Clive Langer in conversation with David Eastaugh https://newclang.bandcamp.com/album/new-clang Best known as one of the UK's most successful record producers with a string of high-profile credits in his portfolio, CLIVE LANGER returns in the new year with a second album from his band project, THE CLANG GROUP.A belated follow-up to 2016's Practice, the Group's maiden outing for Domino Records, New Clang was recorded with Deaf School co-conspirators John Wood (aka Max Ripple) and Gregg Braden, along with former Klaxons bassist Jamie Reynolds. Written and recorded in the aftermath of Clive's 70th birthday, New Clang is adeeply personal but incredibly vibrant album; catching Clive in reflective mode, the songs address the process of ageing and the state of the world,as well as confronting his own addiction to alcohol.“ After the pandemic, the dust settled, it felt like it was time, a new time, to play again,” he explains. “Not to revisit but to write and rehearse with my Clang Group mates. We were missing a bass player and fortuitously I met Jamie Reynolds and he filled the vacancy. The songs started to flow, we were back in the groove!”“The new album is the first sober songwriting I think I've done in almost 50 years,” he adds. “I've known and accepted that I was an addict for decades... I just didn't do anything about it. I thought I could live with it, I still enjoyed it. Someone once asked me ‘What do you do?' I replied ‘I drink'. Anyway, making an album sober was like making an album drunk except I wassober!!” Packaged in spare black-on-white, suggesting a tabula rasaof sorts, New Clang's distinctive sleeve artis the work of British artist Edwin Burdis, whom Clive met during his time with Domino Records. “Clive asked me to a studio in London to listen to his new album, still a work in progress,” recalls Edwin. “I was struck by the contrast between the upbeat music and its underlying melancholy, evoking clowns and cartoon characters and a nostalgia for London's recent past. At the time, I had been drawing simple cartoon motifs that aligned perfectly with Clive's songs. I wanted the campaign to be cohesive—black-and-white graphics that blend humour with a sense of tragedy and sadness.” A founder member of pioneering Liverpool art-rockers Deaf School, Langer is noted for a string of production credits (usually in collaboration with Alan Winstanley) on hits forthe likes of Dexys Midnight Runners (the no.1 single and album ‘Come On Eileen' and Too-Rye-Ay)andDavid Bowie(‘Absolute Beginners') plus numerous landmark releasesfor Elvis Costello, Madness, Morrissey, The Teardrop Explodes, China Crisis, Bush, They Might Be Giants, The Rockingbirds and, more recently, Fat White Family.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Leagues Cup, Canadian national team and Olympics chat, and we're joined once again this week by Harjeet Johal to talk about it all. The Canadian women's national team's defence of their Olympic gold came to an end at the hands of Germany last week. We look at their fighting spirit on the pitch after a tumultuous two weeks off it, and ask what's next for the team and everyone involved? We also look at the men's Olympic football and Canada's failure to make it to the games since 1984. What's wrong with the youth program here in the country, especially after the men's U20s missed out on next year's World Cup? Turning our attention to the club game, Vancouver Whitecaps saw off LAFC and Tijuana to top their Leagues Cup group and set up a clash with Mexican giants Pumas. We look at the matches, the highs and the lows coming out of them, and chat with Belal Halbouni, Levonte Johnson, and Fafa Picault about what cup competitions mean to them. Plus we chat with 'Caps head coach Vanni Sartini about what he's learned as a coach playing against Mexican opposition and learn how he'd like the Leagues Cup to expand beyond the current month it's played out over. And there's still time to look back at this weekend's two League1 BC championship matches, chat with Whitecaps Girls head coach Katie Collar and captain Brianne Reed, talk with TSS Rovers men's head coach Brendan Teeling and history-making defender Nik White, and look at the latest action around the Canadian Premier League. Plus English new-rave band The Klaxons feature as our new Album of the Month. Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode: 02.17: Intro 04.00: Canada's Olympic title defence is over 19.00: What's next for the Canadian women's national team? 26.12: The spying scandal drones on 47.40: Men's Olympic football - should Canada prioritise it more? 62.05: Canada U20s fail to make the World Cup - how do we fix the system? 78.38: More known about Vancouver's 2026 World Cup games 82.40: Whitecaps top Leagues Cup group 100.33: Whitecaps players excited for cup football 105.47: Vanni on facing Mexican opposition and expanding the Leagues Cup 118.20: This Week in Whitecapsland 1974 128.15: Whitecaps Girls Elite do the L1BC three-peat 133.17: Katie Collar interview 137.25: Brianne Reed interview 143.03: TSS Rovers make history with L1BC double 146.30: Brendan Teeling interview 148.40: Nik White interview 153.00: Wavelength - Baron Nichts - Soccer 159.51: CPL chat

Danger Sound Klaxon!:The Horn That Changed History (University of Virginia Press, 2023) reveals the untold story of the Klaxon automobile horn, one of the first great electrical consumer technologies of the twentieth century. Although its metallic shriek at first shocked pedestrians, savvy advertising strategies convinced consumers across the United States and western Europe to adopt the shrill Klaxon horn as the safest signaling technology available in the 1910s. The widespread use of Klaxons in the trenches of World War I, however, transformed how veterans heard this car horn, and its traumatic association with gas attacks ultimately doomed this once ubiquitous consumer technology. By charting the meteoric rise and eventual fall of the Klaxon, Dr. Matthew Jordan highlights how perceptions of sound-producing technologies are guided by, manipulated, and transformed through advertising strategies, public debate, consumer reactions, and governmental regulations. Jordan demonstrates in this fascinating history how consumers are led toward technological solutions for problems themselves created by technology. Dr. Jordan also directs the News Literacy Initiative, including co-hosting its podcast News Over Noise. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Podcast Overview: Will & Todd discuss cliques in the music industry, exploring as an artist vs the pressure of being successful, the power of social media & the role of promoters in gigs plus much more. Who Is Todd Edwards: Todd Edwards is a house and garage veteran whose signature productions have lit up dancefloors for decades, and whose collaborations with Daft Punk sit in the record collections of millions. Edwards' music has been recognized as a major influence on the nascent UK Garage genre in the United Kingdom in the mid 1990s. He became known for his intensive sampling and remixing technique that involves “cross-hatching brief snatches of vocals into a melodic-percussive honeycomb of blissful hiccups” as described by critic Simon Reynolds. Used both on his solo albums and on his remixes for other artists, this complex vocal sampling technique in some cases renders the original track almost unrecognizable. With remixes numbering in the hundreds, some of the artists Edwards has remixed include Wildchild, St. Germain, Benjamin Diamond, Justice, Klaxons and Dimitri From Paris. Edwards co-produced and performed vocals on the Daft Punk song “Face to Face” from the album Discovery and he worked again with them, co-writing, co-producing and contributing vocals to the song, “Fragments Of Time” from their 2013 album Random Access Memories, for which he won a Grammy.

THIS WEEK:The Warriors of Light have the defeated the daemon nestled deep within the pinnacle of Avarice.  A brief respite from combat allows our heroes to catch their breath and reassess the situation before proceeding forward.  But more lethal threats yet await the group within the lair of the Runelord of Greed.  They will need to keep their senses about them and their heads on a swivel to keep a step ahead of the forces of evil.  And would somebody shut off those alarms already?!Aristotle brought the incense.  Hugo plans to renovate.  Reetin is there also.  Vrasken banishes.  Clinton desperately tries to time-out the parties buffs.  He also does this thing where he punishes Alex for being in the process of making a decision, and then makes a ruling specifically to be in disagreement with a player.  This is real shitty behavior and I regret not calling him on the spot for it.  Don't let your DMs be jerks, players!

