WEEK 2

So far, so good! That might be where you at. No real further word from The Captain seems forthcoming, but also no real further... anything seems forthcoming. You've gathered some new information, but the locations are the same. All you've really gained is... well, rising tension?

How long until someone tries to take The Captain's way out of here? Only time will tell...

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome one and all to your first case week! Don't forget to turn in regains over here, AC over here, and if you want to chat up the NPCs go here for Davy Jones and here for The Captain! ]

...If the time has passed regardless, why would you do such a thing?

[Like, what the hell- ]

Are the distances to be traveled so terribly vast as to make that necessary?

[She nods.] There's a lot of open territory out in space, and with the war, people are fighting over more than they could ever see in their lives firsthand. Both sides have developed sub-lightspeed technology, both to get to places quicker and to be able to maneuver and fight in that space. It's common to have people leave even just to study, only to come back decades later, still the same. Or to leave for the front lines knowing that everyone you know will be gone by the time you get back. That's a big part of why if someone goes off to war, the people close to them will usually also enlist when they're old enough.

I see.

[She doesn't precisely see.]

The notion of traveling to places like that, to space and the stars, is... It isn't something we can even conceive of yet, where I'm from. In dreams, perhaps, but not reality.
