Xenomorph: We commit his body to the Void …

Steven ‘Ripper’ Pearson. With us always.

In Memorium: Steven ‘Ripper’ Pearson, station security officer RSV Shackleton, husband and friend. Survived by loving wife Iriaka Conrad. Steven passed away in a tragic airlock incident. He was a responsible and hard-working member of the csiro-billington extended family, dedicating his career to crew safety and order.

‘We remember the good times together’.
Wayne – friend, fellow officer and Drop Bear.

‘Best mate ever.’
Chul-Moo – friend, fellow officer and Drop Bear.

A memorial service will be held at 1700 Thursday at the Events Hall 3, Kilda level, followed by drinks at the Chatsubo, Area 4, Collingwood level.

In lieu of floriforms, mourners are requested to make a donation to the csiro-billington Childrens Education Fund.

Cai Gentle, Shuttle Pilot, RSV Shackleton

Female, star-born (corporation citizenship), mid twenties.

Company Brat, well-liked, but a bit… docile.

In an artificial world where even the sanitation workers have double PhDs, Cai Gentle is an anomaly. The twenty three year old woman  is a corporation brat, born and raised in deep space on company research stations and colonies. She has little formal education, but possesses resources and reflexes honed by a lifetime in artificial space environments. She is one of the space-born. As a shuttle pilot and cargo handler/courier, Cai is one of the most well-known faces on Shackleton.

Cai Gentle is a player character in Xenomorph. Artwork created and rendered in DAZ Studio, with postwork in Adobe Photoshop.

Mission Call
In the dark hours after general curfew, station security control is bathed in shadow.

Quiet all decks. Shackleton’s tiny habitat of some fourteen hundred fragile souls lies sleeping. An entire steel-encased world surrenders to sleep. A few rest peacefully, others not. All dream. Perhaps even MOTHER dreams.

With a soft repeated beeping, the watch officer’s screen wakens to life. Down-scrolling letters reflect in the glass of a space helmet.

MOTHER calls, cryptic and insistent. Something is amiss.

MOTHER has something that needs doing.

On Shackleton a woman is sleeping. On Shackleton a woman awakes.

In the darkness, someone is weeping.