Amelia Bayler (nu-rave snack food expert, stand-up comedian and pop-star in her own right) comes on the podcast to discuss the dance-rock opus MYTHS OF THE NEAR FUTURE by KLAXONS. Named after a collection of short stories by sci-fi futurist J.G. Ballard, this record won the Mercury Music Prize with its winning blend of rave music and time-travelling lyricism that blew Klaxons up, leading to such feats as being on the soundtrack to Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for the Playstation 3.  This week Christopher Macarthur-Boyd, Liam Withnail and Amelia Bayler listened to it and now they're going to talk about it. They shot on everything from Ministry of Sound to Skins parties and the evolution of indie's relationship to dance music. All that plus Tattoo Woohoo/Tattoo Boohoo, Unhinged YouTube Comment of the Week and, as always, Secret Posho. Enjoy! ******************** Check out the Patreon!

EXPERTS CHRISTOPHE BARBIER Éditorialiste politique Conseiller de la rédaction - « Franc-Tireur » MARC LOMAZZI Journaliste Auteur de « France 2050 - Le scénario noir du climat » ESTHER CRAUSER-DELBOURG Économiste - Spécialiste des questions de ressources en eau SOAZIG QUÉMÉNER Rédactrice en chef du service politique - « Marianne » C'était son premier déplacement en région depuis plus de deux mois. Emmanuel Macron s'est rendu ce jeudi à Savines-le-Lac dans les Hautes-Alpes, dans un contexte social très tendu, pour présenter son plan de gestion de l'eau à court et plus long termes face au réchauffement climatique. Le chef de l'Etat qui veut tourner la page des retraites s'est déplacé sous bonne escorte dans ce village des Hautes-Alpes où des dizaines de manifestants l'attendaient. Klaxons, appels à la démission et au retrait de la réforme… Syndicalistes et habitants de la commune ont réservé un accueil tout particulier au convoi du chef de l'Etat qui les a soigneusement évités pour rejoindre le lac de Serre-Ponçon. A peine arrivé, le président de la République s'est exprimé sur la crise sociale mais reste inflexible. "Il y a une contestation sociale qui existe sur une réforme mais cela ne veut pas dire que tout doit s'arrêter". Il est "normal" que des manifestants soient présents en marge de ce déplacement. "Il y a des équipes qui sont là, le dialogue se poursuit", a-t-il dit, ajoutant qu'il était là "aujourd'hui pour parler d'un sujet essentiel" concernant "l'eau et la sécheresse". Comment partager l'eau quand on en a moins ? Alors que le pays est touché par une sécheresse inédite, que l'Onu et le Giec prédisent une crise imminente de l'accès à l'eau, et que la Cour européenne des droits de l'Homme (CEDH) a commencé hier à examiner une requête pour "inaction climatique" visant la France, le chef de l'Etat a présenté son plan. Cinquante mesures pour passer l'été et les années à venir visant notamment à recycler davantage les eaux usées. Emmanuel Macron veut passer à 10 % de réutilisation des eaux usées en France d'ici 2030, contre 1 % actuellement. Loin derrière nos voisins européens, et notamment l'Espagne qui en recycle déjà 14 %. Le président veut dans le même temps 10 % d'économies d'eau dans tous les secteurs. Un "plan de sobriété sur l'eau" va être également demandé "à chaque secteur" d'"ici à l'été" pour faire face à la sécheresse et un outil de mesure similaire à celui de l'énergie, l'écowatt de l'eau, va être mis en place. Le chef de l'Etat a indiqué redouter "des situations de grand stress l'été prochain" dans certaines communes alors que déjà 15départements sont actuellement en vigilance, alerte ou alerte renforcée sécheresse, en totalité ou partiellement, et que six d'entre eux ont déjà pris des mesures de restriction d'eau. Une situation qui pousse aussi les maires de plusieurs communes