A new piece for the Straight on 'Til Morning canon.

Meet the FSF Delivery. There are some interesting adventures in store for this unique little ship, so keep your eyes glued to your vidscreens!

Thanks to Cimmerian and Pincier for helping me flesh this out and edit it.

The FSF Delivery insignia was made by the swashbuckling Nat Deis. Check out more of her art at her website: http://natdeis.weebly.com/

So… Do you know the artist personally and asked for a thing, or is it that she likes SCP stuff and made a thing which you then used (presumably with permission)?

Either way, cool overall thing.

Zolgamax 19 Mar 2015 23:54

I know the artist personally and asked her to make the image for the purpose of using it in this piece. Same deal with the image from Where Bad Children Go, which is also her work.

Cool.

I struggle whether or not to upvote because, while it is neat, there's not much in the way of story or something for me to latch onto and care about. You do have a lot of detail put into it (without it being boring), and the Dispatch Timeline was adequate enough in terms of emotional latch, but this isn't gonna be something I'd upvote on its own.

I detect Freespace references

Zolgamax 19 Mar 2015 22:03

None of them are intentional on my part, as I'm not really a fan (yet, anyway - it looks pretty neat).

It's either a coincidence, or something Cimmerian or Pincier sneakily convinced me to insert. Those wacky sci-fi fans.

Guilliman 19 Mar 2015 23:08

Subach-Innes? That's a Freespace weapons manufacturer in-universe.

Zolgamax 19 Mar 2015 23:22

Ah, that's one of the things established on the SOTM hub page prior to the creation of this dossier, so you can thank one of the other two guys for that.

Von Pincier 19 Mar 2015 23:41

You are absolutely correct and it was absolutely intentional.

_{The phrase "oh my god, it's the Lucifer" may or may not feature heavily in a later tale.}

I think this may be a minor error but I'm not entirely sure as it may just be referencing a different trip and I'm being silly. The trip to Nemesis is labeled Res-0051 but the notes say "For more information regarding Res-0101…"

Zolgamax 20 Mar 2015 03:26

Aha! Good catch. Fixed it, thanks.

"Command, with the authority of my double-major B.A. In Psychology and Creative Communications Philosophy, I propose that me and my crew dress up like pirates."

"That's stupid. Denied."

"Command, my crew are all on the verge of snapping anyway. Recommend we dress up like pirates."

"… Granted."

+1

Edit: The only downside upon further consideration is that you don't have a cool ship diagram for an article explicitly about a single ship.

Funny you should mention that…

Rendering/compositing by yours truly, with consultation and final design approval from Zolgamax.

FSF Delivery schematics are a part of this balanced breakfast.

Dr Reach 30 Mar 2015 22:31

Yes? Yes.

Yes, indeed. +1

I barely got around to finishing this, and…

Foundation Space Pirates. With lightsabers.

Guys how is this not the highest-rated thing on the internet jesus.

Freaking Showmen with their interstellar freaking origami. Take the upvote. Just take it.

1822 is essentially statistical probability being altered for an individuals favor. So how does a foundation bargain for FTL from something like that?
