Gooday Gaming Guests - Project Journey Man The Beginning

Episode Date: December 1, 2024

The Start of a Story after a few drafts but far from the way it will be told.

So today, I spent the day with AI learning about different kinds of AI creativity websites out there. And I also sat with AI today, Zippy, I call him. And I helped him me create a story and then I used some of his advice to pick a website that I could kind of make a story from text into almost like a short so we're gonna read a little bit sorry so what I did is the website I picked was called a whole army from David now there's a whole bunch of stuff I learned today just ask you know mostly just window shopping because every site that you pick or go to wants you to subscribe. And that's another $30 there. So I didn't subscribe to anything yet.

I did like the one I found. And so on my YouTube now, I have this short little movie storyboardboard but not really you can throw a voice in and it puts some sort of random like video but not really but it's kind of fun though so what was it called on if I never now I saw the idea I have for a book since I've had for a while and we'll call on it the project journeyman and I went through several ideas with zippy from the start of it and i kept adding stuff i still am adding a lot more stuff to it but my third draft was kind of more on project to on point where i wanted to go so let's see if

we can but i mean it just it's just a start but all you all you have to do is give Zippy just any little bit of an idea, and it just goes crazy with stories for you. I had to tell it to slow down because we were going too far. So there's a back story to it. All right, so we're calling this the Project Journeyman. But let's find the name of that other site we were talking about oh so let's try three or four different ways I wanted to do it and then I see Let's see... That's a backstory. So first just a main story as it begins.

Let's find out where that is now. That's a lot of the backstory. So you made the character name which I could change. I called him Dusty which is actually pretty cool. So it taught us the back story. So let's set the stage scene for a little bit. I kind of know if I can get to it. So what I did on YouTube is I have a little short of the first one.

First idea and then I did a little longer one. A little bit of it updated to a little bit better. And then I did a third. It's kind of how I was looking to do it okay there bridge of hope okay okay so project journeyman tagline a lone beacon adrift

in the darkness endless dark a bridge built on sacrifice drifting towards a future we might never see. Then the prologue. In the early days, Project Journeyman was an act of desperation. The planners of the project knew that humanity had to look beyond Earth,

that they had to extend their reach into the vast unknown, even if it meant doing so without guarantees or grand technology. The capsules were rudimentaryary nothing more than reinforced rafts with enough life support to sustain a person as long as their supplies held out there was no propulsion, no hope of staring towards the destination the journeymen who boarded them were volunteers

who understood exactly what that meant that they were adrift, forever floating, their only chance at making a mark being the beacon they carried. Is that the one I wanted to do? Hold on. I've redone it a few times. That was the fourth draft,

so we're going to go back to the third draft. We'll come back to the fourth draft. I like the third draft. The'll come back to the fourth draft. I like the third draft. The fourth draft's actually even better, but... Eh, maybe we'll stick with the fourth draft. Because what he would do is he'd give me basically like a whole

book almost, and then I was like, nah, I want to do this. Okay. okay so I got so much information from it's like five books in one what was I just at now alright let's start over again the secret legacy of humanity reaches beyond Earth, a journey built in shadows, not ready

to bridge the stars. Prologue The Hidden Cargo The International Space Station had always been a symbol of unity, of nations coming together to reach beyond the limits of Earth. What the world didn't know, however, was that the spaceship was also a key in a much larger and secretive project. A project that spanned decades, hidden from the public eye.

Every shuttle that launched, every resupply mission to the ISS carried with it something more than just scientific equipment and supplies. Each trip to the space station brought a secret cargo, a piece of a greater plan that had been set in motion long ago by those who feared that Earth was vulnerable, that humanity could not afford to keep all its eggs in one basket, fragile basket. These hidden pieces, quietly assembled in orbit,

formed the foundation of Project Journeyman, a project designed to carry humanity's legacy beyond Earth one journey at a time. Chapter 1. The Decade-Long Secret Ray Dusty Camden had never imagined he would be part of anything so grand. He lived his life in the shadows, a series of wrong choices leading him to rock bottom. But now, as he prepared for his runway journey into the vastness of space, he learned the truth about the project he had volunteered for, a truth that had been hidden from the world for decades.

The idea of Project Journeyman had started years ago, before Dusty was even born. The first plans were drawn up by scientists and visionaries who feared that Earth's future was uncertain. They wanted to create a bridge to the stars, a way to extend humanity, even if it meant great sacrifice. They knew that such an undertaking would be would never be accepted by the public. So they worked in secret, building the pieces bit by bit. Every shuttle that launched

to the International Space Station carried within one of those pieces components that would eventually be used to construct something far greater. The space station itself was a front, a cover for the assembly of the first January Man's capsules. small one man spacecraft designed for deep space travel equipped with beacons and a journal to document their journey the birth of the project man the capsule were built in secret one by one their parts ferried to the ISS under disguises of routine missions.

