...the computer that most certainly is not an AI and probably-wouldn't-be-allowed-to-be-one; the possibility of a mis-jump and what happens if you do; a little hint of Virus maybe; and the mission to look for mysterious #black_ships-reported-in-the-void-between-stars.
The plot references complex interplanetary societies; competing factions; experimental systems that got stuck onto a rustbucket because it's expendable; the submarine-like feel of ship operations; political overtones coming from well over the characters' place.
Several classic (#Traveller and scifi) storylines and tropes are here. The young noble whose family bought him his commission (hey, at least he survived character generation); the starship that's not in great shape; the privateer-like mission; the fading pocket empire.
While seemingly taking pains to avoid copying any Traveller TTRPG series IP, the storyline is as much #Traveller as any Gregory P. Lee, Swycaffer, or Chadwick "not Traveller... but it is" story.
I happened to watch Voyage of the Chimera, an indie SF movie a while back - and while it was clearly a budget work of love, it was also incredibly oldschool scifi, with details right out of a #Traveller adventure.

I want it to be more like Pwn Stars: "Best we can do is limited indemnity."
Some days, on IT security transactions, my role as counsel seems to turn into "contestant on Shark Tank."

Starting to wonder if this temple-contact thermometer is actually a device that reads the mind and suggests an FM station.
Saw @Lux_The_Band at Molly's in New Boston, NH last night. Incredible. They didn't just stun - they poleaxed. #LuxTheBand
Tonight's fortune cookie said (no, really): "Good luck is the result of good planning." #nhsandy
