08/27/11(Sat)00:44 No.16078915The Space... the gaping abyss, cold and brutal. The oppressive expanse, filled with naught but debris and our hypersonic communication waves. You go into one of these overpriced deathtraps, flung over at the barbarous speed of 300000 kilometers per minute and you say; ´Gee, that´s fast!´ Sure it is, so they though those pencil-pushers and pussies at Washington, at Moscow, at France, at Songjhan.

"Gaea`s firstborns, to perpetuate our species" they yammered, yammer like all those fancy-ass bigwigs always do. "Meet wonderful locales, see the universe!" Bullshit, all of it.

Three fucking days for an hour! twenty-four hours equals seventy-two days, almost a quarter of a year for a single Lightday. Shit. Five lights days per year, and Pegasus being... 3 ...million years away. Oh God.
The fuckers responsible for this are long dead, shit. DAMN IT! Those Cunts-
Suddenly, the sleek granite Radiocoder lights up, indicating an incoming call! Will you take it, y/n?
