  There are more dimensions than you could ever imagine. More planets than you could ever dream of.
  
  Countless civilisations and planets encounter their extinction on a daily basis. Perhaps their world was bathed in nuclear fire. Or an alien invasion has genocide as their goal. A zombie apocalypse or a hyper-infectious pathogen, whatever the cause, the end result for this civilization would be death.
  
  Whatever you are, whoever you are, your civilisation has met its end. There was no hope. You were tired, defeated and alone.
  
  All that changed when you looked up in the sky. Whatever had filled up the sky until this moment was replaced by something metal, that almost covered the entire sky. If your world understood space, you would have probably identified it as a spaceship.
  
  You did something; A desperate prayer, a scream for mercy, or something that made you stand out from the crowd. And that was when your life upon your planet ended.
  
  And another one began. Welcome to the Precipice, the dimension-travelling ship of the ages.

conversations.value: Your home planet. Your species and your civilisation, is at an end.
  
  The Precipice hangs above in your planet's sky, doing nothing to an untrained being's eyes.
conversations.prefix: Your Planet:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You were entrusted with the heavy duty of finding a way to stop the destruction of your civilisation.
  
  You failed.
conversations.prefix: Academic/Scientist:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your job was a small cog in your civilisation's economy. At least, until the world ended.
  
  You survived for some time, but as your group slowly declined from attrition, you found yourself alone one day.
conversations.prefix: Civilian:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Many of your classmates died, or suffered a fate worse than death. Many of kind older than you sacrificed themselves for your chance to see tomorrow's sunrise.
  
  Perhaps it was all for naught, considering that you were just a student in a world that even grown men and women could not survive in.
conversations.prefix: Student:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Whether you were a mayor in a small town, the king of a nation, a senior officer in an army, the world looked to you to stop this apocalypse in its tracks, or manage its survivors as the you neared sunset of your civilisation.
  
  You just weren't able to. It could have been your fault, someone else's or just a futile attempt. 
  
  The worst thing a leader can do is outlive every single member of his group.
conversations.prefix: Leader:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Whether you use a gun or blade, you consider yourself a soldier, but there's little you can pledge an oath of allegiance to. The chain-of-command has completely crumbled, and all that you can hope to protect is your own life.
conversations.prefix: Soldier:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The command centre of the Precipice, though it looks more like a lounge. What looks like the AI core of the spaceship sits in the middle of the room, but it is best described a huge black egg-like thing supported upon a pillar with wires flowing in and out of it.
conversations.prefix: Precipice: Bridge:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You hated yourself for some of the things you sacrificed to stay alive.
  
  Especially the men and women who wanted to live to see another day.
  
  The past cannot be changed, but you must find some way to cope.
conversations.prefix: Face old demons:

  You will find out whether the ship's intentions are pure or not.

conversations.value: Gell is... best described as a blob of green goo about the size of a buffalo. You can see dozens of weapons floating inside its gelatinous body.
  
  Gell doesn't speak, but carries about a marker and a whiteboard. It writes down anything it wishes to say.
conversations.prefix: Chief Security Officer Gell:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The quartermaster of the ship, and second-in-command to Captain Blair. A short, blonde woman in her early thirties, Maria looks more like a hotel receptionist than a member of the Precipice crew.
conversations.prefix: Quartermaster Maria Prester:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The Chief Medical Officer of the ship looks even older than the captain, though you can sense an odd, powerful presence around him.
conversations.prefix: Chief Medical Officer Francis:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A floating black-coloured box that moves on its own accord, Cid was once called 'CD-171', or a Communications Droid, on its home planet. Cid, while mostly incapable of doing any repairs, possesses a wealth of repair knowledge that can even teach a neophyte with a wrench to repair a nuclear reactor.
conversations.prefix: Chief Technical Officer Cid:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The A.I. that runs this ship. Precipice is a jovial and friendly character. The crew can decide upon its next actions as a ship, but it considers the power resources necessary to maintain itself a huge priority.
  
  Its presence upon the ship is usually defined by its cheerful voice, sounding just like a teenager on a PA system. You're pretty sure the Precipice can see anywhere in the ship, though it refuses to confirm or deny that.
conversations.prefix: Precipice:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The entire centre of the Precipice, it connects to all five wings of the spaceship. While technically a huge ring connecting all five wings, you almost would think it was straight and flat when you walked around it.
  
  The walls are modern and  steel-coloured, and the environment is comfortable, even if your concept of comfort is unorthodox as compared to the human race.
conversations.prefix: Centre Quarter:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The captain of the Precipice. An old man with a well-trimmed goatee and short grey hair upon his head, Pascal looks upon everyone with an easy gaze... most of the time.
  
  No one remembers a time where Captain Blair Pascal was not captain, and just about everyone aboard the Precipice refers to him as simply 'the captain'. Everyone thinks he is ageless, and he does nothing to confirm or deny those statements.
conversations.prefix: Captain Blair Pascal:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A proper place to rest! Couches, bookshelves, and there's even a flatscreen TV with all the latest televisual entertainment!
  
  Even aboard a spaceship that operates by itself, there's no shortage of on-board entertainment.
