Why'd You Kill the Merchant?!

[sansseraph]

Who: ALL O' Y'ALL
Broadcast: If you want
Action: FRICK YEAH PARTY AT THE JUNKYARD...I mean, Waystation. Junkstation.
When: 10/07 - Event End

It looks more like a junk heap than a waystation, but luckily there aren't any math fetishists to add you to the pile (hopefully). Talk to the scavengers and heed their warnings...if you want. Or perhaps you'll approach a shady individual for purchasing or selling stuff.

"Welcome, stranger!"

He's the captain of my ship. And an engineer. And a computer person!

[therewillbeorder]

What ship are you on? It's always refreshing to be able to speak with someone who knows what a computer actually is.

[He's had to lower his expectations a lot when it came to assuming how advanced other people here were though. Anyone who knew how to put things together and who knew what a computer was seemed promising.]

[pain_train]

I'm on the Windrose! Best ship in the fleet.

[She laughs.] Yeah, there are a lot of people who aren't used to tech, but it's not really their fault they come from like dark ages Earth.

[therewillbeorder]

You're from Earth as well? I've heard a lot about that planet, it seems most people here are from that one place.

[And honestly, he didn't see what was so special about a planet which hadn't even advanced far enough to go to their own moon. No one had been able to explain to him in a way that made sense.]

[pain_train]

I'm not. My planet is an Earth colony, but I've never been to the home system. I've just like... Learned about it in school.

I think out of the people who come from some kind of Earth, I'm the furthest in the future?

[therewillbeorder]

Oh? I've heard most people from Earth aren't even familiar with their local star system- how far out is your colony from the Earth system in the galaxy?

I couldn't imagine being confined to one star system, let alone one planet.

[pain_train]

It's like... more than ten gates out. We're really far away. But we've been stuck on our planet for like twenty years because there's an orbital debris cloud we can't launch ships through.

A pity no one has been able to clear it but those can be tricky for larger ships to deal with more often than not. There have been destroyers taken out by debris fields before.
