NEWYORKC.BMF
The skyline of New York City at night, with the Statue of Liberty lit up in the foreground. The Twin Towers dominate the background with tyrannical grandeur. Samantha has a sudden premonition, two ravaged steel and concrete husks, hunched over the harbor like a pair of broken spines. She shakes off the vision and ALT-TABs over to Minesweeper.

NEWS.BMF
In 1995 a newscaster in a green suit and tie delivers an urgent report about a forest fire. The inset screen behind him shows a landscape burning orange. He’ll deliver this story every summer for the next 30 years. It will no longer be breaking news by that point. It will be everyday news, paired with the meteorology report. The fire becomes part of the weather.

TRUXTUN.BMF
A profile of the USS Truxtun, a guided missile cruiser in the United States Navy from 1967 to 1995. The Truxtun was the smallest nuclear-powered vessel in the naval fleet. That didn’t stop Admiral Groat from demanding that it be smaller still. I don’t care what it takes, Groat told the R&D folks at Brookhaven. Make. It. Smaller.

MMUFRT.BMF
An illustration of an astronaut in NASA’s manned maneuvering unit, or MMU. The jet propulsion backpack made it possible for space shuttle astronauts to go on untethered space walks. Mission Specialist Bruce McCandless was the first astronaut to use the MMU, on the space shuttle Challenger’s fourth flight, in 1984. McCandless’s face is hidden behind the mirrored visor of the MMU, but one can imagine his transfixed expression as, for a moment, the specter of his dead father flickers in front of him, the stars of a million galaxies shining in the distance.

Today we’re launching Jayce’s Fighting Ships of Wolf 359
A project that began as an idea and became something much bigger: a community-run act of creativity.

The book is now public. It’s yours.

FTBALLHE.BMF
A blue football helmet. Not exactly like Lou’s varsity helmet all those years ago. Different color, no bulldog mascot on the side. Still, it jogs a—if not a memory, then at least a sensation in Lou’s mind. That’s the funny thing about a concussion. It’s like throwing a stone into a pond, and however far the ripples extend, that’s what you don’t remember. The time before the crushing impact. The time after, in the hospital. All blank. Lou lying in the dark, afraid of light and sound.

SIMUL.BMF
The exterior of a military-grade flight simulator, showing the sealed cockpit, the support platform that tilts and pivots to simulate flight movement, and a series of power and data cables. This particular simulator, housed at a U.S. Air Force black ops site in Greenland, sits empty and forsaken, stripped of its parts by unknown indwellers. The only evidence of its final training sim is spraypainted in red outside the cockpit door: CUTTY SOAMES IS HERE.
