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.

"See? Look at that squirrel. Look at its mouth." "Like its lips? Does a squirrel have lips?" "I mean its jaw. The bottom part of its face. Doesn't it look all purple?" "Well, it's sort of in a shadow. But yeah, it's dark. Maybe from eating berries?" "All the berries are gone or dried up. What if it's some kind of fungus?" "A fungus?" "Yeah, like a zombie fungus. Like it has rabies. Wants to bite us." "...(READ MORE)

Great Mama Two-hands


The Pie Gobbler's eyes were bigger than his plate. Oh he'd eat two dozen pieces a day, from two dozen different pies, with two dozen cups of coffee. But oh such a waste! The Pie Gobbler's house was filled with uneaten pies, pies with just one piece cut out of them, pies just sitting there and attracting flies. It was sad. "Oh Pie Gobbler. Why don't you order just one piece? You can gobble all the pie you want, but you want more pie than you can gobble!" "Leave me alone,"...(READ MORE)

DEAR CLIENT: They say you can never step into the same river twice, and that apparently applies to flying through maps backwards! As we were attempting to return to the Laen and continue our delivery of one (1) Nest-Bed to a particular version of Psychic High School, we saw a great city in the distance that was NOT on the map. Even from a great distance the towers of the city were enormous, and as we grew closer their size became unimaginable. They grew larger, and larger... until it beca...(READ MORE)

The Mephitis 9/11/2023 9:29pm

Captain Pirate IX


Riding the Waveform is one of the best parts of the job. Not only does it look AMAZING from the inside, but it creates a subtle vibration throughout The Mephitis that is both wonderfully relaxing and stimulating at the same time. Plus, really not much to do during the ride -- no steering, no loading, no unloading. We're out of radio contact for the duration, so no pesky calls or distractions. Nothing to do but keep an eye on the instruments and enjoy the ride. Purple and green auroras spill o...(READ MORE)

The Revelation 9/9/2023 9:17pm

Phoenix Quinn


"Well this has gotta be the smallest island ever," I said. "It can't be an island," Campbell said. "We waked in the same direction the entire time. So it's more like a sphere, and we walked all the way around it and came back around the other side." "But the sun didn't move," said Camy. "So it can't be like a little planet. More like a ring. A tiny ringworld with the sun in the middle." "Sounds like flat earth talk to me," I sa...(READ MORE)

The Eolas Anatolijus 9/7/2023 11:58pm

Julie Cairo, Esq.


After snorfling me quite excessively, the Grub People of this underground realm soon lost interest and returned to their grubbing. My slide down the tunnel involved a minimum of battering, and deposited me on a soft pile of sand in a grand cavern, teaming with Grub People. Vaguely lit by an iridescent fungus clinging to the walls of the massive chamber, these Grub People were much like those in other regions -- white, hairless, and focused on their search for the rich water filled roots that...(READ MORE)

Eyes Without A Face 9/5/2023 11:02pm

Ensign Charmers


I didn't realize that @Claira's little five-legged creature could be such trouble. "What do you call that kind of animal anyway?" I asked. Claira didn't respond, but we were both huffin and puffin chasing that critter around corners and blind alleys. Pretty soon we were quite aways off the promenade, way back behind the High Street. No less busy though. It was like a whole other world. "Weeeeeek! Weeeek weeeeek weeeek weeeek weeeek." There was that ridiculous litt...(READ MORE)

Rose Nomenclature


Mostly, Ocular Space gave me a headache. "Try working with Ocular Space for just a few minutes a day," @Madam Zita said, "then work up to longer periods. Through time your mind will be able to adjust and manifest meaningful psycho-emotional landscapes more easily." I don't generally do "emotional." What I did end up seeing was like a lot of flat shapes. Circles, squares, triangles... different colors, moving around over a kind of grid. "That's a map,&q...(READ MORE)

The Crystal Skull 9/1/2023 6:59pm

Lik McCoy


The guy who owns the Garland Patera doesn’t keep much track of his stock, so it’s easy to walk off with cases of fine wine, cheese, cured meats. Seems fair, considering what he pays me. Then I sell them to the traders who service the settlers and crooks and magicians out in the Madness Zone. Couldn’t pay me to live out there again....(READ MORE)

And I'm the leader! Tough as nails... but if only I knew where I was leading us. But wait! Whasdat uppa head?...(READ MORE)

The Metataxi 8/28/2023 10:09pm

Mrs. Krause


Oh who could it be now? Actually, I'm kidding. Everyone has their time, and my husband and I get to every one, in time. Everyone appreciates a bit of personal service. Which is why it's a dry cleaners -- when there's cultural reference for it. For instance, with the Ne' Breem, no clothes! So instead it's more of spa where they have the silicon barnacles nibbled away. Or the zyyzyyzyyk, inhabiting several superpostions at once, they love reharmonization complexes. For those who know w...(READ MORE)

ol' big balloon 8/26/2023 11:42pm

Flash McCoy


"You just can't do it with less than five. It's gotta be a star," I told the Captain. There wasn't any way out of this mess except telling the Captain everything. He had me to rights, but said he'd let it all slide if we could just call up another pumpkin. "Well then you just get Beans and Mickey and Larissa back here," the Captain said. "And then their parents won't have to get involved either. I suspect they can all make it back by nightfall." I gave it s...(READ MORE)

When you're a third rate mate in the engine room you don't hear much, but the word is we're on the run from some kind of big shot worm cowboy. What'd the captain do, rustle his worms? So the Evergreen is heading off the beaten path, just till things cool off. I'm hoping we make it to a tropical island. I've never been to one, but it was the kind of thing I thought I'd see when I became a merchant airshipman. Seems like I spend most of my time looking at big greasy engines....(READ MORE)
