Test, test... come in @Captain Jack Fenris. @Strange Katz. Anybody there?

I don't think anybody can hear us on this frequency. Because they don't have radios here! Or cell phones. Or microwave ovens.

The Moonbeam was underway for, well, days now. I lost track. But I'm holed up in a broom closet and there isn't a porthole, and I haven't been able to sneak out on account of the especially smelly soldiers who have taken the ship over.

But the ship came to a halt, and they've seemed to disembarked.

If you're on the ship--and not captured and thrown in some dungeon somewhere--it seems like to coast is clear.

I'm leaving the broom closet to explore the ship an see where we are...

Psssst hey everybody. I have to whisper because I'm hiding the in the midshipman's broom closet. Actually, in the secret compartment in the midshipman's broom closet where he keeps his secret stuff. Did you know about this? Wow he's really got some stuff in here.

Anyway there were just too many of those very large and smelly soldiers boarding the ship so I hid. I am making my log post via personal assistant locket. Just like I gave you all in your gift bags at my last birthday.

Is there anyone there? I know they took @Spaz Skunk off the ship. In chains. That's when I hid! I mean, there was no way I could take them on. I'm just a radio operator! And they have armor. Or robes or something. And they don't take baths.

Oooo. I feel the ship moving. Can you feel that? They're taking the Moonbeam.

@Captain Jack Fenris are you receiving??!!!

The appearance of the Moonbeam at this busy bronze-age port caused less attention than you might think. Many of the ships are far more beautiful to look at than the Moonbeam. Not that the Moonbeam isn't a handsome ship, but these boats can be ornate, with so much color, dyed sails, and multiple tier construction--spiny with oars and rigging. A few of them look like they could take off flying on their own.

But the lack of interest seems like it's something more. Like they've seen the same kind of thing before. But I really don't remember anything in airship history class going back this far.

Sure wish we could speak the language. But that hasn't prevented us for trading various knickknacks on board for food to the local street vendors.

@Captain Jack Fenris! Sir! Temporal distortions are returning! And it's whipping up quite a dust storm. You can see the ruins of some ancient city below, rising up from the sands off the larboard bow. And First Mate @Strange Katz is making a strange mewling noise!

Come quickly, Captain! You're needed on the bridge!!!

@Captain Jack Fenris! Sir! Temporal plasma cooling around us now. We are in-atmosphere... and it's still Earth, sir. Or at least "an earth." Retcon adjusted for temporal redshift at 0.05. So, a close enough branch down the pike.

The year appears to be roughly 2007. The Black Parade still charting well. And we appear to be over north Africa. Egypt, coincidentally enough, sir.

I'm picking up a transmission from another ship. Identifying itself as The Rapture, with Captain @that_name_isnt_taken. They are reporting a temporal misplacement as well, Captain. Temporal residue on the Rapture indicates they're from 2019, shortly before The Confusion in their timeline.

Our darkTech should keep us off anyone's radar, sir. Keeping our distance till we asses.

Time disruption erupting all around us, @Captain Jack Fenris! The WonderFly9000 is the source--we're under a barrage from some kind of temporal weapon. We're starting to slip...

And we're being hailed! Someone identifying themselves as @HRH Chons sends their regards? 

The message reads "Welcome to eternity..."

Oh no here comes a swell... brace for it...

Aaaaiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Ah, yes, of course, the Wonderfly9000. But it doesn’t look like it does in the Zephyr Air Transport Airship Identification Guide. Instead It’s got a great big figurehead on the front. Looks like a woman with the wings of a vulture, holding an ankh, and two big tubes coming out of her head. Smokestacks? Oh and there’s quite a bit of radiation coming out of the ship. 

Would you like us to come along side, Captain Jack, or should we try and raise Captain @Worded first? Still picking up the mummified cat readings. It looks like they're chasing a ball of radioactive yarn.

Aye, Captain Fenris! I'm picking up a strange reading on the Psycho-Interculator thingy. That's the big glass ball here in the corner of the bridge that looks like it's full of smoke and spotlights? Anyway, I know we haven't left port yet so I'm getting to know the equipment, and, uh, the P.I. seems to be saying there's clowder of cat mummies recently reanimated on the Moonbeam, under the command of a certain captain @Worded, not too many standard solar-miles from here. Not a distress signal, per se, just, you know, a mummified cat alert.

Is that a regular thing? To get mummified cat alerts?

Anyway, Communications Lt. Officer First Class Harry Otter, reporting.
