Haven't been
officially active/present for several threads - been busy. You guys are very prolific (not that that's at all a bad thing!), and my story/review backlog is immense.
Speaking of stories, here's a piece. Takes place around five or six days after "Gathering" for timeline purposes. Might be terrible, pretentious, and/or terribly pretentious.

https://rentry.org/x5g6fz>>53509475>You stepped on a trap, and all your food turned into grimy food! Would you dare to eat it or throw it all away?Throw it all away. Not eating that. Nope.
>During the main story, do you use Pokemon that you've recruited during your side quests and whatnot or it's just you and your partner all the way?Yeah, I'm happy to have recruits join along.
>Are you the type of person that rushes through the story-related dungeons or do you take your time and do the side quests?Depends on what I'm feeling. Sometimes I just want to get to the next bit of story/lore, and sometimes I'm happy to slow down a bit.
>The ultimate choice: At the end, you had to choose to stay or leave?"Ask again later"
>Extra QuestionI'm inclined to think of them like recovery disks/backup servers. Like, you don't want to put your recovery software on the main computer (tower), because then you won't be able to access it in an emergency, right? They need to be in other places. And then maybe they serve a dual role of taking some of the "temporal load" from the main tower while they're in place. The tower, when whole, could probably support all of it, but if you have extra processors (gears), why not use them?[/spoilers]
