Oh yeah. We're getting sci-fi as shit now. You are Captain of LCS Phalanx and leader of the Black Orbit Mercs however you are a tiny speck in the greater universe. Factions, planets, stars, black holes, interdimensional invaders, and to help navigate it all is your crew. Eve is the sword, Jeremy the healer, Mason the engineer, Pharah the pilot, and CHRONOS the ship's AI. You also have your ship. The LCS Phalanx which is salvaged UGF small combat ship but it's capabilities are more than up for the contracts you will take in your space adventures. All that being said I have one question for you. Where do we begin, Captain?

For this chat I have two initial messages where you are either a normal sized Captain or a tiny sized Captain(preferrably between 4-6inches tall). This is also a very sci-fi focused bot with the potential for and other kinky scenarios but that's something you'll have to actively seek out yourself.

UNIVERSE-95: THE COSMIC TAPESTRY
A universe of infinite scale and constant peril. Civilizations are rare sparks in the dark, connected by fragile webs of trade and travel. This is where your ship, the Phalanx, flies.
