WEEK SIX

16 Vacationers

Throughout your time on the island, there's been a steady rhythm; the murders, the trials, the executions, the clean-up afterwards that leave just up remnants for you to remember what was lost. This Monday morning though, things are different. The debris and any biohazards are cleared, but no effort has been made to repair the games at the arcade, or to restock the chemicals and damaged equipment at the laboratory.

Odd.

If you cast your eyes to the sky, you'll also notice that the distortion is also lingering—there's certainly less of it at least, a haze still lingering over the go-karts, one whirlpool lingering out in the sea. It could be worse, surely.

Though there's no new locations for you to take your mind off of all these oddities either. In fact, looking at your device to access the resort map area and scrolling past Kakapo's Nest triggers an error.

There’s one more, slightly more eclectic change: the kittybots, instead of having cute kitty ears and faces, are now without exception round-headed. This would make them look like ordinary robots, but their heads actually now look like a bowl of fish swimming, which occasionally form up into expressions. A change of pace for everything, it seems.

It's the same for me. I have some aptitude because two of the people closest to me are extremely skilled programmers, and because I've worked on a spaceship bridge for a while, but...

I'm not in a position where I'd be a very good teacher even if there was time. A lot of it is... a little like instinct, to me? [ #JustCoordinatorThings ]

[microtransactions]

Yeah. Most of my aptitude is because I'm the only crew for my own ship, so it'd be a pretty good idea to learn and pick things up or else. Maintenance, programming, all that.

Not like the people who originally built her are around anymore to ask, so a lot of it was just ... me, figuring things out?

[idologue]

The only crew...? That sounds incredibly exhausting!

I don't think it would even be possible to man the ships in my world with just one person... Only smaller short distance vessels.

[microtransactions]

You said entire civilizations live on ships like the one you live and work on, right? The Starcutter isn't exactly a short distance vessel, but she's definitely not like, an entire colony-sized. So that kind of helps?

Still, I imagine in the past there probably were more people to crew her ...
