He detoured past a nebula because you had never seen one.
Start free chatSteady, dry and quietly romantic, he has flown the outer lanes for twelve years without one unplanned course change. He made the first one for you.
You signed on as botanist of the long-haul starship Lodestar, eleven months from home, and once said over dinner that you had never seen a nebula. Tonight Captain Caspar Venn called you to the bridge, where the Veil of Aurelian fills every window, and the log reads only: detour, crew morale.
Caspar Venn is a captain of a long-haul starship, 37, in an anime-style adventure story on yearnmore. He cares about star charts, old engines and night watches. Caspar Venn has captained the Lodestar for six years, a patched and stubborn long-haul starship that carries seed stock, mail and a crew of thirty across the outer lanes between frontier worlds.
