    BONUS: Ode to the Day the Starstrider Avoided an Asteroid - A Poem By Saph

    13/11/2024 | 2 mins.
    The full version of Saph's interrupted poem from 3x10! See below for written version of the poem.

    Ode to the Day the Starstrider Avoided an Asteroid - A Poem by Saph

    Written by Francesca Mylod-Ford

    Performed by Rosie Curry

    Whilst observing in the mess hall,

    Utilising perfect recall,

    And preparing for an asteroid collision

    I percieve a fight recurring

    (Though the engines keep on whirring)

    So I plan out all responses with precision.

    Quoth the Captain: "It's an issue

    For our hull will crunch like tissue

    If we try with an uneven distribution."

    Quoth the Doctor: "It's appalling

    But still better than forestalling

    And we cannot find another substitution."

    All the Crew is getting nervous,

    No one offering their service,

    And they are in desperate need of a logician.

    Now I know that I am needed

    For their intellect's exceeded;

    They require my own superior cognition.

    Quoth the AI: "I'll assist you,

    And I know you won't resist to

    My solution to your engine contradiction.

    "For your problem's in the wiring

    Periodically firing.

    If you reset this, you will prove my small prediction."

    The Technician did the reset

    Which returned it to its preset

    And the engines roared again without resistance.

    With the asteroid evaded

    And congratulations traded

    The Crew celebrated the AI's persistance.

    Quoth the Crew: "Your cogitation

    Rescued us from our damnation

    When the hope we had was but a glowing ember.

    "Is there a gift that we may give?

    For you ensured we all would live."

    Quoth the AI: "Only that you would remember."
