Miskatonic University Galactic Expedition 3303 - Day 4
23 Aug 2017LCU No Fool Like One
I dreamt such dark dreams last night of a dead city and nameless horrors. I found myself running, searching for a way out of the dread kingdom, shying away from the dark doorways whose geometry seems to shiver and writhe even as I looked upon them. I ran into a dead end and stopped. The hairs rising on the back of my neck and a cold sweat flooding my skin. I felt a presence behind me radiating evil, a malevolent intent and a bowel churning carrion stench like hot chinatown trash . Against my every instinct I turned and recoiled in horror at the sight of the spawn of Cthulhu, its face a mass or writhing tentacles which began to part revealing a grotesque circular maw full of razor sharp teeth. The monster spoke. "beep beep beep" I regarded it with confusion. "beep beep beep" its said, its dark eyes with the depth of galaxies some how conveying embarassment. "beep beep beep" the loathsome spawn repeated, shrugging its monstrous wings.
Suddenly I was dragged back into my world. I was lying in pool of inky black vomit on my filthy sweat soaked bed. An empty bottle of Mega Centauri Gin next to me, my terminal inbox beeped at me insistently. Bleary eyed I punched the terminal to read my messages.
Despite my rude awakening and the depredations of the night before my spirits lifted, I read with joy the message informing me that our new Python, all 88 gold plated meters of it, had arrived at the station. I quickly scanned through the inventory skipping past such base considerations as shields, armour and power to find what I had been waiting for, Luxury passenger's quarters and a well stocked cellar filled with rare spirits from across the galaxy.
I wasted no time and ran to the berth stopping only to use the head on the way. From now on I would stay on ship and only leave if absolutely nescessary and finally I would be able to start my exploration in earnest.
