Day 14: Like fuck, dude. I can't believe I actually found someone else experiencing the time loop and died before he could elaborate on anything. There's no time for mallows today. I give Slate a professional nod as I rush past him. As I ascend the lift, there's one thought on repeat, "We're going back to Giant's Deep."

I land in the ocean next to a ship that looks a lot like mine. I'm assuming it's Gabbro's. His island is nowhere in sight. That boy is straight up stranded out here. I blast out of the water and land on the first thing I see - the construction site. That's okay though. The first time we came here we didn't know that a scroll was something you insert into walls, not something you just drop on anything that's purple. The previously unread scroll implies that there's a way to track what's being launched out of the orbiting station. I'm not sure who Daz is, but he called Cassava "love" in the translation, which makes him canonically British.

A tornado comes through the construction site and rips all the gravity out. I try to get back on the ground, but my suit's not working. I drift into a wall and push off, heading towards the abyss. This is usually no problem if my suit would respond to my input controls. Right as I have the thought "I've never seen the Push Off command before", I suffocate as I remember that I never actually put my suit on today.

Day 15: Life is full of cycles. Day and night. Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Me alienating my loved ones, slowly earning their trust back, then betraying it again. This time loop.

Yesterday, I broke the cycle by being so determined to get back to Giant's Deep, I didn't eat marshmallows with Slate. Since I wasn't full of mallows, the synapse to put on my spacesuit didn't fire. Well never again. I will eat at least two marshmallows every morning from now to eternity. But what started the cycle in the first place? What drove me to the mallows as soon as I woke up?

Yes, it was the complete respect and admiration I had for how much ass Slate crushes. I have to comment on Slate's fervent sexual appetite. I have to. Otherwise, how will I know to eat the mallows? And if I don't burn the mallows entirely the way I like 'em and not how my characters does, how will my character know to gag? If he doesn't gag, how will he know to put on his suit? it's all connected, it's all part of it. It must be done.

I shout "WAY TO FUCK BUTTS, MATE", slam my marshmallow directly into the flaming log, nearly vomit on fire and splinters, and let one thought take over. "We're going back to Giant's Deep."

As I'm on my descent to Giant's Deep, I notice I'm directly on course for the Orbital Probe Station. I immediately change course and land on top of the satellite. I sent my scout into the Launch Module. It looked less like something had blasted off and more like something had broke out of it. I could be (and probably am) wrong though. I went to the Probe Tracking Module. "I'll finally be able to see where this thing's headed," I think to myself as I step inside. But guess what? There is no Probe Tracking Module, it broke off. Another big whoopsie by the Nomai. What did Bells build this station?

In the Control Module, I find a projection stone like the one I found on the construction site. I learn that Mallow and Avens are super horny about using as much power as they can to launch the orbital probe, even wanting to exceed the maximum recommended energy levels. Gee, I wonder how the station broke apart. More translations tell me that the Orbital Probe Cannon won't fire, and that getting it to do so would require an amount of power too dangerous. So it's possible the Nomai never did fire the cannon, and that they're still extinct. But if they are extinct, who caused the cannon to fire? Although I thought there were translations in the construction site that said something DID fire. Oh boy. I should go back to the construction site again. I use a projection stone to see an intact Launch Module, but the tunnel is blocked off. I leave through the Probe Tracking Module and search for a way into the Launch Module from the outside. Unfortunately, the sun's timer goes ding and so do I.

Also I found out that Daz and Cassava are married. But Daz is still canonically British.
