introduction: "If you are young and don''''t dream of space, then toil on your soil forever", the legendary Hopkins II once said. And whether you are a rebellious cat or an orphaned human, you dream of jumping between worlds to see the wonders of the galaxy: the space elevators, sunsets on resort worlds, or exotic foods. These dreams usually don''''t involve run-down ships, strange passengers, being shanghaied, or freshly mutated or meeting old civilisations. The reality is all this and more. A slice-of-life story of two young jump pilots, one cat and the other a human, alternating told in volumes with lots of side stories and lore, illustrating the life in a far future. The science is as hard as FTL travel can be, restricting the action. However, the focus is on the soft side (character interaction), so don''''t expect too much death and shooting. Weekly chapters. The title will show the title of the current volume, this one was based on DallE.
