Return to the FATE GEAR

Chapter 11: It’s life, Jim—but not as we know it

#FanFiction #OthersidePicnic #FateGear #StarTrek

Things grew quieter after Beni announced what was for dinner. There were a few grumbles in the mess about the half-ration of grog, but the stew was warm and filling. It was much better than the maggoty biscuits, #spoiled potatoes, or the greasy #quagmire of pea soup they were used to. All-in-all the FATE GEAR’s crew was content.

In unison, the crew let their cutlery fall and sighed in pure pleasure. Benimori had become a favorite—(not as a dish, but as a cook).

Toriko had earned their respect by decking the purser for pinching her butt. (The purser may have mistaken her for a dish—the succulent kind, not the radish; perhaps a peach, a port belle, or a topgallant lass.)

Sorawo, on the other hand, was close to being keelhauled for the number of times she spilled stew on someone.

It wasn’t her fault; the FATE GEAR rolled suddenly every time her ladle was in midair.

(“That be fer yer cracks about me last time ye were here,”) the ship muttered. (“Think ye be a pirate? Ye’re nothing but a mess hall horny toad.”)

No one dared correct the ship, reminding it that this was a steampunk vessel, not a B-Western prairie schooner. Any of the crew who crossed the FATE GEAR were spoiling for trouble.

Meal done, the crew filed out onto the deck as a carousel whistle piped, “All hands on deck.”

Above them glowered a planet smoking in the sun’s heat. And beyond that was a black-hole, its amoebic edges undulating, as though lifted from a steerage-quality scifi film.

(“It’s life, Jim—but not as we know it,”) the FATE GEAR announced in a thick Glaswegian burr.

“That’s enough out of you, Scotty,” Yuri typed. “This be pulp steampunk, not Star Trek. Now hoist the gens—we’re gonna need a hunnert knots an’ more to clear Mercury’s stern, or she’ll drag us into her maw!”

(“I’m givin’ her all she’s got, Cap’n!” the ship retorted. “But the etheric coils are about ready to burst their corsets!”)

Sorawo overheard Nana grumble, “We don’t have etheric coils, and the corsets are just for show.”

She sympathized until Nana turned her evil eye on the Otherside duo and vented her ire on them. “Get to yer positions, you scurvy bilge-rats,” pointing to the rigging high above.

“Aye, Aye, Ma’ma. Beam us up, Scotty,” Toriko quipped.

Sorawo kicked her in the shins. “Pirates is bad enough; don’t go mixing in Trek-ese.”

Be advised that #Quagmire construction has begun in various locations. Owners are responsible for their quags when using the quagmires, once they are fully operational.

So it seems that #Netanyahu's formerly unsuccessful 30+ year long effort to manipulate the #USA's president into attacking #Iran on his behalf has at last borne fruit... in the rotted brain-matter of Donald #Trump! We congratulate all #GOP voters (and Never-Kamalists) on the birth of their new #quagmire!

Why War With Iran Is Just....A Horrendous Idea --- AlternateHistoryHub
> Will there be war with Iran? Probably not. But here is a last minute school survival guide to let you know what to expect if next time if tensions escalate into another unsolvable conflict.

Gregg Carlstrom: "Israel doesn't have an exit strategy in Iran, or rather, it's counting on America to supply one. If it can't draw America into the war, and if it can't destabilize the regime to the point of collapse, it finds itself without a clear path forward."

"Canadians haven’t been forced to see #America as an enemy for nearly 200 years. Many won’t want to consider it now.
But we’re learning to take #Trump at his own words. Now he wants to tear up the 1908 treaty that fixed our border. ...
This is the #Putin playbook. Claim that you own territory, then take it. ...
The Americans were run out of Vietnam and Afghanistan. The heroes’ welcome they expected in Iraq turned into an eight-year military #quagmire."

@QueenRamonda
There is such a thing. You're welcome to ignore it.

Just don't swear and accuse us of "war love" when its ignorant people sacrificing #Ukraine by literally feeding them weapons everyday.

> "Weapons are arriving everyday, including today." ~ JakeSullivan, 10.4.22)

Same strategy as #Vietnam by the corporateState. Its designed to *prolong* the war.

> "…just enough #weapons so the front moves neither forward nor back. A #quagmire."
