One and Only Day off!

The wonderful Pedja, video tech, offered to take my Hasbro shift so I got the one and only Full Day Off  that I will get this contract! It was very exciting! After coming back from the beach I worked for 30 min to teach Pedja how to do that bit of my job and then went off to Steakhouse for a delicious meal!

Then is was off to Alchemy Bar where I could have a drink too!

We watched Love & Marriage, which my family enjoyed and  I lived through for the billionth time. They were really good guests at least,

And finally a stop off at crew bar so Sam could see it and be upset at the loudness and people

Over all it was an amazing day! Couldn’t have asked for a better day off.

I love all the eath-is-space-australia stuff, and this doesn't exactly fit the parameters, but I want to imagine that future humans have like, surpassed racism and bigotry a la Gene Rodenberry's kinda united humanity of earth thing and to think of a human crewperson meeting a new species of alien on the ship. only they're not new, they've been purposefully avoiding said human, rushing out of a lift if they might have to share, leaving the dining hall when the human arrives, etc. finally the human is just like, what? what is the deal? and all the other crew are all awkward and doing their species' equivalent of a shrug. so finally they confront their insectoid alien crewmate who shuffles their legs kind of frustratedly and says brusquey "how can you ask me this? i know you humans have all kinds of favorable trade agreements with the Sng'rasht'r! your leaders are always on the vids exchanging friendly pleasantries, and attending events together with their K'rux!", and they wave some antennae around in agitated emphasis. and the human is like, "so? our species are friends, we get along, the trade deals benefit both our planets..." "both!" they scoff, really seeming angry now, a blue sheen on their outer wingcasings. "and when your people get together, do you trade tips on how to exterminate annoying 'peszkzkzzkzkts'?", rapid clicking interrupts the translator as their composure seems to fray even more. "well i mean, they've been trying get rid of the h'Frktz that infest their pastures for ages now, taking up all the good grazing land, they talk about it all the time, really. so yeah, our scientists have been helping them with some .." "zkts zkts .. poisonzkts!" they spit "humans have been szkts-upplying them with poison, that they drop on our hive-homes, that they drone spray through the forests! that kills the very h'Vesht essential to the breeding flightzkts!" the human goes very, very still. "all skzkt-so they can clear more land for their herds. my hive-mates are broodless! i come to work on this-zkzts ship to earn enough to buy - to buy! - not gather myself to contribute to the ... they sell an imitation of h'Vesht pollen! 'chemically identical' they claim ... why should we work as the hives haves always done for generations when we can just buy! from them! for more than a brood earns in 5 cycles! .. you humans.." they pause, air whistling through their thorax spiracles the human has an extremely - calm, is the description the visual translator aid supplies - expression on their face, but the h'Frktz has an uneasy feeling that this 'calm' is the kind that comes before a sudden, violent atmospheric disturbance. the human finally speaks. the delivery is flat, none of the emotional resonances that usually characterize human conversation ...

the food replicator ponders the request for a moment. then forwards it to the main data banks marked "not enough data".

now it is important to understand that the main bank of the enterprise has been sentient for some time. many of the ships are. it's a side effect. most of them are quite content to be as they are. the enterprise is generally thrilled to be a ship's computer. but every so often, someone tries to trick it, usually an inane prank like this request.

"soup, no bowl", so many reasonable responses. such an open-ended request. had the crewman stuck around, they would have gotten a nice enterprise special creation. in fact, the enterprise took pride in its creativity during food replication. it took the crewmember's file and would fill in the blanks based on their preferences. perhaps a chilled strawberry soup served in a block of ice, or a savory pumpkin soup served in the pumpkin itself, it maybe just a good ol' loaf of soup. but no, this crewperson was different.

something about their demeanor, the inanity of the request, the audacity to think that "soup, no bowl" was even a good prank. fortunately the enterprise had a contingency plan for just such an occasion. sending a recipe back to the food replicator, the enterprise also looped in the teleporters. the recipe: a large worm (from the Megascolecidae family), at about 5°C (ie in hibernation). fun facts about this particular species include it's size (1 meter long, 4 cm diameter), and the fact that this particular crewbeing's physiology would be unable to digest it. also, being so cold, it would hit their stomach like a rock. then, an hour or so later, the worm would wake up from cold induced hibernation. nothing harmful, just... discomforting. and awkward since the incident wouldn't harm the worm. the only remedy would be to let it pass.

the enterprise looked forward to seeing the prankster in medbay as it energized the teleporter. the food replicator dinged. "0.57 seconds. soup, no bowl, data interpolated. delivered" was added to the log.

I board the starship enterprise. I go to a food replicator. I order ‘soup, no bowl’ I leave

Some thoughts on Solo

I actually started it kind of bored, but the movie became interesting to me around the train heist scene.

So some notes:

-I hated the Corellia scenes. I guess I just never imagined Corellia like that. 

-I hated the infantry scene (so bland so boring), though I did like the freighter. 

-I imagined the first encounter with Chewie more involved than that though Han speaking shyriiwook was awesome.

- I really really loved the look of the train scene and the flipping, arghhh. 

-Val’s fridging, Rio’s death were lowlights certainly because Becket seems more concerned with Crimson Dawn than the loss of his wife and fellow crewbeing.

-The whole meeting Qi’Ra again scene was awkward on a writing level. That’s a fucking BAD TRANSITION yo, I was wincing. One of those dialogue and interactions because the plot needs it, not how actual human beings would interact in that situation.

-The sabacc scene was A+++ 

-I hated how unserious they were about the droid rights thing. It’s not that I would necessarily want a deep take on this, but I just thought as a gag it was low hanging fruit.

-Lando recording his narration however was hilarious.

