Challenge #03069-H146: Big Disasters, Little Agent of Chaos
OK, tell me again, with a bit more attention to detail… How did this happen? – Anon Guest
Lam looked around at the mess. Obviously, “Because bird,” wasn’t going to cover it. All they had to do was focus on the important bits. “So… you’re aware of the presence of a bird…”
“How did the bird get in? This was a protected environment.” Exhibit A was a pink and grey parrot with a white crest. Currently contained, under strenuous objection, under an overturned basket. It was also dangling upside-down and spiritedly attempting to gnaw its way out.
“I don’t know,” protested Lam. “I was gonna clean the vent filters like you told me, but when I had the panel off–”
“Wait. You took the whole panel off?”

Challenge #02629-G072: Impossible Consequences
Human Dave was an interesting individual. His pack bonding ability is astounding even among his fellow Humans. The downside being where ever Dave goes chaos ensues. Even humans with high restraints have hard time controlling themselves. There are few Humans around Dave that are able to, in human terms “keep a tight leash on him”. I was able to ask one of them about more information about Dave. Saying that him and two other take shifts restraining Dave but whenever the day of Satur comes around it take the forces of all three to hold Dave down, and worry since the breaking of March is coming soon. – Anon Guest
Some Humans just can’t help themselves. They need others to be their sense of restraint or, in extreme cases, act as surrogate brain cells. Some are just… naturally chaotic. They don’t always bring devastation in their wake, or they wouldn’t last long in the space lanes for increasingly obvious reasons.
Human Dave was the embodiment of the catastrophe curve. When not catapulting from one bad idea to the next, he was happening to any threat that the crew might be encountering. When not dealing with threats, the rest of the Ships’ Humans were trying to “keep a lid” on Human Dave’s usual shenanigans.
Human Dave was usually friendly towards any non-hostile beings. He could befriend literally anything and frequently did. The heartache and the chaos happened when he inevitably attempted to drag random wildlife onto the scout vessel with him for the trip back to the Surveyor 34Y8.

Challenge #01457-C362: One Exasperating Late Evening in a Recovery Room
“Do you want to explain why you caused mass hysteria and almost created a national incident?”
“You know these things happen when I’m left alone.” – OohLookShiny
“Hwell,” sighed Ax'and'l. It was an old sigh. The kind of sigh that had put up with enough crap to make a rocky giant planetoid out of it. “I told you to mind the cargo…”
“And I did. I was. Honest,” said Hwell. “I only stepped away t’ help this wee lass–”
Ax'and'l moaned automatically. Hwell had a near-catastrophic ability to be interested in young ladies who inevitably lead to trouble.
