You punch the computer as hard as you can.
You are not very strong.

Apparently that worked, sorta? The navigation systems appear to be functioning! You won't get any long range data until the comms array is back online, but at the very least, you have a map of the star system you're currently in.
Luka calls you a nasty name for hitting her.

You furrow your visor in frustration, somehow. Ah, Luka. Your only companion in this cold, cold galaxy. Friends? Perhaps not. But a necessary evil.
You remember the time she helped you evade a band of space pirates. Perhaps she's not so bad. Then you remember the time she abandoned course to check out a really ugly asteroid. She is. She is that bad.
It WAS ugly, though.

Tempting. Unnecessary, yes, but very tempting.
Luka warns you to back off.

you have few choices. you can either continue to drift in easily drawable space, or you can descend to the planet where no doubt complicated and difficult backgrounds await.
you could also maybe explore this ship and acquaint the audience with its hopefully duochrome and untextured interiors.

It seems you have a lot of things on your agenda. Several of them involve damaging your ship, which is the only thing keeping you alive right now. You think you'd better figure out how to fix the comms array.
Actually, why don't we start with something actually important, instead?

Ah, yes. You take a peek at the other end of your ship. On the left is the door, and on the right is your mass produced sleeping pod. In the corner there is a cooler filled with various carbonated beverages. No food, though.
![[Image: Tai2s2o.png]](https://i.imgur.com/Tai2s2o.png)
You wonder where all your food could have gone. Luka suggests that you ate it all. You wouldn't do that, would you?
(You would.)
It is fortunate that Space Explorers can go more than a week without food.

Right. Time to get to work. You tell Luka to run her troubleshooter.
![[Image: A73pjk6.png]](https://i.imgur.com/A73pjk6.png)
Luka tells you that the issue is not a hardware or software issue. Some kind of outside interference is preventing you from sending long range transmissions. This interference could be anything - radiation, space magnets, intentional sabotage by unknown parties, space bugs in the ports. All Luka knows is that the interference is coming from somewhere within this star system.

Using the classical selection process of "it's my favourite colour," you choose a destination within the system. Perhaps you expect to find a solution to your problems there. Maybe you hope to scout the planet as a potential colony world for your species. Or you're just dicking around.

Luka engages warp drive. Wow, it's gorgeous! You never get tired of seeing lazy lines drawn in ms pai

You are now orbiting the red planet. Scans indicate it is a terrestrial world with several oceans, but you are unable to identify the type of liquid from this range. Do you want to name this planet?

You take a running start and, with an uncharacteristic display of strength, smash right through the window.
You float away into the maw of space, raising your middle fingers at your ship indigently. FUCK YOU, LUKA! AND YOUR ANTENNAE! You glitch out nauseatingly. Is it because space is a vast unexplored mystery, with things we do not yet understand? Or is it because gimp sucks? I don't know, are you Watsonian or Doylist?
You actually don't do that, because you'd rather not die. That was weird.

Professionalism comes first. ExploreCo™ T.P. 1011753-R will be the official, legal name of this planet... but that doesn't mean it can't have a nickname!

DING DING DING DING DING! What's this? The computer is beeping! The first preliminary scans of the planet have come back! Yes, the scans conveniently started working despite the range in time to use as many suggestions as possible!
![[Image: uHF1qmY.png]](https://i.imgur.com/uHF1qmY.png)
Ah! It must be one of the local creatures of the planet, a Weasel Gregs! You've discovered a new species! Good work.
Honouorable mentions to both New Urfth and Red Thing. These names will live on in our hearts.
![[Image: 4F41eso.png]](https://i.imgur.com/4F41eso.png)
You bask in the beauty of your newly discovered world Rei Hino/Whatever (ExploreCo™ T.P. 1011753-R) will go down in history! Future explorers will reflect on this moment in awe.
For a moment, you wonder why you didn't name the last planet you were orbiting. Apparently you were too busy abusing your space ship and grooving out.
Now what?
