Space- The Final Frontier

Captain's Log: Stardate October 20, 2009
Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Khris. Its mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.

Today's mission began at the local Waffle House. This is a universe all of its own and one that my First Mate Wayne and I visit on occasson when food supplies on our Mother Ship run low. Foraging expeditions to Waffle House are usually conducted in the early morning or late evening hours.

Upon entering the Waffle House solar system, we immediately noticed strange life forms. From the uniforms they were wearing, they appear to be the indigenous people of the establishment. Their chief (head cook) was at his helm at the grill and his followers (waitresses) scurried about tending to nomadic visitors such as ourselves. This appears to be a war-like society as we documented discord among the followers. Two of the females in the group began arguing with one another and the chief had to settle the disagreement. I declared, "There seems to be no signs of intelligent life anywhere."

Since it was a foraging expedition, we ordered scrambled eggs, toast, hashbrowns, and bacon. The locals were consuming gallons of a drink native to this land- coffee. I sampled the coffee and found its strong black flavor to be intoxicating. The caffiene rushed to the capillaries in my brain and I felt energized. My First Mate Wayne declared "That is quite logical, Captian." And he ordered the coffee as well.

In the spirit of true exploration, we traded coins for the food which they provided to us. There were other explorers- or perhaps nomadic peoples who also do not eat at home- who were foraging for food as well. All in all, the people of the Waffle House were a friendly culture. After becoming accustomed to their native tongue, we found that we could communicate with them readily.

On our next journey, we will be proceeding to the Post Office. We have heard stories that the natives there are volatile and prone to aggressive behavior. There we will attempt to make contact with other life forms. There are reports of a huge vortex which is contained at the center of that system which is capable of sucking volumes of letters into its black hole.
