Gooday Gaming Guests - Getting Lost in Space and Deep on the Ocean Floor

Episode Date: November 19, 2024

I am a big fan of the unknown.

These nights go by, or these days go by so fast, I can't believe Thanksgiving's almost here. I just noticed that. Today's the 19th. I got a lot done today. I put a whole bunch, I go on little eBay runs where I put a lot of stuff up. and then I throw those videos on the listings as a way to like multi mirror my my listings and my youtube as well so I got a lot of stuff up there lots of fun stuff I put up today the weather's still pretty nice pretty warm today so we're gonna find something fun to read today. Yeah, I did all of some GameCube not GameCube, but GameBoy stuff today. GameBoy Color. Some EverDrives I had.

Bunch of other fun stuff I did. I listed a whole bunch of stuff today. You just have to get time. You gotta get motivated. You gotta get in that in that mood to do the run, which is listings keep listing stuff it just takes a while especially if you're going to do a quick video with it but you really have to put some sort of video with the listings now it kind of makes it stand out a little bit

better people can see a little bit because there's always something i miss so i put it in a video too then buyers can see more that I may miss all right so we're gonna do something different today we're gonna do a spooky space I'm gonna do a spooky space story for tonight For tonight. But a bit longer. Longer. Oop. A spooky space story. Always gotta have some sort of inspiration.

Inspiration. Let's see what that comes up with. This is my zippy. My AI buddy here. I said I put it in a spooky space story with a touch of cosmic airiness to inspire you.

Awesome. Let's see what we got. It's called The Void Whispers. Very fun. The crew of the starship Eventide

was on a routine mission. Charting an unmarked sector of deep space near Andromeda Prophecy. Captain Morris, a veteran explorer, had guided her crew through countless journeys, but this was something about the patch of space that unsettled her. It was too quiet, no debris fields, no signs of other ships or noticeable celestial bodies,

just as an expansion of black void. The ease became subdued. Communications officer Greaves reported hearing faint whispers in his headset but when he checked the logs the audio files were clean just a glitch he assured himself though his hands trebled as he rest his counsel on a day later engineer Hart discovered that the ship's chromators were out of sync each device showed a different time as if reality itself had stopped started to fray solar radiation interference hard guests but her voice lacked conviction. That night, the nightmares began. The crew woke, screaming, clutching their heads as they described seeing the same image,

a massive, hollowed-out structure floating in the void, its walls pulsating as though alive. Morris ordered a full diagnosis of the ship's systems, suspecting a shared hallucinetic caused by a toxic or malfunction. But as the scans began, the ship suddenly shuddered violently. Captain Greaves, you have screamed out. We've dropped out of FTL. Something's pulling us off course. Before Mars could respond,

the advertised forward cameras displayed the impossible. The structures from the dream loomed ahead. A mollic ring of dark, glistening material. It rotated slowly, emitting a low guttural hum that seemed to vibrate inside their skulls. Against every instinct screaming at her to flee, Mars ordered the ship closer. We need to understand what this is.

She told her crew, if it's a threat, we have to neutralize it. As they approached, the structure surfaced, wrinkled, forming shapes that resembled faces, human, alien, and something in between. The faces modelled words, but there was no sound. Hart's voice broke the silence. The energy rings are off the charts, Captain. It's like it's alive. Then the lights from the Evertide flickered.

The air grew cold and a metallic scent filled the corridors. Shadows moved where no light source existed. The whispers became deafening. A catcromry of voices overlapped in countless languages. Turn back, one voice said, clear and urgent. Come closer, another countered, a seductive pull. Maris gritted her teeth. We're leaving now.

But the engines refused to ignite. The structure had seized them in an invisible grip, grabbing the ship closer. Grief screamed as his counsel erupted in sparks and he collapsed, his eyes rolling back. When Mars reached him, she saw a single word burned into his skull.

Welcome. As they were pulled into the maw of destruction, Morris realized the truth. This wasn't a decrepit ship or ruin. It was a predator. The Evertide wasn't the first vessel it had captured, nor would it be its last.

Within its walls, the whispers were growing louder. The sympathy of the countless trapped souls the last log from evertide ended abruptly with maurice voice a haunting whisper if you find this don't come looking for us the structure vanished into the void taking evertide and screw with it years later a faint signal was detected from the region of space it was a captain Morris voice repeating the same phrase over and over again we are not alone but we should have been that's pretty interesting all right let's see what else we can do. Let's do... Let's do a different one.

