Pandemic season. This is not the first, nor will it be the last time you lock yourself down,

and we isolate from each other to protect ourselves and to protect those more vulnerable than ourselves.

The practical effect of this isolation on you is that your home is no longer your home,

but has transformed into a vessel that, along with many others, has left Earth to orbit around her,

alone together. Those remaining on Earth have their mission to mitigate the dangers of the outside.

And while here inside, it may seem like you have not to do but watch and wait.

Aboard this ship isolated for a season with length unknown, there are dangers

too. What can start as a break from life will unchecked become something much worse. Darkness

and disorder and a slow drift into abyss where out here no one can physically help you.

So you cannot just wait. Like those below you above have things to do.

Eventually, Earth will need people to return to help spin back up the wheels of the human world.

Your mission, return better than you left.

To accomplish this, you must maintain the vessel.

Welcome aboard Spaceship U. The core generator of

spaceship U is your health, with two parts, the physical and the mental. For the ship to stay

functional, this generator must spin. Arriving in orbit, it starts with some momentum to keep

things going at first, to afford a little time to adjust. But as with all motion,

the passive forces of the universe work to slow that which is active, to bring darkness and

disorder. If the core slows too much, if it all drifts too far and becomes too dark, recovery

on your own is increasingly unlikely. So how to prime the core and keep it running during this journey.

The mental and physical are halves of a whole, so accelerating one accelerates the other.

Each adds to the total momentum, making additional pushing easier, priming the core,
