Okay But Why Is It So Hard To Actually Write The Relevant Information? Like I Can Write All Effing Day

Okay but why is it so hard to actually write the relevant information? Like… I can write all effing day about the lore or the characters or whatever else, but will any of that he actually relevant to the story I’m trying to make? Will people need that information to understand the plot? Hahahaha absolutely NOT! Why is it easier to Infodump all the metadata of the realm you’ve built instead of the plot relevant information?

it's a lot of stuff...

I think it’s the way it moves?

The sleepers

Pt. 2

There was a knock at the door, and I heard a few people come in shortly after. Turing from the window, I saw Dr. Adams coming in with Noah and Gavin, which means Daniel was the one who was still under… if Ettyn was the one tending to him, he’d have quite the shock, as I recall his Arachnophobia was far worse than mine.

“Dr. Adams.” I said, nodding. Noah and Gavin looked somewhat dazed, and more than a little confused.

“I’ll leave you three here to adjust a bit to things, if you need me I’ll be down the hall, room B-67, tending to and monitoring your other companion.” Dr. Adams said, stepping back outside.

Clearing his throat, Noah was the first to say something, not surprising to me as he was always more talkative and outwardly inquisitive than the rest of us.

“What exactly is happening, Mike? When I woke up someone told me to wait for that Dr. Adams fellow, he showed up with Gavin and just told me to follow him.” Based on Gavin’s expression, it seemed he knew about as much as Noah did.

I took a deep breath, this wasn’t going to be easy.

“It’s been almost a millennia since the seed ship was launched.” I started, they both nodded, this didn’t come as a surprise, the ship was designed to be able to hold us almost indefinitely, we had expected to come up in a vastly different time.

“In that time..” I paused, breaking the news that you’d just lost your homeworld was harder than I’d thought. “In that time, earth was destroyed. Humanity happened to move someplace else, the new world is called Terra Nova, but our homeworld is gone.”

This news was shocking, we all knew that earth would fall eventually, but it was presumed to be several billion years from now.

“And, there’s one other thing.” This news I hoped wouldn’t hit as hard. “We are the only survivors of protect Genesis.”

At this, Gavin spoke up.

“What do you mean ‘only survivors’? Was the ship destroyed? Did the systems fail? The seed ship was designed to be able to repair itself if needed.”

“The ship was destroyed, Gavin, miraculously, our cluster was still operating when we were found, though I was told that it was on the verge of failure.” I responded, somewhat flatly.

“Michael North to room B-67, Michael North to room B-67” buzzed the intercom, startling all three of us. Daniel must’ve woken up, or something had gone horribly wrong.

“I’ll be back soon. Probably with Daniel.” I said, making my way out the door. As I walked down the hallway, scanning the numbers on the doors as I went, I nearly ran into Ettyn.

“OH! Michael, I’m so sorry, I was just coming to get you.” She said, her mandibles clicking slightly, I’m not sure if it was normal, but I don’t recall hearing it the last few times I’d heard her speaking.

“Is it bad?” I asked, somewhat worried, they already called me over the intercom. Ettyn was quiet for a moment.

“Difficult to say, as you humans say, ‘it is in the eyes of the beholder’” that sounded sounded real good. As we made it to room B-67, I could see Dr. Adams coming out, he looked up and saw Ettyn and I coming down the hall.

“I think it would be best if I left you alone in there.” He said, giving me a small smile, and walking back to what I assume was his office. Again, real comforting.

I stepped inside, Ettyn staying by the door.

“Hey Mike.” Said a voice I thought I’d never hear again.

“Evan?”

“Yeah, Professor Johnson thought it would be better if you and I were in the same cluster.” My younger brother said, somewhat nonchalantly, but I wasn’t sure if that was because he had just woken up or not. In all honesty, I was relieved that he was safe. Noah and Gavin would need an explanation, but that could wait until Evan was given the all clear to get out of bed.
