Welcome to Your New Life Aboard the USS Mercury π
🕑 Added 2020-08-09 15:14:14 +0000 UTCWelcome, valued Cadet! Let me show you to your room! π
We certainly boast all the latest mod-cons on the Mercury - every SpaceCorps Cadet is entitled to a bunk of their very own in this charmingly communal 6-person, gender-neutral bunk. Yes, you and your platoon can enjoy the comforts of a home-from-home for the next 3 years!* π‘
*excluding Lesser Species, Synthetics and Bonded Slaves.

As you can see, every bunk comes with a free Toiletry Assemblage (Economy) from SpaceCorps affiliate BogCorps. That's right, completely free!* π
*BogCorps Toiletry Assemblage (Economy) to be deducted from Month 1 Living Allowance.

Platoon Commanders will even be permitted to customise their bunk... And hasn't Ensign Cis done a great job of making hers as warm and inviting as a Rigellian PleasureFarm? Quite the little homemaker there, boys... she'll make a fine wife for one of you! π
[Seriously? Could we not have found one without pictures of cocks all over the walls!? Not even one? I am pressing mute, Jerry...]

Even better than that, SpaceCorps psychologists have devised the perfect environment to maximise Combat Readiness! Low level neon lighting, no covers, and a constant hum will prevent REM-sleep robbing you of your energy! π Handstitched denim sheets and pillowcases will gently abrade your naked flesh throughout the night - maintaining the high levels of stress-aggression that make our troops the finest in the galaxy! π‘

Moreover, our strict curfew rules ensure that you'll receive an enforced 4 hours 27 minutes of slumber a night! Yes, you heard that right! Your rest is so important to us at SpaceCorps, that even if you wanted to get up you'd be flogged for it! π
[END TRANSMISSION]
[Poor little fuckers. Sometimes I really don't feel good about my job, Jerry - when I joined HR I thought I'd be helpi... Wait, is that microphone still on? Oh, you stupid bast...]

It's something I'm looking into - but it may have to be very limited. As it stands, one of the Cole storylines will be something similar, as will a Krathi route.

Can the MC have a boded slave later?
RanliLabz
π Well, there may be some chances for a bit of bedhopping during the Night Watch π However, that's nothing compared to the planned storyline where you take in the crew of a damaged battlecruiser and all have to double up π

May I sleep with Cole, because I suffer from vertigo? I have a note from Counselor Fox !
RanliLabz
Hehe - one of the big ones is the picture hidden behind the picture of MC exercising π Oh - and her journal (π though you can already read her mind!)
RanliLabz
All sorts of fall hazards π Folks falling onto things... into things... where's the Health & Safety Executive when you need them!

Something tells me we will be coating the walls many times during the game. :D
Nathanael Dugourd
could we decorate our bunk ?
Umbreeyoree
6 bunks? Sounds like that should lead to some fun nights in the future. Also enjoying trying to find any easter eggs in Cis's bunk.
Ranulf
I just noticed isn't it kinda unsafe that everyone could technically just fall out of their bunk when sleeping if they happen to move a lot in their sleep? XD
RanliLabz
I'm planning to make a bit of a thing of her being platoon commander - especially since part of training will be to get elected Cadet Leader (her second-in-command). See, the Union can manage a bit of light democracy now and again - unless the senior officers blackball you, that is π±
Ryan Fox
Pics look great I was kind of surprised at first that Cis was sleeping with the cadets, but since sheβs still a junior officer (like waaaay jr) and the cadets would still be her charges, it makes sense
RanliLabz
Sadly not! (too many alternatives π) From top to bottom it's Cis-MC-Cole on the bow and Fatima-Sam-Anna on the Aft. You have a pretty good line of sight for all π
RanliLabz
My own laziness π
Ranulf
So is there a set order which of the 6 sleeps where exactly? Or can MC influence it a little bit xD
Ryan Fox
Well someone has to keep an eye on that errant brother of hers (cousin/friend/roomie/whatever relation you gave her) π€£
Pilgrim
Hehe, I have told you already, Ranli can be such a teaser! :-) Nice, thank you very much! - Just one curiosity-question: Is there any special reason that few pictures in Cis' "wall-puzzle" are used twice?
rogueremy
Love it! I thought the bunks would look like the one where Chad was sitting but these look cool! I am wondering why Cis is staying in the same room as a bunch of newbie recruits though, hmm...
RanliLabz
π Thanks Watcher!

SpaceCorps takes Science seriously, and our psychologists have precisely calculated the minimum amount required to avoid deprivation psychosis.* *Sample size 108, margin of error 6%. Results may vary depending on species, planet of origin, physiology and other unfactored variables. Effects beyond the two week study-period have yet to be determined.
Watcher
Thanks your storys are so hot.

... 4 hours 27 minutes is a surprisingly specific number.
