures known to man, to earn her title of adulthood and right to choose a mate, She chooses instead to go in search of anyone who can train her secret abilities, who fends off pirates from abusing her after capture by using said secret abilities, who picks an ally out of the crowd and molds him into the hero she needs to free her and thousands of slaves, ultimately rescuing *Him*, *twice*, while judging his worthiness to bond with her mind, heart, body, & soul.

Serenity O'Share was born and raised on the Planet Terran Tor. Her people are legendary across the galaxy, knicknamed the fierce "Amazon's".

An Old Earth 1.0 colony from Ireland brought the usual million settlers to this wild location. The local fauna proved so deadly, most of the military and security personell landed were decimated in the first two waves. This skewed the population into a gross imbalance in favor of females about 60%, to 40% males remaining in the colony. Women took on most leadership roles.

From ariel platforms, the more dextrous female sharpshooters quelled the indigenous fauna enough that the colony could finally land on one of the larger island continents and begin farmsteading operations. Terran Tor assumed a matriarchal society which survives as such to this day.

During a mission trip across the Periphery Sector, Serenity was last seen aboard a luxury yacht named *Wanderlust.* This spaceship was captured in orbit by the Void Vikings pirate band during a raid on Shangri-La, the capital city of planet Nirvana.

Serenity has revealed little about her personal background. Ceres has been overheard referring to her as "my Sweet Red Strawberry," to which she responds favorably to him. It would be unwise for others to refer to her thusly, considering the two strong and protective personalities involved in this relationship.
Nobita/Nobita meets Laughterblast

*[In a hotel hallway. Suneo, Doraemon and Shizuka are standing with under an AC vent. Suneo is looking impatient and angry, Shizuka is looking bored while Doraemon keeps glancing around him. They appear to be waiting for something.]*

**Shizuka:** Where's Nobita?

**Suneo:** \*annoyed voice\* In the AC vent.

**Shizuka:** \*glances up with a startled expression\*

*[Scene cuts to Nobita inside the dark and cold AC vent. He's crawling through it while singing a song and looking pretty happy and cheerful]*

**Nobita:** \*to the tune of The Farmer in The Dell\* Oh, a hunting we will go, a hunting we will go, hi-ho the derry-o, a treasure-hunting we will go...Huh?

*[Nobita sees a shadow around a corner of the AC vent, and a flash of something yellow. He broadly grins to himself and crawls forward toward the corner. Nobita starts humming again while doing so.
He turns the corner grinning like anything, only to come face-to-face with a fuzzy yellow wolf cub, who resembles him quite a lot.]*

**Nobita:** \*brief pause\*

**Laughterblast:** \*brief pause\*

*[\*silence for a while\*]*

**Nobita:** AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

**Laughterblast:** AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

*[Meanwhile outside...]*

**Doraemon:** \*hears screaming\* \*confused\* Uhh...do you hear that...?

*[Screaming gets louder. They all look up.

Nobita comes flying through the AC vent while still screaming and lands on top of Suneo. Laughterblast comes flying out and hits Shizuka, knocking her down.]*

**Doraemon:** AGH!

**Suneo:** \*pushes Nobita off himself\* *WHAT* are you doing, you crazy psychotic psycho!!??

**Nobita:** Hey, it wasn't me! It was...\*stares at Laughterblast\*

*[Laughterblast stares back still sitting on top of Shizuka, who has gotten up by now and is also staring at the wolf and noting the resemblance to Nobita]*

**Nobita:** This...wolf cub...

**Laughterblast:** \*suddenly grins\*

**Nobita:** \*suddenly grins too\*

**Nobita:** \*gasps\* Hi! I'm Nobita! So what were you doing in the AC vent? Were you looking for some piratic treasure? 'Cause that's what I was doing.

**Laughterblast:** Nope. I was looking for the actual pirates! Thought they might be hiding there.

**Nobita:** \*grins even wider\* \*squee\*

**Shizuka:** \*facepalms\*

**Doraemon:** \*rolls eyes\*

**Suneo:** Great. Now there's two of 'em.
Spots, Inc.

#1 club franchise in the galaxy. The Spots are all trendy nightclubs, scattered in every major city of the galaxy. Each is unique, built around a unique theme. To each one, local club culture goers bring the new, the fresh, the hip, the coolest trends in music, food, drink, and fashion.

