Where did the Moth's Wing come from? What people built its thrumming hyperspatial engines, and what psychic unrest propelled its bold, naive crew to leave their homes? It's been so long, the ship's own crew don't even know. The journey has stretched across generations. The Science Officer, on a day (or night; who knows) when nothing much is passing but the stars outside the boring windows, decides to check the ship's library. He paws the keys as best as he is able, and discovers a file purporting to contain an entry in the original Captain's original log! Alas, it's written in Mwnshi, a language no dog has ever been able to growl. So he runs it through the computer's state-of-the-art translation program, and reads, tail wagging, the output, with wagging tail. Did I mention his tail was wagging?
