The journey to the command and control center had not been easy but Junitha Findragon made it. The command crew on staff at the time were scattered all about sitting in corners or trying to remember how to type or humming a tune.
“You guys keep doing whatever,” said Junitha, “I got work to do.”
She accessed the communication grid and sent out the call to every communication terminal in the ship. All over the Daedlus they lit up. Throughout the ship Junitha’s voice was heard, “attention all crazy people and people who still have their shit together.”
Junitha smiled. Tiny electric currents moved in her eyes. She began to sing.
All the leaves are brown,
And the sky is gray
The song was heard in the commissary. The mob became calm and joined in the tune.
I’ve been for a walk,
On a winter’s day
All over the ship people sang the song together. The madness had been driven out. The Daedlus sailed onward through the stars with music.
