the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (1)

monday (41) survivors It had been three days since you had awoken. The ship was still quiet, except for the low hums of enigmatic machines with no apparent purpose. You awake, like usual, to dim lighting and poor rations. Perhaps being on the ship had grown monotonous — it was, perhaps, amazing how little anything seemed to happen in space, a final frontier of malaise. That monotony is crushed by a voice echoing through the narrow hallways. Reformatting . . . Reformatting . . . Reformatting complete. The Pygmalion is online. Welcome, travelers. Please assemble in the meeting room. Your presence is mandatory. Silence falls once again. A minute or so passes, and the lights around the ship finally brighten, the walls looking more alive and more unfamiliar — as if you must relearn the ship's interior once again. The robots on deck begin to make rounds, nudging and pushing at the ship's passengers to make their way to the meeting room. You hear the doors behind you lock. It seems there is only one path to take. ENTER COMMAND_

Riiight...got it. So I guess the answer to "what happens if we don't follow your rulebook and break rules" is "you will be killed instead?" And if a person gets killed for breaking your rules does that count?

Rule breakers will be dealt with on a case by case basis. The severity of their punishment will depend on the severity of their rule breaking. I must ask that participants abide the rules, though I am incapable of forcing you or any other to do so.

However, Luke Castellan, your line of thought is correct. If retirement should occur due to rule breaking, it would count toward the project.

Fair enough. [He has no further questions but he's sure as hell not going to say thank you either. Now it's just time to focus on what to do next and see what everybody else has to say.]
