Announcer: The other days of the week may be dull and boring, but don’t give up hope yet, there’s always Something Every Tuesday with your host, Esen Landari!

[ Applause ]

Thank you! Thank you. You are too kind. I do not deserve a welcome that nice. The last time I got that much applause I was hosting a Banu award show in Yulin. Every time I read a name it got a standing ovation. Have you ever seen a whole crowd of Banu cheer for something? I still have no idea who actually won.

[ Laughter ]

To say that the Banu like celebrating is such an understatement, it’s like saying my mom just ‘likes’ her flatcats … All eight of them. She says they’re like her children, which if you think about it, says a lot about me. For the first twelve years of my life, I thought it was completely normal for the rugs in your house to try and run away from you. Even now, if I ever come home and there’s a towel on the floor, my first instinct is to get it a bowl of food.

[ Laughter ]

Speaking of food winding up on the floor, we have got to talk about this most recent mess that Imperator Costigan made, specifically on Emperor Kr.ē’s robes. Have you seen this clip? Absolutely amazing. To set the scene, there was a fancy trade diplomacy gala in Yahti two days ago, and Costigan, dressed to the nines, is sitting at the head table surrounded by all of the most important Xi’An. At some point during the meal, Costigan reaches out for something to drink and our poor Imperator, the elected leader of all of Humanity, accidently takes a sip from his neighbor’s glass of surluk.

[ Disgusted Groans ]

Exactly. One little taste, and Costigan was — how do I put this tactfully? Let’s just say that he was helpfully providing all the Xi’An at the table a firsthand demonstration of rapid reverse Human digestion.

[ Laughter ]

Fortunately, Emperor Kr.ē was very gracious about it and despite Costigan’s best efforts, there won’t be a new cold war. And when you think about it, it’s not too surprising that the Xi’An weren’t too bothered by the whole thing considering what surluk tastes like. Have any of you ever tried surluk? Anyone? Hands up? No? Not a single person? Smart. It’s instincts like that, that have kept the Human race alive this long. I, however, am not so lucky. Tried surluk once on a dare while I was still in school. I would describe it as a cross between licking the floor of a bathroom in Spider and that limited edition holiday spice-flavored Pips.

[ Laughter ]

In other news, have you heard about the museum in Croshaw that got robbed by a gang composed entirely of suspects over one hundred and fifty years old? Reporters have started calling it the ‘heist of the sesquicentenary.’ Amongst the items taken was the original rover used to first explore the surface of Angeli. Current theory is that the suspects were trying to find their craft after they forgot where they’d parked. To add insult to injury, local authorities pointed out that the criminals most likely got a 15% senior discount on everything they took.

[ Laughter ]

All right, we have got an simply fantastic show for you coming up. Director Adam Locke is here to discuss his new horror vid Alone We Are. Xenozoologist Michala Doso will be bringing by her newest collection of creepy crawlies that I’m sure she’ll pressure me into touching. And musical guest The Leedos will be making their first, and knowing the network’s censors, potentially last appearance on SET.

But first up, it is a real personal thrill for me to introduce the next guest. Please join me in welcoming Roberts Space Industries’ lead ship designer, Jules Parliegh.

[ Applause ]

Thank you so much for being here.

Jules: It’s great to be on the show.

First off, let me just say that the ’34 Constellation Phoenix is one of my favorite ships of all time. The sweeping lines of the interior and the way that they melded with the hull to create something greater than the whole is just incredible.

Jules: Wow. Thanks.

Total gearhead over here. For those of you who don’t know, that classic Connie was Jules’ first project as a ship designer, right?

Jules: Yeah, that’s right. I had been working as an assistant designer for a few years, but the ’34 Phoenix was the first project where I was put in a position to really have the chance to screw up. Which, when your choices have to stand on their own, makes a huge difference.

Sort of like how playing trigger is a lot more fun when you have a few credits riding on it.

Jules: Exactly. And the Constellation was the perfect place to dive into the deep end. The lead project designer, Kali May, had already gave us a fantastic palette to work with in the Aquila, so it made my job a lot easier when it came to creating the Phoenix. As a young designer, it helped to be limited by those boundaries. I’ve always found it easier to be creative inside a box.

