Stardate -315518.2

Captain's blog. Supplemental.

The ship has been stranded in cyberspace for months. Transmissions have failed. Hailing frequencies have been opened, but there is no response from the crew. If there is a crew. We cannot yet tell whether they have abandoned ship. Fortunately, the USS Private Conversation rests safely in the Neutral Zone. Exploration is possible. An Away Team is being dispatched.

Suddenly, a noise from the computer:

"Hello, Swindon, I am here. Swindon, can you hear me?"

Swindon, a knackered kind of Fresno town.

"I don't think we're quite at the Moon yet, but I can see right over the top of the houses! Fantastic!"

A man in a track suit can be seen up a ladder.

Well, what the hell do you expect after several months' absence?!?

Yes, hello Swindon, I am here. Back from the Neutral Zone and reporting for duty upon the USS Private Conversation. You are correct: that is a new title for the blog. I rather appreciate the irony.

Much has transpired since our last little fireside chats. I hope you'll join me as the USS Private Conversation once again explores the Blogosphere. On its continuing mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilization, and to boldly go where no blog has gone... in the last five minutes.

Cue music.
