[System]

AD 6274, radiation pollution invaded the Island Galaxy and is getting worse as time gone by, the living environment of human was seriously eroded.

Plants hardly survived, rare diseases being found, gravity disoriented, planetary rotation interfered, there are planets exploding all the time, causing lots of debris keep floating through the universe. As they fall into the planets, explosions further destroy the living environment.

The remaining humans either await the end of the world on the planet they inhabit or be driven away by radiation in search of new habitats.

[Me]

My name is Munisa Vangel (Norwegian word communicate “kommunisere”, ordinary “vanlig”). I was born in the wasteland of this small planet. My father was an engineer and my mother a botanist.

When I was young, we lived a happy life. My mother’s plants were thriving, so we didn’t need to worry about food.

But a few years later, radiation invaded our planet. Our plants could no longer thrive under radiation, and their production gradually decreased.

Dad took Mom to the spaceship he built, hoping to find better living environment and more food in other planets. Mom went with him.

Years passed by, I’ve grown up, they haven’t come back yet, and I want to find them.

[Leaving Planet 0]

System: I found the little spaceship that my parents built when they were young in an abandoned warehouse. Although it got some malfunction later, my parents turned around to build a larger ship, but it can maintain normal operation with a little repair.

(Me): 1. Repair the spaceship

System: The spaceship has been repaired. Would you like to go in and have a look?

(Me): 1. Go into the spaceship

System: There is a yellow map in the drawer on the side of the helm.

(Me): 1. Open the map

[Enter the map, guide the player to click Planet A]

[Flying Animation]

[Arriving at Planet A, meet a young girl and her father]

Father: Hello young miss, what’s your name? Welcome to Planet A. I am Huko Rokberg (Norwegian word “hukommelse” for memory, “røyk og blomst” for smoke and flower). You can call me Uncle Huko.

(Me): Hi I am Munisa. Why are your planet looks so barren, Uncle Huko?

Father: 20 years ago, a large meteorite fell and blew up the planet with a big fire. We are the only people left here, and now we shall be leaving soon.

(Me):

1. Why? What happened?

2. Where are you going?

Father:

1. My daughter Lytt (Norwegian word meaning “to listen”) is seriously ill due to radiation, and her days are numbered. I want to be here with her and wait for the end of the universe together.

2. We are not going anywhere. We will stay here. My daughter Lytt is seriously ill, and her days are numbered.

{Below are two lines of dialogue that convey the same information but in different sequences}

(Me):

1. Seriously ill? Is there no way to treat it?

2. What about you? Do you want to stay with her?

Father: (sighs)

1. There is a prescription. When I was young, I accidentally found a cure for this radiation sickness.

But firstly, the herb H necessary for this prescription cannot survive on Planet A, and secondly, this prescription can only delay the development of the disease to a certain extent, and has relatively serious side effects, which cannot be completely cured.

If it is just sick, it can maintain balance and prevent further development of the disease, but Lytt’s disease is not in the early stage, it may not be effective.

2. Yes, the radiation on Planet A is already very serious. When Lytt is gone, I have nothing else to do, so I might just watch her here with our memories and wait for the end of the universe.

(Me):

1. But Lytt is still very young, it’s really a pity to leave the world so early.

2. Do you want to take my spaceship to find other planets with less serious radiation?

Father:

1. I also hope that she can live longer and travel the universe with me, but it seems that there is really nothing to do now. The radiation on Planet A is very serious, I can’t delay her condition but only watch its development.

2. (shakes his head) Not necessarily useful, Lytt seems to be in good shape now, but finding a habitable planet may not delay her condition. I don’t want Lytt take her hope but spend the last of her days on a useless journey.

(Me):

1. If you settle on a planet with less radiation, will it be able to delay the development of Lytt’s disease? You can join me in my spceship, we’ll go now!

2. Is there any other way? Is there no cure for Lytt’s disease?

Father:

1. (shakes his head) Not necessarily useful, Lytt seems to be in good shape now, but finding a habitable planet may not delay her condition. I don’t want Lytt take her hope but spend the last of her days on a useless journey.

2. There is a prescription. When I was young, I accidentally found a cure for this radiation sickness. But firstly, the herb H necessary for this prescription cannot survive on Planet A, and secondly, this prescription can only delay the development of the disease to a certain extent, and has relatively serious side effects, which cannot be completely cured. If it is just sick, it can maintain balance and prevent further development of the disease, but Lytt’s disease is not in the early stage, it may not be effective.

(Me): (important choice warning)

1. Maybe herb H can survive on Planet 0? I want to bring the seeds back to try.

2. I still want to invite you to join me to find a habitable planet. Even on the way, Lytt will have a good time to see the scenery in the universe. Would you like to?

Father:

1. Do you really want to? Lytt’s condition may not wait for you.

2. (Silence for a long time) What you said also makes sense, let me think about it…

(Me): (important choice warning)

1.1. Yes, I would like to!

1.2. Let me think. (Go back to the previous question to choose)

2.1. Lytt will also hope that you can live a good life after she leaves, and finding a habitable planet is the best choice!

