Mmmmm. As I type, The Saucy Sue (which until recently was called Sea
Princess) is casting off her moorings and easing out of spacedock at one
quarter impulse, heading out above the ecliptic before engaging her stardrive
for her trials and shakedown.
Captain Ahab, descendant of the brother of the great mariner (and early
submariner) Captain Ahab, having destroyed all the whales on Earth without
finding the white whale, seeks whaly types on other planets, on the basis that
the white whale must have left Earth and gone to some other planet. And while
he's about it, he's more than happy to obliterate any species/society/anarchic
collective that's been at all sloppy about exterminating whaly types
themselves. Actually, the whole whale thing has gotten a bit passé, so to be
frank, Captain Ahab simply seeks carnage.
So he, his two tanker babes, his black guard, and his horde (well thirty-odd)
of especially cross piratical space dudes are a'comin'.
Be afraid.
Oh, and pop out a keg of rum, will you?

Still Baldly going...
