conversations.value: (From the back of the box)
  
  The ships aren't coming back. 
  
  You stood and held this fort by blood and sweat and thunderous cordite prayers, made sure every last Amalgam citizen was on board those dropships. They said they'd be back for you. But the ships aren't coming back. 
  
  This planet is lost. Even now the stars warp overhead as something pale and sickly blots the twin moons. Even now the fog creeps in on the horizon, only visible out of the corner of your eye. Even now you sometimes see dark and terrible things moving across your vision, like pressure spots on your eyes. 
  
  This planet is lost. The ships aren't coming back.
  
  You have only one recourse- escape. To get back to the Amalgam. Back to the fleet. Back to the ships. 
  
  There may be a way out, somewhere in the waste. There may not be. But you have to try.

conversations.prefix: Amalgam Soldier:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You missed the dropships when they came- you stayed behind to stand with the soldiers as the enemy clawed at the gates.
conversations.prefix: Amalgam Citizen:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You hold a major stake in one of the Amalgam Corporations- they shouldn't have left you behind.
conversations.prefix: Amalgam Shareholder:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You left the Amalgam twenty years after they landed to make your way in the desert scrap heaps- but that world is lost to you now.
conversations.prefix: Desert Nomad:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: When your fighter was downed after the battle over the fort, you were stranded here- by the time you were back at the fort, the dropships had already left.
conversations.prefix: Mercenary Pilot:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Copies of your matrix pattern were recovered, but you have been left behind. This is standard Amalgam procedure- your infrastructure would take up too much space.
conversations.prefix: Amalgam Tactical AI:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It was 1989 when you wandered into the desert. It isn't anymore. You saw a fort in the distance and prayed someone there could help. 
conversations.prefix: Time Traveller:
conversations.from: human

conversations.prefix: Archaeology Drone:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You are almost supernaturally resistant to disease, only need an hour of sleep per day, can lift twice your own body weight, and you have redundancies built into your internal organs.

conversations.prefix: Gunsmoke II Veteran:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You can get around without being seen, vanish into a crowd, or simply stand in the shadow and not be noticed. 
conversations.prefix: Quiet:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your entire personality is housed in a computer the size of a playing card. You have less processing power, but you gain unparalleled portability. 
conversations.prefix: AI Tactical Housing (Small):
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You're about the size of a suitcase and weigh a few kilos. You have more processing power than most supercomputers but getting you around is a bit of a struggle. 
conversations.prefix: AI Tactical Housing (Large):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: One of your four limbs has been replaced with a cyborg enhancement, though it badly needs maintenance. 
conversations.prefix: Cyborg Limb:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: Gunsmoke III Veteran:
conversations.from: human

conversations.prefix: Gunsmoke V Veteran:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You are a drone. The parameters of your interaction with humans are strictly defined and you are incapable of feeling genuine empathy. 
conversations.prefix: Drone/AI:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: In your dreams, you visit a place you call the Midnight City. Not everyone there is friendly, but not everyone there is a dream, either. 
conversations.prefix: The Midnight City:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: In your dreams you visit a museum unlike any you've seen on earth. You've yet to meet another living thing there. 
conversations.prefix: The Silent Exhibits:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Every planet you've been to has been claimed by the creeping fog of the Lost. The voices of its victims haunt every breath you draw. 
conversations.prefix: Cursed:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You cannot shake the creeping fear that you are a fraud. Some days you wonder if you aren't already Lost. 
conversations.prefix: Impostor Syndrome:
conversations.from: human

conversations.value: You think that someday soon it would be nice to look into the mirror and see yourself looking back. 
conversations.prefix: Defeat The Echo:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: Reclaim Your Humanity:

conversations.from: human

conversations.prefix: Execute your Programming (Archaeology):
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: There is still a war on. Your database of enemies indicates many still at large. This planet is Lost, but you are not. 
conversations.prefix: Execute your Programming (AI):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: This Asset represents 1 block of inventory space. You have 5 total. You get Inventory Space when you lose or drop an asset. All assets require inventory space, and have a cost. To gain an asset, play Inventory Space cards equal to its cost. 
conversations.prefix: [INVENTORY SPACE]:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: 'STOIC EMPEROR' [5]:
conversations.from: human

conversations.prefix: ELM-22 Assault Carbine [3]:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Someone needs to take a look at the two vehicles parked nearby- you'll need one of them if you want to escape.
conversations.prefix: Assess the Vehicles:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The armoury's been pretty thoroughly pilfered by the fleeing Amalgam soldiers, but you never know what you'll find until you check.
conversations.prefix: Search the Armory:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Might as well do one last spot-check before you go. 
conversations.prefix: Search the rest of the fort:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A small cardboard box. On the front, in bold-face type, is printed 'ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS: A Templeton-Rhettlock Product'. 
conversations.prefix: ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: White as the driven snow, a prototype for the military. They were having problems making the charge pack last long enough for sustained deployments.
conversations.prefix: ELM-88P Laser Pistol:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A large city, with a large spaceport. Possibly your only chance for escape. 
conversations.prefix: Vinath:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The city's in bad shape- the skiff won't handle it, and you swear you can hear people in there. 
conversations.prefix: Navigate the Ruins:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: There shouldn't be anyone left on this planet. These people, if indeed they are people, must be bad news.
conversations.prefix: Escape!:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A club of some description. The patrons are pleasant enough, even if the servers are existentially terrifying.

conversations.prefix: The Maitre'D:
conversations.from: gpt
