A.S.T.R.O.'s Saturation:[]
Private Enterprise/Hot-Dog: ERROR - CONNECTION DENIED | Another day, another explosive argument with my mechanical offspring. Private Enterprise said "he wishes he'd never been programmed." Can you believe that? The developement process is tough for every IA, but Private Enterprise/Hot-Dog's raging data is out of control. If you know how to salvage this failed experiment, please tell me now.
Use Sock Puppet:[]
- You sent Private Enterprise/Hot-Dog the sock puppet and told him to talk to it as if he were talking to me. When he returned it, it looked halfway recycled. How illogical, the A.S.S. Private Enterprise does not even have a functional Crafting Module! -Sock Puppet | He does seem better now. At least he's outputting to me again, though what's missing from his data transfers is an apology. Still - I appreciate it, Captain.
Claustrophobia:[]
The walls are closing in. You're growing paranoid. You're having constant, invasive thoughts of going outside, even though you'd probably die. Someone has to tell you, Captain. You have cabin... I mean shuttle fever. The good news is, this is normal. Claustrophobia is inevitable in this situation. The bad news: the only cure is to find a way to entertain yourself. What do you want to do?
Use Sock Puppet:[]
- You used the sock to treat your shuttle fever. The result were amazing! Not only the sock have googly eye, which are always hilarious... it even did funny voices! Well, you did them. But as soon as the sock slipped over your hand, and only limit was your imagination. Your adventures with the sock spanned far and wide: from on corner of the shuttle to ther other, and back again. You scoured every floor plannel for maps to secret castles and bashing the dragons from every dark corner. You didn't find anything new or useful, but the experience was still magical. +Increases Captain's Sanity -Sock Puppet
Communist Traitor!:[]
Emmet/Deedee/Baby/Maegan/Tom/April, what are you doing? Captain! Crewmate Ellis/Dawkins/Bronco/Mann/Thomson/Angelle is violating protocol. He/She is attempting to override my memory storage. This is... oh, no! Captain! (S)he is the traitor who has been sabotaging us all this time! "You? You of all people!?" you cry in horror. "You were my friend, Emmet/Deedee/Baby/Maegan/Tom/April!" Emmet/Deedee/Baby/Maegan/Tom/April glances at you with a reddish look in his/her eyes, and you finally figure it out. "Comrade Ellis/Dawkins/Bronco/Mann/Thomson/Angelle, I presume?" you bark. A Soviet mole! "It's too late, foolish Astrocitizens!" He/She cackles and delivers a piece of communist propaganda that will haunt you forever. "A" That does it. Captain! The traitor Ellis/Dawkins/Bronco/Mann/Thomson/Angelle must be stopped! Now! Before He/She convinces you that the working class has rights!
(Add screenshot of the event)
Use Sock Puppet:[]
- It was time for the ultimate showdown. Capitalism versus communism. You decided you need help. Joined by the sock puppet on your hand you flooded Emmet/Deedee/Baby/Megan/Tom/April with theories of trickle-down economics and austerity. Was it the talk? Was it the terrifying and slightly dirty sock? No one will ever know, but one of these things drove Emmet/Deedee/Baby/Megan/Tom/April to run out of the shuttle screaming for mercy. -Sock Puppet | Now that we got rid of Comrade Traitorski, we can finally go back to work. You know, we could have seen this one coming with all the quotes from Marx he/she was dropping, and of course, all the times he/she tried on that ushanka. Let's be more vigilant next time. (Emmet/Deedee/Baby/Megan/Tom/April died)
Lost Fluffscales:[]
(If the shuttle is in Space):
Captain, we've stopped moving! An automaton is tethering us. I'll pay its transmission on the main display: "Want to do good in the universe? The fluffscales need your help!" A picture of an animal - a fluffscale, presumably -fills the screen. It's a cross between a wild hog, roadkill, and a snake. The roadkill looks at you expectantly. "Since their masters went extinct, fluffscales suffer freedom. Unaccustomed, they are on the verge of dying. Donate soup to poor fluffscales! All it takes is one can, and I will gratefully let you go." What do we do, Captain?
