The Probe, Act I

  Captain’s log: Stardate 22720101  I attended the New Year’s Eve party organized by my XO. The emotions in the lounge were stimulating. My empathic abilities told me that everyone enjoyed themselves to their individual comfort levels. Except a pair of young, human Cadets who seemed fearful of unexplored sexuality and were hesitant to act on obvious mutual attractions. I still fail to understand human prudishness. However, I digress, Command has sent us to compile a linguistic database from an alien probe that appeared out of warp in the Barnard Star system. Upon entering the system, the probe began transmitting a basic mathematical equation on a wideband subspace frequency. Command feels that this is a prelude to first contact. We have been sent to the Barnard Star system to compile a linguistic database and use it to craft a reply. The Persephone having the most sophisticated communications array in the fleet Command feels we will be uniquely suited for this task. Although, ...

The Ashlars

  In Lodge we are shown two ashlars. One that is rough cut and one with clean lines and nicely polished. We are told that the rough cut stone represents us as we are and the perfect one represents a goal. We are to make daily marks on our ashlars, attempting to bring it closer to the example of perfection. An ashlar is a piece of stone, quarried and refined, usually cuboid, but not always, which has been cut precisely to fit into a particular structure or to coincide with a specific architectural plan. The ashlar was quarried and arrived on the work site as a rough cut stone, or rough ashlar, which was brought to a fine finish by the stone Masons on site. The apprentices would have been given stones that were not as complicated. The intricate work would have been completed by the more experienced craftsmen.  In ritual we are taught that the rough ashlar is for the Entered Apprentice to mark and indent upon, i.e. chip away at. I see this symbol as the work we are called, as Mas...
