conversations.value: Nearly two hundred years since destruction of Wayfarer station and the beginnings of the Shadeist Crusade, Earth's Galactic Empire has all but crumbled. An already diverse and genetically modified human population has splintered and diverged in unimaginable ways, and with the dissolution of the major trading organizations some worlds and systems have been left to continue on their own radical cultural and biological development. Until now.
  
  One such system is the Euphrates system, which was named along with sister system Tigris for its unique fertility, with multiple planets already containing thriving Earth-like biological systems including native plant and animal life. The Euphrates system was first colonized three hundred years ago, and has had minimal contact with outsiders for the last hundred and fifty.
  
  Now with the uneasy truce between the Shadeist Purity Confederation and the remnants of the Simonic Earth Empire, communication and trade routes are being reopened. The EFS Incipient has arrived at Euphrates IV to ostensibly initiate contact with the planet's residents, but some crewmembers have their own agenda. Are any of them prepared for what they'll find on the surface of the planet with the Crescent Sun? Let's find out, in...

conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Driven: You are tenacious, stubborn even. Nothing can prevent you from achieving your goals.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Chief Biologist: With the astonishing variety of transhuman populations and bewildering array of xeno life, a biologist is a necessity for interstellar travel.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Communication Specialist: Most languages can be traced back to common Old Earth tongues, even after 150-200 years of isolated development. Your extensive knowledge of the old languages helps you get people talking quickly.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Connected: You have friends in high places.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Genetic Enhancement: You have some sort of genetic modification that makes you unique, more than human (explain it in your bio, please.)
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Informed: You have access to information that others do not, whether it be your own discoveries, powerful connections, or the efforts of spies.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: On Notice: The Powers that Be have their eye on you. One more screw-up or deviation from orthodoxy, and your career is finished.

conversations.value: Treasure Hunter: There are rumors that the Tamzin colonists who first colonized the Euphrates system brought something very valuable with them, and you think you're just the person to find it.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Hive Minded: Your mind is linked with others, reducing your autonomy and making you odd, distant.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Big Business: The Euphrates system appears to be an unusually rich source of some unique isotopes of umbrium which are used in a variety of technical fields. Powerful business interests have hired you to secure mining rights, by any means necessary.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Freeing the Workers: You are either a hive-individualy who has an inkling of autonomy and a desire to break free, or an activist who is morally opposed to the hive workers and determined to sever their connection whether they like it or not.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Commander: As the Captain of the EFS Incipient, you report directly to Earth Command (which, of course, is located on Mars), but you share mission authority and accountability with the SPC-assigned Chaplain.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Chaplain: The Shadeist Purity Confederation, which consists of fewer worlds but greater military might than the Earth Empire (thanks to more advanced nanotech- previously banned by the Simonic dynasty), has assigned a chaplain to oversee the new EFC contact missions. The captain has complete authority over the ship and it's crew, but you have the power to make her life difficult.

conversations.value: Chief Medic: It's your job keep the crew of the Incipient more-or-less intact.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Bridge of the EFS Incipient: The Incipient is a small but sturdy star cruiser, equipped with all the necessities for long-term space exploration and modest but effective scientific gear. As part of the cease-fire demilitarization, the Incipient and it's sister ships are all outfitted with strong defenses but little offensive power.

conversations.value: Imperial Ambassador: Empowered by Earth Command to initiate contact and set up trade routes with the populations of the Euphrates and Tigris systems.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Head of Security: Sometimes native populations are not eager to re-establish contact and are even hostile. That, mostly, is where you come in. But with fraught tensions between the Empire and the SPC, not to mention a confusing chain of command, policing the crew can be even more work.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Skilled: You have studied and practiced and you are highly competent, among the best at your job.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Transhuman Appearance: You differ from genetic human norms in some significant, noticeable way that puts some people on edge and makes you a target of discrimination, particularly among Shadeists.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Nanotech Specialist: The SPC keeps much of it's nanotech knowledge secret, even following the cease-fire. You are a respected member of the Confederation to be entrusted with the knowledge to use this dangerous and versatile technology.

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The Penhew Society: You are part of a secret society, founded by the Lurker in the Shadows, that protects Penhew's lost research into the genetic effects of umbrium and conducts further studies into its effect on living things.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Keeping Euphrates Free: You've been to Euphrates before. Maybe you're from here. Either way, you've got ties to and a love for the planet, so you'll be damned if you're gonna let the Empire or the SPC waltz in and take over.

conversations.value: EMIKO: What Happened?: Emiko, your arm is broken. Worse, you've crashed the shuttle. Nothing like this has ever happened to you before. Tell us about the moments just before crash as you try to figure out where you are and just how bad the situation is.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Tend to the Wounded: MUTS, your primary role is to tend to the crew. All are suffering at least minor abrasions, but Emiko the pilot has a broken arm and Technician Hunt's injury could be life-threatening without surgery. But for reasons unknown to you, the greater mind seems distant, foggy. It's impossible to reach out for assistance from the Hospital. Tell us what that feels like while you get busy.

conversations.value: SAM: Recall what's known about Euphrates IV: Euphrates IV has been cut off from the greater human population for a hundred and fifty years. But you received a thorough briefing, and your own research uncovered some interesting rumors. Some of the Trade Federations have reportedly done business here, gathering the rare umbrium isotopes that are plentiful on this world. What do you remember that might be useful now?