Originally founded by Ceres Tauri and his business and then romantic partner, Tamia Jones, the company was split off after they broke off their engagement. Club attendance and profitability has plummeted since the intangible asset of Ceres’ frequent presence in the clubs was withdrawn.
Ka'ra

Poor pitiful abused waif, or strong woman conning everyone she meets including you?

An albino assassin who preys on men's strong attractions to her enhanced pheromones, who is abused by her master into seeming multiple personally disorders, who put the idea of kingship and Imperial dreams in his head, in the grand style of Shahrazad. She may find redemption when a female hero tries to convince her to turn on her abuser- king. Though she's broken at first due to incessant abuse she will become a strong enemy when she chooses her own path.

Ka’ra Kriess is a Valkyrie. She describes herself as a recruiter, bringing worthy warriors up to the pirate base known as Valhalla. She is also an assassin for the Periphery pirate band, the Void Vikings, killing off those who see too much of the pirates base and then decline membership.

Whether Ka'ra is still a slave to Tyrian Tauri, or has earned her tenuous autonomy is unknown. Her overt job is contact for the Tauri family, keeping tabs on the whereabouts of Ceres’ father.
Author's Note

“Risk something or forever sit with your dreams.” —Coach Herb Brooks.

After 40+ years of passive Sci-Fi fandom, I finally decided I did not want to sit forever with my greatest dream. I have been blessed of late, to receive positive support, encouragement, and assistance to fulfill my lifetime dream of writing my book.

It is now known: CERES 2525 is my novel. Mine. Now yours, too! The dream too. I pass it on to you: make your dreams come true, whatever they are. Write your book. Think BIG, you have to think anyway.

What happened to me is, these “what if” questions about the past and future of mankind have percolated in the back of my head for a long time, questions inspired by the genre, my contrarian nature, and my observations as I simmered through life. I needed to catch fire!

Then along the journey, I conceived of my own kind of heroic character. He is like my imaginary friend, and he tells me these crazy stories! I got excited thinking of him and how he would live in this speculated future of Earth I have imagined! I wrote it down. I told others, showed more still. They caught my enthusiasm for my character, my story. They encouraged me to share it with you, the reader, the sci-fi fan, the world! They got me fired up to write more!

So, my hero is a bit of a daredevil. He lives a fast-paced life of excitement. You should just hear all the things he gets himself into and out of in ways that I can’t even imagine… well, until I am in the middle of a sentence and he tells me how the sentence ends and how the story goes on. I feel like his biographer.

That is the most fun thing about writing, the discovery of fresh new things, unimagined a moment ago, that seem to come out of nowhere.

Like, the time I wrote my imaginary friend here into a duel to save a redhead woman, from a space pirate who was much faster than him. He attacked that problem by… well, I’d better not spoil the surprise for you, but Act 1 is gonna blow you away too!

I bet you catch the fire and have to see how it all ends! …or is that, begins? Yes!

X.D.

TCON's Exploration Division. These are among the hardiest beings in the galaxy. XD typically lands a party of one or two scouts on a new planet. They are responsible to survive unknown dangers while sampling and surveying the local fauna, flora, and mineral resources, and map the terrain. They compile a planetary survey, and possibly a systems navigation report, finding direct wormhole shipping routes, if any.

XD teams are so independant and competitive, they often complete the entire system survey and turn it in to the Galactic Survey Office for the full bounty plus bonuses. Some targets have proven so valuable, XD turned the information over to a TCON mining and crafting group which colonized the planet, laying claim of ownership with the GSO.

The highly skilled field work of XD is rumored to be the secret weapon behind TCON's success.
Nabigante'

Nabigante’ is Haitian for “navigator.” From the west indies arcology planet of West Archipelago, Nabigante’ as the family name sent. This young man was determined to achieve the highest fulfilment of his family name. Excelling in the Academy, he landed a prestigious post as the flagship navigator of Admiral Tarsis. This equated to responsibilities of ship’s captain and assistant fleet commander, while learning tactics from one of the best in the fleet. Nabigante’s future as an Admiral is assured.
The Empress

## III: The Empress

The Empress is an odd god. She is the god of fire and light, but these are not weapons of good, but for all. She believes in liberation and will to fight against the dark at all costs, even life. Archaeologists have found evidence that she may have her origins as a Succubus; this discovery has split the red religion in half (Succubites and the Red Ministry).

