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.

[Now she's not sure if her leg is being pulled or not.]

Why would anyone have that bestowed on them as a possession unless there was a distinctive prospect of starving to death? Which does not seem to be the case...

[surely no one would dare!]

Some people just always want to be prepared. Maybe he's got some weird dietary issues, can't survive without 300% of the daily recommended value of sodium or something.
