Why yes, yes that IS the Penelope! I'd recognize the silhouette anywhere, having examined her from all angles. Not sure what those two odd projections off the bow are, but the rest is all Penelope.
I just re-read what I wrote there. It seems ... "off". "Heh, heh, he said 'two odd projections off her bow'. Heh, heh..."
Some days, it pays to get more sleep before engaging the keyboard....

Again... and thanks to my friend Judy at NASA for the images, I've managed
to obtain another view of that particular craft.
It does seem to be The Penelope, although there's deep scoring on the hull
and it is running Warning Lights.

Not so odd. Of course, in zero gee they do look a bit different.
That spelling is my fault. Originally, Masqua spelled it "Yddryl", just like Badger did.
The Voyages of the Penelope and the Yydryl
Did Judy at NASA say whether there were any distress signals coming from the craft in the UV spectrum?
I heard through the grape vine that she has a special radio telescope tricked out to receive just such signals!
...I'm playing catch up as well.

So did Masqua change the title?
The Voyages of the Penelope and the Yydryl
I'm so confused. I'll go back and see if there's an edit for the name change.
Added Note: Nope. She's always been the Yydryl - unless Masqua changed the name in the original photos too.

Supplemental Rules for The Voyages of the Penelope and the Yddryl
Ship-to-Ship communications between the Penelope and the Yddryl will not occur until they meet at some point after departure from their respective outposts.
Would it be advisable to run separate threads for the humans and Yydryl "denizens" (for lack of a better species name)

The design for the organic Yydryl looks sort of like a Romulan Bird of Prey, 2nd version.

It's the 'Yddryl', but we can change it to your spelling easier than changing the pic.

Ok gotcha, so Masqua did change it (I didn't see a post change edit) so, I guess that means Masqua (or someone) also changed this:
Anyhoooo

...Let me know if this is incongruous with any workings you all have in mind.
BIAD, what has become of Carimono, the wolves, and Mr Jordan? Do you have plans for Tibbs
and the Vithians?
Or is that over? Muckles is still watching from his button, but I've lost track of what Tibbs' main
agenda was with the Vithians monitoring him.

Tell BIAD that nylons are horrible. And they don't hold up well.
He should save his allowance for something else. (A fuzzy red stole?)
Although, the girls nowadays are wearing socks with their heels.
He could try that, I guess!
Those black hairs, though....does he shave them regularly?
Leghairs in socks can be prickly.

Neno, how far are you all from where the Diamond lab is? Are you headed there?
Should my crew be headed there? Or to where you are?

The Vithians that visited BIAD have travelled back to where Committees go... probably
