Book Five, Chapter 27: Deep Sleep Tech
It was impossible to forget that I was in space.
Even as I stood up and walked around to explore the futuristic vehicle, I could always see the stars through the numerous viewports around the ship. I didn’t know if it was the result of Carousel’s magic or just the magic of space travel, but I felt an overwhelming awe as we soared through the final frontier.
I had a theory that I was never able to disprove.
I believed that the ship we were on had nothing to do with the storyline we were running. It was only there to transport us to the setting of the real story. Part of that was the aesthetic difference between it and the rest of what we had seen, but more than that, it was the sterile environment.
There was nothing to be learned here; there were no clues about the storyline hidden throughout most of the ship.
The NPCs were also very uninterested in the amazing technology that they were operating mindlessly.
It was almost as if they themselves didn’t realize how incredible this ship was.
I couldn’t shake that feeling.
There were only two NPCs actually awake aboard the ship. There were three others, but I wouldn’t see them for a few hours after we took off.
