We are currently travelling at slightly under the speed of light on this routine scientific flight. We will shortly be passing through the Cosmic Nebula which you will be able to see through the starboard portholes.

I would like to draw civillian passengers' attention to the safety procedures and in-flight entertainment. In the unlikely event of us entering a temporal vortex or being affected by the gravitational field of a black hole, please make your way to the escape capsules which are located in the foyer area. If we have passed the event horizon by the time the warining signs come on, please remain in your seats and our crew will instruct you further.

This ship has a full range of leisure facilities, including a fully functional replica of a 20th century 'cafe and bar'. This feature is generated by a bank of holographic replicators, though this should not affect the taste and nutritional value of any historical products purchased.

I realise you had a choice of operators for this quasi-stellar intergalactic journey to the furthest reaches of known existence, and I thank you for deciding to travel with us.

Enjoy your flight

Captain Tempest
