    Fem Fighters

    Fem-fighters Galatia 9 & Brucilla the Muscle.

    Fem-Fighters

    Originally verbal shorthand for any active member of The United Federation of Female Freedom Fighters—a union for female mercenary spacers of either the martial or the cargo-carrying sort—the term “Fem-Fighter” has also come to mean any female of destructive, belligerent, quick-tempered or otherwise “uppity” character. For a brief time during Pre-Change AnarchEra, this moniker attached itself exclusively to U4F Captain Galatia 9 and her partner-in-discord Brucilla the Muscle, formerly a Lieutenant in the Amercadian Space Brigade. Between them, this pair of so-called Fem-Fighters breached the hull of Rec Station 97 with a 200 megamilo platinum-bearing asteroid, caused the bottom to drop out of the Station’s platinum market, destroyed a large section of posh Blue Heaven Level with a shooting exposition designed to fleece gold-holders, participated in a gunfight in which real bullets were involved, instigated a riot by pitting their fans against the Station Rec Pols, destroyed a Station blast tube by deploying Acme-Ashmun force shields before exiting the tube, caused general mayhem resulting in several deaths by engaging in a melee with a battle formation of Brigade Tigers (though this last was later adjudicated and the Brigade found to have been at fault), and left unpaid bar bills at numerous establishments throughout the Vale of Tiers.

    Ferret

    1) A domesticated variety of polecat, a mammal similar to the Amercadian weasel, known for driving small prey animals out of their burrows. 2) A news reporter, though sometimes merely a news presenter. 3) A noos (infotainment) reporter, most famously popular correspondents from Rootersnoos service, the parent company of Rec Station Noos.

    Fish

    1) A cold-blooded, aquatic vertebrate, having gills, usually fins, and typically, an elongated body covered with scales; 2) to catch or attempt to catch said cold-blooded, aquatic vertebrate; 3) to search through or draw out, as by fishing; 4) either an endearment or racial slur used to designate an Aguatunesian empath, depending upon the relationship of user to empath, or the tone in which the appellation is voiced; 5) any one of three shuttlecraft owned by Hugo Award-winning author, Ronnie Lee Ellis, and attached to her private ship, the Red Herring.

    Aguatunesian Empaths or “Fish”

    Free Will

    The somewhat outmoded idea that humans, or indeed members of any humanoid or sentient race, have the ability to make a reasoned choice, under their own power, and might also be willing and able to act on that choice. As mentioned, the idea is outmoded.

    Freebetters Room

    The VIP room of VIP rooms, part of the very upscale casino in The Dome, Rec Station 97, where Star-Hoppers, High Muckety-Mucks, and big-spending members of the Gold Card Class bet freely on the outcome of whatever war, skirmish, sporting event, chance meeting or random happening may be taking place in their vicinity or beyond. Fortunes have been lost, lives ruined, deals sealed and strange bedfellows made, as the dice keep rolling on and the chips continue to fall where they may. The Freebetters’ Room was built around The Dome’s WALKING ON DEPOT® and the club allows their customers to place bets on “who’ll materialize next” as a means to defray part of the tremendous cost of that service.

    From the Belts of La Belle Bayou

    A favorite among members of the Acadian Non-Brigade, the song “From the Belts of La Belle Bayou” features lyrics by Non-Brigade Colonel, Marie-George Saint Le Goff, set to a traditional Acadian-Amercadian tune. The song tells the story of a lonely Non-Brigader assigned to a starship traveling in regions of the Multiverse with little humanoid habitation, who meets an Acadian Creole girl aboard a passing ship who loves, but quickly leaves him. This plaintive song of lost love is comprised of 127 verses. As there are numerous versions of the aforementioned 127 verses, with dedicated adherents to each version of each verse, we will limit ourselves to offering the first, about which there is little argument:

    Shipped out on a navire étoile,
    Into L étoilé de void.
    I slept alone for cycles,
    Non compagnie enjoyed!
    All aliens, non Acadians,
    ‘Til a dark girl toward me flew,
    And I fell in love with une Creole Girl,
    From the Belts of La Belle Bayou!
