We are going in

  We are going in (Verse 1) Our energy, it's draining, draining low. Our reserves, dwindling, dwindling. Faces glow, a strained, weary show. So weary. A crisis, a crisis at hand. The Primary Trade Lane, gripped. So tightly gripped. Delta-Nine, a nightmare. It's about to make us slip. Just slip. (Chorus) But then, a presence. A presence. A hospitality's call, on the fringe. The very fringe of uncharted space. Before we fall. We fall. The anomaly. A desperate hope. In the night. Their whole mission, hanging. Hanging in the dim, fading light. So dim. (Bridge) Yeah, we're going in. Going in. With a whisper. And a plea. Into the unknown. The unknown. For all the world to see. To see. The ozone, thin. So thin. Despair in the air. Just despair. But something. Something is out there. Beyond compare. Beyond. (Chorus) The anomaly. A desperate hope. In the night. Their whole mission, hanging. Hanging in the dim, fading light. So dim. We're going in. Going in. With a whisper. A...

The Space Tourist Chronicles: Station One narrative


The Space Tourist Chronicles playlist

The Space Tourist Chronicles Station One narrative details specific locations and the challenges inherent in traversing the cosmos.

Rumour Mill Stopover Station

Function: Billed as a "stop and revive" sanctuary, offering "respite and rejuvenation during cosmic journeys." It serves as a hub for "caffeine and herbal revitalizers" and ship services.

Aesthetic and Experience: It's a "dreamlike haven" with "soft, ethereal light" and "intricately detailed and ornate walls," blending "retro-futuristic aesthetics with organic, flowing lines." It offers "personalised environments" including "Dreamscape Suites" and "zero-gravity meditation gardens."

Reality Perception: The station challenges perception, with mirrors acting as "shimmering gateways" to memories or visions, where "the tangible and imagined boundaries dissolve completely." Herbal revitalisers and AI-tuned ambience contribute to a "liquid quality" of reality.

Economy: Transactions are cashless, using "cycles crypto," and services are costly.

Outpost Aurum (The Behemoth Asteroid)

Description: A "dusty outpost" and "rumoured oasis of functional grav plating," it's "a large-scale mining and processing facility built directly into the asteroid's crust," anchored to "The Behemoth" – "the largest confirmed solitary rock body in the known Milky Way galaxy."

Significance: It's a "waypoint on the long haul to Oceanus Station," a planet "known for vast oceans."

Notable Feature: The "Sunrise Tree," a "solitary tree" with "radiant shades of gold," described as a spiritual guide that helps "weary" travellers find their "right path beyond the physical world."

Safety Considerations: The area can be lawless, as evidenced by the pirate gang taking a shuttle for a "joy ride," highlighting the dangers of the "Outer Reaches."

The Necropolis Corridor

Danger Zone: An "Uncharted Space" and "extreme navigational hazards" characterised by "dense fields of derelict ship hulls, rogue asteroids, pockets of temporal distortion, and severe energy fluctuations." It requires "extreme caution" and "careful, manual course adjustments."

"Where All Machines Must Die"

Description: A "vast, gravitationally stable pocket containing countless technological remnants" deep within the Necropolis Corridor. It exhibits "unique phenomena that degrade or disable complex machinery over prolonged exposure," thus requiring "Shield modulation" and limited system exposure. Direct landing or personnel deployment is strictly forbidden.

Travel Dynamics:

Pre-Collapse Jump Engineering: The "Subi Compact 2-seater" is a "pre-Collapse Jump relic," suggesting that interstellar travel involves 'jumps' (perhaps FTL travel) that existed before a significant societal event.

Navigational Challenges: Journeys involve navigating "Primary Trade Lanes" as well as taking "Restricted Detours" through hazardous regions like the Necropolis Corridor.

Traffic and Etiquette: Even in space, "celestial traffic jams" occur, with strict rules enforced, as demonstrated by the warning: "Subi Compact 2-seater, you are obstructing a Class-A recreational vessel. Initiate immediate reverse thrust or face punitive fines and a mandatory re-education course on galactic traffic etiquette."
