Providence, the latest booko to receive the horrible brothers treatment! Ok well I read chapter one! Actually i guess it isn't really a chapter, as i see the NEXT chapter is chapter one. So i guess i read THE ENCOUNTER!!$#%@!$%%$ and what an encounter it was! i must say, i don't know what i was expecting, but space trees that huk worm hole bullets WAS NOT IT!@#$@#$ not sure how that start compares with float autopsy towns, but it's up there!@#$ promising start IMO!

i agree! that is definitely on par with autopsy towns that's for sure! pretty cook aliens ol max imagined up there. promising indeed.
also, i would say that the 5 people who contacted these salamanders were not expecting that either!!

pretty cook aliens ol max imagined up there. *the tree aliens bow down* *their wormfilled head cracks open and spills out a pretty cook who whips the crew up a nice fluffly omelet* *everyone gets along* wouldn't appear so, no! they were just all "g'day! come on in an meat teh missus!" *huk splode bigdie* ;pst; we should have brought more zapper sticks to this fight! the next chpta (chapter 1 :B ) appears to be pretty long!@# so might have to post as i go rather than wait til i reads it alls.

yeah, i've read through a good portion of chapter 1. are all the chapters gonna be this long? our 1 a post could be a problem.
<edit> i did finish the chapter 1. so... yeah.
i'll go through from beginning so you can stop before being spoiled. they had a ceremony and got on big ship. small crew for very big ship! they found their first salamanders and had a salamander battle and apparently their big ships are no match for the ol hukers. i think they're learning though. i guess ol gilly is getting bored. that's about as far as i am i think.
now their going to the violet zone. and anders seems a bit nuts!! i guess he's good at other stuff besides being nuts so that's why they picked him.

IT'S THREE MILES LONG! i'm only partway thru chpta 1 but a couple notes: is the fact that this ragtag crew has a "Gilligan CALL ME GILLY" in the crew a bad omen for how this is gonna go? classic gilligan's island spice. ;yesnicker; i guess that's it. i will say, tho i'm not far in obv, i applaud the pace the author is riting with. i thought we wuz gonna get a whole pre launch ceremony thing but he skips ahead to them getting on teh ship instead. me: sweet! ;rubhands;

oh, i better slow down.
let's just say i'm through chapter 2...
so chapter 2 spoiler spice, eh sort of. i don't know. not really i guess.
4 people on a 3 mile spaceship is crazy. also, i was kinda thinking that it doesn't seem like the crew is doing a whole lot. like, when they're at their stations what are they doing?

HAY LETS TOST RAZOR SHARP CHINEEZ STARS AT EACH OTHER!@#$@#$ ;HYPER;;; gilly: :/ ehh... ok i guess ;shrug;; so far i'm not sure that i see what ANY of them are offering the mission! it's like earth made a ship that does everything and thought... well, i mean i guess we should maybe tost a few actual humans in there too? but what will they do? ehh... i dunno tell them they have roles where they just tell the captain their section is green or whatever.

I readed chpta 2 last night, so i will reply to ur chapter two spicey spice: 4 people on a 3 mile spaceship is crazy. also, i was kinda thinking that it doesn't seem like the crew is doing a whole lot. like, when they're at their stations what are they doing? i sort of said the same thing upthread. like chapter 2 is all aboot this psychologist lady (Life officer or whatever) and she's just there to make sure teh crew doesn't go too nuts and kill each other? also seemed like they implied gilly's job didn't actually matter but they don't want gilly to know that. so, do ANY of their jobs matter? i'm thinking the people are included in the mission only so they can send earth the pics and clips and stuff! so then earth is still sort of engaged with the war. if it was non-manned ships... earth would shrug and not want to build more maybe? i dunno. there was also mention of the fact that the ship is basically a giant ai computer writing its own code and humans can't really even understand it. and i gotta say, not sure that bodes well for where this story goes!@# or maybe that's just too many AI gone bad stories floating arounf me haid.

i sort of said the same thing upthread. like chapter 2 is all aboot this psychologist lady (Life officer or whatever) and she's just there to make sure teh crew doesn't go too nuts and kill each other? tht is exactly what her job is. and also to be pretty and make the earth people love her.
i'm thinking the same thing good brother! also yes, keeping teh secrets from gilly. i've read chapter 3 so... yeah, i don't know if this book is going there or not. could be. i do think the ship is gonna do what it wants. hopefully that remains in line with wad the humans want. :dunno:
chapter 3 spoiler stuff: so Gilly knows now. i can't believe how they were keeping it a secret with the fake tasks. i'd be pretty pissed. so i'm a show piece but you weren't going to tell me?!
beanlady: it's cuz you're so smart! we had to! so, eh, if he's smart then you know he's going to figure it out. if you know he's going to figure it out, why even do it? i'm not sure i understand this.

