The Adventures of Nebuleena in Retro Sci-Fi Movies

A slave uprising on Stheno, the restoration  of the royal family of the hated Hyadean Empire, countless minor infractions within the Bellatrixian Empire, and this spaceship captain, Nebuleena, is always involved somehow. Athena, the Amazon queen of Bellatrix, has developed a niggling dislike for Nebuleena. Her Victorious Majesty has been personally setting traps for the Silver Swift all over the colonised systems. Finally, she had her in her grasp on the opulent vacation planet Cornucopia, but now Nebuleena has her trapped in the hold of the Silver Swift , screaming curses and swearing oaths of punishment. Nebuleena could hardly care less about the Amazon's comically crude attempts to capture her. She sits at the console, activates the stardrive, and the Silver Swift leaves the Capella system behind. In folded space, time and space mingle, and a journey of light years can be achieved in hours. There are signals here, too, leaked into space centuries ago and frozen in time; echoe...

The Saucers Are Coming The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) On the afternoon of June 24th 1947, pilot Kenneth Arnold flew over the Cascade Mountains not far from Mount Rainier in a CallAir A-2 utility aircraft. The sky was clear, and Arnold had detoured to search for a missing transport plane. He failed to find it and, to my knowledge, it's never been found. What Arnold did observe had a profound cultural impact. Mysterious flashes of light alerted Arnold to nine objects flying erratically and at great speed to his left. Arnold is reported to have described the objects he saw that day in various ways, but not usually as circular. He said the objects were crescent shaped, or bat-shaped. The way he assessed their flight , however, was as being like a saucer if you skip it across water. Kenneth Arnold's sighting is viewed as the beginning of the modern UFO phenomenon. Regardless of whether that's so, people have always seen strange things in the sky. Even depictions of dis...

You'd think, after being in exile since they were five, the twin prince and princess of the Hyades empire would have more humility, yet they've been aboard the Silver Swift for ten minutes and have proven to be as spoiled and ignorant as you'd expect royal teenagers to be. And that music! What's nu wave cyber-synth post-alternative retrocore, anyway? It just sounds like a racket to Nebuleena. And now the door of the twins' cabin has mysteriously jammed, locking them both inside. Oh well. That'll have to wait until they arrive at the Hyadean Imperial Palace and Nebuleena is royally paid for transporting these brats. Nebuleena rests the fuse of the cabin door on the console and activates the stardrive. In folded space, time and space mingle, and a journey of light years can be achieved in hours. There are signals here, too, leaked into space centuries ago and frozen in time; echoes of an Earth long lost to memory, but accessible to a spaceship's scanners. Le...

The planet Stheno recedes into the distance, and at the console of the Silver Swift , Nebuleena wonders when the sadistic Amazon governor will discover her protective crystal pendant has been replaced with a forgery. Hopefully, it'll be when she next raises her electrowhip to a bitter Gorgonean and is psychically paralysed. Nebuleena studies her newly acquired, and valuable, purple Bellatrixian mind-crystal pendant, then activates the stardrive and vanishes from the Gorgonea Tertia star system. In folded space, time and space mingle, and a journey of light years can be achieved in hours. There are signals here, too, leaked into space centuries ago and frozen in time; echoes of an Earth long lost to memory, but accessible to a spaceship's scanners. Let's see what Nebuleena finds in the abyss...