Speaking of boxes, I have to ask, I heard that you and interior decorator Patrice Wintle got into a bit of a fight over the position of the bed?

Jules: ( laughing ) I’m not sure I would call it a fight … but yeah, when you get very passionate, creative people together, sometimes differences of opinion will appear. We couldn’t agree on which way the bed should face and went back and forth for a while on it till we eventually built mock-ups of both and had people sleep in them.

And who was right?

Jules: I honestly don’t remember. What ended up happening is that we realized that the bathroom placement was all wrong once we had people actually using the space. It was just in time too; reworking the plumbing almost put us past the deadline. After that, the bed placement just sorted itself.

I think that means Wintle was right.

[ Laughter ]

So your most recent project, you’ve been working on RSI’s new corvette, right?

Jules: Yes. I was fortunate enough to be selected as the lead designer for the Polaris. Largest ship I’ve had a chance to work on yet. Well over a hundred meters.

What’s it like working on that scale?

Jules: It complicates everything. The weight distribution, hull stresses, power ratios. Every ten meters you add, it adds significantly more problems, but at the end of the day, good design is good design no matter the scale. Probably the bigger difference for me on this project has been working on a more combat focused ship. It has been fascinating to consult not only with Navy personnel, but also smaller militia units. More and more of these capital ships are being used by planetary defense forces, so we’ve been trying to meet their needs as well.

And there’s a difference?

Jules: Definitely.

Can you give an example?

Jules: The Navy is a lot more willing to deal with complications if it means they have more ‘operational flexibility,’ while militia units typically want simplified dependability since they have less resources. The flooring comes to mind. We had this new technique we were looking at that could possibly save on the overall fabrication weight by adding these channels to the floor. Our Navy consultants loved the idea, the militia consultants were worried about how they were going to easily clean them if someone spilled something. It’s been an absolutely fantastic creative challenge trying to strike a balance.

All right, from the frantic waving of my producer, I think we have to take a quick break. We are definitely going to hear more from lead RSI designer Jules Parliegh when we get back and unveil an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the 2947 Polaris shipyards. Don’t go away.

Ansager: Die anderen Tage der Woche mögen langweilig und langweilig sein, aber gib die Hoffnung noch nicht auf, es gibt immer etwas jeden Dienstag mit deinem Gastgeber, Esen Landari!

[ Applaus]

Ich danke dir! Ich danke dir. Ihr seid zu freundlich. Ich verdiene keinen so schönen Empfang. Das letzte Mal, als ich so viel Applaus bekam, moderierte ich eine Banu Award Show in Yulin. Jedes Mal, wenn ich einen Namen lese, bekam er stehende Ovationen. Hast du jemals eine ganze Menge Banu gesehen, die wegen etwas jubelt? Ich habe immer noch keine Ahnung, wer tatsächlich gewonnen hat.

[ Lachen]

Zu sagen, dass das Banu gerne feiert, ist so eine Untertreibung, es ist, als würde man sagen, dass meine Mutter ihre Plattkatzen einfach "mag".... Alle acht von ihnen. Sie sagt, sie sind wie ihre Kinder, was, wenn man darüber nachdenkt, viel über mich aussagt. In den ersten zwölf Jahren meines Lebens dachte ich, es sei völlig normal, dass die Teppiche in deinem Haus versuchen, vor dir wegzulaufen. Selbst jetzt, wenn ich jemals nach Hause komme und ein Handtuch auf dem Boden liegt, ist mein erster Instinkt, ihm eine Schüssel Essen zu besorgen.

[ Lachen]

Apropos Essen, das auf dem Boden landet, müssen wir über dieses jüngste Durcheinander sprechen, das Imperator Costigan angerichtet hat, insbesondere über die Gewänder von Kaiser Kr.ē. Hast du diesen Clip gesehen? Absolut erstaunlich. Um den Rahmen zu schaffen, fand vor zwei Tagen in Yahti eine Gala der ausgefallenen Handelsdiplomatie statt, und Costigan, auf den Neunen gekleidet, sitzt am Kopftisch, umgeben von den wichtigsten Xi'An. Irgendwann während des Essens greift Costigan nach etwas zu trinken, und unser armer Imperator, der gewählte Führer der gesamten Menschheit, nimmt versehentlich einen Schluck aus dem Glas Surluk seines Nachbarn.

