[Episode] Groundroach Day

What would happen, one wonders, if that villainous mastermind Darkly Gameover (Joe Lepore), hacked into the CSS Cavalier holozone to create a series of deathtraps to test Liberty Balboa (Branson Reese) and Mitzi Festerchild (Ali Fisher)? Would they rise to the occasion? Would they get stuck in the first deathtrap and in the interest of time Darkly would be forced to jettison the rest? One wonders!!

[Episode] A Ship in a Pocket

In order to pass through a dangerous Correxian checkpoint, the CSS Cavalier is shrunk down to the size of a coin, and escorted secretly by Dr. Dewey (Christopher Hastings) and Klaus Kitski (Branson Reese). With the lives of everyone aboard the ship in their literal hands, will Dewey and Klaus rise to the occasion? Or will their checkered pasts come back to haunt them?

[Episode] Showdown at Prosperous Chasm

When Ensign Gelmire Lysander (Tim Platt), Ship's Cat Chestershire (Ali Fisher), and Ship's Mortician Clinton Bodycount (Branson Reese), need emergency shuttlecraft repairs on the abandoned mining planet SilvGold-7, they find themselves in a *gulp* ghost town. But surely the local legend of a ghostly miner who haunts the mines is nothing more than a spooky story...isn't it? For our heroes' sake, I hope so.

[Episode] The Legend of Sleepy Fellow

Though beloved members of our heroic crew, sometimes officers Clare President (Taylor Moore) and Rip Van Winkle (Tim Platt) can feel like outsiders.

THE GROOMDA FILES: Part Final (pt. 5)

Part Final

by Aubrey Lysander

“Dude, I seriously think working at those weird magazines has, like, rotted your brain. You assume everything is a conspiracy. He’s just a normal vape salesman.”

Gelmire walks me through the Cavelier, introducing me to his coworkers and peers. I would have hoped for the crew of an intergalactic war machine to have more reasonable employees at its helm. Instead, I’m welcomed by a parade of the ridiculous...

Part MORE (yeah, more GROOMDA)

by Aubrey Lysander

Memory of a stupor.

Just type what you can recall. Already everything is fading.

The tentacle lulls me into a trance. A faint resemblance to the riff of “Stellar” by Incubus and what I imagine Odysseus heard from The Sirens of Space Greek Moon Mythology. The memory of the melody is almost enough to knock me out again. Fight it, Aubrey. Recount the vision.

Part SpaceThree

I have one of Groomda’s tentacles.

It’s about two feet long. Four inch circumference in the middle with each end diminishing into a classic tentacle point. Purple, slimy skin with  a lavender “suction cup area” at the bottom. And boy does it have a personality.

Mostly the tentacle acts like a Terran Cat. It naps; it zoomies; it leaps from surface to surface as if on a mission of discovery. &n...

Here are the facts.

1) Groomda is a high ranking officer on the Cavalier.

2) Groomda is a scientist.

3) Groomda is more successful at tasks that require feelings than tasks that require lasers, which is a silly way to design a scientist.

4) Groomda has an ice form.

I was able to gather this information from my brother Gelmire and not, strangely, from Groomda’s Vanguard Public Profile. Groomda’s VPP is unlike eve...

Groomda’s Deal

by Aubrey Lysander

My brother Gelmire has long provided me material. Back when the notion of a career in writing was as distant from my thoughts as Jupiter from Earth (pre Vermont Portal), I would recount Gelmire’s endless social disasters to our cousins via VMail (mail via Vermont Portal). His illustrious career at the Academy gave a personal perspective to the more bureaucratic nuts and bolts journalism I was producing at my first job...
