Just the past year? Well. Life on an interstellar spaceship is never dull. Do you want to hear about the Klingon-Federation war? The time we spent in an alternate, evil universe? Discovering that our captain was from that alternate, evil universe? The part where my insane genius of a partner genetically altered himself with space tardigrade DNA so he could guide our ship through the mycelial network he'd discovered?

Don't forget the part where we came across a giant spherical lifeform at the end of it's life, which shared with us the knowledge it had gathered from thousands of galaxies and millions of civilizations-- knowledge which put our ship in the sights of a rogue AI that was ready to destroy us and all life in the universe if it meant gaining access to it. So, naturally, we decided to jump almost a thousand years into an unknown future, sacrificing everything we'd known in order to save everyone and every thing we ever loved.
