How it begins
Strolling through the final airlock, you feel satisfied that the facility's in order: the spacesuits are starched, the moon rocks are neatly arranged, and you personally checked that every stateroom is in perfect condition. Twice. Tomorrow's going to go great, and you're finally off the clock. You look back one last time anyway. Time between tourist stays always make you nervous: it feels difficult justifying your non-existent workload while everyone else still has regular maintenance duties.
Compounding the lull in responsibilities has been the temptation of finishing the final level of Creatures Such as We. Will you wipe out the last of the Traditionalists, or will Lauress elude your grasp at the last minute? Will you and Elegy have a happily ever after? The anticipation is giddily maddening. You hear chatty banter as you approach the passageway to the crew common area and laughter as you pass it. You hurry along. You're about to save the day, be the hero, put everything together.
