 Our new itinerary is ready. Anticipation hangs in the air as partners capture a selfie within the state-of-the-art cockpit of their "Subi Compact 2-seater (pre-Collapse Jump)" vessel, readying for a personalised space tourism experience. The soft light of advanced digital displays illuminates their faces, revealing their contrasting emotions just before departing for 'Where All Machines Must Die'. BK's radiant smile broadcasts uncontained excitement, while JB's more thoughtful expression hints at a quiet apprehension for their unique detour. Katcha, the Cyborg Spoodle, offers silent reassurance, whose knowing eyes reflect his crucial role in fostering well-being and connection, and even crafting the interstellar itinerary for this journey.