**Succubites:** Believers that the red god is that of Lust, Passion, and Infidelity. The Succubites embrace her infernal heritage and shows that we should show love to all that live.

**Red Ministry (The Red):** Believers of the Light in the darkness, one who shall destroy the oppressors and break the slave’s chains. They do not always believe that their god could have hellish traits, but if they do they tend to overlook that aspect.
Drekkin

Drekkin Hart is a Tenublian, the alien Jelly-squid race from gas-giant planet Tenube. While most Tenublians are gifted in the careers surrounding genetics and cloning, Drekkin has dedicated four of his 6 brain lobes to mastery of robotics. Given the nickname "DH" by his Galactic Navy friend Ceres, Drekkin's motto is to "make new friends every day."

His other nickname being "Old Squid," DH has extended his time adventuring in the galaxy past when most mature Tenublians would have returned to their home planet for mating. An accident cut away his sixth and seventh tentacles and brain lobes, setting the old squid back a decade. He says he feels young again, but Ceres worries about getting his friend over his fear of risky adventures.

Ceres feels responsible for DH's setback since Ceres was the chief engineer aboard their starship where DH was his chief roboticist. DH blames himself, but Ceres too blames *him*self, for the shipboard accident.
The Emperor

## IV: The Emperor

Once king of the ancient city of the ancient city of Winterfall, he left his throne to travel the planes and search for adventure, and through this he rose to divinity. He is the god of most paladins on Terra and is seen as a figure of hope and an aspect of needed war and peace. He hates trickery, but is kind and jolly to those who deserve who give it to him. Stories say that he was possessed at one point and destroyed those who were closest to him, but this is almost certainly a myth.
Arcology

A hyper-building,12 kilometers tall with a 1.5 km wide base and housing 1 million Solmen in
steerage class quarters. Entire decks devoted to container farming provided
sustainable food for the colony. Decks full of entertainment, shopping, parks,
and recreation helped ease the boredom during the voyage.

Arc is the short
form. These are often built in space enabling an entire colony to move from
source to settler world. Upon landing on a planet or asteroid, the arc’s filial
struts widen to stabilize the tower. Arc’s are tall enough that upper floors
usually remain sealed so Solman occupants can breathe adequately.

Once landed, the
Xardyon foremen quickly directed their nanites and robots to dismantle popular
common areas and many berthing levels, building domes on the farmsteads
selected by the first settlers to make choices. By breaking down entire floors,
the aliens forced the colony out of the city tower lifestyle and onto their
chosen planet’s surface to commence their new lifestyle.

2nd Generation Arcs were built by humans, largely to the Xardyon design. They set out from the most successful colony worlds, to resource or nature rich planets. Sponsor worlds often used the colonial method to claim planets with critical trade positions or resources. After the original contract terms were satisfied, the colony could claim independence under a Galactic charter. The home planets ceased calling themselves colonies once they themselves spawned a colony expedition which successfully landed.

3rd Gen Arcs are being built more freeform, often sporting decks which lever out like petals to create a massive terraced structure of outdoor garden spaces. Many such Arcs on the Rim are not abandoned for farmsteads, but become centers of luxurious urban living, supported by hordes of robots toiling the fields, factories, and mines across the countryside.

Moon Cheese and Stuff

Moon Cheese and Stuff is a business started by one of the many entrepreneurs of the Tarsis bloodline.

Capitalizing on the modern interest in things of Old Earth, young Nic Tarsis provides authentic cheese from Luna, "the moon" of ancient legend, orbiting planet Earth 1.0. Under domes on the back side, away from Earth, Nic raises a herd of dairy cows of various varieties. From their milk he makes cheese in his facility, alos located upon the moon itself.

Thus, the young entrepreneur can honestly claim to sell legit Moon Cheese. And stuff.

The "Stuff" in question being logo items such as cheese cutters, photos of historical legacy sites, small vials of lunar regolith, etc.

The company advertises a "drop-ship" delivery method for those willing to pay a premium for a more exciting experience. Standard popper rates are also offered.

Hay, oats, clover, grasses and other foods are popped over from grow-domes on nearby planet Ceres. Waste products are returned providing fertilizer for the closed loop cycle.

Nirvana

A "Super-Earth" planet in the Shambhala system, Nirvana hosts the capital of the Periphery Sector worlds, Shangri-La.

