In SPAAAACE [echo]

[madmeemey]

the space opera (au?) meme

Space Opera refers to works set in a spacefaring civilization, usually set in the far future or A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Far Far Away.... Technology is ubiquitous and secondary to the story. Space opera has an epic character to it: the universe is big, there are usually many sprawling civilizations and empires, there are political conflicts and intrigue.

Prompts

1. Slice of Spacefaring Life
It's life, but on a spaceship! An interstellar journey could take hundreds of years, so you have some time to relax and take it easy. Do a little aeroponic gardening, enjoy stargazing from the bar, or immerse yourself in studying the latest nebula you're passing through.

2. R&R
After being cooped up for days, weeks, or years, you and the crew are finally sliding into the nearest space station, colony, or commercial hub for a little break. Enjoy shopping, restaurants, and resorts!

3. Space Piracy
You're a bit of a rogue, but you like the independent life cruising among the stars and taking whatever you can find. It's only a crime if you get caught, right?

4. Space Military
Perhaps you're on the opposite end of the spectrum, and you prefer tight-laced uniforms and adherence to regulation. Enjoy political intrigue, internal and external strife, morally dubious empire building, and mecha battles!

5. Sleeper Ship
You're on a very long journey, so long that most if not all of the crew have been put on ice for the trip. Whether by accident or design, you're awake - is anyone else up?

6. Emergency!
Something has gone wrong! Your colony is under attack, or maybe the hull of your ship has been blown out by a passing asteroid. Can you repair the warp drive in time?!

7. Arrival
At long last, solid ground! Get out there, it's a brand new (or new to you) planet or colony to explore! Maybe even a new species to meet or civilization to study. You're not wearing a red shirt, are you?

8. Intergalactic Bar
Your standard hive of scum and villainy.

9. Space Brothel
What it says on the tin. Get your xeno on!

10. Wildcard
Anything goes!

[He’s from a space opera.]

[codenametesla]

[I don't know why this made me laugh so hard but it did. XD a+]

[desertpowered]

[How about a space date? That would be fun.]

[codenametesla]

[Ahaha, don't tell her it's a date, she'll get super nervous, but yes! That sounds very fun!]

[desertpowered]

[How about Paul invites her to a space bar for dinner and conversation? Not a date. :) ]

Cassie Cage | Mortal Kombat | OTA

[nutkrusher]

[Plucky heroine with a blaster pistol and bare midriff.]

[desertpowered]

[Space bar? That could be fun.]

[nutkrusher]

[Sure, were you thinking of just a plain space hookup, or some space opera spy and mercenary action?]

[desertpowered]

[Either’s fun, but I like the idea of a space hookup. Paul’s invitation?]

Eddie Brock/Venom | Venom (movies) | OTA

Brook | I'm the Grim Reaper

[reaperrabbit]

[He could be a young bounty hunter working off a debt he won't talk about, or indentured in some other way to space pirates, other unsavory types, or what have you. Not interested in the space brothel prompt or other smutty situations for him, thanks.]

Obi-Wan Kenobi | Star Wars

Also voicetesting.]

Telrim | Animorphs oc | ota

[inside_job]

[ (Re-)voicetesting a bodysnatching alien invader who's in it for the retirement benefits. Blatant morally dubious reprehensible empire-building is already her day job, but maybe she's helping stealthily scout a new planet for conquest or stopping by at a neutral station for some discreet trading with some unauthorized R&R thrown in. Got to blend in with the locals! ]
