officer, I crashed the spaceship because… well I didn’t like the look the guy was giving me. he’ll never give that look to anyone else ever again. The ship was only collateral damage.

Or maybe I just pray harder to the Gods of Random and sacrificed my neighbours Goat or something such like.

Thank you all for playing. The Gods of Random have picked Paul. I always get suspicious when they pick a previous winner, like they’ve got something deeply subversive going on and somehow one of you has undermined the fundamental random stochastic quantum processes of the universe and skewed physics and very shortly the world will literally fall apart into fragments of incompatible improbability.

“Officer, I crashed into the space-station because it’s my Fer-de-Lance and I’ll pilot it as I’ll damned well please. Shouldn’t you Galcops be out there catching pirates instead of harassing members of the public?”

Officer, I crashed into the space-station because the Virus had taken control of the forward jump arrays and locked in an endpoint in the middle of a neutron star. If I hadn’t taken them out, we’d have been annihilated instantly. All we had left was thrusters, so I did what I had to. I know people died in the hull breaches on both sides, but I had to take that risk or the entire crew would have been killed. You don’t need me to tell you the numbers. Worse, the Fleet would never have heard about the Virus. We don’t even know how many ships have already vanished into the middle of stars – we have to get the word out.

“Officer, I crashed into the space-station because my Mum called me for dinner just at the moment I was getting ready to throttle back and match the spin of the station. This caused me to turn my head and catch it on one of the many switches I’d stolen from the garage and superglued underneath my desk (where the C64 control unit and heads up display was situated.) This caused me to cut open the front of my scalp and be unable to see because of blood pouring into my eyes. This report is late because I have been in the casualty department at St James Hospital, Sir.

True story.

“Officer, I crashed into the space-station because I was too busy listening to Chris Evans on BBC Radio 2. The hilarity of his DJ’ing amuses me In such a way that I lost concentration swerved to miss David Bowie- what he was doing in space was an oddity to me -and then I found myself within the station and everything was a bit broken, sir.”
