Here is an alien rideshare for #trippythursday by
Here is a vintage scout craft called to a backwoods planet by a wayward light being.
This is a rural planet with low 1000g coverage so the only signal that could call the rideshare was ham radio. Thus a 1950s era vintage scout craft was the only driver to get a call to pickup this hillbilly.
Fortunately the scout craft just got tuned up to various atmospheres at the local wormhole mechanic depot. You have to put them through various fractal radiation stress tests to make sure they don't end up crashed on earth somewhere in New Mexico.
The integrity of the metal alloy all checks out as well. This antique is ready for action.
Everything is vintage on this craft except for the tractor beam. It has been outfitted with the latest starburst technology to make sure those nasty cattle mutilation explosions don't accidentally happen to various customers.
The ship can manifest a pretty powerful gravity field to keep it hovering in place while picking up its guests. Gotta keep those 5 stars in place on the app.
The vintage static accelerator is one of the only ones left working. It is a rather chaotic form of electricity that can cause the ship to shoot instantaneously to a location around a hundred feet away. This is useful for escaping primitive lead projectiles from ape-like creatures.
This particular alien customer has an electricity aura that is dangerous to most other lifeforms so the ship's captain will need to be sure to bring out his lead suit during transit.
The ship has also been refueled with the latest plasma energy, this should last for about another 1,000 years or so.
The plant life on this particular planet is all poisonous with needles that contain toxins that will cause you to pass out.
The only thing that can counteract this toxin is purple light radiation that causes the molecules to breakdown before they get into your body. The only side effect is a gas that causes hallucinations.
Most people who inhale too much of this gas will see purple fractal domes. The effect lasts for about 200 years with flashbacks happening randomly, especially during business interviews. Such are the risks for an intergalactic rideshare driver.
Happy #trippythursday :-)
