Here be Dragons

[Ben Ryder]

A planet not shown on the system map or left hand panel,

An unknown artefact

and now a station not shown on the system map.

What ever next... Aliens?

 

[Jackie Silver]

Coordinates or it didn't happen.

 

[Stigbob]

He's been alone in the void too long, it's space madness. Unless he has proof in which case he the man.

 

[Ben Ryder]

Falisci.

1200ly out from the station.

Pictures follow.




Take a look at the clouds on the system map where the line breaks.

I dont have a shot of the side panel.

"Tyger, tyger burning bright
in the forests of the night
what immortal hand or eye
can frame thy fearful symmetry..?"

(Blake, I believe?)

I remember that maps with white, unexplored areas sometimes bore the text: "here, there be tygers", referring to monsters (/aliens). Memory triggered when I read your heading.


Edit: Yes, here it is:

TIGER, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?

Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

If discovery scanners can suffer from SPACE MADNESS (believe me, it happened to mine on many an occasion) then I guess it can happen to anyone...

 

[jpaulwilson1982]

Aww.... and here I was expecting to see some space dragons
