[Video] BUT THEY'RE IN SPACE?!?!?

[have_hat_will_travel]

[Have one video clip of a certain Succubus. Except she's in a weirdly tight space suit-looking number. And no hat. Also, the background looks like some kind of space ship.]

So, um.

If I'm reading that post right, somehow, BadgerNet has caused multiple worlds to become space-fantasy iterations of themselves.

This is kind of giving me, mighty Gadrelite and interplanetary escapee Pidonus Marasia, a bit of an existential crisis, if we're being honestl?

Like, I have this entire thing where I help trick a team of heroes into crushing a space empire led by a crazed dude who styled himself after a demon lord, then after a stint in a completely unrelated dimension, get sent back free from a demon queen's influence and have to steal a ship to get the hell away. You know, classic "minion steals a hilariously junky frigate" type story. Probably I'm not even the only tech-savvy lust demon to go through it.

... What in the Nine Hells would I be if not one? An old-fashioned Succubus? Would a theoretical non-tech-savvy Pidonus even know how to use BadgerNet properly?

[To anyone who is aware of what's going on, it's as easy to check her last posts to make fun of these questions.]

An Accident In Space | Video, via drone (CW: Existential damage, kidnapping/abduction)

[boldlydanforth]

"This," Michael says, in a classic EVA suit, panning the drone around a black expanse, with a station under him, "Is the world's first space port. It's not a secret. You can't really keep something this big in geosynchronous orbit a secret. As for what I'm doing up here, they gave me clearance to be a welder a few days ago, so I'm aiding in construction after a brief crash course in EVA."

Behind him, as he starts working, another light appears on the orbital horizon, briefly, before flickering out. "It's something that requires a lot of visual acuity and hand-eye coordination, because the arc doesn't make as much of a sound, as you can probably tell. But I love being a part of this. I want to be part of the first humans to really go faster than light--"

There is a sudden blur.

Michael is gone.

The drone follows the motion and attempts to accelerate to catch up with the strange pod which now has Michael flattened through its front, collapsed on to a pilot who is obviously not of this world.

The pod grows arms, and catches the drone, and Michael, and the feed cuts off.

The feed cuts back on with someone new? A woman, about 5'9", in a body suit and an iridescent skirt, with green hair with brown fringes. The eyes are of a light green and in perfect focus. The body suit is tight to, and thick enough to stand as protection in a pressure escape situation. "Uh-- Hey everyone. So-- you probably saw the accident. Turns out, extraterrestrial intelligent life, is a thing??? Although I guess that-- that was probably inevitable. We've looked through so little of the sky and we thought we could just, find gravitic engines, I guess. The pilot's fine. Uh-- apparently they hit some space junk and careened, and at that high a speed, well, if it's fast enough to be interesting, it's fast enough to be dangerous. But uh-- their doctors say-- after a brief translation through Badgernet's speech-to-text-- that most of my body got liquefied, and uh-- this is what they did to help."

"I, I'm gonna talk with them about constructing something similar to my original body, once I'm not tripping over myself in this one. I don't know exactly what the issue is, but that's my second priority after physical therapy so I'm sure I haven't lost any motor control. That'd be a death knell for sure, I barely made it with my vision requirements--"

Michael pauses. "Vision... requirements. Oh fuck, how am I going to prove I'm me once I'm back? Uh-- advice, please? Too?"

So apparently there's a space-related hiccup

[badgernet]

We apologize for the inconvenience! We're already working on fixing it. Until then I guess some of you're in space? Whoops!

[This marks the official hiccup start. Feel free to make hiccup-related posts.]
