Nitori Quest 3 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[It's Purvis!]

> Tell Koakuma that while  browsing some more would still be alright  we should also delay the departure only by some more since we have to lenghten our next route for our known safety reasons.. that rather recent "Missing Stars incident-related misunderstanding with Ojin Hachi"
until we have managed to resolve it...

>... and, both to Aoi and. Koakuma,  that our next destination and route is set to"the Daitengu Constellation through the around-and-avoid route from Ojin Hachi 's domains".

>"I mean, I don't have to do it all day," Koa says. "I haven't forgot we're in a race, just, you know, I could. But I'm ready when you are."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "I getcha. And we're committed to come back here, for multiple reasons. But yeah, let's get a move on. It's time we actually got down to the primary business reason we're up here."
> Blink.
> "Oh, wait. I got myself something to do while you're driving, but do you have something to do while I'm driving?"

>"Figured I'd just watch the sails like before?" Koa says with a shrug.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Sure, if you're okay with that."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Sure, if you're okay with that."

>"I'll figure out something," she says.

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "Alrighty. Let's head back, then."
> Head back to the rocket.

[It's Purvis!]

> Nod.
> "Alrighty. Let's head back, then."
> Head back to the rocket.

>You return to the rocket, your crew mates piling in and making themselves comfortable.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Alright, let's see here..."
> Get to work plotting a course to get to the Daitengu constellation while going around Hachi territory.

> Get to work plotting a course to get to the Daitengu constellation while going around Hachi territory.

>You set to work plotting the course, while Aoi checks on the engine, and Koa just sort of mills about. Soon enough, you have it done.
>"Everything looks good here," Aoi says.

[Kilgamayan]

> What timeline are we looking at here?

[It's Purvis!]

> What timeline are we looking at here?

>You won't be getting there til sometime tomorrow, most likely.

[Kilgamayan]

> Is there any plan for somewhere to stop and sleep in the calculations?

[It's Purvis!]

> Is there any plan for somewhere to stop and sleep in the calculations?

>You can't really work that in; it depends on how much you drift overnight.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Alright, ladies, this is gonna be a long one. It'll be worth planning out sleeping in shifts."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Alright, ladies, this is gonna be a long one. It'll be worth planning out sleeping in shifts."

>"Oh, really?" says Koa.
>"We'll have to be able to cover all the duties, if we're going to do that." Aoi says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "You thinking about also giving piloting a shot?"

[It's Purvis!]

> "You thinking about also giving piloting a shot?"

>"Well, if we wanna plan this out," Aoi says
>"It's easy," Koa cuts in. "Me and Nitori can fly, you can Nitori can work the engine, so the pairs are me and Nitori, then you and me, then Nitori and you. After that it's just working it out so everyone can rest good enough."

[Kilgamayan]

> How are we at cooking?

[It's Purvis!]

> How are we at cooking?

>Passable. About the only things you've learned to do well are festival type foods, which just aren't a thing you can do here.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> To Aoi: "Will you want a hand with food prep?"

[It's Purvis!]

> To Aoi: "Will you want a hand with food prep?"

>"I wouldn't mind," says Aoi. "If you're awaken when it needs done and I'm not."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Sure, I can help with that."
> Get to work with our party planning a rotating schedule so that we can have two people awake and one person asleep at all times through the night and into the next day.

> Get to work with our party planning a rotating schedule so that we can have two people awake and one person asleep at all times through the night and into the next day.

>Using Koa's guidelines, it's not terribly hard. Ultimately, the only real question is how long these shifts will be and what order you want to put people to rest in.

[Kilgamayan]

> What general time of day is it right now?

[It's Purvis!]

> What general time of day is it right now?

>It's well into the afternoon.

[Kilgamayan]

> If we each slept 6 hours, one at a time and back-to-back-to-back, would we theoretically arrive at our destination in the middle of someone's sleep time?

[It's Purvis!]

>Hard to tell. But it seems likely.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Okay. With all that, it seems like the part we should hammer out first and then work around is how long people will want to sleep, and in what order. Odds are good we won't all be able to get in 6 hours before we arrive, so either we all get less than that, someone sacrifices, or someone gets left behind alone on the ship when we get there."

>"Not it," Koa says.
>"You are if that's how it shakes out," Aoi says. "I don't mind if I am or not. So just put us how you need us, captain."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "...Well...we could do something where I sleep first, and then you both sleep at the same time. Then we could all get some more time in."
