Aboard Independence (Patreon)

As all my patrons know, I write little pieces inspired by captioned images that I read from time to time, and I usually get around to posting them here as collections of five by the author of the cap.  Some I expand into full stories, by myself or where encouraged by those who read my work.  This story comes from something I wrote for Independence Day last  year which I followed with a sequel, and then ... oh well, this story.