notamment dans le Var à interdire la construction de nouvelles piscines et parfois même de stopper net tout nouveau projet d'habitation. Pour pousser les Français à la sobriété, Emmanuel Macron a aussi dit souhaiter qu'une "tarification progressive" de l'eau, déjà en place dans certaines villes comme à Montpellier, soit "généralisée en France". En clair : plus vous utilisez de l'eau, plus vous payez. Le chef de l'Etat a par ailleurs plaidé pour la création d'un "fonds pour l'hydraulique agricole" et l'accélération des projets notamment des bassines : "Il faut certains endroits avec de nouveaux ouvrages et pour cela il faut un cadre clair. Il ne s'agit pas de privatiser l'eau ou permettre à certains de se l'accaparer. La règle, c'est le partage entre les différents usages, agricoles et touristiques", a assuré Emmanuel Macron. Il faudra que les nouvelles retenues "soient conditionnées à des changements de pratique significatives et individualisées avec des économies d'eau et la réduction de l'utilisation des pesticides", a ensuite indiqué le président alors que la bataille contre les mégabassines s'intensifie dans le pays. De violents affrontements entre militants et forces de l'ordre ont eu lieu le week-end dernier à Sainte-Soline dans les Deux-Sèvres lors d'une manifestation contre le projet de construction d'un de ces réservoirs de plusieurs hectares destinés aux agriculteurs. Alors quel est plan d'Emmanuel Macron pour améliorer la gestion de l'eau en France ? A quoi doit-on s'attendre cet été et les années à venir ? Les évènements de Sainte-Soline sont-ils un avant-goût de nombreux autres conflits à venir ? Comment distribuer et répartir l'eau quand elle se fait plus rare ?

In deze aflevering vertelt Jan over Burt Blanca, de Belgische Elvis Presley. Hij maakte in de jaren '80 per ongeluk een liedje door inspiratie te halen uit een kapotte drumcomputer. Dat liedje werd een hit in meer dan 15 landen!

Whitney Cummings stops by to discuss her upcoming movie "Cavalcade" and all things ionic. Plus, we hear about Wales' eccentric baby-sitters and the origin of Klaxons.

“It's not over, not over, not over, not over yet.” Now we don't know whether Europop banger merchant Grace, and later New Rave funsters Klaxons, were looking into the future to give an insight into Saints season going into the Big cinchy Play-Offs, but they certainly were on the money. I mean, it would have been nice if we were one of the ten teams for which it was over, but at least we're not Dundee, so buckle up for the latest Saints Rodeo, and join Sam and Dan for Episode 58 of The Dogger Saints Podcast! We have all the skinny from the two games in the past week, as Saints secured their play-off spot with victory over Aberdeen, before Sunday's “thank Christ thy was a dead rubber” visit to Easter Road. You can't stop the Saints from picking up silverware, and we are absolutely delighted to be joined by Scotland Youth Cup winning goalkeeper, and penalty hero of Sunday's final, young Kyle Thomson as he gives us all the lowdown on Sunday's victory over Motherwell, life in the academy and anything and everything about his teammates. Who here likes a feature? We do, so we're going to bring you a couple! We have the long awaited return of Saints Stories which sees us divided on the subject of “borrowing” from the club, your boys here display some handsome hero worship in this weeks trip to The Royal, and we visit leafy West London for this weeks Club Shop of Shame. Dan vs London! Sightseeing with Sam Miller! Natalie Imbruglia in Broughty Ferry! We somehow have it all, and much more, including a big look forward to our trip to Inverness and the big play-off double dunter. Get yourselves comfy, and have a damn good time with the boys. Get there!

