[Intro: Sound of a mechanical printer whirring and a rhythmic 'click-clack' of a keyboard] [Station One Auditor: Spoken, monotone] File: Dramatica. Status: Reviewed. Notes: This is either a brilliant work of fiction or a total administrative collapse. Cross-referencing logs now. [Verse 1: Clinical and Pulse-driven] We’ve reviewed the medical files from a Nurse "Bianca" The tone is unprofessional, the data is a hanker. She lists "Existential Dread" as a physical wound And says the mental health of the crew is "technically impugned." She’s diagnosing pipes and treating ghosts in the hall While the Chief Medical Officer... doesn't exist at all? It’s a chaotic mess of sarcasm and sutures Hardly a standard for our interstellar futures. [Verse 2: Heavy Bass and Industrial Clangs] Then we move to Engineering—a "Claudia" is the lead Her maintenance records are quite difficult to read. Half of them are written in a Spanish-pirate tongue About a "Manifold from Hell" and a reactor that’s been wrung. She reports the hull is held by "Duct-tape and Spite" Yet the ship’s efficiency is reaching a new height? The math doesn't match the aggression in her logs She’s running a palace with the budget of hogs. [Pre-Chorus: Tense Orchestral Swell] And the psychology report? Station One is concerned. A "Doctor Tarz" says the lessons haven't been learned. He spent sixty pages on the "Psychosis of a Tail" While the rest of the crew is remarkably frail. [Chorus: Grand and Authoritative] Captain, come in! Your reports are a blur! The data is barking but you only ever purr! The ship is a wreck but the credit-line is vast How long do you think this charade is gonna last? The medical’s mad, the engineering is screams Is the Dramatica real, or a fever of dreams? [Verse 3: Minimalist and Suspicious] Now we look at the funding—this "Foundation" on the side. A cruise-liner enterprise? Where does the money hide? Why is a luxury shell company paying for your fuel? While you’re flying a bucket and breaking every rule? And "Captain"... we’ve noticed your voice is quite strange. The frequency and cadence never seem to change. You’re never on the bridge when we hail for a scan Are we talking to a leader... or a pre-recorded man? [Bridge: Spoken over Glitchy Beat] [Auditor]: Log 88-Alpha. Final observation: The Captain’s door is locked. Remote sensors indicate... No biological heat signature in the command quarters. Only a high-density server rack and the smell of expensive perfume. Very expensive. Laizer-Brand "Signature Silk." Why does a freighter captain smell like a billionaire’s daughter? [Chorus: Grand and Authoritative] Captain, come in! Your reports are a blur! The data is barking but you only ever purr! The ship is a wreck but the credit-line is vast How long do you think this charade is gonna last? The medical’s mad, the engineering is screams Is the Dramatica real, or a fever of dreams? [Outro: Spoken] [Sound of: A digital "FAILED" stamp chime] Report Status: Rejected. Reason: Lack of a tangible Captain. Send an inspection team to the next jump-gate. And tell the Navigator to stop using Foundation credits for martini olives. It’s... noticeable. [Sound of: Powering down hum] [End]
