Killing time before work, derp. Going to have some cereal and then spend the rest of the morning picking at tags, I think. And that will be My Thrilling Morning and now you know all about it and may have forgotten something important as a result. You're welcome.
As you travel towards your destination, your language lab reports some interesting findings from the newspaper you gave them. You have just come from the planet Prax, a fairly advanced civilization. Some years before the paper was published, a great debate occurred and two groups emerged with two schools of thought. The Progressives were modern thinkers, set on material progress, computerization and a more scientific view of the future. The Regressives, on the other hand, disliked the inhuman element of the Progressives' world and preferred a return to basics, where people did not rely on machines. A period of cold war ensued, until the Regressives discovered that the Progressives had developed a powerful hallucinatory drug. The Progressives had intended to use the drug on the Regressives, but when the plot was discovered, they agreed to send all stocks of the drug into space out of the way. Something went wrong, however, and the rocket exploded in the planet's upper atmosphere, subjecting the entire planet to severe hallucinations. On the day the paper was published, its effects were just beginning to be noticed.
Well, that explains things. Onward to the star cluster!
As you approach, you cut engines. Switching to visual on the screen, you can see the small cluster in the distance.
Suddenly your navigation officer wheels round. 'Captain!' he exclaims, 'meteor storm dead ahead. We are moving straight into it!'
