Steem Wars - There's No Hope or The Post Where It Begins

It's almost like millions of souls sighed with indifference and wandered off doing their own thing...

The Time Lord had a headache. Not the pounding thump of a skull cracker, more an incessant dull throb. Dr. Muxx wasn't having a good time of it. A fracas was felt in the Steem a week previously and the good Doctor had spent the past month investigating the whys and wherefores. Timestreams crashed, coalesced and generally upset each other. This wouldn't do.

Navigating the RETARDIS from one end of the universe to the other had its perks, not least the mounting up of air miles. He would soon have enough to redeem the hypersonic pencil he'd had his eye on this past millennium. 'It's not all bad' he mused to nobody in particular.

Dr. Muxx had ascertained that the Steem was playing silly buggers with him. Heroes and villains alike felt its pull and formed teams, for what purpose the author hadn't decided yet. What he did know was that the Steem wanted something from them and that they would have to provide that something, otherwise all time would cease to exist. That would be a bummer.

Checking over his files he didn't hold out much hope for the future of the space-time continuum. Alas, he had to trust that this ragtag assortment of characters would appease the Steem.

Future Galacdictator Tangle (@tanglebranch) and the crew of the Intangible, consisting of Underlord Negavader (@negativer) and Sixty-Wine (@caleblailmusik) was the first he shook his head at incredulously. Future Galacdictator Tangle's transmission was intercepted here, swiftly followed by Underlord Negavader's here and finally Sixty-Wine's here. No hope there.

Wandering through the galaxy in their junky starfighters, leaving behind them loads of geekery and a smattering of chaos, the Rogue Geeks answered the call. Their members, known by their call signs, include Trailblazer (@raiserxn), Shade (@carn), Fertherder (@xanderslee), Kyler (@nostone-unturned), and Noridia (@deadgrlsuppastar). Shade's transmission was intercepted here, Noridia's here. Trailblazer's message was picked up here.

Captain Trickle (@rhondak) leads the crew of The Droneflies, consisting of Princell KatLe'a (@katrina-ariel) - transmission here, Randel Tolp (@gnomed0) - see bio here - @Anarcho-Andrei as Lain Dakota - transmission here and @Catherine813 as Miss Fixit.

The RS Flying Wardrobe is crewed by @jonknight AKA Carnif Geb of Vega - read about him here, @idenkcall, @tinypaleokitchen as Tiny The Tall Space Witch - transmission intercepted here - @thinknzombie, @damianjayclay, and @bex-dk.

Finally, the Darths also felt the calling of the Steem. These include Darth Speed (@hispeedimagins), @foxfiction, @jayna and @anikekirsten AKA Ani-won Kirsten.

Dr. Muxx shook his head and wished he hadn't, his brain felt like a marble rattling around his skull. Swallowing his thirteenth dose of Aspirin for the day he sighed and plucked up the courage to contact the crews via the transgalactic Discordnet to give them each their missions, already convinced that it was a lost cause. He held some hope that other crews would come on board, increasing the universe's chances of survival.

Will YOU answer the call? Steem Wars is a community-wide event to encourage writing, mutual support, and blockchain interactions. Who knows, perhaps a friendship or two might form. Anybody can take part, form crews or go it solo. Not a writer? No problem. Artists and poets depicting Steem Wars stories are welcome to join in too. Visit The Writers' Block Discord server and ask for access to Steem Wars. And above all, remember to have fun! There are no rules, any sci-fi franchise can be 'appropriated' and mashed up, although please make them parodies rather than fan fiction. See the original proposal for Steem Wars here.

Whoop whoop geeks to the rescue!!! I might have a gadget or two to help with that headache Dr. Muxx.. Let me look in my junk drawer!

Copy that. I'm with you, Time Lord.

No hope in this lot.

Might as well give the universe to me now and save us all the trouble.

Overlord Negavader has a nice ring to it.

--signing off--

wakes up in my cave in the desert

"What was that noise?" lies back down to sleep "Damned Dirtpeople always hollering at unSteemly hours of the afternoon." will answer the call tomorrow... or the day after. sometime this week, maybe

Capn Trickle reporting for doodie. Er. . I mean duty.

I noticed you were having a bit of trouble pronouncing my name. It's pronounced by Vegans with a silent 'f' and a super-soft "G". (Car-ni-jeb)

Of course, unless I am rescued it probably won't matter...
