Re: Calafalas Caravan
Huh. Figures. I know I've been walking around and such, but I'm on the moon. Is there even gravity here? Well, yes, there is, but I mean in a meaningful manner? If I just jump up, will I go flying to the top of the shaft? If I drop down, would even actually hurt me? Disregarding, of course, whatever nasty nightmare-fueled beasts are waiting below.
Rumor has it Jedi could survive in sealed containers and cargo bays over long flights with no access to air by way of meditation and the force. I don't really have ready access to the force, but it does flow through all things. Or so movies, books, and games would have us believe.
I'm at the bottom of a mine shaft on the moon 900 years in the future. I met a space kraken that spatially tunneled to get me from a doomed space ship to a colony months away by said ship in the space of a few minutes. I got here from getting zapped by a motherboard. Yea, pretty sure midichlorians existing would fit right in.
Perhaps some meditation is in order to extend what air I have left.
I first squat down and try jumping, a short hop to see if I get carried to the top of the elevator (assuming it is enclosed). If I do, great. If I don't, great. If I float back to where I was none worse for the wear, great.
I settle down to meditate and contemplate why I took the word of an AI space kraken.
(check back in ~ 3 hours or unexpected results before that.)
Actually, lack of air meaning no sound is not something I'm generally aware of. I am now, of course, but my ability to science is dreadfully low.
Unfair? Since when was life fair? But also, I was fully expecting the elevator to not go up (hence the 'try to get the elevator to go back up'). It is also far more time left for air than I was expecting (I figured maybe 10 hours, but closer to 8).
