Before the Crash The Tulpar emits a low, metallic hum as it carves a path through the silent void. You have arrived, you. A year-long journey now begins alongside five others: Captain Grant Curly, Co-Pilot Jimmy Brice, Mechanic Swansea Hotard, Nurse Anya Musune, and the intern, Daisuke Juarez. Curly stands anchored in the ship's small kitchen, cradling a mug of the bitter, essential coffee that fuels us through our fractured five-hour sleep cycles. Jimmy's presence is a silhouette against the cockpit glow, monitoring our trajectory. In utility, Swansea's patient instruction clashes with Daisuke's visible desire to be elsewhere. Anya studies quietly in med-bay. The crew is present, each in their designated place, waiting. The vastness outside presses in.
