Officer Kat: I will guide this ship for the next two days. It should be a matter of simply staying on course and being alert to any unexplained deviations. Apparently, not everyone wants us to get to our destination. When Wing 90210 takes over she'll explain why she needs to be obeyed. Her command of this ship is critical.  Wing 90210: Well said. Kat: You know how much I hate this. 90210: Why you. Why me. Kat: I dreamed this moment. When I saw the eyes in the sky, I knew I needed to take command. I have the focus, the authority and the ability to thread a needle. 90210: And me? Kat: You're like a sheep-dog herding sheep. We will be in great danger and the crew must totally trust you. They don't trust me. 90210: Because of the last time? Kat: No. That was a nightmare, but most of us survived. They're Human ... or close enough. I'm not. I studied Humanology. In their mythology I'm either a goddess to be feared or a pet. I'm neither. 90210: You could have been Queen. Kat: I WAS Queen! And not just any queen, but it wasn't enough. I had dreams. And those dreams meant leaving for the stars. 90210: You're different from your kind. Kat: We all are. On our various planets among our own kind we bicker, divide ourselves into groups and fight. One faction thinks its better than the other or worse, a defender of the Truth, one only they know and believe in. Not here. This ship has no factions. No fighting. Total allegiance to our mission is crucial in spite of our various understandings of it. We have individual jobs and positions but we act as a group. One group. Us. 90210: So ... I need to keep us unified. Kat: Yep. And there's no one more qualified to do that. 90210: Do you think I'll need to wake up the others? Kat: Perhaps not. That's your decision. I intend to lock myself in my chamber and go back to dreaming. I have no skills to offer for fighting the Green Star. 90210: It has a name... Kat: One that my people avoid mentioning. Our myths consider it a deadly menace. Everyone will need a clear mind, without that mythological baggage, to deal with it. In my dream we do not engage it. We just leave it behind. Prompt for
where I found a slogan that I thought might get some responses. No mudslinging please. Prompt: "No one single person is truly represented by any political party." I agree but avoided dwelling on the prompt to present a situation where there are no political parties. A starship really could not function without cohesion and partisan fighting would doom its existence. 2,587 |