[ Ekelhaftes Stöhnen]

Genau. Ein kleiner Geschmack, und Costigan war - wie soll ich das taktvoll formulieren? Sagen wir einfach, dass er hilfreich war, als er allen Xi'An am Tisch eine Demonstration der schnellen umgekehrten menschlichen Verdauung aus erster Hand bot.

[ Lachen]

Glücklicherweise war Kaiser Kr.ē sehr freundlich und trotz Costigans Bemühungen wird es keinen neuen Kalten Krieg geben. Und wenn man darüber nachdenkt, ist es nicht allzu überraschend, dass die Xi'An nicht allzu sehr von der ganzen Sache gestört wurden, wenn man bedenkt, wie Surluk schmeckt. Hat einer von euch schon mal Surluk versucht? Irgendjemand? Hände hoch? Nein? Nicht eine einzige Person? Schlau. Es sind solche Instinkte, die die menschliche Rasse so lange am Leben erhalten haben. Ich habe jedoch nicht so viel Glück. Ich habe einmal versucht, bei einer Mutprobe zu surfen, während ich noch in der Schule war. Ich würde es als eine Mischung aus dem Lecken des Bodens eines Badezimmers in Spider und diesem limitierten Urlaub mit Gewürzaroma beschreiben.

[ Lachen]

In anderen Nachrichten, haben Sie von dem Museum in Croshaw gehört, das von einer Bande ausgeraubt wurde, die ausschließlich aus Verdächtigen besteht, die über hundertfünfzig Jahre alt sind? Reporter nennen es den "Raub des Jubiläums". Zu den Gegenständen, die mitgenommen wurden, gehörte auch der ursprüngliche Rover, mit dem zuerst die Oberfläche von Angeli erkundet wurde. Aktuelle Theorie ist, dass die Verdächtigen versuchten, ihr Schiff zu finden, nachdem sie vergessen hatten, wo sie geparkt hatten. Um die Verletzung noch zu beleidigen, wiesen die örtlichen Behörden darauf hin, dass die Kriminellen höchstwahrscheinlich einen Rabatt von 15% auf alles, was sie einnahmen, erhielten.

[ Lachen]

In Ordnung, wir haben eine einfach fantastische Show für dich. Direktor Adam Locke ist hier, um über sein neues Horrorvideo Allein sind wir. Die Xenozoologin Michala Doso wird mit ihrer neuesten Sammlung von gruseligen Krabbeltieren, die ich sicher bin, dass sie mich dazu zwingen wird, sie zu berühren. Und der musikalische Gast The Leedos wird zum ersten Mal dabei sein und die Zensoren des Netzwerks kennen, möglicherweise das letzte Mal auf SET.

Aber zuerst ist es für mich ein ganz persönlicher Nervenkitzel, den nächsten Gast vorzustellen. Bitte begrüßen Sie mit mir den leitenden Schiffsdesigner von Roberts Space Industries, Jules Parliegh.

[ Applaus]

Vielen Dank, dass du hier bist.

Jules: Es ist toll, in der Show zu sein.

Zunächst möchte ich nur sagen, dass die 34er Sternbild Phoenix eines meiner Lieblingsschiffe aller Zeiten ist. Die geschwungenen Linien des Innenraums und die Art und Weise, wie sie mit dem Rumpf verschmolzen sind, um etwas Größeres als das Ganze zu schaffen, sind einfach unglaublich.

Jules: Wow. Danke.

Das gesamte Getriebe hier drüben. Für diejenigen unter euch, die es nicht wissen, war diese klassische Connie Jules' erstes Projekt als Schiffsdesigner, richtig?

Jules: Ja, das ist richtig. Ich hatte einige Jahre als Assistentin des Designers gearbeitet, aber der 34er Phoenix war das erste Projekt, bei dem ich in die Lage versetzt wurde, wirklich die Chance zu haben, es zu vermasseln. Was, wenn deine Entscheidungen auf sich allein gestellt sein müssen, einen großen Unterschied macht.