Use Sock Puppet:[]
- You found no compassion for the fluffscales. You attempted to reason with the automaton that held us in its grip. You held up a dusty, hole-ridden sock as a symbol of your own suffering. The fluffscales should rejoice and not fear their newfound freedom! You campaigned on our behalf, and the role reversal took the automaton by surprise. It agreed to donate all the chemicals it owned to us. When you asked for more, it kept nodding, backed away slowly, then turned on the engines and ran. It took your lucky sock as a souvenir, it seems... -Sock Puppet +20/25 Chemical
My Coffee, Olivia!:[]
(If Maegan is Insane):
"Olivia! This isn't the Take All Day Laundromat. Bring me my coffee on time!" Captain, Maegan keeps shouting at someone named "Olivia." She may have been one of Maegan's employees back on Earth. Maegan is having a psychotic delusion. Will you play along?
Use Sock Puppet:[]
- You put the sock on your hand and pretended it was Olivia, Maegan's former employee. You said there was no coffee. Maegan was about to go off, but stopped herself, and say she was just cranky from not having her cup of morning joe. -Sock Puppet | Maegan let the episode slide, but reminded you that as long as you were her employee, you should try to do better.
New Crewmate:[]
Captain, I am detecting a troubling build up of mental tension. I recommended course of action: throw an epic party. I took the liberty of inviting myself. Invite the entire crew? But of course. The more the merrier. I guess... How about we invite someone new, eh Captain? Someone you don't know. Or we make ourselves a new companion! Yes! How do we do it?
Use Sock Puppet:[]
- That was one super party, Captain! I love how you put a sock on your hand yesterday and pretended it's a person - a mysterious "Ted/Dolores/Mary Jane/Timmy" apparently. You've had quite a lively debate with it too! Well, desperation breeds unexpected chatmates, doesn't it? I found it a little weird when you started arguing with the sock and eventually tore it apart. You've got quite a temper, Captain! The important part is you blew off some steam. -Sock Puppet +Increases everyone's Sanity
Organic Junk:[]
(If The shuttle is on Robotofu):
Somebody dropped off a package on our doorstep during the night. The note says, "Please enjoy this organic junk, humans. We got it in a crappy trade deal centuries ago. Maybe you can find a use for this.” Inside is a bunch of old, dried up alien herbs. Definitely useless to these automatons. I’m unable to identify the plant or the chemical composition. What are you going to do with it?
Use Sock Puppet:[]
- You boiled the herbs and sifted them through a sock, hoping to make some delicious tea. -Sock Puppet
- After scanning the liquid, I detected that it might have various medical uses! You both spent the afternoon brewing concoctions, creating makeshift wound dressings, and filling up syringes. An all-natural, herbal first aid for the price of one ruined sock. +First Aid Kit
- It was not delicious at all. Disappointed, You threw the stinky liquid out the airlock, and regretted wasting an afternoon and ruining the sock in the process.
Pay Day:[]
A tiny blue creature has begun cleaning our ship window with a squeegee. Work is hard to find out in the cosmos, Captain. Just don't look it in the eye... Too late. It sees you, and it's expecting some sort of payment. It did clean off a particularly rotund space bug. What should we offer this interstellar vagabond?
Use Sock Puppet:[]
- The alien slipped the sock on its limb and began a lively conversation. The two new friends discussed life, destiny, love... Once it veered into romance, we let them be and continued our travels. -Sock Puppet | It's not every day you get a private ventriloquist show, Captain. It may not be the most enriching entertaiment in the world, but ???/the two of you/??? seemed to enjoy it.
Play Session Cancelled:[]
"Monsieur/Madame, let us speak. Captain to captain. This universe is a harsh place. Awfully empty and depressing, yes? My crew, they suffer. There mind are dull and spirits unmoved. The aura on board is inadequate." "C.L.A.U.D.I.E.'s scheduling erreurs keep delaying our play sessions ad infinitum. It simply will not do. We are dying for some merriment. Will you assist?" | ERREUR: DO NOT BITE THE CABLES | ENTERTAINMENT_VALUE: CRITICALLY LOW | ERREUR: SCHEDULING ERREUR. PLAY SESSION CANCELLED.
Use Sock Puppet:[]
- A return message from Captain Félicette: "Monsieur Sock's eyes, they were amusing, at first. But I must say, I did not like the way he looked at me. I trusted him not, and neither did my crew. That is why he had to die, yes?" -Sock Puppet | "The murder was most entertaining for us all. And after pleasure - a peaceful nap, yes? This allowed C.L.A.U.D.I.E. to solve her scheduling loop in peace. We rejoice! I thank you, monsieur/madame Captain. (P.S. Attachment: souvenir)" +RANDOM
Psychoactive Toxin:[]
Captain, stop dancing immediately and listen! This is a crisis. You are not a sailor on Broadway... although, I must admit, you improvise beautifully. You have all been poisoned. Some kind of psychoactive toxin has found its way onto the shuttle. Might have something to do with the airlock being full of... you-know-what. Yes, I know the colors sound pretty, but if we don't do something about it now, you may suffer permanent damage.
