no man's sky . free exploration traveler

[casualtraveler]

[ I feel a sense of relief when I exit my ship after a very long warp through space. Now is my chance to resupply on materials and create another warp cell for my next jump. My scanner reads that the air is breathable as a breeze presses gently against my suit. It entices me to feel it against my bare skin. I could remove my helmet and breathe natural oxygen for the first time in what seems like years. ]


> [ I choose not to remove my helmet. Even though the risk is minimal, it's not worth it. ]

[ After lingering away from my ship for a short time, I notice there are lifeforms here. The scanner reads non-hostile, though I switch my multi-tool from its mining beam to it's boltcaster mode to be safe. I should decide if I'm going to approach them or keep my distance to observe what they do. ]


> [ I decide to approach with caution. I present a greeting in that of a wave of my hand. ]

Comments

[One of the lifeforms seems to be sizing you up as you approach, but the apprehension fades when you greet her. She waves back with a smile.]

Hey there!

[casualtraveler]

[ It speaks. I expect gibberish, but I understand it all. How strange. ]

Do you know this place? Does it have a name, I mean? Do you?

[notparenthesis]

[She seems a little amused by this question.]

I do, in fact! It's Curly Brace. Nice to meet you.

As far as this place, though... I'm not too sure. People call it different things. A lot of them just say "here", which I guess is as good an indicator as any given the circumstances.

[casualtraveler]

Nice to meet you.

[ My scanner uploads the the lifeform's name to a database somewhere. Credits are added to my account instantly; A small voice confirming the transaction. ]

I'm not sure if 'here' qualifies for discovery. Or rather it already has? I'm not too concerned. It seems like a pleasant place.

Why are you here?

[ohboov]

[The purple alien was just shining up what appears to be a car but with the upgrades strapped and attached to it, it was hardly a car anymore. He turns from Slushious at the sound of a voice and looks up at the space traveler, his eyes widening.

And then a smile breaks across his face with a gleeful sound at the wave, him waving back enthusiastically.]

Ahhh! Greeting you!!

(Stage whispering in the most awful fake Australian accent imaginable:) Lookie there, chums! Wot a bee-yewt! We've got ourselves a bona-fiday astraunaut on our hands! Now, let's see if I can't wrangle him for a close-up!