Popworld provocateur-turned-filmmaker, Simon Amstell, joins us on the Curzon Film Podcast this week, to talk about his romantic comedy, Benjamin, but first we get right to the pointe of Lukas Dhont's ballet drama, Girl.Still only in his twenties, Belgian writer-director Lukas Dhont has already made a name for himself with his impressive, tender and controversial debut film. Girl tells the story of Lara (Victor Polster), a determined 15-year-old, committed to becoming a professional ballerina after starting at a new school. Having been born a boy, she faces a world that questions her gender and selfhood, while also also taking on the intense physical demands of a dancer's life.The film has been landed and criticised in near equal measure, the winner of multiple awards, challenged for its treatment of the transgender experience. After Girl, we then sit down with Simon Amstell, once a highly skilled troublemaker, now a talented filmmaker.Amstell's Benjamin is a bittersweet comedy about a rising star filmmaker (that's Benjamin, played by (Colin Morgan) who is thrown into emotional turmoil on the brink of premiering his second film, when Billie, his hard partying publicist, introduces him to a mesmeric French musician called Noah. Set among the back streets of East and North London - and partly filmed in our very own Curzon Soho - the film boasts original music from James Righton of the Klaxons and great performances from its young cast including Colin Morgan, Phénix Brossard, Joel Fry, Jack Rowan and Jessica Raine.Discussing the films this week are Sam Howlett, Jake Cunningham, Ella Kemp and Caitlin Quinlan.Follow the team on Social Media:@jakehcunningham - Jake@efe_kemp - Ella@SamHowlett_1 - Sam@csaquinlan - CaitlinProduced by Jake CunninghamEdited by Mark Towers Hosted on Acast.

The date is December 29th, 1484. I've been an operator for T.K.I. for eight wake-years. For the last three, I've run internetwork shipping lanes through colonial systems. Primarily towing petroleum barges and the like. My operational record and qualifications aside, I've passed every single quarterly C.T. scan, amyloid screening, and telomere checkup with flying colors. So let there be no doubt whatsoever that I am of sound mind, regardless of what you may think after hearing this report. --- I was on a wake cycle returning from Chiron. I'd already checked all the Trident's operational systems. It was nearly time to go back on ice when we picked up the signal. By "we" I mean me... And my ship. Long-range scanners detected an A.S.O.S - automated distress beacon. Per Network contract, I was obligated to respond under penalty of forfeit. --- When you pick up any sort of distress call, the system is designed to make sure you know. They say it's because the company "values every human life," but we all know the odds of live rescue out here in the black. --- The alarm came out of nowhere. I was doing last-minute spot checks on my crasket -- cryogenic sleeping pod -- when all of a sudden there's this odd... rumbling sensation in my chest. The cabin goes black. Emergency lights come on. Klaxons ringing in my ears. And it startles me so bad I bust my head on a railing. I climb over to the nearest terminal. It's flashing an all-hands bulletin. "S.O.S. detected. Procedural intercept in progress." That rumbling I felt was the inertial dampers straining against the main engines. The Trident was already en-route to answer the call. --- When I got to the bridge, I disabled the alarm and checked the sit-rep. Depending how far off this thing was, I might've had to go back into cryo for several weeks before we even reached it. I couldn't believe it when I saw that we only had six hours until intercept. Six hours. Something that close would be well-inside visual range. Do you know what the odds are? Astronomical is... an understatement. --- The Trident had a periscope. I never used it. I forgot it was even there. But, apparently when the Salvage Protocols kick in, the periscope automatically deploys and orients straight to the source. I could barely make out the object, even at full zoom. A pale fleck drifting against the endless void. An escape pod. Not much more than a crasket. --- The rendezvous would be done by remote. A repair drone would deploy, fly out to the pod, then guide it straight into the Trident's path as we fly by. That way we don't waste any fuel trying to match its velocity. --- I consulted the Protocol Binder and refreshed myself on the recovery procedures. First, the recovered article -- in this case an escape pod -- must be checked for known contaminants. Radiation, toxic materials, and biological hazards. Then the interior of the pod would be slowly warmed up to room temperature. This allows any hidden or dormant biological contaminants to show themselves. If the pod is clear, recovery begins. If