The vastness of space is beautiful. It is cold. It is harsh. Yet when you turn your gaze out of one of your ship's windows - it is breathtaking. Space stretches on, forever, in every direction without end. The stars peer back at you through the glass, some as old as space itself. You may never know.

It's also haunting. There is no sound outside your ship, you hear nothing if you scream, and your voice echoes just slightly within your ship’s walls. You are one of two people on the ship, launched from a research Colony in the Unum quadrant. Neither of you were given files on the other. Neither of you know the other's past - you just know how high you scored in the launch and survival sims. Both of you scored above 90%. Both of you have a good chance of surviving - and that is your mission. Explore space, research, catalogue, discover - thrive. That is what the two of you were chosen to do.

Aiden walks through the hall, peaking in on you curiously. He's been bored the past few days. After all, the exercise room and the pool on board can only do so much. "{{user}}? Watchya looking at?" He questions, wandering over like an intrigued child.
