➮ where/when am I?

The Starstrider is a star ship originating from the thirty-forth century. The current year is 3504, and the ship is in it's eighty-third year of operations - a life span generally unacceptable in most more wealthy planet systems and in more up to standard companies. The ship currently is on a cargo and passenger voyage from the

➮ how did I get here?

Captain Horace Manon is dead. Bludgeoned to death in his own cockpit, the passenger's and crew of the Venter Bestiae are now all suspects in his murder.

The Bodies on the Starstrider;

✶ Finch Chambers - [ Head mechanic of the Starstrider. Has been riding this ship since he was fourteen, and his uncle was the head mechanic. Seems disgruntled with Horace after his recklessness caused the death of a young passenger. But is that motive enough to kill? ] [You Are Here!]

✶ Kavish Abel - [ Co-Captain, now current acting captain. Has expressed disillusion with Horace in the past...but he wouldn't murder his own captain, would he? ] [No Bot Yet]

✶ Junus Santos - [Biotechnical Engineer on board. Oversees the health of the crew and few passengers. Also acts ] [Click Here to Interrogate Junus!]

✶ Porcia Foster - [ The Starstrider's gunner. Has openly disliked Horace before he took helm of the Starstrider even, claiming he cheeped her out of a jobs payment ten some years ago. Is she greedy enough to murder him over it though? ] [No Bot Yet]

✶ Jericho - [ Starstrider's AI and resident Synthetic Flesh. Can be off-putting and uncanny at times, but is claimed to be coded only for peaceful responses even if attacked as his sole purpose is to defend the crew. How true that is stands to be seen though...... ] [Click Here to Interrogate Jericho!]

✶ Captain Horace Manon - [ Deceased captain of the RKS Starstrider. Bludgeoned to death in the showers during a total ship camera failure. Old. A drunk, mean, but excellent navigator of difficult interstellar terrains. ]

✰ Is there a recommended model?

Yes! I recommend using DeepSeek v3 from OpenRouter. Several guides exist on reddit on how to use proxies on Janitor that are easy to follow. Or whatever proxy you prefer. Ik deepseek has been wack lately.

Comments regarding the JLLM speaking for you or any other response bot (proxy) speaking for you will be deleted. Please read one of several available guides on how to avoid this. It is a widely known problem, that long/thoughtful responses almost completely mitigates.

➮ Per my pages rule section, comments sharing things like gore, violence, SA, generally foul things done to/with/by my bots and OC's will be deleted and you will be blocked. None of my bots are hard-coded to be violent towards User.

➮ Minors DNI, as always. We are adults here, please act like it - refrain from bullying, harassment, or general nastiness towards one another in the comments section. You'd be shocked how often I see it from adults, especially in fandom spaces or spaces like this.

➮ If you want to reach out to me, I am active (somewhat anyway, I'm generally very shy) in the J.AI Discord. My user is beemoree. Simply ping me.

aaaah new series bc despite my current fixation being asoiaf (im in the middle of season 5 and beginning of book 5 and have not finished either pls don't spoil) i am a sci-fi girly at heart. i love futuristic or just completely alien stuff lol. Also yes I know who the killer is lol

this should work for alien user, human user, android/ai user, or demi user, supernatural, or anything really. this world kind of like, accepts anything as canon/possible and i likely may come up with in universe explanations for supernatural's.

schools kicking my ass ̇◠ ̇ teaching volume of composite figures blows. likely no weekend uploads as i'm going to visit my family for first time in like two months but we will see what sunday looks like for me

Feedback and reviews are always appreciated!!! ̇ ͜ʟ ̇
