Dialogue[]

Initial Conversation[]

  • “There you are! I just finished pre-flight observations, and local conditions are good.
    Except... to be honest, I've been getting some disturbing reports from the other travelers. It sounds like things are changing out there.”
    • >What does that mean?
      • “I have no idea! Isn't that exciting?
        Just when we thought we were starting to unerstand our solar system, everything goes and changes on us! Great stuff.”
        • >Changing how?
          • “Well apparently Brittle Hollow's volcanic moon has started erupting. And seismic activity has been detected beneath the Hourglass Twins.
            Oh, and there are storms brewing in the Giant's Deep. And... well, you get the picture.
            Should make for an interesting expedition! Here are the launch codes.
            You're go for launch. Be careful out there!”
        • >I'm going to die in space, aren't I.
          • “I'm not one for superstition, but isn't that kind of unlucky to say before a launch?
            It's dangerous out there, of course, but nothing a little extreme caution can't handle.
            ...Ah! I almost forgot, here are the launch codes.
            You're a go for launch. Be careful out there!”
    • >What do the reports say?
      • “Well apparently Brittle Hollow's volcanic moon has started erupting. And seismic activity has been detected beneath the Hourglass Twins.
        Oh, and there are storms brewing in the Giant's Deep. And... well, you get the picture.
        The point is, things are changing out there... faster than we've ever seen.”
        • >What does it all mean?
          • “I have no idea! Isn't that exciting?
            Just when we thought were were starting to unerstand our solar system, everything goes and changes on us! Great stuff.
            ...Ah! I almost forgot, here are the launch codes.
            You're a go for launch. Be careful out there!”
        • >Ought to make for one hell of an expedition!
          • “Exciting stuff isn't it? Almost makes me wish I were a traveler myself (almost).
            ...Ah! I almost forgot, here are the launch codes.
            You're a go for launch. Be careful out there!”

After obtaining the launch codes[]

  • Be careful out there!
