Day 8: After arriving at the today's beacon our sensors picked up what I assumed to be a refugee ship. despite the fact that their ship looked to be in bad shape, they seemed to be avoiding us. I decided to hail them to see if they needed assistance.
Right as I opened communications a Zoltan ship jumped into the system, its weapons hot, moving to engage us.

The Logs of Captain Oni of the Kestrel Ship Eidolon: Days 5-7
Day 5: It seems as though every day we jump we find some new challenge. After the horrors of the nebula, though, today's events were almost humdrum.
We have verified that the rebels are, indeed, after us. Judging from our long-range scanners, their search is massive, and will encompass the entire sector in a week or so. They are legion, but thorough: if they maintain their current pace, we should have no trouble staying ahead of them.

The Logs of Captain Oni, of the Kestrel Ship Eidolon: Days 1-3
I am Captain Oni of the Eidolon, a Kestrel-class cruiser in service to the Federation.
I am now departing on a vital mission to relay important information regarding the Rebel fleet to the Federation fleet, eight sectors away. I am unsure if the Rebels know of my mission.
With luck, this log will be an account of our first successful strike at the rebellion, the mission that turned the tide of the war.
Otherwise, may this log serve as a record of our struggle against the savagery of the rebellion. Know that we fought to the very last.

Movie Review #3: 2001: A Space Odyssey
Last year one of the last books I read was Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey. I wanted to read the book before I watched the movie, even though I knew that the book was written alongside the movie and, in fact, was released after the movie. Still, I would consider myself a book guy more than a movie guy and, moreover, I had a quota to meet.
Well, last night I finally got to watch this classic movie. Naturally, I spent a good deal of time comparing the movie to the book, but it was mostly because I'm interested in how film and print handle the same story. I'm rarely of the opinion that the book is better than the movie, nor vice versa.
