Heigh Ho! heigh ho, it's exploring we do go

The Nix Alba had just docked..
"Universal Cartographics have given us the naming rights for these dwarf star systems," Kirsten said pointing to the display.
"You remember what we agreed?" Roman asked.
"Yeah but those stuffed shirts will never go for it."
"What if we used Latin"
"I guess it could work"
"Let's see, we get Severiorum, Somnolentus, Verecunde, Stulta and Beatus., The last two don't directly translate"
"Well Doc could become doctor, so that gives us Medicus and if we knock the y of Sneezy we get Sternutatio".
" Seven dwarfs discovered by Snow White and they wont see it."

Looking for love

Sonia sat reading the latest bulletins on her tablet, lost amid the indistinct hubbub of voices in the cafe around her.

She became aware of a shift in atmosphere and glanced up. Possibly the loudest, most obnoxious man was making a beeline towards her. His little legs stomped purposefully as he shoved his way past chairs and people alike.

"Miss White," he boomed, thrusting out his hand and raising it to her height, "It's me, Roman. Roman D. Warves the seventh to be precise. I recognised you from your profile picture."

"I'm sorry I can't say the same." She replied.

Just look at paauggie's Drabble. There are still some amazing Drabbles coming in. I'd hate to commit myself at this early stage. As for choosing a subject with which to torture Psykokow. well, I do remember suggesting a "Psykokow must die" topic, and that kind of backfired on me. People had the audacity to kill me instead. :)

Now you see I torture him and all I get is a slow hand clap.

We've not been getting enough votes for torturing and killing Psykokow. We'll have to do something worse than that to him to win :)

Passing the time

Another long haul to one of these outposts, way beyond distances any sane person would settle and all because of some pristine reserves in a small asteroid belt, by now long reduced to rubble.

Well at least he had downloaded his latest favorite e-mag, with the much anticipated results of the Miss Galaxy vote. He moves the ever-blinking dialog on leaking hydraulics to the side of the screen and opens the download.

His eyes shut in disbelief as he sees the headline of an unknown magazine pop up “Connoisseurs' Delight – Roman dwarves going spelunking”.

“I’m going to kill you, brother”.

The Summoning

“It’s the Ancient chant of the pygmy priests from the distant history of Beldarkri, rumoured to have brought luck, health and prosperity to all.”
“And you found it floating in space in a canister”
“I KNOW!!!! What luck…”
Fortune smiled on the pair, and after so many poor finds in deep space..
“Well are you going to do it then?”
“what?”
“chant it, and change our luck for the better?”
T.J. scowled at Psykokow…
“You don’t believe in this claptrap do you?”
“I just think it can’t hurt”
“OK then” his face twisted and he chanted.
“Burn the MOOOOOF”

Considering that he is "Family" and has known psykokow all his life; shared meals, houses, rooms with him (rooms- as have I, one night and NO I don't want to talk about it) heaping indignations upon him really isn't going to have a lot of effect.

Once there was a spaceship which was owned by two roman dwarves who were infighting all the time.
"Quod tu tanquam saccus plenus sacculum limaces", said one to the other with a sneer.
"Me?? Cognovi quia faciet Dominus oblitus emere fomes!", said the other and hit the first on his galea.
"Respice super ibi! Numquid... numquid possibile est?", said the first excitedly and pointed at a canister floating towards them.
"Strenuus in tractor trabes!"

They ran down to the cargo hold.

"Est fomes!", said the other.

"Euge!!", they shouted together.

They refueled and lived happily among the stars ever after.

I eyed the man and his merchandise suspiciously.
“Roman Dwarves? I don’t get it.”
“Did you ever read about fireworks Commander? Flights of fancy from ancient Earth, considered alchemical marvels at the time. They would light them and gawp at the colourful sparks that emerged.”
“Sparks? I don’t need sparks Professor. I want to make a great big bloody hole.”
“Wait, wait! The thing is that the Romans had ones called ‘Candles’, slender things… And well… It’s only a namesake. Mine are hardly slender as you can see…”
“Oh. Squat and wide, like…”
“Like Dwarves, very angry and loud Dwarves.”

‘Oh wow!’ exclaimed Davie, who was manning the Sanctimonious’ discovery scanner.

They’d decided to explore some systems away from the Alliance, just to break from the routine trading runs.

‘What have we got?’ asked Mac.

‘Looks like two earth type worlds,’ Davie’s tone turned to disappointment. ’But they are Dwarf planets!’

Mac sighed in irritation. ‘Probably not enough there for a major settlement…’

The scanner flared up with tens of contacts.

‘But enough for a pirate base!’

Mac threw power into the Asp’s engines while calling up the Galaxy Map.

‘Got to remember; beware the Dwarves of the Roman System!’

Latin seems to be a really weird language. Just the slightest change in the english sentence reshuffles the latin translation completely so that it says something entirely different.

I'm happy you liked it! :)


"Quod tu tanquam saccus plenus sacculum limaces"
"You're as dumb as a bag of slugs"

"Me?? Cognovi quia faciet Dominus oblitus emere fomes!"
"Me?? You're the one who forgot to buy fuel!"

"Respice super ibi! Numquid... numquid possibile est?"
"Look over there! Is it... is it possible?"

"Strenuus in tractor trabes!"
"Activate the tractor beam!"

"Est fomes!"
"It's fuel!"

"Euge!!"
"Hooray!!"
