Professor Quinn's ship was a trim blue small-crew freighter. The name, according to the computer at the docking gate, was Expression of Gratitude to the Capital City of My Homeland.

"Expression of Gratitude to the Capital City of My Homeland?" said Lyndy. "The name's larger than the ship is!"

"There's a story there," said Professor Quinn. "But I'm not going to tell you if you're going to be like that about it."

"Oh, go on," said Lyndy. "With a name like that, this is clearly a NaNoWriMo draft. Lengthy anecdotes are a cheap way to bump up the word count."

(I'm not doing NaNoWriMo this year. But if my brain is going to keep handing me ship names like that, maybe I should.)
