Icebox: Decompression

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

On December 9th, 2470, the Interstellar Population Transport and Terraform vessel ISPT-8 (designationSequoia”) departed from Lunar Dock Alpha. Like others of its kind, the starship carried some eight thousand passengers towards their new home among the stars. The Sequoia was bound for the Earth-class planet PM-6272 (also known as Metis-3), the most distant world to date to host a new colony of emigrants from Earth.

To survive the projected five centuries of space travel, the crew and other inhabitants of the Sequoia operated on a staggered schedule of cryosleep. This regimen of suspended animation would prolong their lives, and stave off the boredom and inevitable madness that such a long journey would normally induce. Crew returning to duty from cryosleep are required to spend several hours in a “decompression lounge”, to allow their bodies and minds to re-acclimate themselves to a waking state.

Approximately sixty years into the five hundred year voyage, something went terribly wrong.

Now, in the distant future, the “black box” records of the Sequoia, along with the ship’s AI controller and interface, URSA—collectively referred to as the “Icebox”—have been recovered. What follows is a series of logged recordings from the Manhattan Deck decompression lounge. Perhaps some indication of the events which precipitated the Sequoia’s course deviation and eventual collapse will be found therein.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