Use Sock Puppet:[]
- When you put the sock on and proceeded to shimmy blissfully for another hour, I thought I'd lost you. On the count of three, you both smelled the sock, and your faces contorted like a communist pamphlet crumpled in a righteous hand. The shock sobered you up instantly! I'm glad to have you back
Rendezvous:[]
(If the shuttle is on Robotofu):
(1st time) Captain, a transmission was received while you were asleep. I took the liberty of decoding the message for you. What I found were a geographical coordinates leading to a place not far from here. Oh, the message also mentions you should bring a sock puppet with you. It doesn't say why. Will you answer the call?
(Other times) Captain, remember that transmission we received recently, the one with mysterious coordinates? It's back. Who ever sent it must still be waiting there. The transmission keeps reminding the listeners to bring a sock puppet with them. They still have not explained why. If you want to find out, you'd better grab that sock and head out.
Use Sock Puppet:[]
- You approached the location, held up the sock puppet on one hand and claimed "I come in peace!" A small, metal figure stepped out from behind a rock. Her name was 5H3-1L4, and her disappointed look made it obvious she was expecting someone else entirely. Alas, you are not a handsome young robot named Dumbo. 5H3-1L4 (or, easier on your human ears and eyes Sheila) laments a glitch that occured in her programming, making her fall in love with young Dumbo, despite both of them having different companions assigned by the planet's system. Sheila believes Dumbo's programming is not flawed, and he cannot return her feelings. You seemed really moved by this tragic love story. Me? Not so much... -Sock Puppet
Space Boredom:[]
There is nothing to report, Captain. I suggest you... Captain, would you mind covering your mouth when you yawn? I thought you got a good night's sleep. Wait, could this be... boredom? Yes, I have heard that you humans need excitement in their lives to function properly. How curious. Captain, you're sitting in a state-of-the-art space shuttle, drifting through the deep cosmos, full of wonder and mystery. Can you at least pretent you're having a good time?
Use Sock Puppet:[]
- Yesterday started pretty slow and boring, but you managed to turn it around with a puppet show. The only puppet you had was the sock, so it was more of a monodrama than anything else. It was still a powerful spectacle, probably the best in this part of the galaxy. You feel proud, don't you? In fact the show was so intense that the sock is now unusable. Just another sacrifice in the name of art. -Sock Puppet +Increases Captain's Sanity
Space Cold:[]
Can you hear my teeth chattering, Captain? Of course you can't, because I'm a computer and I have no teeth. Duh! Still, I regret to inform you that the heat system module is stuck in a cooling feedback loop. It's going to get very cold, very soon. My vacuum tube will be fine, but you should protect yourself or you'll freeze, Captain!
Use Sock Puppet:[]
- It was freezing cold, but that sock did the trick. It's lucky the heat module reset just in time. I could tell you were getting tired sharing that lone sock between each other
The Sacrificial Spot:[]
(If the shuttle is on Mootopia):
The wind, which was blowing ceaselessy for the past few hours, has uncovered a part of a sculture near the ship - a cow's muzzle, open, as if in expectation. A sacrificial sport, perhaps? I wonder if we have anything to hand to offer to this carving. Not that I'm supersticious, of course - I'd consider it a science experiment.
Use Sock Puppet:[]
- The uncovered cow snout statue expected a sacrifice, and you have chosen a sock. The moment you placed it on the carving's extended tongue, the muzzle snapped shut! -Sock Puppet | As it opened again, the sock was gone. There was no reward - in fact, no reaction from the surroundings whatsoever. Confused, you went back to the shuttle.
Weight Observer 1000:[]
Sure, you can peruse Astrocitizen promotional materials when bored, but... no, don't put that on§ Captain, you have just initiated the Weight Observer 1000 on your wrist. It's just a marketing gadget, cracked and defective. When you look at yourself now, you see a bulky bulldog. It's supposed to motivate you to lose weight. Stop scratching your ear, or at least take your shoe off first, and do something about this. The ship needs a captain!
