The collapse of stellar systems will occur -- like creation -- in grandiose splendor.

Ah...this is SO amusing! Chuckling audibly.

Umphfff...well, I’m finally back and allowed to be up long enough to use the electronic communicator to post an update to my journal. I had a slight relapse and have spent the past two weeks back in my own bed being cared for by Kitty (captainamelia). She made quite a fuss over me (which was rather nice, the parts that I can remember) and repeatedly ( Read more... )

So...about two weeks ago, B.E.N. and I (in my carriage pulled by Delilah) went in to Benbow town and I decided to go by the shipyards to check out the progress of the Legacy's repairs. I recognized Kitty from a distance standing on the dock and shouting at the foreman...I couldn’t make out what was being said but judging by her body language, the ( Read more... )

As I mentioned previously I’ve been rather under the weather for the past week or two and I’ve been too ill to post any logs to this journal until today. I had made B.E.N. SWEAR to NEVER again mention "the incident" which led to my illness, but I’m jotting this down here because I’m still confused about the chain of events and trying to piece ( Read more... )

I slipped upstairs (all was quiet, I suppose Kitty (captainamelia) is down at those shipyards again) and took a quick shower and shaved and now I’m tidying up the lab a bit (also looking for my missing cello recordings). I was tempted to find Sarah (sarahhawkins) and show her my beard but I didn’t wish to frighten her (plus I’m still not feeling well and didn’t want to ( Read more... )

I’ve had a little soup now. Feeling a little better...still rather dizzy, but bits and pieces are floating back to me now. Globes...the Legacy’s FLAG...Delilah...in jail? Micro chips and cookies...memory buffers and jealousy...Jimmy? Cello music...oil toffee...B.E.N. losing his buffer and his eyes...Benbow and the shipyards. And then something ( Read more... )

Just checked the digital calendar and realized that I’ve been fitfully dozing, off and on, for the PAST TEN DAYS?!?!?!?! Well, it’s not really dozing...more like horrible nightmares running over and over like a moebius strip. I’m exhausted, my throat is hoarse, and I’m still feeling very feverish. I only remember bits and pieces of the past few ( Read more... )

Just had a look around the basement lab (a bit hard to do while doubled-over and things going in and out of focus). Things are more in disarray than ever before and I seem to have misplaced my other cello recordings. All of the other cello holochips have disappeared and B.E.N. just claimed to have no knowledge of their whereabouts. I’ll need to ( Read more... )

I awoke early this morning to an irritating electronic screeching of a cello recording as the holochip made its last gasp and then fried itself. I’m not sure...but I have an odd feeling that the same recording may have been playing continually the past week. Everything is still a blur. Pardon me while I have some strong tea and attempt to wake
