[Fortuna]: Luck depends on no one....right? (4/3)

This is why I approved of the Nicko plan. He's not a crew-member, and he could just pop out a safe distance away in an instant.

Anyways, I'm sure O o o o will turn up soon, and we can use him to find a safe route if we run into any Giraffs.

Honestly, I'm not that sad that Nova is dead. He had a long and (hopefully) fulfilling life, at least for a while. We found him in a pretty sorry position, and I don't think he had much more to look forward to. From what I can tell, it was a choice between leaving him to suffer in his own mistakes as company for a long time while the clockwork virus goes unchecked, and ending everything here and now. Besides, we technically didn't get a demise message from him. What I *am* concerned about is that he didn't seem all that mad about the ship being blown up in of itself. Surprised, yes. Outraged, not really? Could Cobalt have been completely wrong with her assumption? (I mean, nobody *tried* telling him, so...) I'll only condone the consideration of save-scumming if we encounter even more dire consequences in the future because of this.

(Where *did* Cobalt go, anyway?)

> Cea: Try not to look back, and make sure no one else is, either. One Punch will catch up or he won't; no use fretting about it unless the latter is confirmed.

And can we refrain from making doublewidth posts in the future? Mobil Chrome was bugging out and kept booting me to the bottom of the page. (Sorry if I'm sounding rude, but reading that heart wrenching update became... difficult because of it.)
