My position is "Navigation Officer".

This includes knowledge of what is where, the location of stars, planets, galaxies, universes, the terrain of planets and gathering intelligence on these things.

Going by how things are progressing, I think the Penelope must be hard to find volunteers for.

Come-on! She's a nice looking ship!

Hey, that's an idea... how about we choose a pic for each ship, to add realism? We can put those pics into the opening post of the Opera.

Good idea.

This is going to be a legendary collaboration.

Celestial cartography. Invaluable. Helm is also yours if you want it.

Engineer Trav's Space Shanty
Here aboard the Penelope
Where open space is an endless sea
We drink and stink and don't give a hoot
Cause me and Lucille's got high-heeled boots!

I can sense that our crew mates are headed our way now Captain, here is a glass of Rigel tea, go easy now you know what happened last time you became 'too' relaxed...

Hey... it's Sunday night. Most humans are glued to their sets either watching the hordes of America's Top Models rioting over an M&M or tucking in for the night after playing with their pets.

My guess is that the human elements will come storming back by tomorrow afternoon.

It is a cause of wonder; how such disgusting creatures ever became space-fairing at all.

Tree creature will be set against former tree creature, for your "squirrel" shall eat you!

Random thought: Ok so Planet 'X' is the setting for the first encounter, the planet as it is on course will impact earth in a matter of weeks, however as the crew works with what we consider not only antiquated but potentially toxic nuclear matter to divert the incoming planet, our sensors have detected an approaching white hole which if disturbed from the explosion would cut off not only our ship from returning to our home world, but an entire sector of the Galaxy from any future interstellar travel.

Meanwhile there are discrepancies even within our crew as to whether or not to attempt to intercept the earth vessel by destroying it, thereby allowing complete annihilation of their planet, or some form of meeting with them and expressing the necessity of not blowing up planet 'X' without giving away the advanced technological knowledge of the white hole (better name for it I hope) which would exponentially give them equal footing with the rest of the Galactic hierarchy.

I personally am neutral when it comes to the humans (you-mans) as I know both their evolving spiritual side as well as the barbaric and cruel dark side.

No ego here, just throwing out ideas...
