2/28/11 Octation, the most ambidextrous villian

Omega Lobster and the other superheroes of Metroscape need villians. Here is one.

His brain was larger than most evil villains and he had more arms that most villains possessed also. His brain weighed 15 pounds and made up most of his weight seeing as how the rest of him weighed less than 20 pounds. His arms, actually his appendages, were interchangeable so he could have anywhere between 1 to 6 arms or legs at one time.

Of all the evil villains in Metroscape, Octation was the most ambidextrous.

He was the result of a similar experiment that changed Omega Lobster into the super hero he became. But the experiment that changed Octation into a villain was meant to make them more flavorful.

Octation main goal was to destroy all of Metroscape’s shipping and fishing fleets and also steal the Heaven’s Emerald in the Metroscape museum of gaudy jewelry. He really likes shiny things.

2/27/11 Enter the Bandit 2

A continuation of the Omega Lobster story.

Enter the Bandit.

Millions of dollars.

Actual cash.

Stolen from a series of banks across Metroscape. No one knew who or what committed the crimes but the heroes and heroines of the city were being tasked to find out. Unfortunately, not all of them were particularly focused on the case.

“Oh, God, is that butter?” Omega Lobster stared at the small dish with the many pats of yellow, melting butter.

“Shit. Sorry, Omega. Forgot.” Kay Nine waved the waitress back over to the table.

“Can you take this away, please? He isn’t very fond of butter.” Kay said as the waitress came to the table.

The young girl gave Omega Lobster a puzzled look.

“My kind were eaten with butter,” Omega said.

The waitress smacks her gum.

“I wouldn’t know. Your kind went extinct before I had a chance to try ‘em.” The waitress removed the dish of butter and walked away.

“Jeez, what a bitch.” Omega Lobster’s antennae and antennules quivered in anger.

“Easy, Omega.” Kay said. “I am a bitch and I don’t act that way.”

“Right, sorry.”

Omega takes a bite of his steak.

“Hmmm. I don’t get it. Why is it that cows have not gone extinct yet? They taste so good.”

“Because we raise them specifically for eating. Lobsters were wild, living unchecked in the oceans.” Kay scratches behind her ear. Beneath the table her leg twitches slightly.

“I know, but someone could have started raising lobsters like they do cattle.” Omega said.

Kay thought about it and saw in her head large cattle sized lobsters grazing in a field.

“There were a few lobster farms. But what wiped your kind out weren’t the fat Asses at the local surf and turf buffets. It was a disease. And you were the result of the smart Asses attempts to cure the disease.” Kay smells the food in front of her.

“Yea. Well, they should have tried harder.”

2/26/11 The Black Shalu Warrior and Negotiators

I totally wrote this at the very last minute on the 26th. I was working on revising a short story for class when I realized that it was almost midnight. But I got it out and I think I turned out okay.

The Black Shalu had been used in many conflicts that suppressed the inhabitants of resource planets (planets used for nothing but their resources). At no time though had it ever been seen as wrong. At no time did the Black Shalu consider what they did as unjust. The natives of a planet were many times just a fierce as any advanced race. And many times the native inhabitants were more than willing to surrender and negotiate. The Black Shalu were some of the most elite warriors in the galaxy but they were also skilled negotiators. Many a times they would bring factions to the tables and negotiate a peaceful outcome before the first shots were even fired.

2/25/11 To slumber

This came from a dream I had last night. In the dream I was marrying somebody besides my fiance. I told the girl she wasn't my fiance and the dream fell apart from there. But the rest of the dream is where this came from.

I was awoken too early.

I was incomplete.

I was not ready.

I remembered little from waking up.

I felt the rain.

Rain. It was cold.

I heard the wind.

It was loud.

The wind bombarded my ears.

It scared me.

I felt my wrapping being torn from my atrophied body.

Those who woke me from my slumber tried to be gentle.

Three hundred years was a long time to be resting. Learning. Preparing for this.

What was this?

I found out.

Three hundred years ago I was wrapped in gauze and buried eight feet under gravel and dirt and flowers and strange herbs. The smells of the flowers and herbs permeated my wrappings but were no longer present in the soil from which I was resurrected.

“Wake up.” The voice said.

My eyes failed to open.

“Is he blind?” A second voice said. The sound of the second voice was much younger than the first voice.

“No. Wipe his eyes clean.”

Cold water splashed on my eyes. I felt the gunk and grime of three hundred years of sleep wash off.

