Suy Duj vImuv net jalchugh... (If I were to join a merchant vessel...)
bIghHa' Duj vImuv net jalchugh... (If I were to join a prison ship...)
QeD Duj vImuv net jalchugh... (If I were to join a science vessel...)
These are the exciting possibilities that we explore in today's song.
Fun fact, there are actually far more than just three verses to this song, based on the pieces I found going through my head last October. I counted at least eight distinct verses, as well as some different variations of the same imaginary adventures. But I decided to keep it limited to three, both because the song gets repetitive and also because it takes me forever to make these videos.
One verse that I really wanted to include was 'ejyo' vImuv net jalchugh... (If I were to join Starfleet...), but every time I tried to draw a picture for it, my computer *mysteriously* restarted and the autosave function *mysteriously* failed, indicating to me that someone is not too proud of having even had the idea of joining Starfleet.
There's not too much more to say about this one, so with no further ado, I leave you with today's video, and afterwards, a little excerpt from my Suchtuv QonoS (dream journal)-- the first entry about the mysterious helmeted figure from the end of the video.
