Today we’re due to emerge in normal space at the prime candidate for the Vo’lach home system. With the captain’s tacit approval, which is to say she had responded that she wouldn’t lose any sleep if I was in a transparently hulled part of the ship when hypothetical aliens attacked with heavy lasers, I’ve managed to get Sergei and David to push my bed into the observation dome (really a tertiary storage facility that Sandra and Jane had customized with a hull insert of bubble-formed, zero-refraction laminate after a particularly successful smuggling run) to watch the emergence. The moment of re-entry into the space surrounding a new star is normally a good time on board ship, and a number of odd spacer’s rituals and jokes have grown up around it, particularly when the star has only been perfunctorily surveyed in the past. This was the case with most of the stars of the Northern Cross, with the exception of Epsilon Cygnus, which lay within a hundred light years of Earth and hence was on the tourist as well as the serious space routes, so ordinarily I might have expected libations to Old Father Space and the Virgin Worlds, and compulsory singing of ‘Up the Greasy Pole’ and other zero-gee anthems. Not this time. This time I had a bad joke that was spot on. Well, it couldn’t get much sadder,’ I quipped as the SecondBest Buy snapped out of hyperdrive on the fringes of the Gamma Cygnus system. Sergei chortled, ‘Is pun, yes? Sadr is name of star.’ ‘Is very bad pun,’ David groaned. ‘I just wanted to pre-empt any stupid jokes,’ Bernice lied. ‘You mean like wondering if you’re going to be bedridden the whole time or whether the visit is going to be in Cygnus or in health?’ David said innocently. Sergei looked at Bernice and made a noise like a wounded animal. We were just trying to distract ourselves from why my joke had turned out to be so appropriate. The Sadr star system had been gutted.