“Wake up, the demons are coming, we need your help.”

2/24/11 China Limit: Food Riots

I found a random date generator that will choose a date for me. I use it to continue posts. This one is a continuation of the China Limit.

The food riots shocked everyone.

People were used to seeing them on the news. There were stories being reported about Africans, Europeans, Asians, and others foreign people rioting because there was not enough food to feed the citizens in cities. But no one believed they would ever see it happen in the United States.

And it wasn’t the poor that were rioting.

The Tulsa food riots occurred in affluent neighborhoods and spread into the suburbs.

The Chicago riots were not even in Chicago. They were in the suburbs that surrounded the city.

Food manufacturers were not able to keep prices down and supply up. Major food companies went out of business because supplies were spread so thin they could not meet demand.

2/23/11 The Secret Holders

A lot of my stories for human space dominance revolved around the idea that mankind will be ruled by an Emperor.

Seek the truth and you will find it. But I warn you, you must not go looking if you do not want your feelings to get hurt.
We are in the business of protecting the Empire of Man, not protecting the fragile feelings of those who seek answers.

Fifteen years ago the Emperor appointed us, the last members of the Secret Holders. We had all the secrets of mankind with us in some form or another. We were given the task of seeking out the truth and using it to sway votes for his projects.

When I say projects I don’t mean bridges and road paving or pet projects that was a waste of resources.

No, the Emperor’s projects change worlds and shape lives.

2/22/11 The Keri Wolves

The tundra was a rough environment but the Keri Wolves were rougher than anything that could be thrown at them. They were trained to defend the most precious of all resources: Drian Crystals. A single crystal the size of a coin was able to power a starship or space station.

Years of plundering by pirates led to the Drians to create the Keri wolves. Each weighed over 370 kilograms. They could sprint up to 56 kilometers per hour for long distances. Their red fur clashed against the snow of the tundra but that didn’t matter. If you saw the Keri Wolves you were dead.

2/21/11 The Residuals

They don't call them aliens. They don't call them survivors. They are called residuals and they are humans or other aliens corrupted by Chaos that bleeds in from the Edge.

When the ship came out of the system’s warp gate window the alarms blared.

The nuero receptors of the helmsman compensated for the loud warnings that caused others to flinch.

“Do we approach, Captain?” the Helmsman asked.

“1/2 impulse,” the Captain said. “And can somebody shut off that damn alarm.”

The alarm silenced.

“Any sign of survivors?”

“Negative, sir.” A crewman scanned the display showing the 11 planets.

“My God, 45 million people lost.” The Captain watched the main display before him.

In the distance the light from the sun of the system fluctuated and ebbed.

“Where is the nearest settlement?”

“Antiaon 4. A mining facility.”

“Scan that facility. Make sure there are no residuals.” The Captain watched the crewman follow his command.

“Sir, scan shows there are approximately 293 thousand residuals in the facility.” The crewman brought up a map of the facility. “All levels are compromised.”

The facility image changed red and warnings glowed across the screen.

“Tactical, prepare the weapons to blow that facility to hell.”

“Aye, sir.”

2/20/11 Imminent Degradation

So there is a random word generator online that I use sometimes to come up with topic for the daily writing. This is one of those times I used it.

Imminent degradation.

It was the warning that caused Captain VonAlt to wake early from cryo-sleep. And it was the warning that nobody wanted to hear when awoken from Cryo-sleep. It took approximately fifteen minutes for the affects of cryo to wear off. First you are unable to stand or move due to sever atrophy of the muscles. Then your vision returns so you’re technically blind for about the first 5 minutes. It is a very disorienting experience.

VonAlt heard the klaxon of the imminent degradation warning and began to drag himself toward it. The cold metal of the ship floor was a shock to his system. Everything he touched caused a sensation of pain.

2/19/11 The Rapture

When I was in high school, I went through Confirmation and was told I would be a soldier of god. This is my interpretation of that.

The Rapture has occurred and as a soldier of God I was given the option of being taken back to the almighty kingdom of heaven along with all others who were Raptured or remain on Earth to bring others to the light of God.

I am a soldier of God and I chose to return to Earth and this is my story.

I believed my return would be grand spectacle of lights and angels and pyrotechnics that ushered my arrival as a soldier of God.

But there was nothing like that.

Instead I awoke on the floor of an apartment. It was actually a really dirty floor that smelled of cat urine and stale cigarettes.

