⚍⚍ INCOMING TRANSMISSION ⚎⚎

Sentients of this vessel: I am Zhou, envoy of Caducus Primary. Your current trajectory predicts your arrival shortly, and as such, we have prepared a generous welcome for you. All we ask is that you show the same kindness once you are here. As a token of hospitality, I extend an invitation for you to ask any one personal question — past, present, or future. It will be given an answer.

We, of Caducus Primary, recognize the value of all things no matter their fragile nature. We anticipate your approach with great happiness.

⚍⚍ END TRANSMISSION ⚎⚎

[ Ask whatever you might of Zhou, but keep in mind that it is only one question per person. Questions about Caducus Primary do not apply toward the one question, though they will still be answered. ]

I've probably hit my question limit, haven't I?

Because I still got a ton of 'em.

[savrou_npc]

You still have your question. Ask it.

[imaginary_wife]

What do you need us for?

[savrou_npc]

We don't need you for anything. You will soon be guests here, and we like to hear the stories of travelers who are far from our world.

[imaginary_wife]

I mean for the mission on our ship, but I guess that answers whether or not you're with whoever owns the Moira.

[She tries to think of a question about herself. There are a lot she would like to know. Did Datak survive? Or at least die well? Are there versions of the Votan system that still remain, that never fell before the sun? Would they be places she could return home to?]

[Is Lev out there somewhere?]

[But reality is what it is, and shitty as it is she has too much to make up for to ask good things of herself outside of basic comfort and personal autonomy.]

Alright. If you have any questions I'll answer those but I'm not much of a Charles Dickens.

[savrou_npc]

I would think they have told you what they want from you. [ Whether that response is coy or not is difficult to determine. ] We will accept your story in time. You will be here soon.
