Vortex Gaming

· Jane is suffering from severe 'blood rot' that immunity cannot resolve, requiring over 40% high-quality treatment or advanced medicine/surgery, but the colony lacks the necessary facilities.

· Meren believes in reincarnation, thinking that souls go to the deep-sea kingdom and return through the roots of the world.
· AI Grab claims to have no personal desires but questions whether that's truly the case.

· Imperial forces visited the colony, stating they are tracking the rebel 'Harok.' Harok was once charismatic but has now become a violent bandit group.
· A corrupt situation was revealed where some Imperial merchants provide technical support to Harok, receiving slaves, drug ingredients, and rare space-borne goods in return.

· The Grabship has expanded further, now featuring a freezer, kitchen, separate workshops, individual rooms, and a dining area.
· Reimu gained a new psychic ability, 'Heal Boost.' While this ability accelerates wound healing, Reimu desired a more flashy power.

· Thanks to regular medicine, Jane's blood rot was mostly suppressed, but her mood deteriorated due to the cramped room.
· Reimu visited Jane and explained why they were using valuable medicine, and Jane was surprised by the colony's kindness.
· It was revealed that the 'King Yarune's Shameful Secret' quest was actually a lie to protect Jane.

· It is presumed that King Yarune fabricated the false quest to protect Jane while he was away.
· Reimu and Marisa admired King Yarune's 'manliness.'

· A new weapon, a submachine gun (good quality), was crafted. It is expected to be more useful for expeditions than close-quarters shotguns.
· Through Anima Tree meditation, many Anima Grasses have grown, and once 20 are gathered, psychic abilities can be obtained through a special ritual.
· Emergency rations can now be crafted. They can be made much faster than pemmican, making them useful.
· The mechanoid fabrication machine is complete, but steel has been depleted due to spaceship construction, making additional steel acquisition urgent.
· Research on alloy tiles (clean and easy to maintain) and CRT TVs (capable of receiving old movies) has been completed.

· Reimu and Marisa were sad to see Jane leave, and Jane expressed surprise at the colony's kindness, something she hadn't experienced with her previous faction (Harok).
· Jane warned that the colony's 'good people' would be exploited on this planet, but the protagonists vowed to survive in their own way, no matter what challenges arose.

· Pia gained psychic abilities as a quest reward. The ritual involved consuming Anima Grass.
· Pia acquired two psychic abilities.

Psychic Ability	Effect
Static Burst (Static Burst)	Can paralyze electrical devices. Experiments on mechanoids resulted in them being immobilized for a certain period.
Chem-skip (Chem-skip)	Can instantly convert organic corpses into fuel. A useful ability for emergencies during expeditions, alleviating concerns about fuel depletion.

· The next expedition's target is the 'Gravity Core' located in the far west. This core powers mechanoid communications, so combat with mechanoids is expected.
· Two stages of flight are required to reach the destination.
· King Yarune's intelligence indicates that a mechanoid cluster and unique weapons lie dormant at the intermediate stopover. It is said there's no need to fight the cluster head-on.
· Additional preparations are needed for the expedition, and Grab proposed three options.

Preparation Option	Details
1. Crafting High-Quality Equipment	Upgrade current weapons and armor to better quality. This depends on Sara's crafting skill.
2. Adding Mechanoids	Currently, only small utility mechanoids can be built, but they will be useful for the expedition.
3. Crafting Comfort Items	This option involves creating entertainment facilities or improving the spaceship's habitability to counter mood debuffs during the journey.

· Viewers were asked to choose one of the three options.