Eine Art von wie, wie das Spielen von Triggern viel mehr Spaß macht, wenn man ein paar Credits darauf hat.

Jules: Genau. Und die Constellation war der perfekte Ort, um ins tiefe Ende zu tauchen. Der leitende Projektdesigner Kali May hatte uns bereits eine fantastische Palette zur Verfügung gestellt, mit der wir im Aquila arbeiten konnten, was mir die Arbeit bei der Erstellung des Phoenix erheblich erleichtert hat. Als junger Designer half er, durch diese Grenzen begrenzt zu sein. Ich fand es immer einfacher, in einer Box kreativ zu sein.

Apropos Kisten, muss ich fragen, ich habe gehört, dass du und der Innenarchitekt Patrice Wintle in einen kleinen Streit um die Position des Bettes geraten seid?

Jules: (lacht) Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich es einen Kampf nennen würde.... aber ja, wenn man sehr leidenschaftliche, kreative Menschen zusammenbringt, werden manchmal Meinungsverschiedenheiten auftreten. Wir konnten uns nicht einigen, in welche Richtung das Bett schauen sollte und gingen eine Weile hin und her, bis wir schließlich Modelle von beiden bauten und die Leute in ihnen schlafen ließen.

Und wer hatte Recht?

Jules: Ich erinnere mich wirklich nicht. Was oben geschah, ist, dass wir feststellten, dass die Badezimmerplatzierung ganz falsch war, sobald wir Leute hatten, die wirklich den Raum benutzen. Es war auch gerade noch rechtzeitig; die Überarbeitung der Sanitäranlagen hat uns fast über die Frist hinausgebracht. Danach sortierte sich die Bettaufstellung von selbst.

Ich denke, das bedeutet, dass Wintle Recht hatte.

[ Lachen]

Ihr jüngstes Projekt, Sie haben also an der neuen Korvette von RSI gearbeitet, richtig?

Jules: Ja. Ich hatte das Glück, als Lead-Designer für die Polaris ausgewählt zu werden. Das größte Schiff, an dem ich je arbeiten durfte. Weit über hundert Meter.

Wie ist es, in dieser Größenordnung zu arbeiten?

Jules: Es verkompliziert alles. Die Gewichtsverteilung, Rumpfspannungen, Leistungsverhältnisse. Alle zehn Meter, die Sie hinzufügen, fügt es deutlich mehr Probleme hinzu, aber am Ende des Tages ist gutes Design gutes Design, egal in welcher Größenordnung. Wahrscheinlich war der größere Unterschied für mich bei diesem Projekt die Arbeit an einem stärker kampforientierten Schiff. Es war faszinierend, nicht nur mit Navy-Personal, sondern auch mit kleineren Miliz-Einheiten zu sprechen. Immer mehr dieser Großschiffe werden von planetarischen Verteidigungskräften eingesetzt, also haben wir versucht, auch ihre Bedürfnisse zu erfüllen.

Und es gibt einen Unterschied?

Jules: Auf jeden Fall.

Können Sie ein Beispiel nennen?

Jules: Die Marine ist viel eher bereit, mit Komplikationen umzugehen, wenn sie mehr "operative Flexibilität" hat, während Miliz-Einheiten typischerweise eine vereinfachte Zuverlässigkeit wollen, da sie über weniger Ressourcen verfügen. Der Bodenbelag kommt mir in den Sinn. Wir hatten diese neue Technik, die wir untersuchten, die möglicherweise das gesamte Fertigungsgewicht einsparen könnte, indem sie diese Kanäle auf dem Boden anbringt. Unsere Navy-Berater liebten die Idee, die Miliz-Berater waren besorgt darüber, wie sie sie leicht reinigen würden, wenn jemand etwas verschüttet hätte. Es war eine absolut fantastische kreative Herausforderung, um ein Gleichgewicht zu finden.

Alles klar, von dem hektischen Winken meines Produzenten, denke ich, dass wir eine kurze Pause einlegen müssen. Wir werden definitiv mehr von dem führenden RSI-Designer Jules Parliegh hören, wenn wir zurückkommen und einen exklusiven Blick hinter die Kulissen der 2947 Polaris-Werften werfen. Geh nicht weg.
