It
is after noon. You have over eight and a half pages worth of words, over 3500
words of description about Ship and its workings from the three original Merlyn
books. You do not need to add all these to the blog however do add the
Glossaries.
Glossary - Books One & Two ©

be read by the Living. A process included in the shaman’s dance between the
mind and spirit.
Twiginatwig or curlingtwig

urination and for sexual activity. Between full sexual arousal time and

the common sarcastic names given is ‘workatwig' (to near exhaustion)’ is painfully but humorously understood by
marsupials.

Boxostats – Bio chemical
computer that reminds you of the things you do routinely everyday. It can be
adjusted to tell you how many spoons of ice cream you had in a week, for
instance, on in a month. The computer is in a soft pad that you stick anywhere
on your person. It is used mainly to study and help a person control compulsive
behaviors.
Brownsodainajar – A very
addictive sweet drink on HomePlanets. A human may mistaken it for an
interesting tasteful cold tea but it holds very light, opium-like properties.
Gravobar – A measure of
gravitational energy need to power Ship
Heart tangle – Invisible

Shunning – To avoid an
individual socially by putting pressure on the said person to mend herorhis

marsupial group. Banishment is a worse punishment and is rarely forgivable.
Hope is never taken away in even the worst of cases.
Soultime – A sense of
personal Purgatory

It
is strange to see these lists once again. I was in a different place and time
at least in my head. I didn't even remember there wasn't a glossary for book
three. I suppose I can legally call them my made up vocabulary. The marsupial
humanoids see 'groups' first in a lot of cases, then specifics. I assume this
is because they are a matriarchal chosen culture and society. The men find it
more relaxing to have the women lead so they can work on efficiencies of
specific projects. Men and women do work together on projects, they are equal
heartansoulanmind wise but physically there are tendencies that make, in
general, women more right brained and men more left brained. That's all I
remember.

I
will but there is nothing here that has much to do with Yermey's plan.
Friendly, Hartolite and Yermey are
exceptional people. Few, if any of the marsupial humanoids on ThreePlanets
would want to be in their shoes. These three want to make a conscious connection
with Earthlings, with Homo sapiens. ThreePlanets is fearful of biological
contamination, that Homo sapiens will bring diseases to them. They are fearful
that communication will be misunderstood. They are fearful of Homo sapiens lack
of patience, after all their life span average (non-accidental or suicidal
deaths) is about five hundred years. They have plenty of time and plenty of
space for social organization based on early pouch development. Running is
their defense and sharing is their communial standard. Yet, here these three
are defying ThreePlanets to let Earthlings know they exist. You need to keep
this in mind, orndorff. Now, post. - Amorella
This
afternoon you and Carol each had half a ham and cheese sandwich and wheat chips
while you watched a DVRed "Castle" and "Vegas". You also
drove to Walmart because Carol only had two bags of candy for trick or treat
and you bought another couple of bags for insurance.
1627
hours. It's raining I doubt there will be that many tonight but I would hate to
run out. I am ready to work on Pouch-5 but I'm ready to wait until you are
ready. It is always a little nerve wracking to go into a writing more or less
blind. What in the world are Yermey's thoughts moving into this?
Let's go find out. - Amorella
1635
hours. I have the document set but I am hung up on setting and vocabulary.
Go back and see what you wrote on Ship
already. - Amorella
I
forgot about Ship in this book. . . . I have added the material to Ship Tech
however I need a diagram of ship. This needs to be a smaller class, three
levels. It needs to have a Shuttlevator though not one bigger than a regular
elevator. It has to hold at least ten people though I can't imagine a Ship made
for less than a hundred passengers.
This is not Star Trek's Enterprise. To save
wasted energy search online. A fully equipped private apartment is required for
each crew member. Ship chooses its crew as well as the other way around. The
smallest Ship is one hundred yards in diameter and is thirty feet tall at center.
Go back to The Day the Earth Stood Still film as a first example. Think,
orndorff. A large Ship would be intimidating. All they need is something to
take them home fast in an emergency.
I
haven't thought of this from this crew's needs and objectives. A small Ship; I
need to create a new class. These people are mostly passengers, but all three
can run Ship.
Only if Ship allows this at the time. -

So,
Ship's the captain?
Co-captain
is more accurate, for safety and an assured home flight or rescue. It is
getting close to trick or treat time. You need to prepare. More later. Post. -

1803
hours. I am on the front porch await the little ones. On my right small table is
a Coke Zero, a large orange bowl of treats. On the other small table is a skull
with a flashing red light inside and a ceramic orange pumpkin with a black
pointed cap on top. Neither the candle or flashing bike light are lit at
present because it is still light. I see two sets of kids coming this way. On
my left side of the street are four and it looks like four coming down the
other side. Parents with umbrellas walking discreetly behind the excited little
costumed children. Lots of fun. For some it looks like their first time out. The
weather is cold, damp, sprinkling and nippy behind a slight wind out of the
northwest. I am facing east at the end of our cul-de-sac.
1821
hours. I have had about ten trick or treaters so far, and have added to the
ambience: AOL Slacker online Halloween music.
After the Halloween hours you and Carol
watched a DVRed "Mentalist" the hundredth episode. You did find a
photo of the saucer in the 1951 original The Day the Earth Stood Still. The
size is small but the shape will work well. You were going to create a drawing
of the interior but there is no need. The outer parameter has ten personal
private rooms; one for captain and one for each passenger. All rooms are
identical and have 225 square feet of living space. Each room has a kitchen,
toilet, sink, shower, living/entertainment/study room and sleeping facilities
as well as clothing facilitators. Each living unit can be separated if need be
and automatically sent running to ThreePlanets. The central area is social/lab-an-works
commons. The commons can also be used as a Shuttlevator. The skin of Ship holds the individual and common mechanics. The
shields are for defense only no weaponry of any kind exists. Basically Ship, an
A-Class Explorer, is a pouch for ten and up to ten pouches for one for each. Below
is the basic shape. The height is ten feet at center out to seven feet at outer
edge of living space. The outer hull tapers down to one inch. Four hallways
exist, four entrances/exits, each three feet wide. This is a translation and is
not exact. No windows exist. Post. - Amorella

hours. This gives me much more to work with and is of simple efficient design. Where is the storage area?
Each apartment can also be used for storage when needed. - Amorella