The astronaut aboard the space station had no idea that the supplies they were unloading contained the beginnings of humanity's first deep space vessels. Each part was carefully stored, assembled in hidden sections of stations away from prying eyes. The project was classified at the highest levels not only to secret selected few who believed

in its necessity. When the capsules were finally ready they were launched quietly. The missions unannounced. The first journeymen were not heroes in the traditional sense. They were volunteers who knew they would never return. People had nothing left to lose but everything to give. Their task was to venture into the unknown, to be the first steps in the bridge that would carry humanity to the stars. They were the foundation of the Project Journeyman,

and each of them carried with them the hopes of those who had planned in secret so many years ago. Chapter 3 Dusty's Turn Dusty never imagined he would end up in space. He had spent his life on the fringes. A man who failed at almost everything he tried. But when he learned about the Project Journeyman, he felt something stir inside him.

This was his chance to be part of something bigger. To give back and do something meaningful. The project had evolved since the first missions. Technology had advanced and now hypersleep was available, something the early journeymen could never have imagined. Dusty was given a chance that others hadn't had to go further, to use hypersleep to conserve resources and to bridge the gap between those who had come before and wherever they lay ahead. Chapter 4. The Hidden Legacy

As Dusty sat in this capsule preparing for launch he thought about the decades of secrecy that led him to this moment the capsules the beacons the journals each of them part of a bigger plan It began long before Dusty had ever been born.

The people who had conceived the Project Journeyman had known that it would take generations to see their vision realized. They had hidden their work piece by piece in the space station above, and now all those years of secrecy were coming to fruition. Dusty felt the weight of the legacy as the countdown began. He knew he was not just a man escaping a failed life. He was part of a story that had not been written yet. Feeling the connection to those who had come before him, he was not alone. He was part of the bridge that had been built for over decades,

each journeyman adding their own chapter to the story. Dusty's mission was clear, to continue the journey, to gather the knowledge of those who had come before, and to extend the bridge even further. The capsules were the hidden cargo, the legacy of the space station. Dusty was determined to carry out that legacy forward. He activated the beacon, sending out a call into darkness,

hoping to find the other capsules, to gather their stories, their discoveries, their sacrifices. Chapter 7 The Bridge to the Future As Dusty approached the next beacon, he felt a sense of peace. He had done what he had set out to do. He continued the work that began in secrecy

so many years ago. The capsules, the journals, the beacons, they were all part of the Project Journeyman, a project that had been hidden from the world, but that now held the promise of a future among the stars. Dusty knew his time was limited, but he also knew he had played his part. He was a bridge between those who had faced certain death and the future that lied ahead. As he wrote his final entry in the journal, Dusty felt a sense of pride. He was given everything, just as those before him had done and now it was up to those to come

after to journey with him as well and his note was to those who find this we were here we built this bridge one piece at a time. In secret. In hope. Take it. Carry it forward. Keep reaching for the stars. And know that we were here.

Alright. So that's where I kind of went. And then. I added more to it. Oh oh I added a twist to it breaches to the stars paid in paid for in secret sacrifice and one powerful legacy. Prologue, The Hidden Benefactor. So this is an updated version of the story. Project Jeremy was not just a dream of scientists and visionaries.

It was also fueled by the will and wealth of a single individual, a figure of immense influence who believed that humanity's survival was worth any course. This benefactor was not a public figure, not someone who sought attention or recognition, but to contribute to the project was like anything anyone could imagine. In the early days of the project, when funding was scarce and the public support was non-existent, this individual stepped forward. They provided the financial needs to move forward, their wealth ensuring that the hidden cargo continued to be ferried to the space station, that the capsules were built, and that the project had resources it needed to succeed.

But the most remarkable part of the continuation was not their money. It was their body. They were terminally ill, but their belief in Project Journeyman was unwavering. They wanted to be part of humanity's journey into the stars, even if it meant becoming a symbol of sacrifice. They volunteered to be one of the first journeymen,

offering not just their wealth, but their very body to the cause. Their decision was shrouded in secrecy. Only the highest levels of those involved in the project. When the time came, they boarded the capsule knowing they would never return. Their bodies descended, become part of a legacy

that helped to create. So, yeah, so I upgraded to, I wanted to add the fact that there was actually you know people donating that's all they started with it so then we started a new chapter after that I'm still working on still work progress but the concept is kind of there. It's called Project Journeyman. There's a couple of different revisions here. As I add more stuff. More ideas.

Let's see. Yes, that's another. There's probably three or four more versions of this story. With more details that I wanted to put in there. So, that's my project I'm working on, which is

Project Journeyman. And maybe I'll throw a couple more episodes that are newer on my YouTube tomorrow. All right, everyone have a good day.
