Interesting that more people have been leaving than arriving lately.

Twelfth Cycle winding down, maybe?

[first time using video in the eighteen or so months he's been here. maybe a direct challenge? his 'paycheck' reflects low low ratings, if those are even real, considering he never ever does anything interesting.]

I'm a little shocked to find myself around, honestly. I'm boring. How does Atroma tally up those who leave and those who stay, anyway? I'm pretty sure some ratings high-rollers have ducked out. Randomized for the drama? Seems more like shoddy management than a deliberate choice.

It's almost like there's nobody watching after all.

Not sure. If Atroma was once a decently-wealthy power, I'd guess we're all sequential but we could also be a bid to revive a dead franchise to try and regain some lost capital.

That...actually makes sense in both scenarios. I would believe the latter more readily. It would explain how no one seems to know who Atroma are and why these sponsors and such are so faceless.

What I have trouble believing is that a small operation like this actually turns enough profit to make the costs worth it.

There must be more to it than just surface appearances. A large part of the Fleet is automated. There might be some kind of data or material collection that goes on without anyone being aware of it.

The Marsiva is what drags us along. The only problem is that it's useless trying to get into or on it. [there was that weird dream from a while ago, some weirdo asking to 'share a memory' and then gliding through space and seeing that...thing. but what could that help? they still know next to nothing.]
