This is set in the same universe as GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND. I don’t know if I’m going to develop it right now, though. I put this down to keep myself writing, frankly. I never want to, the first day of the month.
Don’t come to get me. That’s an order. Unless you outrank me. In that case: don’t come to get me, you damned fool. Yeah, that’s right. Leave the insubordinate officer to die. Whatever works, right?
I won’t bother repeating what you already saw in the footage — and if you’re just reading the transcript, don’t look at the footage. You don’t need that in your head. God knows I don’t want any of this in my head, either, except nobody asked me what I wanted…
Right. I need to concentrate. Give you things that you can use. Okay, first off, the only good news: we got inside. Those key fobs the AI fabbed out for us? They really do work. Nothing tried to shut down the cutter when we matched orbits with the alien ship. I’m feeling pretty mixed emotions about that right now, if you can’t tell.
