week one
[After the initial introduction of the Overseers, the Champions were left to their own devices in investigating the part of the ship they have access to to their hearts' content. However, the doors that Blaze Dudely and Rox came through are locked tight and cannot be unlocked via PIP.
On Wednesday morning, the same voice that awakened them the previous morning chirps at them again from their PIPs at 7 am on the dot.
Enjoy your week, Champions.]

[And even then, Yuuri seemed to have authority over most of the kitchen related stuff. But eating something other than hard tack and cereals had been wonderful.
Hang on, she's going to grab a pan and set it on the stove top. Probably good to have something to dump the open pack of food in.]
It shouldn't be difficult - it's just got to be heated up, so as long as it's hot it should be fine.

[Hurray, living off krill and chlorella?! But it's been long enough that he doesn't really mind it so. He will just... empty that stuff into the pan then!? Yay cooking!!]
And I should stir it to keep it from burning... right? [All the unsures...]

[Wait... what?]
You had no access to regular food at all...?

Conditions on Mars aren't well-suited for agriculture and trade from Earth has been halted for 15 years now, so we are limited in what can be produced. I've become accustomed to it, so it doesn't bother me, but...
[It's been a while.]
no subject
On Mars?
[Trade with Earth? Fifteen years??]
I--what... when, how? When did humanity reach Mars?!

But okay nah, this isn't the first time he's gotten this reaction so.]
O-oh. Well, about 40 years ago during one of the moon landings, a hypergate to Mars was found and excavated out. Colonization began a couple of years after that, although they soon declared independence and established themselves as the Vers Empire.
[aka what if Apollo 17 found the remains of an alien civilization on the Moon ig]

... And what year are you from...? Out of curiosity. The moon landings happened a long time ago back home, but not one discovered a--uh--[how did he put it?] hypergate to anywhere?
I don't even know what a hypergate is. But I'm sure if it existed, we'd know about it.
no subject
It's the year 2014. It is fairly common knowledge for me back home, but you aren't the first person here who doesn't recognize it. But the hypergate allowed for near-instantaneous travel between the Moon and Mars, so... if it were not for that discovery, I doubt the Vers Empire would exist as it is today.
no subject
Well... yes, I'm from around that time and we're no where near landing people on Mars let alone founding an empire there? Travelling to the moon is limited to scientific probes and study.
no subject
I see... then what is your home like, Ms. Miki? ...Is Earth peaceful?
no subject
.... No. It isn't.
no subject
...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up something unpleasant.
no subject
Don't worry, it's not your fault. Things happened that no one was prepared for.
[Not really. Despite someone's apparent attempts.]
