[Ship's Log, 26th September, Stellar Year 892]Your transport ship, already late in its departure due to congestion around the ports on Ganymede, alerts you to yet another delay. It seems that a cargo ship is emitting a distress signal and the captain of your transport will be diverting your vessel to provide assistance. The other passengers grumble and you feel your own jaw clench – you'll definitely be too late to check in to your hotel now. As the captain approaches the distressed vessel, you glance through the port windows and your stomach lurches. The cargo ship is now clearly in view, and also clearly derelict. Most of its heat shielding is peeling away, there's a terrible gash along the bow, and its airlocks are all conspicuously open. Your captain comes over the intercom to notify you that they'll be docking soon, and that's when the power goes out.At least nothing bad ever happens when you visit abandoned ships deep in outer space.This month, Sara and Runa read through Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog (2025), a game styled after classic PC-98 Adventure games and Visual Novels. You begin as most Adventure games of the era began, by entering your character's name and then selecting your pronouns. Then you're immediately dropped into the trauma of a high stakes interstellar battle, helpless as your comrades are all shot down around you while you can only hear their voices through your radio. The story cuts forward then to the present setting as your protagonist sets foot on their newly assigned vessel: The Jovian Fleet Ship Gun-Dog. Aboard the Gun-Dog you quickly meet your protagonist's girlfriend (as well as the ship's second-in-command), Cassie. Cassie is bright and bubbly and happy to see you as you make your rounds as the Gun-Dog's new security officer, meeting the other eccentric crew members and familiarizing yourself with the mission at hand. According to Captain Merys Bartermews, you'll be accompanying the JFS O'Brien in an investigation of a mysterious signal at the edges of known space. Despite clashing with the pilots of the ship's Armored Frames, you report a completely normal patrol to the captain and prepare for rendezvous with the O'Brien. That's when the power goes out, Cassie collapses, and your communications with the O'Brien are cut off entirely. From there you confront the protagonist's traumatic past, a terrifying mystery, possible mutiny, and your own girlfriend's secrets. Normal things, at least on the edge of known space.

Gundog (Replay) ** Previously Aired ** Star Wars: Rogue One Screenwriter, author, and the inventor of the Batcomputer at Home kit, Gary Whitta, joins us this week to discuss his new book, Gundog. (Amazon link - https://amzn.to/3Zy85PS) We also discussed his work on the screenwriting of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and the Book of Eli, not to mention his very popular YouTube show, Animal Talking, which came out during COVID-19. It was based on the popular game Animal Crossing at the time. We joke with Gary about his home computer setup, which resembles Batman's Batcave starter kit.

"Figure out what your gun likes ..." one of the best pieces of advice you'll ever get from shotgun guru and Gun Dog magazine writer Brad Fitzpatrick. He's authored the shotgun column in the magazine for years, and has the enviable job of test-shooting everything new and classic in the shotgun world. Brad is a bird hunter, TV host, author of five books and countless articles, and he's here to share his insights on everything from technology and materials to the care and feeding of your shotgun. We'll get schooled on the differences between "value" guns and high end firearms, what to look for in fit, finish, engineering and design. Brad shares some of the more innovative materials and designs he's tested recently, and shares experiences bird hunting in southern Africa. He tells us how he tried (and failed) to destroy the finish on one shotgun, and offers tips on storing, shooting, and carrying our firearms n the field. We talk about the merits of a 3-inch 28-gauge gun, and his own choice for the ideal field gun - and why. "Road Trip" acknowledges some of the lesser-known public-access providers, and I discuss why only one-third of you train with a partner or group ... and why you might want to reconsider that!

Sometimes as a dog handler, we get caught up in blaming the dog when we run into struggles and we don't look at the bigger picture. Pro dog trainer Josh Miller sits down with his wife, Whitney Miller and discusses some observations he has made in recent training sessions. They also dive into the dog bowl to answer some questions sent in. www.eukanubasportingdog.com www.riverstonekennels.com www.retrieverroadmap.com

Dr. Joe Spoo (aka: Gun Dog Doc) joins the show to discuss his new Gun Dog Field Emergency & First Aid online course. Joe explains why he developed the course, what dog owners will learn, how and when to treat dogs in the field, tools to keep at the truck and tools to bring in the field, how to read your dog for signs of stresses, when to act and when to call for help, and why it's important to be prepared in the field. We also discuss common injuries, diseases, genetics and changes that Joe has witnessed in the past 20-plus years of caring for sporting dog breeds.
