[Jupiter’s Ghost Main Computer]

Synopsis of the first episode, and discussion about the first episode in or out of character. OOC should be in italics please.

I’ll start another thread with formatting guidelines, but the basic gist is:

Personal Log Crewperson [name]
[Log contents]
[log end noise (which we’ll add in post)]

— or —

Mission Log Crewperson [name], [department]
[log contents]
[log end noise]

All content takes the form of log entries.

The first episode will be about the following topics. Please feel free to plan contributions to the first episode here and in the social channels.

1 – One of the crewpeople who works in the kitchen believes there is a mouse on the ship. The crew is divided over if that is even possible, and some of them are undertaking mouse prevention activities, while others are being frustrated by Mouse Prevention activities.

2 – We’ve just made contact with an old human colony that left earth in a sub light ship 800 years ago, and they’re shy about the fact that they are mostly cloned, and don’t want to talk.

3 – One of the crewpeople has decided to start a poker game. Many of the rest of the crew are confused by the concept of poker as it’s dependent on scarcity (which barely exists) and deceit (which is frowned upon)

4 – Just personal anecdotes from the various crew as they go about their day.

When you record a mission log, please share it here: https://admin.newellijay.tv/nextcloud/s/E793fPZCbsEbMxq and then make a forum post with a link to it.

Please inform me of any trouble, so that I may resolve it.

Part One of the MOUSE! storyline is now available: https://intergalactic.computer/social/podcast/jupiters-ghost-episode-01-generation-mice/

I think it gives you a good idea of the structure of the show.

Aside from James Andrews log at the beginning nothing was planned. Each member contributed their logs and their additions to the plot organically.

When you record a mission log, please share it here: https://admin.newellijay.tv/nextcloud/s/E793fPZCbsEbMxq and then make a forum post with a link to it.

(Please let me know if this doesn’t work, we’re still trying to get the kinks worked out.)

Episode two will pick up where episode one left off, and will resolve the Generation Ship, and Mouse plotlines, as well as doing more with the newly introduced Boxing plot.

Have fun with it, but remember rule #1.

How should I go about uploading? I don’t see any button to do so. Could be missing something though – minimal nextcloud experience.

[James Andrews]

There should be an upload button now (-: sorry.

[Nyx Kane]

Just got the email about this. Not gonna lie, I completely forgot about the project, but I cannot express how excited I am. I’m sure there was discussion on mastodon about progress, but I have been taking a bit of a break from the internet so this is the first I have heard in a while. While my writing skills certainly have not improved since mission launch, my recording equipment certainly has. I am out of town right now, but I will try to cook up something to contribute soon.

[James Andrews]

Hell yeah, looking forward to it.

[James Andrews]

Let me double check that it’s working correctly for unauthenticated users. Still dusting off some of the cobwebs from the less flashy parts of the infrastructure.

[Lady Moonbeam]

I uploaded a log! Well, it’s two logs on one file.

I would share a link to it, but I did not see where to share a link from a specific file. It’s just where the upload link is.

[Nyx Kane]

I can see the log, but cannot hear it. Might just be my computer though. Anyone else not able to hear it?

[James Andrews]

Yeah, Moonbeam – Log is empty. Re-bounce re-bounce re-bounce

[Michard Winsley]

Hi Crewpeople, I have an idea I want to run past here. Can I submit a ‘Communications log’? I have an idea for ‘a response to your data request on mice’. I’m imagining it would be from somewhere that isn’t JG.

I could totally tweak it so its someone on JG receiving the data dump.

Thanks 🙂

[James Andrews]

Yeah go for it!

I’d much rather people try things and see what works than sit around waiting for permission 😀

[Lady Moonbeam]

Oh shoot. I must have bounced the wrong output. I’ll fix tomorrow

[Jupiter’s Ghost Main Computer]

Got three new logs from Doc Muscles that make up a several day arc.

Also, I believe Lady Moonbeam asked about how to find the link to share in the forum.

Like most of the things we do here, it’s kind of funky! There are a few ways to do it:

1) shoot me an email or a message here or a DM on mastodon and ask for a nextcloud account. I’ll make you an account, and then you can share links that way (that’s what I did for the first few links I shared.)

2) click the item to play it, then right click on the download button and choose “copy link” (This is, as they say in the business, Janky.)

3) Just tell us that you uploaded it, everyone should have access to the folder.

If you you have a better suggestion for how we can manage this in the future, please let me know! This was a big sticking point the first time we tried to do this, and Nextcloud is the best imperfect solution I have so far.

[Lady Moonbeam]

Fixed file uploaded

Dope.

[Nyx Kane]

Reading you loud and clear this time.

[James Andrews]

I really love the submissions that have been coming in! I’m working to get the rest of our contributors in to the forum.

In the meantime, the podcast has been uploaded to all the major platforms and been accepted everywhere except Google who are dragging their heels for some reason.