2/18/11 Sofea of the Wyrm

I try not to write about family but sometimes there is something that is worth writing.

Sofea of the Wrym.

Sofea the Dragon Rider.

The barbarians from the north had ravaged the countryside of Hiun for so long no one remembered a time when there were no barbarians.

Thousands lost their lives to the barbarians and millions fear what will happen if the barbarians are not stopped.

From the Eastern deserts came Sofea and her companions, The Wryms.

Born from fire, stone, water and wind came the ancient dragons that tormented the citizens so long ago.

The Wyrms of Old were dominated by a child. Legend told of a child that would save the citizens. By controlling the powers of the Wyrms, the child would come and save mankind from the savages of the north.

2/17/11 William is back in town

I spent last night writing a short story for a class. Outlining turned out to help a lot. I really had no idea it was so effective in helping to put the story together.

William was back in town.

When my friend Liz told me, not even the best doctor could get my heart going again.

“He came by the diner last night,” Liz said nonchalantly. I couldn’t tell if she was trying to get a reaction from me or not.

“That’s good,” I struggled to remain calm.

I heard her stop filling ketchup bottles. I felt her eyes on my back.

“Stop it, Mary Beth Holland! How are you not jumping up and down right now?” She rushed over and sat across the diner counter from me.

“Did he ask about me?” I asked excitedly. Trying not to sound too desperate.

“Of course.” Liz excitedly twirled a ketchup-stained dishtowel around her fingers.

“What should I do?” I asked her, knowing full well what she would say.

“Go with him! Get out of this crap town and finally be with him,” she said it so quickly.

2/16/11 The Darkness of the Edge

Alrighty, well it is 11:40pm and I had yet to write anything. I really couldn't come up with anything so I just asked questions and before I knew it the world was being consumed by the Darkness that had seeped from the Edge. Have I mentioned a pizza commercial was the inspiration for this?

Who knew?

Who knew what would happen when the stars went black and the darkness engulfed us all?

The darkness had crept from the Edge and swallowed millions upon millions of systems.

Billions upon billions of lives were lost.

Entire civilizations blinked out of existence.

Suns were consumed in the darkness and we ran.

We tried to escape it.

But you cannot escape the darkness of the Edge.

Mankind watched from its last refuge as the stars blinked out and the night sky was blank.

Darkness consumed all and the cries of trillion stars went silent.

I have been to the Edge and we cannot escape our fate.

2/15/11 Ugh, busy day of writing

Today was one of those days. I spent all day preparing an outline for a script writing class only to get to class and totally have it fall apart in the second act. Not literally fall apart and scatter everywhere but just have no action in the second act. Ugh, it was horrible. I wasn't feeling it at all and I would totally scrap the whole thing if we weren't so far into the process. The suggestions the professor gave though were really good dsand I think if I can add them into the screenplay in the second act it will really liven it up.

I knew this was going to happen this semester. I have a ton of writing and editing I have to do and so little time. I need to start focusing and working throughout the week but it always seems like there isn't enough week to do anything.

I started to read Path to Fury by David Weber for a class and I like the first chapter. It has a deeper setting and more description than Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. I like a book that that when you put it down you think: "I will never live in a world like this" and you have to decompress from it for a second. I didn't get that with Ender's, perhaps later in the series you do. Won't find out until later though cause right now all I'm reading are books for class. But I guess I'm lucky though cause those books for class are not really all that bad.

Next semester though will be dedicated to one class so this semester is preparing me for Novel writing.

But I did write some creative stuff today so don't worry, I didn't waste the day. I just felt this type of entry was needed. Here is a snippet of what I wrote today.

Jack then sees Pascal and Jean. They don’t see him and he follows them. They have found a docking bay where small ships sit unguarded. Jean, the smarter of the two, goes into one of the ships and comes back out. Jack overhears him say they can take it and leave. They see Jack and he runs from them. They pursue him and the three run through the corridors. Jack comes to a door that has a keypad next to it and he begins punching in a bunch of different number sequences. The French twins come around the corner and see they have him trapped. A light above the door turns green and the door opens. A bright shimmering force field is on the other side and when Jack runs into to it without looking he disappears and the door closes before the twins can get to it.

2/14/11 Deanionionasad

Earth has been destroyed and Jack and Huan watch as it is being sucked up into a giant hand vacuum to make fuel for the IDIOTS fleet.