2.2. If you really don’t want to, I don’t want to force you, we must have other ways. (Go back to the previous question to choose)

Father:

1. (takes out the seeds) Thank you Miss Munisa, then I will trouble you, but don’t hold out your hopes too much, we are all prepared for the worst.

2. All right, then we’ll go with you.

Lytt: (interrupting) (in a weak voice) Dad! What are you talking about? (coughing).

Father: My sweetie,

1. Miss Munisa wants to help you with making herbs that can save your life.

2. Miss Munisa wants to take us to find a planet with less radiation pollution. Are you willing to go?

Lytt:

1. Thank you Miss Munisa, I really want to have more days and live happily with my father.

2. Of course! If we find it, daddy you don’t have to live on Planet A enduring its bad environment.

(Me):

1. Don’t worry, I will try my best to help you. (Receives the seed)

2. Yes, then let’s go.

[Choice 1]

[Flying Animation]

(The player brings seeds of H back to planet 0 for planting and finds that H can survive on planet 0)

(Me): H survived! I’m going to bring it to Lytt. Hope H can delay her illness.

(Pop up the map to guide player to choose to go to planet A)

(Me): Uncle Huko, H sruvived! Let’s make the medicine.

Father: (happy) That’s great. It needs 8 units energy. Okay, we have enough energy.

[Day 1]

Lytt: (After drinking the medicine, her cough is lighter) Dad, I feel a lot better.

[Day 3]

Lytt: (After drinking the medicine, coughing as usual) Dad, the effect of the medicine seems to be weakening, I am still very uncomfortable…

[Day 4]

Lytt: (drinking medicine, coughing as usual) Dad, my stomach hurts…

Father: Oh, there are side effects. Since Lytt’s condition is already quite severe, the frequency of taking medicine is much higher than that of mild cases. If this goes on, her body will collapse due to the side effects…

Lytt: (uncomfortable to speak) Dad… Dad…, is making the medicine… energy-consuming? If that’s the case… I won’t drink it anymore, I’ll die, you guys. .. can save the energy… for your journey, okay?

Father: (hard to decide)

Lytt: Miss Munisa, didn’t you say… to find a habitable planet, when I leave… please take my dad, I don’t want him… to be dragged down by me all the time.

(Me):

1. Yes, Uncle Huko, planet A is already very uninhabitable. Why don’t you go with me. If we find a planet that is less affected by radiation, you can live in safety for a while, why not do it?

2. Uncle Huko, just go with me. You love Lytt so much, and Lytt loves you too. You will fulfill Lytt’s last wish and live with her hope, right?

Father: (reluctantly) Well, okay.

[Day 5]

System: Lytt’s condition suddenly deteriorated after she refused to take anymore medicine. She had a severe headache and groaned all night, and then fell into a coma. Uncle Huko’s eyes were full of distress, but he couldn’t do anything. I was also very sad.

[That night, Uncle Huko waited for Lytt to fall asleep and then come into my spaceship]

Father: Thank you for helping to relieve Lytt’s condition (tries to laugh). Although we still get to this result, I hope you don’t feel too sad. It may be like this sometimes, trying to help others but still receiving the worst outcome.

I promised Lytt yesterday because I didn’t want her to be sad, but I won’t leave here. This is my final decision. You don’t have to help that little girl to persuade me.

My family is buried under the ruins, and my wife is buried in front of the house. Maybe you saw the cross when you came. Well, and my child is about to return to her mother’s hug.

I don’t want to leave here, not just because I have lost the courage to survive in the apocalypse, but also because this planet means so much to me that I can’t abandon it ever.

Having said that, I want to ask you one thing.

(Me): Sure.

Father: I hope you can help me set off some fireworks.

(Me): Fireworks? Why?

Father: When there was no radiation, Planet A was called Fireworks Star, which was famous for producing raw materials for fireworks.

My family used to run a fireworks factory here, and every day there are experimental fireworks blooming in the night sky, with different colors and shapes.

Hard to believe, our planet is being destroyed by the fireworks that we are proud of.

At the beginning of radiation invasion, when meteorites began to appear, we could strengthen the warehouse to avoid explosions, but later, meteorites became more and more frequent, causing more and more serious damage.

Finally, one day, we couldn’t defend them any longer. The falling meteorite hit right onto the warehouse. With a big “bang”, the world fell into silence. What appeared in the night sky was no longer beautiful fireworks, but roaring flames.

All my family died in that disaster, and I was the only one left, (smiling bitterly), because that night I was with my wife, hidden in the woods far away from the factory.

Lytt has always wanted to see the fireworks with her own eyes since she knew the history of this planet, but she never mentioned it because she was afraid that it would make me sad, but I know her.

No one would hate a thing as beautiful as fireworks, even if it only lasts for transient seconds. I still remember how the fireworks star was crowded with customers years ago.

Now Lytt is too sick, she could leave anytime, I want to fulfill her wish before she leaves, are you willing to help me?

(Me): Yes of course. (System prompt: Firework production -5 energy)

[Day 7, early morning]

System: Lytt didn’t make it through this night. She stopped breathing when it was just dawn. Fortunately, Uncle Huko and I prepared the fireworks in advance.

