You fiddle with the computer and after searching through about 50 pages of jargon find something saying that the ship is equipped with a "temporal pocket generator", whatever that is. You look through the logs even further, only to find that every reference to the weapons the ship carries have been redacted. A quick surf of the menus shows that whatever the weapons are, they're online and capable of fire though.

Ask AOP abaut all this stuf directly;

"What are these weapons and why are they redacted? What does all this technobabble mean in practical terms? What's  with that station can you let me into it without being shot?"

>Summon Pathos

[darkflagrance]

>Activate the generator.

[Soadreqm]

Nah, we got the blast door open, didn't we? Let's root around this station a bit longer.

>Jump the turnstile and hope that doesn't activate the guns.

I guess Apo would know whether it activates the guns, but I don't think we should be more clingy than absolutely necessary. Especially since he hates us.

Ok so we're basically stuck between activating the Temporal pocket generator and heading back into the station to see whats going on in there.

CHOOOOSE YOUR DESTINY!

>Activate the temporal pocket generator

[Soadreqm]

Bah! Fine! Use the stupid pocket generator!

You activate the TPG and a input screen pops up prompting you thusly:

Temporal Pocket sustainment length?

[darkflagrance]

Is there any obvious way to direct it at something? Also, I suggest we try to go backwards in time.

Ask APO when the nearest organic life not part of our body and various satellite life forms is to us chronologically.

>-2.3 Billion.

So we can travel to the future. Could be useful. Lets start with a two-day jaunt, so we won't starve to death if it actually just causes us to be trapped inside the ship for the duration. If nothing unexpected happens, go root around the station afterwards.

[Paranatural]

We can try the two day jaunt thing but I don't see how continuing into the future will help too much, as humanity is probably completely dead by now. There don't appear to be any interesting aliens, either.

>2 days

[Soadreqm]

Humanity being dead might not be a bad thing considering that they've done basically nothing but try to kill us since our accident. The viscomancy might even grant us clinical immortality, so if we get in a state where no one is hunting us, and find a stable food supply, we can wait out the universe. The second to last being to die, only outlived by Apotheosis.

Of course, I don't think we have much of a chance of getting in a state where no one is hunting us, considering that EVERYONE ELSE also has time travel.
