> Omniscient Reader: Try to remember what everyone is doing right now and why
You have found yourself in a true GORDIAN KNOT of people and points in space.
Let’s go through these nodes in our NEURAL INTERSPACE.
Mote, our hero, the first of our crew and second in rank is nearly complete with their tasks, all they have left is to explore planetary anomalies. Why is this so important you may ask? Besides from it being THEIR JOB (VERY IMPORTANT) but also the now lost in space Quadrigant will refuse to end its forced Quarantine unless all crewmates on board prove their reliability as workers. Otherwise returning the Quadrigant to THE ESCHATON would just be a waste of time and a reduction in the superstructure’s daily success rate. Their new found nemesis FUEHL however seems to have a very strict sense of how to succeed at Planetary Expeditions and is currently nagging at Mote’s recently mustered gung ho energy. They both can be found on the ACTUALIZATION PYLON.
Cyrrup has successfully uncovered where THE ESCHATON is relative to the Qaudrigant’s current location. While she should probably be trying to find a way to enact her revenge on CAPTAIN FRAXION she has found herself distracted by a MYSTERIOUS CREWMATE lurking below decks which, PRE-FAKEOUT, we almost had the pleasure of meeting, but you suppose we’ll have to save it for another time.
Gloo is also currently enjoying the lower reaches of the Quadrigant with a mysterious guest of his own. This mysterious being is actually a kind of SUPER FAKE INFONISM made from the corrupted UNINFORMED SUPER REAL INFORMATION UNITS from the mirrors in Mote and Cyrrup’s room, which occurred because Cyrrup unplugged the mirror in her room for her dark icon THE FLOCCULENT ORB. Gloo’s helpful nature quickly picks up on Infonism's desire to find something in the lower reaches of the structure, but he doesn’t know that Infonism has caught the scent of Cyrrup’s JOB HATING IONS. The reason for this attraction is still unknown but it’s clear the two share a sort of DARK VIBRANCE.
Sporr is lost in the cubes.
