Turning up the heat

Posted on February 15, 2014February 15, 2014 By Brody No Comments on Turning up the heat

This column appeared in The Herald-Sun in February 2014: Jousting a boulder, it turns out, isn’t such a great idea. The boulder in question was a hard-packed orb of snow left behind during a pass by the city’s plow truck as it rolled past our house in Watts-Hillandale on Thursday, shortly before the second wave…

Cerulean Twilight arc in forums

Posted on February 11, 2014 By Brody 5 Comments on Cerulean Twilight arc in forums

It’s time to get another story arc thread going on the forums. This time, I’ll experiment with a broader format – participants in the thread can generally determine where they’re at (aboard a ship, on their favorite world, etc.) and we’ll see how the story evolves. The arc will involve the Cerulean Twilight hacker group,…

So long, Comorro

Posted on February 9, 2014 By Brody No Comments on So long, Comorro

Comorro Station – a sentient starship in the Ancient Expanse known as a Yaralu – made her first appearance on OtherSpace back in 1999. That’s when Sanctuary carried refugees from the Kretonian Invasion in the Orion Arm and, through an OtherSpace Drive mishap in Sol System, wound up slipping into the alien universe. She didn’t…

Life Goes On

This roleplaying event took place in-game on OtherSpace on Feb.8 , 2014. Support the MUSH during our 2014 Olympic Fundraiser using the PayPal button on the right side of this page:

As repair work continues on the Galaxy Galleria, Comorro remains adrift not far away. She has remained largely silent in the days since she announced that she was dying and that she would give birth to an infant Yaralu.

Tharsis is presently sitting in a folding chair beside, well, himself, staring out through the landing bay’s opening to Comorro floating beyond, his expression not wavering as he contemplates. The expression could be said to be one of shock, but a fair amount of sadness.

Kethren hops off the shuttle with a sad expression, and a sad looking calico ser on his shoulder. Coming up behind him is the perpetually cranky guard, Butch. Butch’s macrame is improving. It definitely looks more like an owl than an amorphous blob this time.

Jocaira, having stopped at REM’s temporary home on the Baile to suit up, exits a shuttle looking prepared for the best, the worst, and damn near everything in between. She is laden with medkits and an assortment of armaments intended on discouraging shenanigans and/or ‘salvage’ efforts. Her expression is not shocked and fairly grim.

Alastair Hall is seated at the edge of the landing bay, as close to Comorro as he can physically get. He’s clearly the worse for wear – his red coat smeared in various ichors, dark circles under his eyes from constant chemically-aided wakefulness, and his cybernetic leg is wrenched at an odd angle. The doctor is surrounded by various medical equipment, with tubes snaking across the distance to feed Comorro a steady drip of fluid. A hairless cat sleeps atop one of the warm machines, clearly unbothered by all of it.

James Sterling follows along behind Jocaira, similarly outfitted, though his gear is more toward the armament side than the medical side. He takes in the assemblage of people and whale with a neutral expression.

The voice of Comorro transmits over the general frequency: “The time…has come. I must make the final jump…to oblivion. But first, my thanks…to those who helped…bring us home. And Dr. Hall…for the comfort of these final days…”