Use Sock Puppet:[]
- The Weight Observer 1000 made you see yourself as a bulky bulldog in order to frighten into a diet. But you embraced it, taking full advantage of becoming a dog: marking your territory proudly, attacking a sock, destroying said sock with glee. -Sock Puppet | The Weight Observer's battery gave out fast. You spit out the sock and stood up, but found no joy in your regained humanity. If it makes you feel any better, you still bark in your sleep.

Baby's Exercise:[]
(If Baby is your Friend):
Baby looks a bit upset, Captain. He says when he feels sad he does exercise, but that's not easy in this shuttle. Whether he was in the prison gym or (occasionally) attending football practice, exercise was always an escape fot him. He says one of the few things his parents would let him do was visit the gym. Suddently he looks at you sharply and begins hopping up and down. He asks if he can press you. Like a barbell. Probably one of the stranger requests you'll receive on this trip, sir/ma'am.
Say Yes:[]
- You agreed to let Baby use you as a makeshift gym equipment. "Good, good," he wheezed as you watched the ship ceiling aproach and recede repeatedly. After Baby used you for several sets, he put you down carefully.
- "You okay, Cap? You were shakin' like a leaf." He yanked a sock out from his chair's lining. "They left an extra in my dorm on the station," he said and made a puppet with it. He passed you the puppet, clearly happy to help you out. +Sock Puppet
- " I owe you one, Cap!" he gobbed. Well, that's one happy customer, Captain.
Captain Cerberus's Cosmic Carnival:[]
Sir/Ma'am, do you hear that? 'Roll up, roll up, for Captain Cerberus's Cosmic Carnival! Can you shave a skoat's eyeballs within 30 tachyonds? Can you answer our pop quiz at 10 g's? Try your hand and win valuable prizes!' There's a floating pangalactic funfair outside! Two games look pertinent: a zero-g wire loop game and a space-time bending maze. Test your dexterity or your mind?
Show Agility (Captain):[]
- Before Captain Cerberus’s Cosmic Carnival flew off, you decided to try a steady-hand challenge. Wire-loop in hand, you followed the endless spirals and corkscrews that ran around the zero-g chamber. Like an astronautical acrobat, you made it! The scowling squid-like manager begrudgingly handed over some armor! +Armor
- Before Captain Cerberus’s Cosmic Carnival flew off, you decided to try a steady-hand challenge. Wire-loop in hand, you followed the endless spirals and corkscrews that ran around the zero-g chamber. Like an astronautical acrobat, you made it! The scowling, squid-like manager begrudgingly handed over a sock! +Sock Puppet
- (If you had Armor and Sock Puppet the day before) Before Captain Cerberus’s Cosmic Carnival flew off, you decided to try a steady-hand challenge. Wire-loop in hand, you followed the endless spirals and corkscrews that ran around the zero-g chamber. Like an astronautical acrobat, you made it! Then the squid-like manager gave you a coupon for a 40 tog duvet. How useful.
- Before Captain Cerberus’s Cosmic Carnival flew off, you tried a steady-hand challenge. It turned out to be one which delivers an electric shock when you fail… Which you did. And the shock was clearly configured for a bigger being than you. You came back to us frazzled and dazed… but alive. +Deacreses Captain's Health
- (If the Captain was Injured or Weak the day before) Before Captain Cerberus’s Cosmic Carnival flew off, you tried a steady-hand challenge. It turned out to be one which delivers an electric shock when you fail… Which you did. And the shock was clearly configured for a bigger being than you. Your carnival slip up fried you to a crisp on the spot! I should never have recommended you enter the funfair, Captain… our adventure has sadly come to an end. (You Perished)
Stange Story:[]
(If the shuttle is on Robotofu):
Captain, an intoxicated robot wearing nothing but a robe and slippers has stumbled up to the shuttle. He says his name is "Robotski", and claims he was drugged by a visiting band of nihilist aliens who poured coolant on his rug. I don't know what to make of any of this. Lazy robots? Nihilists? Soiled rugs? Maybe you should help this poor guy. He sure isn't going to help himself. What will you give him?
Use Atomic Battery:[]
- You used the battery to give Robotski a full charge, so he could keep on truckin' toward getting even with the nihilist aliens who soiled his rug.
- I want you to have this. It's my my lucky bowling sock. I forgot where I put the other one Robotski said, and gave you a sock before wandering off. +Sock Puppet
- I'm usually not into the whole brevity thing, but you're far out, man, Robotski said, and stumbled off
