Got two things to ask and one thing to offer. I'll try to make it short and sweet.
QUESTION 1: What destroyed or depopulated your version of Earth? Nukes, asteroids, zombies? If nothing did yet, what took the closest shot so far?
Same question if you're not from Earth - just swap out Earth for wherever you came from.
I'm not compiling a spreadsheet or anything. I guess it's just something I've wondered.
QUESTION 2: What are we even doing here? What's our destination? The purpose of the voyage? Who sent us, and why us? Maybe I missed something and by all means point me there if I did, but in less than a day, this ship sucks up more resources than the Ark could spare for a month.
I've been here for over a month now and I'm the first person I've seen ask anything like this so far. I want to think it's because we were up to our airholes in highly invasive nanotechnology. Or - like I said, maybe I missed the big 'who, what, where, and why' memo.
OFFER: I'm bored off my rocks, if you haven't picked up on that yet. I was a zero-G mech back on the Ark, and if that's not enough, I helped fix the thing that saved your asses pre-Jump. I can repair, rebuild, or build from scrap just about anything you can think of. So somebody give me a job before I start opening panels and improving whatever the hell's inside.
[ is she serious? she very well could be, so throw her a bone here, yeah? ]

Everyone left alive was already in space.
[ or so they thought. no communications and a whole bunch of world-wide nuclear radiation kind of give that signal. ]

You thought.

[ she's speaking like 'we' but it's more like 'my great great great grandparents'. 'we' like ark solidarity more than personal involvement. ]

Wasn't much we could do about it, though. Hauling ass back to space was kind of out of the question.

Was your Ark anything like this place?

Different in that the TQ is a piece of shit on purpose, and the Ark was a piece of shit by complete accident.
