Summary: Gideon has a sense of humor as well as occasion.




Never let it be said that, when given the opportunity to name an entire fleet of explorer-ships fitted out with the newest of drive technology, Captain Gideon Ware did not have a sense of humor. Gilly looked over the list, hard put not to laugh.

Arrack, Grommet, Ring-and-Dot, Cross-and-Jostle, Missus Judith, Chad Didcott, Candlewick Flourish, Lemon Surprise, and Gilly's personal favorite Heavy-Wet, not to mention others more far-fetched. But really, what was one to expect, when the engines that sent them flying like finely tempered tools (or needles or fists) through space had been cleverly dubbed 'Punch Drives' by their inventor.
