Poydras felt his body shift, as he #kissed the atmosphere. He longed to be out of his suit and stretch his wings again. He had to be at least through the ionosphere for that, and every moment seemed to elongate until...
until...
There.
Free fall became flight.

I knew, when I countenanced Carroll's #Kiss, I was accepting a tradition in which the more carefully one documents the ridiculous, the more ridiculous it becomes, and the less certain one is of which side of Alice's mirror one is writing from.

–What's the reason we don't we have one of those now again?
–Have you ever heard of Charles Darwin, Mr. Cadwell?
–Who hasn't?
–Then you surely know he spoke of survival of the fittest and not survival of wilful idiots.
–Crikey, doc, now you're just hurting my feelings!

–Mr. Cadwell, what is meaning of all this? Have you not yet learned that you do not have to join in every single one of Mr. Reyes' less overthought ideas?
–Yeh, nah, they're fun!

#SciFiSat [Fedaylia High Feather sets her sights on a vulnerable Capt. Nikalishin. This volume is more literary fiction than SF, but after all the series IS a biography first and foremost. Here is the back cover of v.3 Bird of Prey.]

In his mind he was hearing the words that Kolm and Dana had spoken to each other …

#SciFiSat [2/6] Take and wear this ring as the holy symbol of our weddin’ vows … and he wanted to say that, complete with Eirish accent, but he feared Fedaylia would think that was silly, and so he held his tongue.

#SciFiSat [3/6] And as she reciprocated with his ring, she gave Robbie’s finger a painful twist. He winced a little, looking up at her. Her mischievous grin looked back at him, seeming to say, There, Capt. Nik, I’ve got you now!

#SciFiSat [4/6] And then the Registrar said, “Capt. Nicollusion, would you like to kiss the bride?”
Before Robbie could respond, Fedaylia said, “I don’t know what the Captain would like to do, but Ens. High Feather would very much like to kiss the groom!”

#SciFiSat [6/6] And the doubts that the sight of his bride had smothered only moments before came back to life in Robbie’s conscious mind: The tweak of a finger and the sting of Fedaylia’s hard kiss upon his lip became those doubts’ first post-nuptial pricks.

–Beats me but last time I checked that type of craft isn't made for landing.
–Maybe they're drop ships?
–Screw that, we were here first!
–Yes, and we don't want any human company!

#SciFiSat [1/4] By 2753 Robbie had made Senior Lieutenant and First Pilot. No longer relegated to the night watch, he was part of the Captain’s shift and fifth in order of command, with only the Operations Officer, the Third Officer, the Second Officer, and the Captain above him.

#SciFiSat [2/4] It was traditional for the Junior Bridge Officer to call out “Captain on the Bridge!” When the Com Officer was absent, the job fell to Robbie. It always gave him a thrill. Someday, he thought, the junior officer will be announcing Capt. Robbin Nikalishin.

#SciFiSat [3/4] In the meantime, Kolm had advanced to Chief Mechanical Engineer, with the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Technically, that made him Robbie’s superior, and Robbie took a wicked delight in teasing him about that.

#SciFiSat [4/4] If they would meet in a corridor, Robbie would snap one of his exaggerated salutes, shouting, “Lt. Cmdr. MaGilli-CRUDDY, sir!” And Kolm would retort disgustedly, “Oh, stow it, Nickel-shins! Ye’re embarrassin’ yeself!”