Is there more to the story? Okay. So, let's do... Um... I don't know what to do. Underwater Adventure. Finding

new life. I'm doing an underwater adventure. That's what he comes up with. This is called the Abyssal Bloom. The research submarine Nautilus Deep descended

slowly into the Halladale Zone, the deepest most unexplored region of the Earth's oceans. Dr. Ella Carter, a marine biologist with a reputation of chasing the impossible, sat in the observation desk with her small team. For years they had been following seismic at vast, uncharted trenches below,

even the known abyss. Today, they were finally diving into one of those trenches, the Bloom Trench. It had been nicknamed for the unexpected bloom mistakes detected from satellites. Depth, 10,900 meters, reported Metro. states detected from satellites depth 10 900 meters reported metro and the navigator pressure holding lights coming online as the external flood lights pierced the inky blackness the crew gasped enormous structure resembling coral towers jutted from the seabed, flowing gently in

the shades of blue and green, unlike any coral they'd ever seen. These formations seemed to pulse, as though alive with rhythm. What is this? Ellen whispered, pressing her face against the glass. Matto, take us closer. Look, shouted Kayla, the geologist pointed towards the base of the coral. A school of translucent jellyfish-like creatures squirreled around, their tentacles growing with a golden light. As the Nautilus deep approached the creatures,

swarmed the submarine, their lights dazzling display. They're communicating, Metro said. Awe in his voice. They're reacting to our presence. Ellen quickly activated the bio scans. The data streamed in, revealing that the creatures possessed. The moments were interrupted by a deep, resonant hum.

The coral tower vibrated, sending out waves of light and concentration rings. The creatures around the submarine darted away in unison, as if answering a silent call. A shadow emerged from the depths below, growing larger by the second. Is that a whale? Kayla asked as her voice waved uncertainly. It wasn't the creature that merged. It was a colossal, dwarfing the submarine. Its giant body shimmered like oil on water, shifting colors in memorizing patterns.

The tentacles extended from its sides. Some tipped with the glowing orbs, others lined with fins. Two enormous glowing eyes fixed on the Nautilus deep. It's magnificent, Ella breathed. But she was started, and she realized the creature's glowing patterns matched the seismic abnormalities they had been tracking. It was the source of the signal. The creature opened its mouth, not to attack, but to release a cloud of teeny spores.

The coral tower responded immediately. Their colors intensified in a cascade of light that spread across the trench. They're connected, Metro said. The towers, the creature, it's all part of one ecosystem. Ella nodded. Her scientists cured out of curiosity, battling with the awe she felt. It's like a neural network spanning the entire trench. We found something more than just new life.

It's an underwater civilization. The submarine flickered. A strange hum resonated through the hall as the creature was speaking, not in sound, but in vibration. Kayla's face paled, it scanning us. Before Ellen could respond, the creature's glowing eyes dimmed and began to ascend. Its massive body disappeared into the dark above. The coral tiles dimmed as well. The vibrant light faded to glow. Why is it leaving? Martrose asked.

It was studying us, Ellen said. Her voice tickled the wonder. It knows we're not a threat, maybe. It was curious about us, just as we were about it. The submarine began to ascend. The team remained silent, each lost in thought. They had come seeking life in uncharted depths and found an ecosystem so alien, so interconnected, it defied everything that they thought they knew about Earth. Back on the surface, as the data poured in and the world clamored to hear their story, El knew one

thing for certain. Humanity had much to learn from the deep. And somewhere, far below, the glowing towers and the mystery inhabitants were watching, waiting for their next visitor. I like that one. How's it going? Alright, so that's pretty much my stories for the night. I usually try to pick two. I gotta work on my storytelling.

It's hard to do it because I don't have the complete privacy to kind of do it. I can't really storytell probably like I would like to. And I really haven't done it before so it's just something new that i'm working on as a nightly podcast i'll come up some other ideas but i kind of like doing the stories uh kind of like doing the uh seeing what uh zippy will come up with for

me so we did one about space and then we did one about underwater which is always fun which is kind of like space basically so um so it's a good day and like i said and um i'll see you in the morning and we'll we'll do some groundhog day in the morning i'll talk to you then
