My weekend got out of control and I had less time to prep for the regular short story posting today. I thought it best if we check in with our fearless Captain and see what he’s been doing while being missing in action for so long…
Discovery
Hello from Fury Road
With the West engulfed in flames, everywhere in between a Petri dish of toxicity, our once leisurely travel across the formerly United States more resembles a sequel to Fury Road…
Lost in Translation
Universal translators are a fickle thing. Yes, they can provide a literal translation but they can’t revise and rearrange ideas. Anytime a maintenance query or systems report request begins with “Shaka, when the walls fell,” I’m out.