Planetary Administrator, the Gendün Lama, resides in Shangri-La. This religious leader dispenses proclamations based on a hierarchy of underlings who work out the details and monitor results of their decrees. The planet is a Theocracy, therefore.

The last ten years have been difficult for the citizenry of Nirvana. The pirate gang called the Void Vikings raids each Periphery colony twice a year. They kidnap new victims for ransom or slavery, take whatever loot the raiders can carry, and collect tribute in the forms of food, supplies, and liquid assets. To prove their intent to do holocaust to get their way, the raiders have downed entire arcologies full of people in the past.

The Periphery Sector includes over 20 worlds at the far end of the Outer Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Planet Vättern

Vättern is the name the Swedes chose for their first colony planet. Many of the members of the Arcology crew were from this region of Sweden. The beaches of their colony planet reminded the colonists of their homeland's famous beaches.

The iconic photograph, titled "Varamon Beach, Pearl of planet Vättern" was taken by scout Scorpion Aloft, hailing from Sweden. The 2D photo inspired the colonists to choose this planet, and later, to name the adopted beach once landed. The Colonists named their Arcology Ostergotland after the home region from Sweden which the Xardyon's lifted them off from. Upon landing on site near this location, Vattern's colonists dubbed the region of lands around their Arc city spire to be "Ostergotland" as well.

Scorpion Aloft was named the first planetary hero. The people of Earth's Ostergotland region decided to emigrate and thus survived the loss of Earth 1.0, due to their countryman's inspiration in naming the beach and planet he scouted after his homelands on Earth. Thus, Aloft saved his home town people. That's quite a hero!

This planet has four major landmasses scattered apart over the globe. Ostergotland is the northernmost of them. The planet has an average surface temperature of about 16.5 degrees Celsius.  Evidence suggests the average temperature has been falling over the last few hundred years. Moderate levels of geological activity erupts in several hotspots. Two of the continents are pushing together, building mountain chains and coastal seastacks.

Mineral resources are found in moderate quantities over most of the land, with some areas being especially rich and easy to mine. Most of the landmass of Ostergotland is covered in large tall conifers. The Colonists used these resources to build lodge homes to survive the harsh winter, designs familiar from their homelands on Earth.
Bloodlines

Familial Bloodlines are what long-term thinkers build for their posterity, in the Galactic setting.

This might include a series of clones, each mind uploaded with the memory engrams from the last.

A digitized mind could be uploaded into the lastest upgraded robo-host.

Or, upload Grandma's mem's into a natural new bio-gen.

Each new generation can determine their own way to pass on their genetic and intellectual heritage to the next generation.

In this way, building up your Bloodline is a sort of personal endgame.
Admiral Tarsis

Uncle Manuel Tarsis, once an Admiral in the Galactic, retired to a life of trading and salvaging across the galaxy.  He took in his sister and her newborn son when they needed to escape from her abusive husband.  Now he helps fellow Captains and corporations recover their stolen starships.  Uncle Manny is a member of the Tarsis family, the galaxy's first Trillionaire family thanks to their Mega-conglomerate company StarSys.
The Haunted Station Experience

A thrilling experience, the Haunted Station floats above Brama Prime.

This was once a bustling space station, filled with all the usual activity. Falling out of favor thanks to new development more conveniently located, the station fell into disuse and was eventually abandoned.

Young entrepreneurs bought the facility and refurbished it. Ensuring a sound, safe hull, they renovated to provide an exciting experience to Solmen seeking an unusual outing: a similated shipwreck and survival scenario, or a disaster site of your own making.

From our excursion launch ship, you will be shuttled over to a point near the station. We will vent the airlock and send you on your way, drifting towards your only hope- a clearly abandoned space station, drifting, dark and slient therough the endless night.

Your group will be responsible for getting through open space to land upon the station. From there, you will need to find entry. Is there an open hatch, or at least one your group is able to wrestle open? Please ensure no more than two of your party drift away, lost into open space. We may not be able to rescue more than that. Eventually.

Finding entry, please enjoy exploring the dark interior of the station. If you can find illumination sources, please use the batteries you have brought along to power them. Oops.

Your lunch will be served in the mess hall at the far end of the station from your entry portal. Please make haste to find it or your food will be cold to the point of frozen solid. Clock's ticking. Of course you can't hear it, as most of the station is exposed to hard vacuum.

