Read More 363-Valkyrie’s View: A Year Among the StarsDecember 20th, 2552 – Now you see me. Consociation Pilot Kat James Reporting Today I drew one of the less enjoyable duties: void hopping. The idea is that me, and my crew, fly through the void, taking the predefined route between normal space and the void. We’re hoping that the energy signatures might draw some […]

Duct tape may be involved. […]
Read More 232-Valkyrie’s View: A Year Among the StarsJuly 14th, 2552 – Point of origin Decoy Pilot/Pest control Specialist/sometimes suspect Kat James Reporting Today we focused on the moon, so instead of running decoy, I ended up in the Gumbo shuttling samples from probe craft to a temporary pontoon craft that was serving as a base between the moon’s surface and the rest […]

I chuckled […]
Read More 130-Valkyrie’s View: A Year Among the StarsApril 6th, 2552 Inconclusive conclusions Tow Truck Driver/Schroedinger’s Kat/ – Katherine ‘ConV’ James Reporting There are things that don’t add up.
