MY SF ONLINE

The SCIENCE FICTION stories combine fun and adventure as a trio of space traders hyper round the two galaxies and then head off to the third.

Tales From The Third Moon: Stuck on the third moon of Pkqwrd waiting for his ship to be re-blobbed, the xathpyroid BrTl meets a friendly Thwurbullerian affine who encourages the beings they encounter to tell stories to while the time away. There are folk tales, hunting ballads, ancient legends, romances, adventure stories… As the series of travellers’ tales proceeds, the audience finds aspects of them oddly familiar. Perhaps, as Philosopher P’ll Vt Mgly-w’llah of Whtyll once remarked, “There is nothing new in the Known Universe,” after all. As for how true they might be… The female mammalian humanoid, Dohra, tells an exciting romantic adventure about her mission to Gr’mmeaya disguised as a candidate for the ruler’s hareem, but did any of it really happen? BrTl’s Captain, Jhl Smt Wong, a humanoid, is off on a Wavey-Spacey secondment to a diplo junket. If only she’d hurry up and get here, maybe she could sort out fact from fiction! Not to say, with her mind-powers, stop that plasmo-blasted Thwurbullerian in its tracks before something disastrous happens!

Two Galaxies Lost Cause: The space traders’ mission to Old Rthfrdia for Fleet Commander Shank’yar Vt R’aam rapidly begins to feel like a Lost Cause, as Captain Jhl Smt Wong, having traversed the x’nb web and World Shield while comatose under the influence of klupf, sinks into the personality of a Playfair Pleasure Girl. Meanwhile her trusty ship-companions, the xathpyroid BrTl and the it-being Trff, unable to join her until Old Rthfrdia’s official F-Day celebrations begin, realise uneasily that she’s fallen for one, or maybe both, of the chief mammalian humanoid protagonists she meets on the primmo dump… Then there’s the complication of the pwld muck. Are their jobs as space traders—along with the rest of the intergalactic freight haulage industry—about to vanish? And is Jhl’s personality going to be permanently altered by the combined effects of the pleasuring-blob and the klupf? As complication piles on complication and Jhl becomes immersed in the humanoid problems on Old Rthfrdia, BrTl begins to suspect that maybe this is the devious Fleet Commander’s ultimate goal… 

The Admirable Clone: It’s over 30 IG years since the two galaxies’ Expedition Fleet took off for the Third Galaxy. Intergalactic travel has now vastly improved and the trip’s been reduced from 20 IG years to just over 3 IG months in the special ships called “PBTTs”. Tourists can now travel back and forth. So Su Vt R’aam, Shank’yar’s and Jhl’s youngest child, sets off for the two galaxies, accompanied by the household’s most responsible servant, Clone Vt R’aam Thirty-Two. Su’s adventures and misadventures on the very varied worlds of the two galaxies combine with an edgy tale of failing blob technology, as it begins to look as if this is the end of intergalactic society as sentient beings know it.

    As the youngest Vt R’aam child, with her mother now middle-aged and her father elderly but still spry, Su is pretty much the pet of the household, and so when trouble arises Jhl’s old ship-companions BrTl and Trff immediately get involved. In fact, if Trff hadn’t got involved— Well, read on!