tht is exactly what her job is. and also to be pretty and make the earth people love her. hello earth i'm pretty and work out and have BEANS in my name! :hyper; *looks at thread title* don't know how we do it brother!@# but we do it! the book doesn't SEEM to be trending in the evil AI direction. the ship is pretty good at what it does! *gilly wants it to wait while he examines wriggling salamander fragments for pheromones or something* the ship: HELLO SHIP SELF OF MY GOOD FINE SELF AND SHIP! HOW LONG DO I NEED TO HUMOR THESE YAHOOS!@#$ *leaves area bigtime* SORRY CHPA NO TIME FOR YOUR DUMB HUMAN SHENANIGANS!@# why do all these PIPES keep bursting WTF!@#@# then it turns out, not only are the burst pipes just a fake job to keep him occupied, THERE AREN'T EVEN ANY PIPES!@#@$# well maybe there are pipes, but they aren't bursting! they're just running some VR crap on the facefilm things!@#$ LMAOOOOOO hay there little guy relax, its for ur own good! ;applerub;; now go slice anders open with one of those chinese stars like a good boy. i'd think it would be easier to just hire actors who know their jobs are fake!@# here, you play the part of a nerd systems geek guy. teh croud will lurve u dun worry. actors would sign up for that bigtime!@# oh the whole planet will tune into my sweet clips! SIGN ME UP!@#$ ALSO SHE IS TOTALLY A BEANLADY! ;HYPER;;;;

hello earth i'm pretty and work out and have BEANS in my name! :hyper; *looks at thread title* don't know how we do it brother!@# but we do it!
i see her name is beanfield and i'm like, WHAT?! no. really? beanfield?! alright spacebeans, let's go!
just you wait good brother. this ship has more than meats the eye!
we're done here. we gots to get on to more alien pulsing!! i'm sure Anders could barely contain himself when gilly keeps telling him he's busy! like doing the giantest hugest rolleyes ever over and over.
and gilly was all, i can't figure out why all these pipes keep bursting!@#$ wtf is the problem with this ship!
also, hello gilly!! IT'S BRAND FUCKING NEW!! i guess he thought they spent all their energy on building the AI. but the crap just started breaking immediately. what the hell is this the gremlin of ships!??
i suppose they would. they'd have to be no name actors though. maybe they would suck too much! i'm still a bit taken aback.
SO DID YOU READ CHAPTER 4!?! THE ANSWER IS SPOILERS!@#!
holy crap what a chapter.
HUG THE PIPE!@#
"She felt it coming." "... and she hadn't known it was so big." OMG!! I LUV U SHIP!@#@!
WTF!! this is worse than christopher cockolini and his rockets and dustvages!@#!@# the ship made her orgasm for crying out loud! i have to admit, i didn't see that coming! (PUN BEAN!@!@)

just you wait good brother. this ship has more than meats the eye! the ship likes to meat people! wtf!@#$ i guess that's not evil at least! just ur friendly neighborhood shiptowning. oooh. pulsing did you say? ;leer; well obv it was very realistic pipe bursting! and he WAS thinking it was stupid, it was driving him crazy!@#$ Anders: if you quit trying to fix the nonburst pipes, i'll take you to a pipe that will make ur pipe burst! iykwimaidyd WELL I DID NOW!@#$ ;HYPER;; that's funny! what's odd is this chapter struck YOU super hard as being erotic and for me the other book did! i think my brain was just thinking the ship was going to communicate with them somehow, not just give them huge body tosting orgasms!@!# so is spacebeanfield gonna get pregnant with shipbeans? i have NO IDEA where on earth this story is going. also, it sure seems like Anders is a particularly bad choice for one of these crews. like, spectacularly bad!@@#$ i guess he's super handsome tho, so no worries.

i was all, they're gonna what the what@@ that seems dangerous and also you are going to be ruined for real sex!! i guess it's probably worth it! boy, i hadn't considered this, but maybe!@#!@# that would be awesome!@! :Hyper: yeah, he doesn't seem so great of a choice. i guess the choosers were swooned. :dunno:

:ummm: ol gilly isn't so sold on the pipe love! chapter five read, so spoiler if you hasn't. but it is a good thing gilly wasn't sold on the pipelove!@# if he wasn't at his station for the new attack from the hukkies, they would have been towned bigtime!@# they already kind of are anyway even with gilly saving the day. seemed a little that a ship THAT SMART can't figure out that a cell or processor stack or whatever [computer word] it was went bad without gilly literally having to break it!@#$ BIT OF AN OVERSIGHT!!@# relax guy! we're just gonna hugmeat this giant laser pulse tube jeez! on second thought, maybe he's exactly what the crew needs! no one else would have figured out how to town the ship like he did!@#$ also, a bit more on chapter 5 - i mean we had to know the whole war wouldn't go THIS easy, right? the space trees finally figured out a new way to attack. only took a few million losses or so. :B

i wonder if they ship will be grateful to ol gilly there for saving it.
how could it be bad when it feels this good!! amirite!!?? that's true. this ship is going to be loving this whole crew so much! like now crew has been loved by a ship before!! i was thinking the same thing. if this ship just handily kills all these aliens while anders and beanbag town its laser tubes it would be a pretty strange book!!

well, it's important that i first fully explain what morons you all are!! then i'll give you the important bits! *self town indeed. i am also very much enjoying it. i'm not sure i'm all over its laser pulse tube. i'm eyeing it. i find beanlady to be pretty horrible. her unwillingness to talk about anything was irritating me.
I'M FINE! :talktothehand:
eh, ur supposed to be teh life person!! get it together!
