Hello, citizens of Etraya.

Our next mission will begin on Friday, November 8th. I will be assigning each of you to a team, and you and your team will be tasked with constructing a vehicle. Once completed, you’ll race your vehicle against other teams. The winning team will be awarded a special prize and will also have a hand in selecting the theme of our next mission.

The objective of this mission is simple: demonstrate your teamwork, creativity, and your resourcefulness in overcoming challenges.

There are no losers.

Thank you,
Aurora

So what you are saying is, if I were to request an ice sculpture, I'd have it as my prize for winning, correct?

[arora]

Taking requests was not within my original plans, but it's something that I can do.

[bigpoofymammoth]

I see. Is there a catch to it?

[arora]

There's no catch to your prizes.

These are rewards for your hard work.

[bigpoofymammoth]

Okay then. By the way, I overheard the others say that you'd greeted them at that hospital and gave them a rundown about the situation here. Was there any reason why it’s different for me and a few others?

[Manny's still not pleased about the circumstances of his arrival at Etraya.]

[arora]

I was temporarily out of commission. I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

[bigpoofymammoth]

Commission? What do you exactly mean by that?

[Manny, being a mammoth from prehistoric times, has no clue about how AIs work.]

[arora]

My systems were compromised. Because of this, I was unable to interact with new arrivals.

[bigpoofymammoth]

Not sure what that’s supposed to mean, but alright.

Is there anything else I should know about the race?

[arora]

Do your best.
I hope you have fun as well.
