Minus Ten and Counting!

[Proginoskes]

More from the tape!
Sentries, written by Leslie Fish, performed by Julia Ecklar and Joey Shoji

Legends have warned us in times gone by:
Dangers can fall on us from the sky.
Fire and rain, and hail, stone, and flame,
And gods without mercy, and plagues without name.

Science has warned us of what might be:
Dangers that drift through infinity.
Comets may call, or meteors fall,
And nobody knows what lives out there at all.

Humans are hotheads who break the rules;
Humans are reckless, but not quite fools.
Therefore we fly, keeping an eye
Turned to the depths of the borderless sky.

Some of us people, the rest machines —
Sensors, computers, and read-out screens —
Always aware, with infinite care,
That we're the first warning of anything there.

We are the sentries who guard your sleep;
Endless as hours in the watch we keep;
Holding the sky under an eye;
As watchful as ever in ages gone by.

Nothing is certain but death and change,
Earth-borne or sky-borne as we may range.
Always we fly, watching the sky,
And nobody human need ever ask why!

Power: grants Doug total awareness of everything in his AoE. I'd play this as (borrowing In Nomine terminology, because I've been reading a lot of IN material lately) automatically succeeding with CD:6 on all Perception and Area Knowledge (area of effect) rolls.

Everyman, by Mary Jane Holmes, performed by Julia Ecklar

I've never left this Earth; I've never seen the stars;
I've never had the chance to journey to the Moon or Mars;
My name will never be recalled in books of history,
But by God, I know that those who did could not have without me!
For…
CHORUS:
… I'm the man who took up tools, and laid out the designs
Of starships: I'm the one who built their sleek and burnished lines.
I'm Every Man who ever fashioned cold refined steel
Into the dreams of spaceflight: I'm the one who made them real.

I'll never feel the thrilling pain of blasting into space;
I'll never know what mysteries lie in some unearthly place;
I'll never see new stars be born, or watch the old ones die;
I'll never hear a child from an alien planet cry.
But…
CHORUS

I wonder what it feels like to dance without the tie
Of gravity upon me, though I'll never get to try.
But I have satisfaction knowing that I had a role
In giving those who could a chance to reach that final goal.
For…
CHORUS
I'm the one who made them real.

Power: Allows Doug to detect the loftiest goals of a target person, and Doug automatically knows how best to aid that person in achieving it.

Fly, Columbia by Diana Gallagher, performed by Leslie Fish, Gallagher, and Arlin Robins. Ms. Gallagher apparently doesn't like her lyrics being posted around willy-nilly (also the video doesn't have a songsheet), but I think just the chorus and second verse will be fine:

CHORUS:
Fly, Columbia! (Fly, Columbia!)
Thunder toward tomorrow on an oxygen stream!
Thunder toward tomorrow, flyer flame and rocket song!
Mark a new time of Man; booster candles light the dawn!
Fly, Columbia! (Fly, Columbia!)
Foundation of the future, courier of dreams,Thunder on!

Columbia, the promise of better days to come!
Columbia, new mistress of the sky!
Sail in orbit free, track the moon and chase the sun!
Fly, Columbia, for humankind, fly!

Power: Yet Another Flight Song, but with the interesting side effect of making him an inspiring and uplifting sight to behold.
(Man, Fish and Ecklar are everywhere on this tape.)

EDIT: Straightening out the mangled lyrics above, and adding the following:

Voyager, by Cynthia McQuillin, performed by McQuillin, Joey Shoji, and Catherine Cook.

I was born of a dream on a drafting board;
Oh, the years it took to fill NASA's Plan.
With tons of thrust you sent me forth,
Across the space that time must span.
I speak knowledge. Does no one listen?

I journeyed far in the years gone by,
As I whispered my silent memories home.
Forgotten, I passed beyond your sight,
Then, at last, my mission's target loomed.
I speak knowledge. Does no one listen?

When Jupiter turned up its face,
That must have made you all amazed,
Stirred again your dreams of space.
For a while, I could feel your piercing gaze.
I speak knowledge. Does no one listen?

A faithful servitor of mankind,
I've searched the emptiness alone.
Must I wait throughout all time?
Will no one call the Voyager home?
I speak knowledge. Does no one listen?

I speak Knowledge! Does no one listen?

Power: This is a bit of a stretch, based more on my emotional reaction to the repeated line than anything else, but I think this lets Doug instantly tell what it would take to convince someone of something. (This is a broadening of my first thought, which was that he could instantly tell whether reasoned, evidence-based arguments would be useful.)

The Light-Ship, by Leslie Fish, performed by Julia Ecklar, Catherine Cook, and Joey Shoji.

The full Earth stands at our left hands,
And the pale Moon on the right.
All fire and steel, our Catherine-wheel
Rolls through the endless night.
The sun may burn at full astern,
And the power-cells drink deep;
Both day and night stand in our sight,
From waking unto sleep.

CHORUS:
And we spin long light from the glory of the sun,
Yes we spin long light from the glory of the sun.
And the light-gems glow on the Earth below,
In the bright web spun from the glory of the sun.

The powers run from the brazen sun,
Through the web of heaven's height,
To the opal world, like a clouded pearl,
Strung on a thread of light.
And we pace our turn from bow to stern
Through the elfin-summer field,
Where the power-cells, like flower-bells,
Drink all the sun can yield.

CHORUS

The well-paced blips of the factory-ships
Slide past our orbit's brink;
Like a swarm of bees in the girder-trees,
Come to our flowers to drink.
And the Earth is clean as a springtime dream;
No factory-smokes appear –
For they've left the land to the gardener's hand,
And they all are circling here!

CHORUS

Power: This could go in a couple different directions. The song is obviously (at a surface level, at least) about solar power generation, so it could have a subtle "awareness of/pressure for renewable energy" effect, or let Doug and the ground around him act as a photovoltaic array. But calling stored energy "long light", and referring to spinning it, makes me think Doug will be able to spin tangible threads from light. He'd be able to telekinetically manipulate them to trip or grapple (or whatever) at a distance. The strength of the threads depends on the apparent strength of the light-source he spun them from, so this song works best outdoors, on a clear day, in full sun.