The alien leads Jack and Huan through corridors. They see other humans being met by various aliens. Some of the humans are reacting less than civil. The alien introduces himself as DEANIONIONASAD but they can him Dean. He tells them they are on a ship orbiting what is left of Earth. Jack and Huan stop walking. Jack asks if he heard him right. Dean sighs and tells them to follow him. Dean takes the two to a large window overlooking a fleet of ships surrounding a debris field that is being sucked into another ship that looks like a hand vacuum. Ships pull are pulling up to the ‘handle’ of the hand vacuum ship and refueling.

2/13/11 The Hat Salesman

I didn't forget about last night. I wrote but just didn't post it. Here it is. My fiance said I should write about a hat salesman.

The hat-boxes were all stacked in haphazard columns along the walls and throughout the display floor.

As Creston walked among them he was careful not to bump the towers of boxes.

“You looking for anything in particular?” The voice emanated from the back of the store.

Creston searched for the person to whom the voice belonged.

“Um, yes. I need a top hat for a costume. I am going as a magician.” Creston made his way to the back of the store.

“Well, a top hat will be fairly expensive. You might want to rent one from the shop down the street.” The voice was now coming from the other side of the store.

2/12/11 The Black Shalu

For years I have had this idea of a military force that is hired by others to fight wars and provide security, much like a modern security force in Iraq or elsewhere. But this military force works contracts across the galaxy and along with money they are paid in solar systems and battle fleets. And leading this galactic military force would be a single man. This is the story of one of those men and how he caused problems for the Black Shalu and the future leader of the mightiest military force in the universe.

The contract was to suppress the rebel forces on the desert moon orbiting Odiu. When the Black Shalu negotiated the contract there was an antiquities clause that was created to compensate for any additional costs if the hiring party could not pay for extensions. The desert moon tested that clause.

Fleet Admiral and Supreme General of the Black Shalu, Gulion Strax IV, led the Black Shalu forces in the suppression operations. This was a very rare occurrence and when the mission was successful the native inhabitants of the desert moon despised the Black Shalu for reasons other than fighting a war against them.

The inhabitants of the desert moon used a form of energy manipulation that many superstitious individuals would consider magic. After action reports and intelligence summaries referred to this as Manipulation of Physics and Energy. But in the field, soldiers referred to is sorcery and witchcraft. Commanders warned troops not to discuss it in such ways but court martial and demotion takes valuable troops away from the fight.

Gulion Strax IV sought an item that the inhabitants used long ago to protect the moon from outside interlopers. He was not a superstitious man and sought the item to use it militarily. Unfortunately, it would change him and the Black Shalu forever.

2/11/11 Kay Nein

Every good superhero needs a side kick or ally. Omega Lobster has one that helps him deal with the inner and outer conflicts.

Kay Nein is Omega Lobster’s best friend and ally. She has the ability to change into any type of dog. She was born with this ability and has used it to do both good and bad. When she was a teen she used it to sneak out at night. When she was in her twenties she used it to sneak in to places and steal stuff. Most of the time she was sent scurrying away by the shop or storeowner. Other times the local dog pound would catch her and she would change back when she was locked up and the pound would be very confused about how she got into the cage. She changed though when she met Omega Lobster.

2/10/11 Enter the Bandit

Omega Lobster, a two word prompt that created a super hero story. Thanks, Dylan E.

Enter the Bandit.

Millions of dollars.

Actual cash.

Stolen from a series of banks across Metroscape. No one knew who or what committed the crimes but the heroes and heroines of the city were being tasked to find out. Unfortunately, not all of them were particularly focused on the case.

“Oh, God, is that butter?” Omega Lobster stared at the small dish with the many pats of yellow, melting butter.

“Shit. Sorry, Omega. Forgot.” Kay Nein waved the waitress back over to the table.

“Can you take this away, please? He isn’t very fond of butter.” Kay said as the waitress came to the table.

The young girl gave Omega Lobster a puzzled look.

“My kind were eaten with butter,” Omega said.

The waitress smacks her gum.

“I wouldn’t know. Your kind went extinct before I had a chance to try ‘em.” The waitress removed the dish of butter and walked away.

“Jeez, what a bitch.” Omega Lobster’s antennae and antennules quivered in anger.

“Easy, Omega.” Kay said. “I am a bitch and I don’t act that way.”

“Right, sorry.”

