Due to my brother dropping out, I've now got a spare ticket to prom 70 at the Royal Albert Hall, 7pm Weds 7th Sept. Best seats I could get; the Grand Tier (you can see the sort of view here). Should be pretty good. Face value; £36. Sorry but can't accept any queerlings.

Actually 21st October was always on his predictions; 21st May was the Rapture, 21st October was the apocalypse...apparently he's not just decided to merge the two...No doubt the delaying of the rapture is because God appreciated their faith so much he decided to hold off so that they could 'save' more people The wonderful thing about faith; it can delay the apocalypse over and over again...

We also have stuff like Captain Jack in Torchwood/Dr Who who, while larger than life, is still a bisexual central character of a popular show, whose sexuality really is just something that is *there* and isn't made the centre of plots...which is pretty much as it should be.

Date: 8th November 2419 Location: MMV Noah, Unknown “How’s the uniform?” I asked Tarr’surn outside his quarters. It had been 48 hours since he had joined us, and had spent most of that time with Sii’nour, getting to know about the ship and the M Military. Now he stood in front of me wearing the Pallner version of an M uniform, identical to Sii’nour’s but with a blue bend signifying his Engineering specialisation instead of Sii’nour’s green Medical bend, awaiting the start of his first offi

Date: 7th April 2395 Location: City Subterrene, Europa Train cars sped past us as we walked along the tunnel, heading towards my old apartment building. Running from the port, this was one of the main artery lines, which ran to the heart of the City and to the central station. Every couple of hundred metres, a line would diverge from the main track and head off towards the outskirts of the city. Being just a couple of stops down the line, I had decided it would be just as easy to walk as t

Date: 7th November 2419 Location: MMV Noah, Unknown “According to Sii’nour, the Pallner society is made of two halves; the military and the civilians. The military monopolise every aspect of production and take the lions share, leaving the civilians to scavenge what is left. Understandably, the civilians harbour a lot of resentment to the military, but are unable to organise or fight back.” I informed her as we sat at the large table in her quarters. “The way I see it, if we can covertl

Date: 6th April 2395 Location: New Moscow Academy The last rays of the sun were just sinking below the trees as I sequenced myself a sandwich. I had just woken up and didn’t feel like anything too heavy; it wouldn’t be long until I took Aiden up to practice fighting, and eating anything more would likely result in time spent cleaning out the cockpit later. Propping the pillow up into the corner, I sat on my bed and pulled the sheets back over my legs. The sandwich was, as all were, than

Date: 7th November 2419 Location: MMV Noah, Unknown “Shuttles Able and New Light, you are cleared for launch,” the controller called over the radio from the main control room. “Bravo wing, you are clear for takeoff and exit via hatch 8.” Given the valuable cargo that would soon be aboard, I had decided to assign all the operational Blades we currently had to escort the two shuttles to the Lahstey. The plan hinged on getting the computer components back to Noah, and to a lesser extent, t

Date: 6th April 2395 Location: New Moscow Academy “I think I’ve shot just about enough for today,” Lark complained from behind me as I fired another round to the side of the target. “I don’t think the Corporal likes me very much.” Behind him, the Corporal was muttering about why he was always the one who ended up with the newbies who can’t shoot straight. Though I still remembered what had actually happened, I also remembered that I had shot terribly, barely being able to hit the targe

Date: 4th November 2419 Location: MMV Noah, Unknown “Most of her systems have been ripped out, probably been looted by the other pirate ships.” Bodgit briefed me as we walked through the charred corridors of our latest prize. There wasn’t an undamaged panel in sight, we could only see thanks to torches, and the foul odour present on the small pirate ship we captured before hung chokingly in the air. “Fortunately, we’ve learned a lot from the Pallner technicians over the last few months and

Date: 6th April 2395 Location: New Moscow Academy I lay on the rear of my Cutthroat, looking up at the trees above and listening to the gentle roar of the waterfall. I had been working recently on using my neural link and basic augmentations to remote control my fighter; I was now able to hold it in position with ease beneath me, maintaining its location 20 feet above the pool of water. I figured that if I did lose control, I wouldn’t have too far to fall and the water wouldn’t be too hard

Date: 3rd November 2419 Location: MMV Noah, Unknown As they had done before when Snr. Crewman Long tried inserting one of the computer modules, it glowed a pale white colour and lights began to flash all over it. After a few seconds, the lights froze and a message appeared on a nearby monitor stating the module’s serial numbers and requesting an authorisation code. Every time I had tried with my code, all three of the modules had immediately shut down, without so much as an error message.

Date: 5th April 2395 Location: New Moscow Academy “Thor, have you seen Marshall anywhere?” Griff asked with an anxious edge, as he opened the door to our room, finding only myself on my bed. “I might have,” I replied sharply. “But I’m not sure he’d like you to know where he is right now.” Frankly, I was annoyed with Griff for making me fight Aiden, especially given his obvious lack of fighting skill, and I didn’t particularly want to talk to him either. “Come on, Jones; don’t be an

Date: 3rd November 2419 Location: MMV Noah, Unknown I realised I had made a good choice of Admiral almost immediately. My suspicions were confirmed when she arranged to speak with the Pallner ambassador as soon as my debriefing was over. “Well, Commander, I have to say you have done a remarkable job under exceptional circumstances. Not only have you brought the ship through the initial accident, but you have done so with a clearly immature crew and on top of that, made contact with the

Date: 5th April 2395 Location: New Moscow Academy I was exhausted when I got back to my room. It appeared that the mysterious Aiden had been and gone; a different variety of things were now strewn over the bed and floor around it. I had been at the range for over five hours, shooting targets over and over again until the Corporal finally let me leave. I had to admit that it was much less tedious than when I did the course at school, and the Corporal definitely knew what he was talking
