Oddities

CAPTAIN'S LOG: we're away, safe in slipspace. but before we left, there was something odd. it was another Contingency-class Prowler, unstealthed in low orbit. Prowlers are specialized vehicles: usually there's only one of each class. For example, the Last Gleaming is the only example of a Gleaming-class Prowler, the Apocalypso is the only Apocalypse-class Prowler. Athena said it's name is the Fateful Contingency. The fact that it's the same shape and has a similar name proves the unlikely: it is in fact a second Contingency-class Prowler. I think it's him, shadowing me in the darkness. What he plans to do, I have no idea. Anyway, Athena is pestering me to get some cryo sleep, so I only age as fast as I need to. Artificial Intelligence or not, she's right; I guess it's the freezers for me....soon I'll get see whether or not it was worth putting ninety men and women in the line of fire to inspect a space-borne ball of glass for survivors....
