The Adventures of Captain Trixi and the Mutant Space Goats

Ah, the things we get up to in cyberspace sometimes. There I was yesterday, checking my mail and noticing that I hadn't seen much from one particular mailing list. I sent out a 'test' message, just to make sure everything was hunky-dory (since I'm the ListMom, it seemed the right thing to do). Little did I know that this one little message would spawn a legend for our times! In response to that simple little message, Gemini, bless her straight-woman soul, gave the fateful response, "Coming in loud and clear, Captain!"

It got better, or worse, depending on your point of view, from there.

The next thing I knew, the email was flying fast and furious and Captain Trixi was born.

This woman has no redeeming social value, whatsoever. At least not beyond attempting to keep bars in business and spreading her own brand of happiness wherever she goes... and with as many as she can manage. Her exec, alternately known as Commander Leaf-Eater/Tight-Atss or 'missy' (lovingly written by Gemini), gives her hell and gets her involved with N'aanI (bodaciously written by Melanie, the leader of the Mutant Space Goats. (Do check out Mel's journal entry for today! Just don't drink anything in the process!)

When last we left our intrepid captain, she was arranging a little, ahem, negotiation session with N'aanI. Naturally, this involved mass quantities of whipped cream and chocolate pudding.

And no, xenobiology will not get a report. The woman has some scruples. Well, not many but N'aanI is ten meters tall with rather lethal horns that double as energy weapons. Would you kiss and tell under those circumstance? Ha! I thought not!

I have got to find a story for this character! She's just too much fun to leave languishing in an email story and a couple of journal entries.