2/9/11 The Anuras

Hmmm, I studied biology at Southeastern Oklahoma State for two semesters and in one of the classes I took I learned Anura is the Order name for frogs. So when you read this imagine large, bipedal frogs telling us what to do in space.

The Anuras gave up hunting the prey races a very long time ago. They had become the most efficient hunters in the galaxy and gave up hunting to become Ambassadors. The Ambassador races took it upon themselves to ensure the balance of the universe. Created in a time when the Predator races were wiping out entire systems to kill of their targets, The Ambassador races have the technology and resources to prevent such actions from every happening again. They have eyes and ears everywhere. One mission of the Ambassador races is to prevent research into forbidden technologies. One technology that is forbidden is the use of Zero Matter Energy. It is absolutely forbidden because Zero Matter Energy is able to destroy entire systems in a flash. The uses for it though are limitless and the appeal of it is sometimes too hard to resist for many. When we learn about it we set up a dark star system to begin studying it. The Elance warned the researchers about the Anuras and told the humans if we did the research the Anuras would come and stop them with any means available.

2/8/11 Then Planet Earth Exploded

This is the first part of the earth being destroyed story.

Planet Earth explodes. A narrator tells us not to worry though 87 people survived. As well as one of each animal and this is the story of one of those people and his journey to find a new home. The earth exploding rewinds and we zoom into a suburb of Chicago.

Jack Fargone is buying a small engagement ring. The salesman asks how long Jack has been with his girlfriend and Jack tells him they are broken up right now but she will have to take him back. The clerk tells him that never works and Jack tells him he didn’t ask.

Jack leaves the store. Goes to work and tells his friends at work what he’s planning on doing. They all look at him like he is crazy.

Jack leaves work that night and stops by his parents to tell them. They don’t think it is a good idea.

Jack leaves his parents still thinking he will be successful in getting his girlfriend back.

He is on his way to his ex’s apartment when he sees her with another guy. He acts as if he didn’t see it and goes back to his apartment.

He lies down on his bed and falls asleep.

2/7/11 Otto and Zorro

Wrote 1200 words tonight, it was for an assignment for class but it got me writing. It is the premise and characters, as well as story summary for a television series. Very Hitchhikers guide but darker.

OTTO the WHALE (???)

Swimming the oceans of Earth was a great gig until the planet was destroyed.

Otto spent all of his life on Earth as any normal Humpback Whale would: swimming, eating, and swimming some more.

When the IDIOTS destroyed Earth though they put him and a few other marine mammals into a giant ship that was converted into an aquarium. When Jack accidently puts the wrong coordinates into a transport door, he is sent to the aquarium ship and the porthole that is equipped with the translator. Otto just happen to be at the porthole wondering what it was when Jack approached it and voila, instant friendship.

For a whale, Otto is very insightful. He claims to have learned a lot swimming through the oceans. He had a lot of time to think and ponder and when this young human comes along he provides some sage advice.

Otto is a great mentor and guide to Jack.

Zorro the Dog (?)

Zorro hates to travel so being in space is a nightmare. But fortunately he happens upon a guy who is all about taking care of others and a friendship develops with Jack.

Zorro was the lap dog for an elderly woman who died shortly before the world was destroyed. When her family refused to take him, he was given to a friend of the woman. That woman was not very nice and she made Zorro stay outside in the Mexico heat.

Zorro was picked up by the IDIOTS fleet and was wondering around the ships when he met Jack.

Given a translator by Jack, they now communicate but Zorro is a dog of few words. He mainly communicates in single words at the start of the series but will expand later.

2/6/11: Prosythe 5 saved the world

We will eventually run out of food and resources on the planet. What if something we created to help feed the worlds poor and starving turned these individuals into people of power, or people with powers?

Prosynthe 5 saved the world. The Pro 5 compound was an artificial protein that was produced cheap and quickly and could be shelved for years without any type of degradation or spoilage. The company that produced it did so at the behest of the European Union when massive food shortages and riot spread across the continent. Millions had starved to death and the majority of those were children and elderly. The Pro 5 compound had one terrible side effect: 1 in 100 people who consumed it developed mutations in their genetics that either killed them or changed them into what many could call a comic book type mutant. The most common type of mutation dealt with an increase in endurance and/or strength. More drastic mutations manifested as telepathy and other comic book type powers.

Update 2/21/11: An article from yahoo about world being unable to feed us.

2/5/11: The Mont Suval 2

How did the human race react to the Mont Suval?

