The Borf's Discordia

They used to be something else. Something uniform. Something that thought with one mind and spoke with one voice and never, ever had to argue about whose turn it was to clean the galley. That was before. Now they're the Borf - a crew of 124 ex-hivemind beings rattling through space aboard a ship held together by duct tape, stubbornness, and an AI that periodically needs to be rebooted by singing it a lullaby. They have strong opinions about personal boundaries (hard-won), questionable cargo manifests (at least three of them), and a plant named Reginald who may or may not be planning something. The galaxy is big. The paperwork is bigger. And everywhere the Discordia goes, someone official wants to ask pointed questions about their jump drive, their contraband lasagna, or why their navigation charts don't match anyone else's. The Borf Discordia is a sci-fi comedy about found family, bureaucratic absurdism, and what happens when a shipful of people who are still learning where they end and other people begin decide that chaos is a form of self-expression. It's Hitchhiker's Guide meets Lower Decks by way of Terry Pratchett - first-person rotating narrators, deadpan catastrophe, and the firm conviction that the universe is out to get you but at least there's coffee. What to expect:      Ensemble cast with rotating first-person POV      Satirical worldbuilding that parodies sci-fi tropes you probably recognize      Competent people doing incompetent things, described as routine      Running jokes with payoff (the lasagna will come back)      Slice-of-life and adventure arcs - sometimes in the same chapter      Characters dealing with real trauma through dark humor and sandwich-based diplomacy Content: Mild fictional profanity (the Borf invented their own). No graphic violence or sexual content. Rated Older Teen / PG. Updates: After the first set, settling on M/Th