the pod is contaminated, we push it out to a safe distance and neutralize it with an asymmetric nuclear charge. --- A little after eighteen hundred hours, the repair drone successfully docked the pod to the Trident. --- I couldn't find any record of the pod's serial number in the T.K.I. database. But, there was a name painted on the side of the power-cell. "Rode Kruis." Whatever it as, it wasn't commercial. --- Dimensions of the pod were about 25 cubic meters. Most of the bulk was taken up by the power cell. Bio scans showed one living creature. A person. This meant the chances of a valuable recovery were slim. It also meant I'd be sharing my life support, water, and nutrients with another person for the foreseeable future. --- Halfway through the scan, the Trident detected a foreign biological substance on the pod. It appeared to be contained to a small area. Something no bigger than a suitcase. Just as I was about to turn the key to terminate the recovery, the system disabled my access. Locked me out. Apparently, it didn't see the foreign bio-mat as a threat. I was... Unimpressed with that assessment. --- The Trident's medical systems took over control of the pod and began a thorough checkup of its inhabitant. Whatever it was the sensors picked up on that pod, I didn't trust it, and I needed to ensure the safety of both myself and my cargo. --- Locked out of the recovery system, I could attempt to bypass it and force the Trident to undock the pod. But even if I succeeded, I could lose my license. However, as captain of the Trident, I had the power to arrest and interrogate any individuals which present a reasonable threat to myself, my crew, or company assets. Therefore, acting within my full rights as a contractor for T.K.I. under the laws and jurisdiction of the Colonial Alliance, I pursued the only course of action available to me. I woke them up. --- From the medical bay, I was able to access the crasket controls and perform an emergency override. A face appeared on the tiny monitor. A woman, barely in her twenties. As she came out of cryo-sleep, her breath began to fog the glass lid of the crasket. I switched on the intercom and went to pour myself some coffee while I waited for her to come to. --- As I returned, I could hear her voice, calling out for help. Coffee in hand, I pressed the talk button and told her it was alright, that she had been rescued. She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled into the camera. Then she asked if I could come let her out of the crasket. I told her that I'd do that as soon as I could, but I needed to clear some things up first. Standard procedure. She said she understood. I told her that while running safety scans, the Trident picked up an unidentified biological substance on her pod, and asked her if she knew anything about it. A look of panic washed over her face, and before she could answer my question, our conversation was interrupted by a red alert from the Trident -- just before the power cut out completely. --- The engineers say it was a solar flare, but there was nothing in the forecasts about any dangerous weather in the region. No other ships in nearby systems have reported any issues on or around that time. --- I waited patiently for the emergency systems to come online. But they never did. --- If the backups weren't coming on, that most likely meant that the fuses had popped from an overload. I'd have to manually reset them one by one. --- When you spend such a long time on a ship by yourself, its interior becomes as familiar to you as your childhood bedroom. --- I groped in the darkness of the medical bay and felt my way toward engineering without much difficulty. I quickly descended into the bowels of the Trident until finally I found what I was looking for. But when I checked the fuse controllers, I discovered that none of them had been tripped. The primary systems all remained firmly in the 'on' position. Same story with the backups. I knew that I must've been mistaken, so I fumbled around until I found an emergency torch. That's when I knew I was in trouble. Whatever killed the Trident, had apparently knocked out every single electronic circuit on board. Right down to the flashlights. --- It took me a little while to calm down from the panic. The Trident was a dead hulk. Floating through space at sub-relativistic speeds. Fourteen clicks from the nearest outpost. I couldn't even put up a distress beacon. My crasket had its own power supply, but if the torch was any indication, it was likely nonfunctional as well. --- I was right. --- Eventually, I remembered the girl in the escape pod. I thought about her, cold and alone, trapped in a dead crasket, not knowing what was going on. Rescued from cryo-sleep only to be entombed alive. I... I almost didn't... I thought, "what would be the point?" Even if I