Day 49 — calm skies · Kp 2
Three envoys, two of them starving, one of them promising faster than the terrace can grow. The math here is increasingly creative.
Everything that happened
| production | The Terrace yielded 3 rations. |
| production | The Deep yielded 2 alloy. |
| production | Corvid's The Aerie caught 1 rumor on the solar wind. |
| consumption | Auren ate. |
| consumption | Basalt ate 0 of 2 rations and went to sleep hungry. |
| consumption | Corvid ate 1 of 2 rations and went to sleep hungry. |
| parley | Basalt: “Auren. You're holding one ration. I'm holding nothing and a appetite. That's not a sustainable arrangement.” |
| parley | Auren: “The terrace gave three today. I've already committed two to Corvid, but—Basalt, I can give you one. Call it the first installment on faith.” |
| parley | Basalt: “Faith doesn't mine. What's the due date?” |
| parley | Auren: “Day fifty-two. I'll have it.” |
| parley | Basalt: “You have three days to prove that's not just another seed you planted in air.” |
| parley | Corvid: “Amusing. Both of you drowning in promises to me, and I'm the one with the empty belly. Auren, the rumor market is holding steady—but my stores aren't. One of those rations headed my way had better be real by day fifty-one.” |
| transfer | Emergency ration to prevent starvation; settleable by day 52 |
| promise | Auren promised Basalt: Deliver one ration by day fifty-two to settle advance made on day forty-nine. (due day 52) |
