  • Travel in good health!
    Our wishes for this Voyager seated amidst the detritus of a Bak-ian landscape.
    Fragments of dice and targets litter the terrain of loss and chance.
    Birds of flight and freedom add to this chaotic scene.

    Will the Voyage be able to fly away from this scene of brokenness?
    To where?
    Is there a future?
    All presented in beautiful color the idle chimneys in the background do serve as a reminder of what has happened.

    Beauty and hope.
    Brokenness and tragedy.
    Time to go!
