You don't think it would be a bit scary? If something were to go wrong, you'd drift off into space.
[ but assuming Alex doesn't want to explore too heavily, they will continue on to another room on the lower deck. this time, the room looks like this. it's a cargo room holding large freight with a bunch of large crates. ]
Only two people will ever come down to the hangar, one of them being the captain. Lot of the crates just hold materials, like food and plants. [ their gaze is more focused towards the back of the hangar. ]
[ yeah she's not looking super closely at things. peering around each area, taking them in, but she doesn't think inspecting all this... metal... will net her any interesting insight.
buuuut she does look where setsu is looking, then give them a curious look? hm hm??? ]
[it's said with quiet amusement, sometimes better to focus on the more exciting aspects of things. they will meet Alex's curious look, offer a little smile, before they continue on.]
...I was thinking of a loop where I had to spend a few nights trying to figure out what was hidden in the back of the Hangar. It was a bit difficult.. because not only did I need to make sure I survived, but my friend as well, along with the captain of the ship.
[ it's actually pretty hard to ensure three specific people stayed alive long enough to figure out hard-to-get information. but they will continue moving! this time, the new room is quite noisy. a large power reactor in the center of the room hums loudly. there also seems to be another door in the back of the room. ] Power room, pretty straightforward, hehe.
Well, it depends. You can offer to collaborate with someone- which can help when you start to doubt someone, or even you start to get doubted yourself. [ they're there to support you ] But.. I don't often agree to collaborate right away. Not when I'm still trying to figure out who can be trusted and not.
[ even though they have someone with them also going through the time loops... ] As it should be. [ onto the next room... they'll come across this. which, right away, there is an immediate large tank of water to the right. for a brief moment there looks to be synthetic fish inside swimming...? but a glitch happens, and suddenly it's empty. weird. ]
..This is the Water Control room. Pretty straightforward, it's where the recycling of water is controlled. It's also the place where I went fishing for the first time... [ a bit wistfully ] It was pretty fun.
Oh, it might be because in one of my loops we ended up releasing synthetic fish into the tank so we could fish... Normally though they don't have any in them.
[ a pause. ] Otome will sleep in the tank, if she's around on the loops.
..It was my friend that was going through their own set of loops. They wanted us to have fun for a change, to forget about the Gnosia. [ they say this fondly. ] I knew they were doing it as a means to cheer me up.
Just giving us a moment to forget about it for one loop. [ yeah... it was fun. ] Ah, of course, because we skipped out on the meeting, everyone else came to the decision of sending the both of us to cold sleep.
[ RIP. but Setsu doesn't seem or sound mad by that decision. it's fair actually? they weren't involved so that can be seen as suspicious ] That was fine. We got to have some fun, even if was shortlived.
[ yeah... it's fine. cold sleep happens.. loop ends... new one begins! ]
You've never tried before?
[ since that's all for the lower deck, Setsu will briefly raise a hand before the scene changes entirely. it just straight up looks like a cafeteria yeah. ]
[ alex walks down the little row of tables, mostly just to be moving, peering around this room. it's so sterile. not like the cafeterias at school that are colorful and noisy and spacious. ]
Uh, I don't actually... remember any other loops. So...
[ she is definitely going to poke at that, curious. also because she likes to have a distraction. ]
I really only know it's loops because... The ghosts kept saying so. That I've done this before. Made them do this before. I can't always remember how conversations went, or what order everything happened in. But it—it feels familiar?
[ while she pokes, a menu is shown. apparently, you can print food here?? hm. it shows ramen, miso soup, dried sardines, and various other foods as options... except no dishes that have fresh fish. or cooked meat. weird. ]
You've gone through enough that you're starting to pick up on it from feeling. That's something... not once has anyone outside Takashi and I noticed we're in loops. But, the structure of the loops seems different compared to the loops you and Jonas both have gone through. As far as I can tell.
[ tapping at dried sardines just to see what happens... ]
Yeah, there are like... small loops throughout the night. Like, five minutes at a time will keep repeating and playing out different. Jonas can't always tell when it's happening.
And then there's the whole night? I think? I think it's different?
[ a tap... and, well, the machine produces a plate of dried sardines. wow. it's still a simulation so even if she eats them it won't really be filling, but there will still be a taste? so, if she does eat them, well i guess let me know. ]
[ good. because Setsu seems to watch her with an "ah" expression when they catch sight of the dried sardines. ]
I see.. the structure does sound a bit complicated. ..Maybe this is a bit strange, but I kinda wish I could experience it for myself. [ to understand? just as they did with their own loops. but they'll gesture at the food for something else to supply her with. ]
It's a food printer. It instantly provides healthy cuisine well-balanced in nutrients. But, the flavor is... not good. All the options are too healthy for some of the people on board. A lot of the ingredients come from the Synthesis Plant.

Minor small loops... inside a bigger loop?
