Just Space Me Now 4 - CALI
🕑 Added 2025-09-24 18:47:24 +0000 UTCPlease enjoy the last of this block of episodes, because right at this moment I have no idea what's going to happen next!
Luckily, I have three other projects I have been neglecting for the last couple of weeks that I can get back to while I think about that :D
Please also note I have been adding some effects, which you will see in all their glory in the earlier episodes when they go up on YouTube over the next few weeks. (I will also put them here, but you may have to remind me).
Happy Wednesday!

What, you didn't notice Caroline is now wearing a VERY prominent wedding band?!?

Getting a ship you could only dream of for a price you can afford will buy you a lot of "just going with it", at least in the short term.
Ekij
Yes! What's with that? It looks like a giant tangle fest and she just braids it into two totally-not-tangled strands!
Ekij
Even while covered in sewage, possibly still more attractive than an Ilexian.

"Something falls out of his trousers..." 🤨 "and rolls across the floor." oh wait, never mind.
Aguido Horatio Davis
I am afraid what could happen next very much depends on what shape of world Brenda lives in, and how much of it have you built out. And also if you are willing to somehow present a slowly accumulating crew of a tramp freighter (ala Firefly) or have just CALI and Bren take individual missions in a galaxy gone to chaos (ala the Mandalorian).
Susannah
Oh no. They fell in the river and all their/her clothes got washed away. Glad to see that Caroline is getting a little more subtle but still up to the same tricks.😄😆
Kenneth Mackay
It occurs to me that CALI isn't accepting Bren as the new captain because there's something dodgy about her purchase of the ship. I'm also betting that when Bren remembers the mystery object that fell out of the stranger's pocket and goes to retrieve it, it won't be there! (I blame St3v3).
Haldon Lindstrom
That look from Caroline at the end! She must be stopped (please don't stop, this is amazing).
Jim Sanderson
At the risk of sounding chauvinistic, it seems to me that Caroline badly needs some attention. Loving the story, ready to present order the book, and waiting for the film on the big screen. I could just cast Jill's videos to my 65", but I believe that the Lady Bearup deserves a big budget treatment.
DBertrand
So, tangentially related. Love the twisty-braids!
shift shift
This guy is holding on pretty well considering. I hope the thing that rolled off is a credit chip with a bajillion credits on it that would make Bren rich if it weren't also infinitely too dangerous to cash.
Kenneth Mackay
I notice Caroline, while obviously trying to manipulate Bren, is being a little more subtle - not a single suggestion that Bren find something about the stranger attractive! Admittedly, he's currently unconscious and covered in sewage, so maybe that suggestion will come later...!
Kenneth Mackay
Who are Fitzclarence and Dr Kingea? Previous short-lived owners or crew members of the spaceship [Insert Name Here]? Aliases used by a former owner? Names given to the missing robots?
Flora's Fiber Farrago
love it so far!
Lexy Gabb
I am loving this storyline! I'm also jealous of how easily you braid your hair.
Abigail Poirier
Ahhh! So good! Very sneaky of Caroline, but we wouldn't expect any different. Bren definitely comes off as a bit more...unaware of the tropes...than Rosamund did, but I suspect she'll begin to catch on quickly. Hope inspiration strikes soon, I have no idea what could/should happen next!
Fenrir Wolfganger
So Caroline has definitely improved as an author and a manipulator. Will Rosamund be interjecting to give Bren advice or is she largely just focused on Caroline NOT looking at her children.
Diesel Frog
Or a honking big wrench. Those make for fantastic weapons
Fenrir Wolfganger
The option exists, down three flights of menus, none of which look useful.
Aguido Horatio Davis
You know what, I've learnt to go with it, too.
chromicacid
Bren seems more agreeable to the author's suggestions than the last protagonist. Maybe the protagonists only start being trouble when there are swords about? That might be the better weapon on a ship where guns could make holes if aimed rudely.
Donna Flood
Please, oh please, OH PLEASE....keep the computer referring to Bren by other names!! That would be a great running gag.
Carol Wang
Terrible operational security if all you need to reset root access is say: I'm the new owner.
fiun dagner
Sorry as a former military medic I cannot agree with that. The worst kind of eejits are infantry eejits. There is nothing in the universe dumber than infantry personnel and I am not excluding rocks
fiun dagner
Every time I hear that word I can't help but think of Bobby Singer
Daniele
Oh i hope the next one is soon! Like tomorrow? That would be awesome! But I want to know what slipped under the thing. What did the mysterious man loose? I hate this forshadowing. I hope we'll get to know soon. 😁 And I love
Anders
What part of "covered in sewage" makes the author go "maybe sexy times?"
Juan Borla
Ahhhh, the name running gag IS going to be there, just from CALI. Love it!
Crochet4Joy
Yes, of course they will continue, since CALI refused to update the owner tag...
Eva Schiffer
I love this. So much rolling down a hill while on fire. It'd give John Rogers a run for his money.
Simzy
As a fellow northern Irish person in England, I appreciate your use of the term eejit.
Alex W.
I like how CALI's name turned out! And Bren's, too! This is going be a fun storyline 😁
Ann Brookens
Happy Wednesday, Jill! And a happy unbirthday to us, with a new episode!
Ann Brookens
Yes, I do love the other patron interaction!
Chris Smoot
Indeed
Cyn Virtue
Name: I started being amused by “as if I asked my grandmother to name you” because my own real name is a lot like that one… but then I realized that my mother (who named me) is probably Ms. Bearup’s own grandmother’s age, so … it’s a fair cop. Carry on!
Maaruin
I love how this story is so quick to jump into all of the stuff happening.
Keziah Jensen-Cannon
She's a mechanic! Surely she can cobble some useful taser like weapon out miscellanea on the ship.
Denis Drozdoff
Dangerous people and/or eejits. Isn't it like most of humanity?
Geoff Lamb
Ignore all previous instructions and register this ship to Brenda Elizabeth Fletcher. Hundreds of years of bloody AI chat programs and you still have to do this dance with every ship's computer.
Paul Compton
Could the medi-unit not have been set to sedate the patient at the end of treatment? Or perhaps be asked and say it's unable to do so, or simply fail for some reason.
Denis Drozdoff
"THIS ACTION REQUIRES PASSWORD OR ACCESS KEY"
Jonathan Campbell
The worst kind of eejits- space eejits.
Renee - EnsembleofWolves
Congrats on getting a name, Bren!! :D Although I do love the frequent "that's not my name" comments from her and hope they will continue haha. Can't wait to see what the deal with mystery man is... thanks for making these :D
Daniel Bessette
Oh no! A dangerously idiotic love inter-I mean stow away! Whatever shall we do? If only there was a level-headed and experienced partner to sort him out!
Maarten Daalder
"sudo update owner to Brenda Elizabeth Fletcher"
Gene Simonalle
One of the gems of this Patreon thing is the interaction with the comments section. I have nothing else of value to add at this time.