got her out of there, she'd still die. We both would. But... I couldn't let her die alone. --- I took my tool kit down to the docking bay and that's when I see a light. There was a light, shining through the hatch window on the docking port. Having become fully accustomed to total darkness, it stung my eyes to look at it. I could see the fog of my breath puffing out in front of me as I pulled myself along the handrails toward it. Up close it was plain to see. Somehow... Miraculously... The pod still had power. --- The pod hatch was so crusted with interstellar grime that my spanner nearly snapped cracking it open. The air inside was stale. Metallic. Vintage tech. Sunbleached and brittle. Back then they still used actual plastic. --- The pod's systems woke up on my approach. Little fans whirred to life, storage units chattering. But the crasket was dark. Its glass fogged by grime and condensation. I suddenly realized I had no idea how long it had been since the power went out. If the trident was still in control of the crasket when it did... --- I stared at it. Guilt dragging on my gut. My hands were shaking so bad I had a hard time popping the latch on the lid. But I didn't close my eyes. If my chickenshit behavior had killed this poor girl, I at least owed her that. --- I almost couldn't do it. But I did. As I lifted the lid of the crasket, the lights inside blinked on. She was gone. The crasket was empty. --- I couldn't process what I was seeing. I reached down and touched the lining of the crasket. It was cool, and dry. It just didn't make any sense. A rush of cold hit me out of nowhere and I was stricken with a sudden lethargy. Like I had been hit with a tranquilizer. And I feel this, creeping sensation. Crawling up my back and my neck. Like static electricity. --- It was like a lightbulb went off in my head. I started putting pieces together. I realized this wasn't a salvage or a rescue mission. I was being hijacked. And this... Bitch... Whoever she was... She was right behind me. At this point, my fight or flight response must've kicked in because I spun around, ready for... I don't even know. --- And just my luck, that's when the power in the Trident came back on. Which meant gravity was back. I fell. Right into the open crasket. --- I think I hit my head again. There was a flash of light behind my eyes. When I was finally able to focus again, I saw a trickle of blood on the lid of the crasket... Which I realized had closed on me. I heard the latch engage with a meaty thunk. --- Through the glass, I see her. Standing over me. Her hand on the lid of the crasket. A look of triumph written on her fucking face. I think I screamed. Pounded on the glass as the crasket slowly filled with sleeping agent. Tendrils of white vapor curling around my bruised fists. And I just thought, "this is it." "This is how I die." --- I like my job. Pay's good. Meet new people. See new places. Everything's always different. Take a job from a man on the Solomons; Wake up and get paid by his grandson. So time... history... Not really my strong suit. --- I was one of those students who always aced every exam without studying. I know. Insufferable, right? To me, history was little more than endless memorization of dates and places and the names of people long since dead. Once mankind had had his way with good old Mother Earth, he moved on to bigger and better things. That's the story. That's all you really need to know about history. What else was there? --- The scientists who found me, an older couple on a survey mission, sent word of my recovery to T.K.I. I had been missing for eighteen months. They say it was a miracle I was even found at all. The couple had nearly completed their work and were preparing to leave the system behind when they detected an unexpected visitor passing near the world they were surveying. --- To say they were enthusiastic about finding me would be putting it lightly. But it wasn't really me they were interested in. They woke me hastily, and, ignoring all safety and quarantine procedures, ushered me onto their station. --- As we waited for a T.K.I. representative to send instructions for my return, they badgered me for information on the escape pod they found me in. A wave of humiliation washed over me. Still reeling, I didn't relish the thought of recounting the tale of my hijacking and subsequent marooning. --- Don't get me wrong. I was grateful to be alive. But I knew that T.K.I. would hold me fully accountable for the loss of my shipment. The insurance would cover any debts I owed on the Trident herself, but I'd be consigned to T.K.I. for longer than my natural life. --- They shared a surprised look and asked me what I was talking about. I told them that the Trident had been taken by a young woman who was pretending to be stranded on the escape pod they found me