EDIT:
The amount of people in the notes going "yeah sure it may not be the answer for you but it absolutely is for me," is honestly concerning. It's very much like that one "I'm sorry your hubris was your doom but I'm built better" post that lives rent free in my head. These guidelines are there for a reason ya'll. (Also I'm not removing the wierd caption.)

Good morning @derinthescarletpescatarian I have decided that your story about a perfectly normal spaceship is very much like the videotape in The Ring. One must pass the curse on to others in order to be free of it one's self.
I have shared it in a group chat and infected my best friend's sister and thence, my best friend:

“Please do not tell me that you woke up on this ship with no ability to leave or call for help, took a look at the computer system whose operations are responsible for keeping us all alive, and decided to name it after the Allied Mastercomputer.”
“Okay."
“Did you name Amy after the Allied Mastercomputer?”
“You just asked me not to tell you, so-”

No way it's a normal rainstorm.
No way it's not some scifi neon atmosphere space-ass bullshit rainstorm.
@derinthescarletpescatarian I'm on to you.

Ask Me Anything -- Sam Sareff
Why were you named Sam- was it a religious thing or a family thing or what?
Sort of both! Well, really, it was a family thing – I was named for my grandmother, who was named for her uncle. But she always used to joke that she was named after a god from the Nameless country that predated the Republic of Texas.
Everyone knows that the Nameless Country, being primarily Christian, worshipped Father Christmas (the father of ‘Jesus Christ’) who would bless everyone with gifts on his son’s birthday, but many people don’t know that they actually had a second, more consistently worshipped god, named Uncle Sam! So that was always my grandmother’s little joke, that we were named after a dead god from a mystery country.
If the Hylara colony ends up not needing/able to support turtles, do you have an alternate idea for that constellation?
Oh, I’m sure there will be turtles. If only as pets in terrariums. There’s no rcourse for old dna, no Earth to go back o; I’m sure we’ll fill Hylara with as many different kinds of animals as we possibly can.
I certainly hope our descendants don’t name their constellations after inanimate things. If they look up at the stars and see not a turtle but a living dome surrounded by exit airlocks, well. That would be a sad thing indeed.
Would you want to raise kids once you reach Hylara?
To be honest I’m not sure how much choice I’ll have in the matter. Children will be needed and we have thousands of embryos in storage for a reason. I imagine that children will be determined by the resources to support them that we have on hand. I’d love to raise some if it’s an option, but it’s all going to depend on how many we can realistically provide for, who’s likely to be the best child carers, and whose skills aren’t needed more elsewhere.
(Sam is a character from Time to Orbit: Unknown)
