left to drift

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?

> HEADBANG. HEADBANG HEADBANG HEADBANG or maybe consider playing some rad alien tunes over the intercom

Luka! BRING THE TUNES!






YEAH BABY

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.

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.



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.

Run diagnostic on comms system. To fix it, you have to know what's wrong

Right. Time to get to work. You tell Luka to run her troubleshooter.



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.

go to the red one

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?



BONUS:

SpoilerShow

Smash the window, flip the middle fingers at the ship as you float away on your none existant fucks.

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.