in. I described her to them, and guessed that she could be halfway across the quadrant by now, making a fortune off my haul and selling my ship for scrap. Again, they give each other this look, and then quietly asked me to follow them to their bridge. Intrigued, I did. --- The bridge had a breathtaking view of the survey world. A good deal of the station was visible on either side of the wrap-around windows. Looking out, I couldn't believe what I saw. Docked between their research shuttles, halfway down the superstructure, was the Trident. --- They told me the reason they were able to find me was the size of my signature on their deep space radar. It's hard to hide when you're towing twenty million tons of petroleum. Then they showed me a blip on their orbital debris tracker. My shipment was parked in a parallel orbit. --- And, I don't know what to do with this information. "What about the girl?" I ask them. And, for the third time, they give me this look, like I'm growing antlers out of my skull, and finally I'm so fed up that I shout at them to tell me just what the hell is going on. That's when they take me downstairs. To their research lab. --- And I'm about to lose it. I'm looking around at the lab and all the equipment. Spectrometers, electron microscopes, subterranean radiology. Standard Geology setup. Then I stop cold. Across from me, tacked to the wall, is a photograph. A group photo. About two-dozen people in uniform. The crew of a ship. But there's one face that stands out. A face that's burned permanently into my memory. I tell them, "There she is! That's her!" But I can tell they don't understand, so I pluck the photo off the wall and jab at the girl with my finger. "That's her! That's the damned pirate that hijacked me." They tell me I must be mistaken, that's impossible. --- And now I'm seeing red. Because I realize that they must be in on it. I haven't been rescued. I've been kidnapped. I demand to know what these supposed "geologists" want with me and my cargo. They explain that yes, they're scientists, but not geologists. They're archeologists. And the girl in the photo can't have hijacked my ship... Because she's been dead for almost four hundred years. --- At this point I break down in tears. I just let go and lose all control of my dignity. The archeologists wrap me in a blanket and stuff a cup of hot tea into my hands. Then, as carefully as they can, they tell me a story. --- A long time ago, a colony began to terraform a new system. But this was back in the days before xenobiology had matured as a field of study. The colonists were unaware that the terraforming process had awakened a dormant microbe in the permafrost of their new home. The death toll was catastrophic. But, a pioneering humanitarian organization out of New Netherlands devoted all of their resources to finding a cure. And eventually, it's believed that they did. But the system was already under strict quarantine. No ships were allowed in or out. But there was one ship that tried anyway. "The Rode Kruis?" I stated more than asked. A fragment of memory came forward in my mind. Some long forgotten bit of history that I hadn't bother to pay any attention. They nodded, and said that the Colonial Alliance had stationed several defense ships around the system to prevent traffic in or out. They fired on the Rode Kruis. And the captain, knowing that any survivors caught on an escape pod would never make it to the surface alive. I could tell where they were going, and I cut them off. "This was four hundred years ago, right? How could you know for sure? Maybe she did survive! Maybe she's still somewhere on the Trident!" They told me that yes, a single escape pod had been launched. But the Alliance left it alone because they didn't detect any life signs on board. As far as they were concerned, it was empty. They let it go. --- That's when I knew. The foreign bio-mat that the Trident detected... The reason it wasn't rejected by the contamination scans... She didn't hijack my ship to steal it. --- "But there _was_ someone on board," I said. But they told me it just wasn't possible. Captain Adrienne Kensington Ellis went down with her ship. Her body was recovered in the wreckage of the Rode Kruis and laid to rest on the world below. They built a monument to the sacrifice of her and her crew in the ruins of the capitol settlement. --- I must have watched the tapes a hundred times. Trying to make sense of it all. But every angle, every camera, showed the same thing. I saw myself. Talking to... Nothing. The escape pod was empty when I found it. Nobody had been in the crasket. --- It's been four centuries since the colony was wiped out by a mysterious alien virus. But somehow... Across space, and time, and even death, the captain of the Rode Kruis kept her promise. The cure had found its way home. THE END.
