End of Round 2
The ship lurched in the dark of space.
Karl had heard the audio, and unlike some of his employees, he did not doubt their truth. From the moment he had looked at the unsettling purple gas giant and its solitary moon, he had felt his stomach twist up and something in the most primordial segment of his brain shudder with cosmic terror.
The executive found himself wading down through back channels of the vessel. He was going alone now, having left Kevin to coordinate as best he could to the rest of those on the arc to head aft. Karl had seen too many universes and sneered through too many fourth walls to not have a few spare gods in the machine.
Literal screams wafted through the ventilation shafts of the machine as components of the ship shuddered to activate. Somewhere, someone had experienced a sliver of luck with trying to breathe life into the derelict vessel. As he wove his way through the blackened halls and stairwells, Karl could only help that enough plot armor protected his destination. If this journey ended in failure, then he may as well sit down and write the epilogue.

Round 3 Notes
- Maya has been eliminated from final prize contention
- Ronny will locate whatever will best help him against the enemy swarms (be that a weapon, a really durable clipboard, a crisp suit... you do you).
- I'm just going to say that the round ends Friday (3/5) at midnight CST. That seems to be the best option for myself and all parties? If that's dragging the pace too much, I might tweak again, but I'll give a longer period of time in the hopes no one feels like they're scrambling in the wee hours.
- Elimination =/= death
- You have two rounds to: hear about the withdrawal plan and make your way to that portion of the vessel. Along the way, you should face challenges in the form of the monsters on the ship, people who have succumbed to their cabin fever, faulty portions of the ship blocking your passage. Get creative with how you navigate these dangers and how you hear about where to go. If you want to reach the portion of the ship ahead of time, you may do so. You would find Karl attempting to reinforce a portion of the vessel from aforementioned monsters.
