Seems Asimov has less patience for Zed than ever. I wonder why?
Marooned Books
New Readers
Captain John and his robot Asimov have been stranded on Mars for quite some time. In episode 8, “Brains From Another Planet,” we met Zed of the Baro, who is a master of technology. Unfortunately, his communal brain upbringing leaves him with very little common sense.
John has asked Zed to help repair and fuel his rocket so he and Asimov can return to Earth, where Lian Fisher (also known as The Hearing One) a woman captain who crashed on Mars 15 years earlier, has discovered that both Mars missions have been sabotaged by insiders
Meanwhile, John, Zed and Asimov are attempting to retrieve part of Zed’s wrecked ship which may have some technology that will allow John’s ship to fly – and to get him home to Earth.

John and Asimov just canโt fathom that kind of human-robot dynamic.
New Readers
A new story has just started. All you need to know is that Captain John, and the woman, Lian, have been stranded on Mars by the NFF (A future NASA type organization.) For a full introduction, watch the video on the new readers page!

New Episode.
Edit: As Og mentioned, you really should listen to the Marooned theme song at the beginning of an episode! Here it is again
New Readers
If you are a new reader, you have jumped in at the perfect time. Episode 9 is just beginning. Sit back and enjoy the story!
If you want to be fully informed, you can start reading from the beginning.
You can also read Episodes in full-screen mode without digging through the archive!

And now we know why Silex and Lian didn’t want the Krosa to get the stones back! Yikes! Hey, we’re more than halfway through the story, and only 4 weeks away from the final chapter!
Things you might have missed in the blog last week:
A couple of the higher level rewards were to allow you to have your name printed in the book as a supporter. But I wanted to do it in a fun way. So what I came up with is the Captains/Admirals register. You get your name in the book as an NFF captain or admiral, PLUS you get to have your own fictional ship name along with it as well! (Subject to my approval, must be in the realm of good taste, etc.)
So you’ll be listed as a real captain/admiral in the NFF!
Example – if we used Captain John, his line would read “Captain John Floyd – Destiny II.”
The names will be printed in the back of the book under the appropriate header.
Do you want a printed version of the “Spare Parts” book?
During the week I asked about who would like a printed version of the bonus book. Basically I need at least around 15 people to really want it to include it in the Kickstarter. So far, we are well short of that goal. Speak up here if you’d want that and let me know

LASTLY!
Please vote in the poll if you haven’t already, to let me know if you plan on supporting the Kickstarter. I will say the numbers are coming in a bit low. Not sure if that is people not voting, not seeing the poll, or really not interested. Thanks!
Do you plan on supporting the Kickstarter Marooned book this summer?
