The worldbuilding gears are turning in my head…

OVER MY DEAD BODY

Gasp!

She’s back! Hide your caps lock keys!

Enough time to read the ship's user manual.
Good there is a printed version, I wonder how much in there is about the shuttles...

That's not the ships user manual...it's in English. Beryl seems a bit weirded out by what she's reading.

Arioch, is the author another cameo of a friend of yours?

Ehhm... That's a classic by William Shakespeare

Translated from the original Klingon, of course.

Pfft, nobody takes their beer shaken.

To be fair, I kind of botched the warp on the cover, so the name is hard to read.

Not used to the Photoshop CC 2020 changes yet. (shakes fist)

I just wanted to make it appear as if there's a WIP you all missed....

Anyway, I found it too good to be left without a comment here on the forums.

Just like the art piece with face mask.

Oh, so that what was this last discussion was all about.

Or are the pilots discussing that Alex must be giving the Hunam version of "Seemannsgarn" (cock-and-bull story, although I've never heard this term before, my favourite online translator gives that term as English translation)...

Well it is almost pronounced the same, "Sea man's yarn" vs "Seemannsgarn"

weirdly enough, LEO did not produce that as translation....

Is cock-and-bull story a widely recognized term in the bigger English speaking countries?

It's approaching archaic/outdated status, but a good chunk of people over 30 or so will recognize that idiom here in the U.S. Don't be surprised if the youngins give you a poleaxed look though.

Thanks.

Other German terms translate to "Hunter's Latin", or "Fisher's Latin", for bonfire exaggerated stories...

Similar English terms are "tall tale," "shaggy dog story" and "fish story." The latter two are also somewhat antiquated, but I think even millenials will recognize "tall tale."

No, I think they know Alex is “hearing” Fireblade.....