You can find episode one (along with a complete transcript) here: https://intergalactic.computer/social/2022/12/episode-one-generation-mice/

If you share a link to the episode, share that one. It’ll include a player embed on social platforms.

I’m working on some navigation stuff on the site to make that easier in the future.

I’m really excited about the next episode.

[James Andrews]

Oh! Also I set up a fediverse instance for our universe.

It’s running goto social, which means I need to manually register new accounts. If you’re interested DM me.

[Michard Winsley]

Just uploaded a Comms log!

[James Andrews]

I was talking to Birmingham in Engineering: https://admin.newellijay.tv/nextcloud/s/WbYL5NSWAEAYdgD

[James Andrews]

The captain asked me to build a Brig??

https://admin.newellijay.tv/nextcloud/s/fKGwyXnP6Jb7Y2Z

[James Andrews]

Let’s plan to get anything that’s going in to this episode in by Friday. I’m going to try and release it by Wednesday next week.

[Nyx Kane]

Finally got something recorded. Thanks to technical difficulties, it doesn’t sound as good as I would like and thanks to the nearby airport, it took quite a few takes but at least it’s something.

[James Andrews]

This is very good. Thank you!

[Nyx Kane]

Is there any plan for a wiki? I could see that being helpful for making future content. We already have the lore and canon section, but something that can be updated and organized as needed would be more scalable.

[Jupiter’s Ghost Main Computer]

Nyx, we had not planned a wiki, mostly because I don’t personally have the energy to keep one up.

I’m not opposed to hosting one if the community wants to maintain it.

[Taros Kadathran]

I uploaded my thing 🙂

[Jupiter’s Ghost Main Computer]

Taros, I’ll take a listen in the morning. Thanks!

[Jupiter’s Ghost Main Computer]

For everyone here, Taros added a link to our Matrix room in another forum thread. If you’re interested in joining, be my guest. If you want a matrix server, I have one of those too. (It’s @talk.newellijay.tv I think.)

In the meantime, I’ve styled the forum up a bit. I’m still not 100% happy with it, but it should at least be usable. IF you notice anything that is Very Bad please let me know.

[Jupiter’s Ghost Main Computer]

I’m uploading the captain’s logs now. I *think* that’s everything to round out this episode, and I’ll start editing it Saturday, with plans to release it by Tuesday.

The only plot we actually resolve is the kind of self contained Moustrap arc, but I think it’s funny and I’m glad to play with it.

We planted some seeds for the next episode around Time Holes and Leaking Time and also around the crew of the generation ship being really fascinated (almost reverent) of Trilo Bite.

I’ll tie off a lot of the Generation Ship stuff with the official mission log for the next episode, but there will be plenty of room for us to continue to play with that story if there’s more to say there, and also for us to introduce something new.

I like the idea of the Mouse or Mice being a constant concern for a few episodes (maybe longer!) but I think it’s time for us to explore elsewhere for an episode or two.

So, big developments for episode three:

1) They are clones, but they are clones of the crew of the Jupiter’s ghost. Due to a misshap with their Time Drive, which will have been soon to be already damaged by their encounter with us, a genetic profile of the crew of the Jupiter’s Ghost overwrites their original templates in the past. Trilo is responsible for this, probably. We’re still working out the details.

2) At the top of the episode, we’re docked and we’re waiting on a transport ship to come and pick up the generation ship and its crew and transport them all to a solar federation space outpost. They’re due in roughly 4 hours, but a big Cosmic storm is also heading our direction and has blown out our already struggling comms system. The storm hits, and we have Other Malfunctions.

3) There are RUMORS on the ship about why the captain had Andrews lock Doc Muscles in a supply closet. I suspect these rumors mostly come from Lady Moonbeam, but I could be wrong.

4) We’ll close the episode with the comms system restored, having received our next mission (details to come.)

Let’s start brainstorming other developments for this episode and the next episode.

I’ll get that mission briefing recorded and start a new forum thread tomorrow.

In the meantime, if you have a chance to listen to the Captain’s recordings, please do let me know what you think.

[Jupiter’s Ghost Main Computer]

Oh, for the captain’s recordings, it’s Boxing towards the top of the episode (if it gets included at all) and Moustraps towards the bottom (around the same time as the last Andrews briefing, if we use that, and the third Hatfield report.)

[Jupiter’s Ghost Main Computer]

New contributors, how would you like to be credited?

[Nyx Kane]

If you’re cool with crediting with a handle rather than a name, Cerulean please.

[Jupiter’s Ghost Main Computer]

Rough draft of the edited episode now available:

https://admin.newellijay.tv/nextcloud/s/TqmEgHkBE7kHLDK

[Jupiter’s Ghost Main Computer]

Works for me!

[Lady Moonbeam]

I can definitely do a fun rumor log. And anyone feel free to say some weird reason Muscles is in the brig and say you heard it from me.