Please take care: if you find a sealed portion of the station, opening it my blow you out into space. Again, we can only assure rescue of up to two of your party.

Be advised: the last party was unable to recover the bodies of two of their party guests. If you see them, please bring them along or pop them out the nearest open arilock. Thanks.

If you can manage to find power sources, atmospheric canisters, and seal an airlock, please enjoy your meal. We assure you we will return to pick you up... within the week.

Oh, about those random noises. We think there is some kind of rodent family loose in the sealed parts of the station. We havent been able to catch or exterminate them, yet. If you do manage to catch one or more rodent, feel free to add them to your food supply, alive or dead.

See you next week. We hope you will enjoy your stay... forever.

TCON

The CONSORTIUM. *"Where Knowledge and Profit are Shared"*

Pronounced “Tee-con,” this is a group of specialty independent explorers, miners, traders, and crafters, reputed to produce some of the finest goods in the galaxy. TCON has successfully gathered some of the most skilled beings in their various fields, who thrive on their independence from giant corporate or governmental oversight. Essentially, a thriving small business incubator co-op.

Formed by Spiglord to be a community of like minded crafters--including all the vertically integrated trades to support that high-end crafting. Notable members include Bhin'der, Kilgore, Shariela, Harper, Jaden, Arsenic, Drekkin, Nibroc, Tymme, Lexi, Carynne, Bodrake, Proxus, Ki'lum, Acho, Leonagustus, Rahad, Ringo, Debrick, Sacha, Jack Quensis, and many more fine friends. No matter where you may find them, TCON members are surely helping each other succeed while enjoying themselves in exploring, hunting, gladiating, and crafting the best goods to be found. Look for the [TCON] logo.

TCON took defacto ownership of the nebula/starcluster known as "The Pocket." TCON makes their Headquarters and home there.

Navigation

Galactic Navigation is an entire discipline in the Merchant Marine Academy, the Naval Academy, their local counterparts across the galaxy, and the high learning institutions of every star system.

The basic hazards:

1) Wormholes open in real time.

2) They must be line of sight. ie; they cannot curve.

3) therefore they must avoid gravity wells.

4) the speed of light is infinitely sluggish vs instant wormhole transit time.

5) Every object in the galaxy is moving at high speed, relative to a point fixed in space.

6) therefore, where your sensors perceive a mass object is, is actually \*where it WAS\* when it's light began its journey.

A given star 10 ly away, has drifted an extreme distance in the 10 years the light has travelled from it's prior location to your current location. Every navigation hazard between and near here and there could have drifted into dangerous proximity to your wormhole's course.

Navigation computers are large and the databases within them are premium valuable information. Plotting the drift of every object, every asteroid and larger in the galaxy, is critical to avoiding catastrophic wrecks throughout the galaxy.

The Galactic Stellar Navigation Corps collects fresh data from every navigation computer in the galaxy after every jump. It updates its records, feeds free updates to every starship in system, and ensures that information passes downstream through every wormhole station and starship in the galaxy.

Hence, a significant amount of data feed is passed from starships to stations at all times, updating ship's navigation charts and holos to the most current and accurate information available when the navigator enters any given jump coordinates. Due to this, the accident rate has steadily declined in the decades since StarSys took over the network from the Xardian hosts.

Tenublians have a knack for filtering all the relavent data from the navigation computer faster and more accurately than other species, thanks to their naturally networked mind of multiple brain lobes.

It is a high crime under penalty of immediate execution for intentionally causing a navigation hazard which causes a wormhole transit accident.
Starship: Pegasus

*Pegasus* is the name Ceres Tauri gave his new starship before attempting to leave the pirate asteroid base Valhalla. The starship's prior name was *Wanderlust*. Serenity O'Share said the owners and crew were all spaced by the pirate henchman Trok. Will Ceres and Serenity check for next of kin if they manage to escape the pirates and return to the Periphery Sector?

*Pegasus* is a Halberd Class 2500 F/L, for Freighter/Liner. Such a craft is often used as the personal luxury transport for a wealthy businessman or family as they travel their sector. Compared to the Liner version, the F/L is wider and includes fewer cabins, making cargo space for storing the businessman's trade goods or the family's clothing, etc.

*Pegasus* is undergoing a repaint. Impressionist artist Kangee redid the underside before the crew attempted to leave A-Valhalla. The ship's belly now features a giant mural of her namesake mythical beast.
