"Night call, collect" – Ray Bradbury
https://gwern.net/doc/fiction/science-fiction/1969-bradbury-nightcallcollect.pdf

- Что мне с тобой делать, Петров? - учитель, вздохнув, посмотрел на стоящего перед столом притихшего подростка. Мужчина взял в руки листок и пробежал его глазами.
- На прошлой неделе ты засунул кошку в телепорт. Зачем?
Мальчишка пробурчал:
- Хотел отправить на Луну...
- Но там же нет воздуха, понимаешь?
- Понимаю...
- Что ты понимаешь?
- Нужен скафандр, - пробормотал мальчик.
- Нет, Петров, ей не нужен скафандр, - устало произнёс учитель. - Ей вообще на Луне делать нечего. Там мышей нет.
Мальчик вздохнул. Учитель продолжил.
- А сегодня ты притащил банку с мухами. Тоже на Луну? - поинтересовался учитель.
- Это не мухи... - пробормотал Петров, - это наноботы...
- Нано, Петров, это значит почти невидимые, - с укором произнёс директор. Мальчик снова вздохнул.
- В общем, Петров, тебе нужно задуматься о своём поведении, - завершил беседу учитель. - Понятно?
Мальчик молча кивнул и вышел из кабинета.

В коридоре к нему подскочил лучший друг Колька:
- Что, сильно влетело?
- Ну, так, - задумчиво ответил Петров.
- А что он сказал? - не отставал Колька.
- Сказал, что кошку на Луну надо с мышами отправлять, - в глазах паренька уже зажглись искорки идей, - и ещё нам нужны маленькие скафандры...
Через пару минут мальчишки уже шли по коридору, увлечённо обсуждая детали нового проекта...

My old pal, Roger Ruggenberger, invited me to see his new invention, a multiversal transitionator-dingsbums (I forgot the right expression, sorry).
- It’s for visiting parallel dimensions, alternative realities or whatever you call it.
- Then I want to visit a world where I’m married to Uma Thurman, I said.
- Sorry, that won’t be possible.
- Scarlett J then?
- Nope.
- But why?
- You are you and you aren’t married to anybody. We can look for a reality where Uma is married to an equally big-nosed overweight smartass wearing the same…
- I don’t think I like your invention.
- But there’s a lot of other funny places. Think of Avalon, the land of beer lakes, or a TRON sequel. You can meet Wes Crusher, if you like.
- Let’s go! I want to know what he meant with “distracted quantum eraser“ in episode 12.
- But we’ll have to roam around a bit, it’s for calibrating the destination-murksifier.
- Fine by me, but I gotta be back for the next home match.

So we climbed into the vehicle, a very stylish machine. I had to promise not to touch any control unit except for the radio button. Roger took the wheel, of course, and off we went!

It was amazing! I instantly forgot Scarlett and Wesley when we flew through an ocean of colours and patterns and mandelbrot things, until we landed inside what looked like a medieval town.
- Hey, this must be Nuremberg, Roger said. I know that castle from the insurance ad.
- You’re sure?
- Well, mostly.
- But why is the radio news in… Is that Latin? Or Middle High German?
- Can’t say, but it sounds like they’re drafting for the Crusade...
Someone was knocking on our windscreen. A guard.
- Good morning, strangers. May I inform you that your vehicle is positioned within a no-parking area as it is interfering with the market customers.
- Oh, excuse us. We will move right away.
- Thank you, sir, but first you’ll have to pay a fine of 24 silver pennies.
Roger and I exchanged glances.
- Let’s find a place where the Storchs win the finals, okay?
- Good idea!

I’ve (already) lost track of the number of times I’ve faced off against #Watchtower and I have exactly two observations worth noting:

1. The ideal strategy for dealing with them is to simply allow them to be a persistent threat, much like Ecliptic, the Spacers, Crimson Fleet, and Va’ruun Zealots, stretching out the growth of your fleet as long as possible, to allow them enough time to become dangerous enough to be worth fighting in a direct conflict
2. It’s so disturbing to be called an “S-Category Deviant” that I feel compelled to exterminate them as fast as possible regardless of knowing the ideal strategy

Well played, Kinggath, well played

Family legend said that any vows spoken under the ancient, twisting boughs, were binding, unbreakable and inescapable.

Enjoy.

Tomorrow I'll be watching Atragon / 海底軍艦 (1963). This one apparently combines #scifi elements with kaiju, like The Mysterians (1957). I'm just guessing here, since I go into these movies blindly. Whatever the case, I'm excited!

Here's the schedule for the rest of the week:

This is pretty amazing. The Millennium Falcon realized in the new No Man's Sky Voyagers update.

I've seen a number of attempts, but this is the best, hands down.

Star Wars Millennium Falcon built as a corvette in No Man's Sky

Just wanted to give an infamous broadcast some well-deserved appreciation!

Lasers in space

Three dimensional scene for today based on space. And fantastic movies. With lasers and sci fi. Theme of computer games. And lasers highlights. So this is my own design for space ships, I made it by myself. This is such a long thing. As strange fantasy like MDK. But here it is about space.
