Challenge #00597 - A232: Detective Work
“We have advanced to new and surprising levels of bafflement.”
The body in the vents was hundreds of years old. Dating back to some of the last territorial wars that occurred in or near Cuidgari space. Tracking down the insignia remaining on the body required nosing around in the Archivaas networks.
Something which Lyr had drafted Rael for on Hours Plus. In this case, Hours, plus food and lodging. The food part was going to set her back a great

An attempt at discussing the weather:
“My, the vacuum is hard out today…”
There is something about human nature that compels them to look up at the stars. And, once in space, staring out a window at them will suffice. Shayde had managed to perform both, thanks to a pillow pit in this particular lounge.
The faintly luminous cushions gave enough light to find her by. Lounges like this were deliberately dim so that observers could see the stars as

A Mother's Curse, used elsewhere
Someday, [name], I hope you live to have a dozen subordinates just like you.
(#00595 - A230)
T'reka didn’t understand the curse. Not in her youth, when she’d innocently said, “Oh that would be delightful.” And not now, when she had achieved half a dozen subordinates, one of them human.
Her five Numidid scientists, including one student-underling - Tyrtyr, sought only to perform their tasks as carefully and precisely as possible. Even the human, Wila, endeavoured

Challenge #00594 - A229: Peggy deCulco
“The [name] family motto might as well be, Anything worth achieving is worth overachieving”.
She could see the immigration clerk’s eyes widen at the name on the galactic passport.
“You’re a deCulco?”
“I’ve spent my life being the black sheep of the family,” she smiled. “You can relax.”
Not that there was much trouble to be expected at a station called Podunk. She wanted to disappear. Become someone else. Be anything

Challenge #00593 - A228: History Lesson
Read more »For decades Earth’s biosphere, at least insofar as supporting human civilisation, basically rested on everyone being very rational and _not_ pushing the shiny, candy-like button and firing _all the nukes_. How we got in that situation is textbook humanity, but being in that situation, pushing ourselves as far and as hard as we did, with all the diplomatic and military provocations - but _not_ managing to go that step too far? That’s not how humanity behaves… It was basically two

Challenge #00592 - A227: Bad Advice
When an evil god laughs. run.
When a good god laughs run quickly.
Once again, Shayde had stopped at a registered Graffito Intersection to read the collected wit and wisdom from the kinds of people who wrote on walls.
“Na that’s just bad advice.”
Rael sighed and played straight man. “What would that be?”
“When an evil god laughs, run. When a good god laughs, run quickly.”
“Oh… kay…?”

Challenge #00591 - A226: Unreliable Witness
“The reactor explodes from something the monkey does.”
Lyr surveyed the damage. “Sir, this is not the fall-out from a reactor.” Indeed, if a reactor had gone off, they would be mopping up the damage and the dead in hazmat suits. But there were no dead. And minimal damage.
The smaller saurian nodded as if in understanding and repeated hir statement. “The reactor explodes from something the monkey does.”
“Fer the fifth time, I only flipped the fookain switch,
