“Wait, why did she welcome you back?” You realize there’s an inconsistency! One so strange, you had to point it out. “You didn’t reach the moon, did you…?”
“During our [FAILED MISSION], my [CREWMATES] and I never stepped on [MOON SOIL]... But the [SPACE ANOMALY] jogged this [humble explorer]’s memory to force me to recall the reason for my unwavering [PASSION]! I, GALACTIC CALAMITY, already reached the [MOON] once before! [HAEIOU, HAEIOU, HAEIOU!]” Galactic starts skipping in place again.
“What? How…?” You need some answers.
“Through the [VENUS LINE]!” Galactic points high up.
“W-Wait, don’t tell me the ‘Venus Line’ and the ‘Space Anomaly’ are one and the same?” You believe the reason the Space Anomaly unlocked one of Galactic’s memories is because it was the same thing all over again! But… if that’s the case, what does it have to do with Bombastus…?
“[AFFIRMATIVE!]” This space madman starts laughing to his heart’s content!
“...You know I tried to puzzle this out by myself, but I think it’s better to ask: What *is* the Venus Line?” You should’ve started here.
“A [place] where you’re in tune with the entire [UNIVERSE] and every [living being] in it. [YOU] become [ONE] with [everyone]’s [thoughts], [feelings], [anxieties], [memories], and [knowledge].” Galactic only speaks from experience and nothing more. Sounds… terrifying…? You’re not a monk or someone like that who would appreciate this otherworldly experience.
“How come the Venus Line became a space anomaly?” This sounds more like spiritualistic shit than space shit! It’s like being in a higher state of being than visiting a better Pluto.
“The [VENUS LINE] is connected through the entire [GALAXY]. IT MERELY APPEARED THERE. Any other [ANALYSIS] is [PURE CONJECTURE].” Galactic is dying to know.
“So you fell out to the moon by accident after you went into the Venus Line...?” Back to puzzling things again.
“[AFFIRMATIVE!] [HAEIOU!] This [SPACEMAN] was a mere [CHILD] playing at the PARK before getting DRAGGED IN! WHAT A [JOYOUS OCCASION].” Galaxy thinks he’s the luckiest man alive. Which makes you wonder...
“How are you even alive...?” You raise an eyebrow. If you’re exposed in space, shouldn’t you, like, instantly die…?
“THAT’S ONE OF THE [MYSTERIES] THIS STARGAZER IS [PLANNING] TO RESOLVE! [HAEIOU, HAEIOU, HAEIOU, HAEIOU, HAEIOU!!!]” The astronaut poses as he swims in laughter. This is one wish Naiad can’t help you with…
“So you’ve reached the Venus Line twice, huh?” That sounds frightening once, you can’t imagine doing it twice.
“THRICE! I expected a FOURTH, but I ENDED UP [HERE].” Galactic shrugs. That’s the most casual he has ever acted. “[CURIOSITY] is the FUEL that embarks us onto [GREAT ADVENTURES]! And [THIS] is one of THEM!” The spaceman loves every moment, even if things don’t go according to plan…