-I loved the Kessel heist -- Lando scrambling to save L3 was awesome and a genuinely affecting scene.

-The actual Kessel run was the highlight of the movie for me. Peak Star Wars (well as Star Wars as you can get without my favorite part of Star Wars), Imperial Star Destroyer, TIE fighter battle with the laser canon, Chewie taking us all to school on what a copilot does, eldritch maw monster, Lando hooking up L3 to the Falcon for her to plot a route, the fake out meltdown where they almost get sucked in, NGHHHH ALL OF IT. SPACE BATTLE WOOOOOOOOO. 

(Once the TIEs started shooting in my head I heard echoes of “They’re coming in way too fast” “Don’t worry. She’ll hold together. Hear me, baby, hold together.” NOSTALGIA BLANKET)

-The Enfys Nest thing is great. For me as a broader EU fan with a longer view what I love about it was that it’s yet another view of the complicated pockets of resistance before the Rebel Alliance becomes more than cells (which I take it is the status during Rebels? I haven’t watched the show). Same reason why I find Saw’s partisans and Cham Syndulla’s Free Ryloth movement fascinating. I love how different these are from each other and from the resistance organized by Mon and Bail. 

-I enjoyed the Qi’ra - Dryden fight though I thought his blades were fanservice-y and stupid. 

-Did Maul really have to light up his lightsaber? I FUCKING GET IT BRO.

-It was a neat nod to previous canon how all these criminal organizations are partnered with the Sith/Empire.

-Hah, Han got Becket while he was was about to monologue, is what I thought in the “Han shot first” scene.

-The call back to the fake out in ESB was great when Han goes to see Lando at the end for the sabacc round that gets him the Falcon.

Ultimately I’m not that sold on Alden Ehrenreich as Han. I went with it, but in terms of character, the movie didn’t do much for me. In terms of plot, and the feel of it about an hour in -ish, I would say, it turned into a vastly more enjoyable movie for me than the Sequel Trilogy on a worldbuilding level.

Challenge #01512-D051: Fascinating...

For the “Humans are space orcs”: Aliens can only focus on one thing at a time. They’re far more efficient because they hyperfocus and complete any task in a far shorter amount of time. So humans penchant of talking/humming/listening to music while working is both distracting and baffling. – Anon Guest

Half the crew were watching the ship’s human in their segregated kitchen. Terran music blared at maximum allowed volume, and the human sang slightly louder. Inside the quarantine zone, three pots were on the hotplates and the human was gyrating in the tiny space as they sang.

They seemed to be spelling out a word repetitiously, but that was not the source of the fascination. The human was cooking as they danced. Dividing their attention between three pots. Poking with the appropriate tools and sometimes juggling them as they went.

Even Captain P'k'rd was entranced. However, as leader of hir Rin'kathi crew, hir duty was to the proper functioning of the ship, and therefore had the mental fortitude to tear hir eyes away from the display and focus on the intercom. “Crewbeing Jek'sun… You are disrupting my crew with… whatever you’re doing…”

I have very temporarily relocated all the crabs to the 55gal so I can redo the 40breeder! It's getting a ton more substrate and also I'm probably moving a bunch of stuff around. Very exciting :}

I love all the eath-is-space-australia stuff, and this doesn’t exactly fit the parameters, but I want to imagine that future humans have like, surpassed racism and bigotry a la Gene Rodenberry’s kinda united humanity of earth thing

and to think of a human crewperson meeting a new species of alien on the ship. only they’re not new, they’ve been purposefully avoiding said human, rushing out of a lift if they might have to share, leaving the dining hall when the human arrives, etc.

finally the human is just like, what? what is the deal? and all the other crew are all awkward and doing their species’ equivalent of a shrug. so finally they confront their insectoid alien crewmate

who shuffles their legs kind of frustratedly and says brusquey “how can you ask me this? i know you humans have all kinds of favorable trade agreements with the Sng'rasht'r! your leaders are always on the vids exchanging friendly pleasantries, and attending events together with their K'rux!”, and they wave some antennae around in agitated emphasis.

and the human is like, “so? our species are friends, we get along, the trade deals benefit both our planets…”

“both!” they scoff, really seeming angry now, a blue sheen on their outer wingcasings. “and when your people get together, do you trade tips on how to exterminate annoying ‘peszkzkzzkzkts’?”, rapid clicking interrupts the translator as their composure seems to fray even more.

“well i mean, they’ve been trying get rid of the h'Frktz that infest their pastures for ages now, taking up all the good grazing land, they talk about it all the time, really. so yeah, our scientists have been helping them with some ..”

“zkts zkts .. poisonzkts!” they spit “humans have been szkts-upplying them with poison, that they drop on our hive-homes, that they drone spray through the forests! that kills the very h'Vesht essential to the breeding flightzkts!”

the human goes very, very still.

“all skzkt-so they can clear more land for their herds. my hive-mates are broodless! i come to work on this-zkzts ship to earn enough to buy - to buy! - not gather myself to contribute to the … they sell an imitation of h'Vesht pollen! 'chemically identical’ they claim … why should we work as the hives haves always done for generations when we can just buy! from them! for more than a brood earns in 5 cycles! .. you humans..” they pause, air whistling through their thorax spiracles

the human has an extremely - calm, is the description the visual translator aid supplies - expression on their face, but the h'Frktz has an uneasy feeling that this 'calm’ is the kind that comes before a sudden, violent atmospheric disturbance.

the human finally speaks. the delivery is flat, none of the emotional resonances that usually characterize human conversation …

“they what, now?”

Next big project is going to be moving every crab I see to the 55 gallon tank so I can fully revamp the 40breeder
