SHIPS LOGS
Zephyr Air Transport's fleet of continuous merchant dirigibles is continually scouring the many earths, connecting outposts and communities far and wide. Jobs are picked up "on the fly" by ships in your area, and may pick up whatever additional work they're able to drum up on their own. Each ship in our fleet is owner-operated, working under the auspices and supplementary logistical infrastructdure of Zephyr Air Transport Inc.
If you're on a crew, feel free to post to your ship's logs at any time! Zephyr Air Transport believes strongly in transparency.

"This is grueling. I hate marching. Especially endless marching." "Well it's better than being in the trenches." "You've been there? The front lines, I mean?" "Oh yeah. And then some. I'll take this any day." "I've never met anyone who's been there. Is your tour over?" "Ah, no. I'll be back. No doubt." "Is it as rough as they say?" "The Squid Machines are there to take the brunt of the punishment. And...(READ MORE)

"I don't understand," I said. "What's the big picture?" I was still groggy from the mickey Mandy slipped me. "What we're doing is wrong, Piney," she said, slurping back and forth the floor of her office. "The Sentient Slime Empire is just growth for growth's sake. Penetrating markets, self replicating, packaging ourselves up for another campaign. It's not healthy for us, and certainly not for our target markets." "Empire? It's a network! Since...(READ MORE)

An antenna found atop a dirigible. A strange device uncovered in its cargo hold. A message from the past playing on loudspeakers, an unnaturally deep barely intelligible voice playing at painfully slow speeds. Journal of Harbormaster L. Sky Last entry Chaos and anarchy ... taken over the station ... ordered abandon ship... afraid Its too late. We ... trapped. Who would have thought ... tasking a bunch of maniacs ... solving our ballast problems ... utter disaster? ... crew of th...(READ MORE)

"Ah, Mr. Glenn. Thank you for seeing us today. "Randy, if you would be so kind as to pick up Mr. Glenn and make him comfortable. Yes, there on the "pillow of honor." Ha ha! Thank you. "As you are no doubt unaware, Mr. Glenn, the tides are in a bit of chaos at the moment. And while that "moment" lasts for many thousands of years, by your conception, that doesn't mean there isn't busy business behind the scenes! No sirree bob. Or John. As it were."...(READ MORE)

"So, lookin' for work, are ye?" The grizzled old man talked like a sailor. "Are you from... the high seas?" I ask. There was a gleam in guzzled old man's blue eyes. "Oh, aye! I've traveled the high seas indeed..." He looked off into the sky. "But you need a bit of sailor's luck, am I right?" he continued, grabbing my hands. "Well don't you fret, matey, we can take care of you, sure as the whale's blow. Now you just come with me....&quo...(READ MORE)

They were easy enough to track. They weren't even trying to hide, getting lunch at a corner bistro, letting themselves seen. What were they thinking? Suicide mission? The SWAT team opened fire, bullets flying, shattering the windows, tearing up the patio umbrellas. But then the monkey's training kicked in. Unarmed, but slipped away through the cafe and out a back door. Don't know why they let SWAT make a mess of it. ISB probably just laying back and watching. But I was watching more close...(READ MORE)

GRINNI: Here, in this frame, see these lines? These arcs? DIDEL: Well, it's pretty grainy. And it's all washed out from the light. GRINNI: Your eyes are still half blinded. MARMIE: At least they're not half burnt off. PREHEN: *moans* MARMIE: I can see the lines. They're curly, And symmetrical, off in both directions. And they come together... at the top... GRINNI: Into a glyph. Exactly. DIDEL: A glyph? GRINNI: Specifically a symbol from Skunk mythology. Cucullata. She who...(READ MORE)

The tough girl turned her bike around and squinted at us in the sun. "Why don't you tell us about this Confusion?" I asked. "Used to be we'd paint a picture and it would make it come true," she said, "You'd paint a picture of a car crash, and sure enough, a car would crash. You'd paint a picture of somebody getting shot by a gun, and sure enough, somebody'd get shot by a gun. You'd paint a picture of a bomb going off, and sure enough, a bomb would go off....(READ MORE)

Luckily Big Bulldog had gum. “I like to be prepared for any eventuality,” Big Bulldog said. “Including adjusting to remember differences in air pressure,” I said. “Standard airshipman’s supply,” said Big Bulldog. My ears popped. “Must be driving real deep,” said Big Bulldog. “All the way to the bottom of the sea, I reckon….” “And what are we inside of?” I asked. “Something like a giant turtle, seems to me,” said Big Bulldog. “Somethin...(READ MORE)

"So," asked the navigator as we huffed and puffed up another slope, "how do you suppose that kidney is doing?" The navigator nodded over to the captain. The Watoobian reindeer kidney, wrapped in cheesecloth like a burrito, bulged in the pocket of his fluffy tundra coat. There was a stain. It was starting to drip. "Uh, fine?" I answered. "It hasn't been out of the containment unit that long." "Seems like the last thing these reindeer would nee...(READ MORE)

"Baaaaaaaa," said Captain @katelynn. "Can't reach her mouth now," said Dranitsyn. We were adhered to the inner wall of the gas balloon of the blimp-witch. Sticky, smelly, and horrible, like a fly strip. And just as strong. "My hair is completely stuck," said Khlebnikov. "You're going to have to cut it off," said Dranitsyn. A pulsing globe at the bottom of the balloon cast an eerie amber glow. "I guess we're headed for the goat farm n...(READ MORE)

LIving backwards is way easier if you if you if you use BIG moments. Lose the small moment mindset or you get all hung up. For instance, rather than every single step of your morning work routine, just measure it as a single chunk. Then your commute--all one cut scene. Then breakfast, followed by your morning bath routine. Again, take them as whole pieces, not each constituent step. Sleep is the easy one. It runs backwards naturally....(READ MORE)
USS Imperative 1/10/2026 11:15pm
Fritzi Zwicki
Yes, uh, hello. Is this thing on? Can everyone hear me ok? Yes? Ok. Hi. I'm Fritzi Zwicki. Captain of the USS Imperative. But I wasn't always the captain. I was just a midshipman engineer, deep in the engine room, when there was an accident with the ramjets. A Hyperspatial Mezmo Event Level 9, which took me three realities over and two up to the right. This landed me here, in your very hospitable reality, and me the captain of the ship. Sounds great, right? Well, I'll admit, it's c...(READ MORE)

So it's our first big job. It's all snowy and blowy and they send like 20 of us over to pick it up with a coupe of forklifts. The cargo is on pallets, wrapped in black canvas with white straps holding it down, under floodlights in the dark. Then suddenly I don't know what happens but we're attacked by these giant furry Ice Worms, or tentacles or something. They're bigger than trees but fast as snakes, coming down on us from all over. "Save the cargo!" the supervisor's screaming while s...(READ MORE)

Now, I'm just a grease monkey on the Unfamiliar Cabbage, but I heard about an angle on this whole "Food for Thought" racket. There's an ocean of pure vibrant consciousness, right there underneath all this "food" and "thought." All we gotta do is look WITHIN, and turn off the mind's churning hunger for that next thought. It's like the boilers. You stop feeding 'em coal and they stop feeding the power to the props and what happens? Sure, you can't push the ship wh...(READ MORE)
