Stardate 9-LIVES-7.2. I'm writing this from the brig after what the crew is calling 'The Incident.' In my defense, it looked exactly like The Red Dot.
How It Started
We were passing through the Laser Pointer Quadrant when I spotted it — a small, red, impossibly tantalizing dot. Every whisker stood at attention. My pupils went full saucer mode.
How It Went
I redirected the ship, burned 40% of our fuel, and attempted to pounce on the main viewport, leaving four sets of claw marks in the reinforced glass.
How It's Going
The 'dot' was Proxima Centauri. I'm in the brig watching a red blinking light on the ceiling that I am absolutely NOT going to chase.
Starting... now. Okay, maybe in five minutes.
