Title of Recording: Why do I do this?

”My father once asked me the point behind creating memory logs because I never forget things. I had to think of this for a while. I guess because I’m hoping that one day these logs will be important to someone. You see, when I die the chip in my brain will no longer receive electrical energy from my body and self-destruct. My father did this so that no one could remove the chip out of my brain- it being one of a kind. But what that means is that when I die, all my knowledge will forever be lost. Just like a normal being of flesh. The memory logs ensure that some part of me goes on long after the rest of me ceases to exist. I find it comforting.”

Title of Recording: Memory Chip

”Everyone’s body uses electricity, the created current between anions and cations, more specifically the flow of electrons due to the different potentials in the cells. It tells out heart to beat, and our muscles to move. It’s this energy that powers the memory chip in my brain. Some scientist claim the reason we forget things is because our brain loses the ability to find the information. It’s like forgetting where you put a tool in a shed. The tool is still there, you just have to remember where to locate it. The chip my father installed in my brain helps it to better organize my thoughts, allowing me to easily retrieve any memory. The physical price is a slightly higher metabolism. This psychological price is… different.”

Title of Recording: Home World

”While I wasn’t born on Syrae ( or FDRY776 as it’s known to the Federation) it’s the only place I can remember living. We were six when I arrived, shortly after my memory chip was installed. It’s a cold planet, the surface being completely covered in ice all year round. There are few native species, none of them with sentient capabilities. It was first colonized by a group of scientists over 900 years ago. Others eventually came seeking freedom from the Federation’s rule or a safe haven on a planet where people don’t dig up the past. The scattered cities are built on geothermal vents and derive their power from the planet’s superhot core. It’s a hodgepodge of technology and cultures. Traders come by often, swapping out dated Federation Technology for ore and high quality gems found under Syrae’s ice-capped peaks. I miss my home.

Title of Recording: Why I left

”My father is dead. No. What I mean to say is my father was murdered. I'm not sure why... or at least if I am I'm afraid to record the reason down here. I know what those people wanted... but they'll never get it. That's why I have to leave Syrae. ”

In case you're wondering. I'm still typing. :)

Alright. To save yourself some time, you can start reading from the

It's where the new material begins.

This week has been hellacious time wise. I don't normally like leaving my partner's waiting this long. You should expect a post by this time tomorrow.

[Irell Starling]

Sorry, the post took me longer to write than I'd anticipated because... well it ended up being longer than I'd anticipated.

[Irell Starling]

I'm working on a post. Honestly, I've been working on a post off and on all week in my "spare" time. On Monday I returned to work (as an educator) and my online graduate class. Needless to say, I am so ready for a three day weekend. But rest assured, my post is in the works. :)

A language arts teacher. Lol. Not even close. I'm a high school science teacher. :)

I was thinking that's it's about time that we name our crew members.

*sighs* There were problems when I tried to submit it. Since you can't delete a post, I did what I could.

Astrology is a science, so hah! I am "even close." Also, I agree that we should name the crew members, but I suck with names. Do you have a particular name in mind for any of them or should we divide the job between us? In addition, we need to think of the next planet we're heading towards. I imagine the crew is heading towards the federation, so the planet number should probably be lower.

I use random name generator, if you give me a bit I can find some good ones.

As for the planet, I think we should go to a place where we can get supplies but not one run by the Federation. Syrae is on the outer fridges so there should be a few planets near by that are not Federation owned but still have things to purchase. (Food, clothing, weapons, ect)

I was thinking of giving the doctor a Victorian English name, something relatively high-classed to represent his incredible book smarts and skill with his trade.

Quincy? Joseph? Walter? Ernest? Lawrence?

icicle said As for the soldier, I can easily imagine him with a Germanic nickname like, "Chip," or, "Karl."

Chip Karlstock? Karl Hammerstein?

icicle said Finally, I think the CIMAM technician has to have a cutsie name, like "Ettie" or "Susie."

I like Ellie better than Ettie. Susie is fine also, if not a mite traditional.

icicle said Lastly, about the planet, Lazlo is well-versed in information brokering/comms probing, so instead of going to a planet to search for supplies, I think it'd be more in-line with his character and interests to go to a black market hidden in a "nearby" asteroid field.

I like the idea, especially if the ships gets chased by Syrae's police. A black market is a good way to lie low and it will be interesting to see how the crew members react to that backdrop.

Would Eleanor Falder know about a replicator? ...And if she did, would she confess to knowing?
