I wrote a bit about the space station setting in my comments on page 12. Another reason for my choosing this location is that some character traits can be blamed on surroundings. This was something I learned while working on signifikat: One of the most common comments about (the protagonist) Ed's behavior was that he seems to have "issues". On a space station, where tensions are expected to rise quickly (due to crammed space, lack of daylight and being in the same room with the same person every day), odd behavior is less likely to be attributed to character traits :3 Of course I'm als interested in playing with the interaction between psychological dispositions and surroundings, as can be seen on this page.

Also – I was sick while working on this page and couldn't put in as much effort… so please excuse the abundant blackness ^^;

Thanks for reading and commenting!

sux: That can't be bad! :D

Lemniskate: Meinst Du, weil er extra deswegen eine extrem unsichere Expedition anleiert? Oder weil er so lange drüber diskutiert? Meine persönliche Meinung ist: Er hat durchaus gute Gründe (auch kleine Unstimmigkeiten bzw. Informationslücken können auf einer Raumstation katastrophale Folgen haben). Und er MEINT auch selbst, gute Gründe zu haben - und deshalb diskutiert er so lange drüber.

DAJB: Next page shall be all black! :D As for over-thinking things… that's MY specialty, and my characters share the same fate!

Lem: Das kann natürlich auch sein…

Genejoke, xmung, Peipei, Nepath, man in black, Zephyrion, mmm bacon0: Thanks!
