Mothership (mo'th er ship)

The Mothership is 2042 years old. It started as a singular ship, and the first DroneSlugs were professional baseball players who crossed the picket lines during the thirty-seventh Major League Baseball Strike of the third millennium.  When the dispute ended, these players were sent to the asteroid belt to work in the mines of Ceres. Using bats and hammers and explosives and their helmets, they smashed and stacked rocks. Smashing and stacking rocks is now a form of recreation for DroneSlugs, especially for those without the ability to experience joy in the PleasureBubble.

DroneSlug (dro' n sl ug)

When one joins the Mothership, he or she must sign a 20-year agreement. DroneSlugs can join at any age. The Mothership welcomes all beings, regardless of race, species, religious background, sex, or level of intelligence.

DronePetPug (dro' n p et p ug)

DronePetPugs or Portable Utility Guides are 93 percent machine and seven percent organic. They have self-awareness, which has given them delusions of grandeur. Each DroneSlug receives his own DronePetPug upon joining. DronePetPugs are self-replicating. This means they have taken over the design and construction of all DronePetPugs. They run their own factories and program their own software. These factories are funded by the Mothership. The Mothership believes these companions offer solace and friendship to the DroneSlugs; thus keeping the DroneSlugs relatively docile and their suicidal tendencies down to an acceptable rate.
