Re: time discrepancy I just meant the discussion that the science team had been flying for, whatever it was, 5 cycles or something, and this team had been out for like, 28 or something, and I got the distinct impression a 'cycle' is at least a year but more like...many years. Whether that was a glitch in the AI or some relativistic trickery or what I felt wasn't ever explained? Or maybe it was.
Why are they all deaaad? Did they die from, like, hibernation sickness or something?
Aaahh yeah that was a bit of an unfinished thing. I wanted to bring it up again but I was running short on time.
Just to be clear, a single cycle is one thousand years! And without too many spoilers, I was hoping to expand that into the reason as to how the Paradisaea crew were on that planet for only a few years despite them having many thousands of years of travel time between them. Hence why the shock at hearing that they were only traveling for five cycles. No AI bugging out, it's more in the relativistic trickery I guess, but there really are all those years of space travel between them. Maybe a mystery for another time.
Also nobody's dead from hibernation sickness at the moment but I could definitely add a sad little secret ending or two just to add ANOTHER bad ending to the story lol
