Recovered metadata – (top-level) commentary [identified vespa magna coetus individuals]
[IVY101] Exploratory Fleet (E.F.) Command is the 1st known entity that will utilize warpways –
– The only known buzzit way to get to the buzzit stars and buzzit back again [25T4RS]
[IVY103] Warpways shall link star systems via planet & star/moon unstable Lagrange points –
– We’re buzzit all just differently stable [PM145U]
[IVY107] The E.F. mission is to connect warpways at every L1, L2, & L3 in the solar system –
– 8 planets plus 19 viable moons plus 6 viable dwarfs all multiplied by 3 [M4TH99]
[IVY109] E.F. recruits are volunteers who pledge their full cred stipends to funding operations –
– A cooperative buy-in for easy-to-fleece would-be explorers [3X91OR]
[IVY113] E.F. will contract Managing Artificial Intelligences (M.A.I.) from operating funds –
– Bio’s get free creds to pay for jobs but A.I.’s work for creds to pay for life [4IFR33]
[IVY127] Before the design of an E.F. ship a synergistic crew is drawn from available recruits –
– Some fool’s idea of synergy was putting “undesirable” crewmates together [LOL101]
[IVY131] E.F. crews are streamlined with 3-7 essential roles depending on individual skills –
– When “high” skilled are grouped in small crews only an idiot admits to competence [01DI0T]

[IVY137] E.F. resource allocation is administered by the M.A.I.s using a committee formula –
– Little-mostly-harmless us volunteered for the resource allocation committee [I5M41L]
[IVY139] With fair resource division the 99 spaceships of the 1st E.F. have various designs –
– We, 351,519,000 wasps at a mean 0.2 grams, took 39% of ALL allocated resources [15HUG3]
[IVY149] The Insurmountable Odds (I.O.) is our spaceship and our own outstanding design –
– We owe no one else buzzit anything [N001ME]
[IVY151] The I.O. is capable of planning, generating, and traversing warpway connections –
– The connections are bound to be a bit buzzit random, but We can always backtrack [TR4V31]
[IVY157] Fore and aft negative mass coils give the I.O. inertial dampening and 0 gravity mass –
– They let her buzzit glide up gravity wells [E11MC2]
[IVY163] At mid-ship of the I.O. the spin-gravity habitat ring is in the inertial dampened zone –
– It keeps the normies on the buzzit surface [8U2ZI7]
[IVY167] The I.O. habitat ring contains life-support, crew facilities, and recreational areas–
– Ah, the sanctum where We receive tribute and grace the peasants with our presence [QU33N5]
[IVY173] Passing through and connecting the 3 rings with spokes is the I.O. central fuselage –
– The buzzit backbone, where We grind away, holding every piece in place [3NG1N3]
[IVY179] An ionized hydrogen electromagnetic fuel scoop is at the fore of the I.O. fuselage –
– It will help on long trips once We get out of range of the nearest gas station [FU3L00]
[IVY181] Electromagnetic confinement pulse fusion engines are at the aft of the I.O. fuselage –
– They make us go buzzit zoom [200OOM]
[IVY191] Across the hull of the I.O. are various passive and active sensors and coms tech –
– We wasps will watch wonders, but which wonders will watch the watch wasps [W47CH5]
[IVY193] Launch bays on the I.O. have lander-to-launch shuttles for planetary excursions –
– Daily safety reminder, We may naturally fly but We’re not naturally shuttle pilots [0CR45H]
[IVY197] Drone bays on the I.O. can launch probes for sample return or mineral extraction –
–We’ll strip the cosmos bare and claim it buzzit all for ourselves [C05M0S]
[IVY199] The high energy facilities of the I.O. can produce short half-life isotopes and exotics –
– Who cares about half-lives when We can live it up in the now [3X0T1C]
[IVY211] The I.O. has full onboard assembly and maintenance facilities for inflight upgrades –
– Let’s buzzit vote on if We should even bother coming back [V0T3N0]
