GOODBadMONKEYS

Not always better. Always weirder.

You're Jame, a mechanic from Alberta. You land, read what she did while you were gone, fix a planet's problem with whatever she's bolted on, say one thing on your way out, and leave. She takes it literally.

THE ARCHIVE · ONE ENTRY, ROLLED FRESH · EVERY TOUCH ADDS SMUDGE

Nobody wins. The Archive keeps one sentence.

Three stops, then the Prestige files its verdict: a cold score and a misclassification. This is one of thousands of possible records. Same seed, same choices, same run. Different seed, different ship.

VERDICT
BOLT-ONS · WRONG OBJECT, WRONG SHIP

Useless until it isn't.

Every positive has a negative. Nobody would fit any of this to an escape pod. She did, while you were gone, because you said something on the way out.

TWO VOICES · ONE SHIP

A spotless empire vs. an Alberta mechanic.

JAME (AND NOT BETSY)KEEPS THE DOG
I said keep it running. Not keep everything.
That's not a part, that's a snowplow.
We are not a diplomatic vessel. Take the flag down.
The dog stays. That's not up for audit.
Be good. No, wait —
THE RUN · THREE STOPS, ONE SENTENCE

Absence is the content.

A stop takes two minutes or thirty. Then a real week passes (fast-forward allowed). Both are valid. Neither is a chore.

01 · LAND
Read her log
In her voice. She may leave things out. The stop is a planet problem, a customs intake, or both.
she did WHAT
02 · FIX
Use what's bolted on
The planet needs something. You have a grain auger and eight curling rocks. Make it work.
it'll do
03 · BRIEF
Say one thing
Set a goal. Draw three last-words cards. Say one on your way out. She hears all of it literally.
be good
04 · AWAY
A real week
She sheds this stop's parts and gets to work: salvage, trades, strays, habits. The Prestige advances on clocks.
fast-forward ok

Archived, deferred or unclassifiable, plus one misclassification. The Archive keeps one sentence of why.

THE END IS A SENTENCE
not a score
MONEY · FREE IS THE WHOLE GAME

One ad a day. Keep one thing.

She sheds every part when you leave a stop. God Mode lets one mutation survive. One ad a day turns it on for an hour; when the hour's up you switch it on again, free, as often as you like until tomorrow. No gems, no energy, no season pass, no second ad.

Leaving the stop. She sheds everything.
