Who: EVERYBODY
Broadcast: Maybe
Action: Lone Breaker System
When: The fleet will be in this system from 3/10 to 4/14

Welcome to the Lone Breaker System. The planet consists of a single ghost town that replenishes its stock daily, and a desert that does not. There are quite a few points of interest, no consequences, and a mystery to be investigated!

[ That's true, but it wouldn't surprise him. ]

I will look it up.

There should be network posts of things happening, too. Like the planet of cannibals after communications went back up, and the rogue fleet members who showed up.

I would prefer not to scroll through months of nonsense just to find what I need.

I don't blame you. It would get boring after a while. The captains might have more information than I do.

The captains?

Yeah, the captains of the other ships. They tend to get involved when shit happens.

[ Huh. He didn't think there was much of a hierarchy. ]

Who is the Captain of your ship?

Asuka Langley. She's got red hair and an eyepatch. Each ship has its own Captain.

[ An eyepatch huh? ]

I'll have to discover mine then.

Which ship are you on?

The First Breath.

Oh. Tyrion is the Captain of that ship. He's pretty cool.

"Cool"?

Oh. Um.. He's a good guy and he helps keep the fleet informed and thinking about things.

[ Thinking about things. Loki isn't sure if he's meant to be impressed because he certainly isn't. ]

We shall see how "cool" he is when we meet.

I guess so?

[ And if Loki finds him lacking, well . . . he can rectify that problem. ]

I doubt captains are truly required here.

Not really, but they help the fleet stay organized even if there's not really need for the rank? It's always good to have leaders.

And what kind of "leading" do they do?

I guess it depends on the Captain. They at least look out for their crew.

[ Sounds fake. ]

Do they now.

What would the point be if they didn't?

I assume there is little point to be found anywhere. Especially since the Atroma is in control.

If we're stuck in a situation, why not go with it, you know? It might be bullshit, but why not do something with it instead of lamenting the lack of control?

And what is it we're doing, precisely?