The fireworks last night were gorgeous and magnificent, lighting up the whole dark sky. Although they were only for one person, they stayed in the hearts of three of us.

Many days earlier, I was excited to return to Planet 0 with the seeds. My heart was full of the joy that I could help Lytt, but I didn’t realize that in the end, I was not able to delay Lytt’s condition, nor persuade Uncle Huko to go with me to look for habitable planets.

By the way, Uncle Huko buried Lytt beside her mother, so now two crosses, one big and one small, are standing in front of the house, quite easy to find if I stand in the living room and looking through the window.

I suddenly understand Uncle Huko’s thoughts. Maybe he can live a better life by leaving planet A, but without the company of people he cared about, his heart will always be empty.

Even though they have left, the distance determines the gravity center of his heart. His decision is the correct choice for him. I have no reason to let him leave this beloved land.

Oh, Uncle Huko is in the kitchen, he has already packed up the homemade firework cake that he wants to give me as a gift, it’s time for me to leave.

[Choice 2]

Father: Hey, don’t need to be in such a hurry, we have to pack our luggage, let’s go tomorrow.

(Me): (scratching head) Okay, see you tomorrow, I’ll be waiting for you on the spaceship. (Turns back to the ship).

[The next day]

(Me): It’s almost noon, why haven’t Lytt and uncle Huko come? Does anything happen to them? I have to check it out.

System: As I walk towards the house, I heard Lytt coughing violently.

(Goes into the house and sees Lytt lying on the bed, looking pale)

Father (sweating profusely, with a look of apology): Oh, you’re here, sorry I didn’t have time to tell you that Lytt started coughing in the early morning, and the symptoms were getting much worse. She can’t travel anymore. Why don’t you go first and pick us up if you find a habitable plane? How do you think?

System: I turned to look at Lytt and her fawn-like eyes looked back at me, with the desire to survive and the regret of loss, my heart suddenly clenched.

(Me): Then take care, I’ll go now. Lytt, wait for me to come back!

[Enter the map, guide player to click on Planet B]

[Flying Animation (5 days passed)]]

[Arriving at planet B]

System: Planet b is thriving, and the trees are luxuriant, and there is no sign of being affected by radiation yet.

(Me): I’m going back and tell Lytt and Uncle Huko.

[Enter the map and return to planet a]

[Flying Animation (5 days passed)]

[Arriving at planet A again]

System: There used to be a cross in front of the house, which was Lytt’s mother’s tombstone, but now there is a small one next to it. Could it be…? I rushed into the house quickly.

System: Uncle Huko is sitting in the living room, holding a cup of cold tea, in a daze. When he heard the sound, he looked up and saw me.

Uncle (calmly): You are back, have you found a habitable planet?

(Me) (somewhat anxious): I found it, it’s only five days away from here. What about Lytt? how is she?

Uncle (silence for a while): She left, this morning.

(Me) (silence for a while): How could this be… I wish I had just taken her with me, maybe I could catch up with…

Uncle: It’s useless. Her condition has deteriorated too seriously. Radiation pollution has accumulated in her body. Changing the environment will not help.

(Me) (unconvinced): But it’s good to give it a try, what if?

Uncle: There is no what if. Do you want her to suffer pain like that with us on the spaceship? She couldn’t stand it.

(Me): ……

Father: Don’t feel too sad. Though Lytt is gone, but we still need to thank you for helping us to relieve her condition (tries to laugh). It may be like this sometimes, trying to help others but still receiving the worst outcome.

(Me): What about you, uncle Huko? Do you want to stay here? I’ve found a habitable planet B, why don’t you go with me?

Father: No, I don’t want to go with you. You don’t know, my family is buried under the ruins, and my wife is buried in front of the house. Maybe you saw the cross when you came. Well, and my child is about to return to her mother’s hug.

I don’t want to leave here, not just because I have lost the courage to survive in the apocalypse, but also because this planet means so much to me that I can’t abandon it ever. This is my final decision. You don’t have to help that little girl to persuade me.

No one would hate a thing as beautiful as fireworks, even if it only lasts for transient seconds. I still remember how the fireworks star was crowded with customers years ago.

Now that Lytt is gone, I still want to help her make that wish come true. Will you help me?

(Me): Yes of course. (System prompt: Firework production -5 energy)

[The same night]

System: The fireworks in front of my eyes are gorgeous and magnificent, but only blooming for a person that has left forever. I looked the fireworks and searched my memory for Lytt’s smile, as she would have on her face if she were still here.

When I flown back from Planet B, my heart was filled with the joy of finding a habitable planet and the hope that I might be able to save Lytt’s life, not expecting that Lytt was already gone. Her disappearance poured cold water over my head, and now I suddenly begin to regret that it might have been better if I hadn’t left and been here with Lytt. Maybe Lytt’s last moments would have been less painful.

As I stand in the living room, I can easily find Lytt and her mother’s crosses through the window. I suddenly understand Uncle Huko’s thoughts. Maybe he can live a better life by leaving planet A, but without the company of people he cared about, his heart will always be empty.

Even though they have left, the distance determines the gravity center of his heart. His decision is the correct choice for him. I have no reason to let him leave this beloved land.
