spaceshipit: (supernova)

The mother ship Marsiva trudges ever on, its gravity inescapable, as it pulls away from the giant fauna planet once and for all. Hopefully you got your share of giant pterrosaur steaks and traded in your fifteen fish, because it's all open space from here!

As of this post, the Fleet is drifting! The drift period will last until 6/3.

In addition to the usual Waystations with their vending machines and questionable artificial parks, there is a relentless string of sponsored stations alternating with so-called Vacation Destinations that are really just tourist traps. Seriously. These other waystations are sponsored by a brand with its own fast food restaurant inside, the most plentiful of which is Floot Loops-- as well as Feet's Coffee, Joka-Kola, and something called "Boop" which no one can figure out. That chain has oxygen bars instead of food for... some reason.

Each tourist trap is more ridiculous than the next, from the Amazing Inside-Out Spaceship to the Planet-Sized Cheese, and then onto stuff like the Universe's Largest Ball of Twine-- you get the idea (and feel free to make up your own). At least you only have to put up with this for two weeks! After that, the Fleet will be arriving in a new system.

What fantastic and probably underwhelming """wonders""" await? Only time will tell...