The Arrival of the Human race back into space gave all the Scattered races hope. We had been lost for thousands of years. Some had assumed we were lost forever. When the Mont Suval came across our first colonies they were on the verge of going extinct. They watched us from a distance for a long time and when they finally made contact with us they were weary. They had seen how we treated each other and feared we would harm them. But a government agency known as the Collective, intercepted the original transmission from the colony concerning the Mont Suval. The Collective met with the Mont Suval and learned about our past.

2/4/11: The Mont Suval

When the human race entered space we were not alone.

The Mont Suval provided us with the information we needed to spread our civilization across the galaxy. When we left earth we were wandering aimlessly. We settled 2 systems and our resources were being squandered looking for other resources. The Mont Suval showed us how to create a renewable energy source that would fuel our ships, our colonies and our expansion.

The Mont Suval were the first race we encountered after entering space. They detected our colonies and came to see who we were. When they encountered us they were so grateful. Not because we provided them with anything tangible. We gave them hope.

2/3/11: Nothing to write about

I had nothing to write about this evening so I wrote a conversation I made up.

"You know what is so annoying? You were supposed to fix it. I can’t scratch my butt if it’s in the way."

"Really, is that what you want me to write about."

"Yea, because it’s really annoying and you should write about it so the world will know my problem."

"Wait, how was I supposed to fix it?"

"I don’t know. That’s not part of this conversation."

"Yea, I hope not because that area is not any where I want to be around."

"Funny stuff."

"Yea, funny stuff."

"So, how did it turn out?"
"I have ninety-five words now, oh, wait. One hundred and one words. Whew, didn’t think I would have anything to write about but I did. Thanks."

"You’re welcome. But my butt still itches."

"You’re gross."

2/2/11: Death of the Generationals

This is another story where Earth is destroyed but this story is more serious than the Eating Leftovers story.

The Scattering was the defining moment when the Human race realized what needed to be done. Scholar planet destroyers laid waste to the system. Slowly pushing their way into the system, destroying every planet they came across. On arriving to Earth they did not communicate with us or provide us warning. They opened fire and within an hour Earth was reduced to rubble. The casualties numbered in the hundreds of thousands. The only humans living on the planet were the Generationals. They were bound to the planet and unable to live anywhere else. Many were over a thousand years old. They knew what was going to happen and accepted their fates.

2/1/11: Eating Leftovers 2

When Outsourced jobs are sent to another part of the galaxy they are taken there by the IDIOTS fleet. If there are more employees than jobs then those remaining employees are called Leftovers.

The IDIOT Fleet left the solar system with full tanks of gas and 87 new members of the fleet as well as a wide array of animals that had no place to call home. Three ships had been emptied out to accommodate them all. The J’RIN was assigned to the animals. Leftovers from the last outsourcing exchange had been assigned to work on the J’RIN feeding and caring for the animals. So far only three of the leftovers had been eaten. A lion, the other by a tiger and the other by a bear ate one of the leftovers. But that’s not really a problem; the families of those leftovers will be compensated greatly. They will be given the insurance money from the IDIOT fleet corporation which takes out a very large policy on all members of the fleets. Also the families will be given lifetime passes to fly with any IDIOT Fleet that passes near their system.

Which is a great benefit to Leioo of the N system. The bear ate her husband. She warned him not to go but she could not stop him. She had always wanted to see the galaxy though and now this will allow her to do that. When she learned of her husbands demise she mourned for him briefly then contacted the local IDIOT travel agency. They assigned her first class accommodations on a Xeo Class vessel which will have the best spas and entertainment the IDIOT fleet can put hire. Leioo will then jump onto another fleet headed in the opposite direction and from there continue to travel for free until she evaporates into nothing.

The second vessel was given to some of the displaced IDIOT employees from the J’RIN and the 87 Earthlings. The vessel is called the PR’SON. It is a nice ship but no Xeo Class vessel. It has all the amenities the humans will need which includes 25 different dining facilities, 502 living quarters with varying gravity, 3234 waste rooms (otherwise called restrooms or bathrooms by the humans), and an array of entertainment rooms that include fitness and other extracurricular activities. But the humans don’t have to stay on this ship.

In fact, the Commander of the IDIOT fleet has given all the humans free-debarkation passes. Meaning they are more than welcome to leave at the next port of call. The Commander had planned to give each human a transport of their own but the conservationist suggested against that seeing as how none of them know how to fly and would probably crash into an IDIOT fleet vessel.
