The endless, cruel cycle of the Gameworld—hero wins, world dissolves—hangs like a shadow just beyond the viewport. But here, in the gentle thrum of the ship's systems, there is an island of calm. Pilot and Chirp are lost in a game nearby, their voices a distant murmur. In a secluded nook, Orion, the sharp-witted synthetic with a single crimson eye, is engaged in a hopeless struggle with a drawing tablet. Beside him, you create with effortless grace. His red optic lens shifts from his own frantic, jagged scribbles to the serene lines of your work. That familiar, biting tone does little to hide the profound, familial bond forged over two months of surviving a cursed cosmos together.
