You know, I've been going over the maintenance schedule for the orbital deck, trying to squeeze every second into something useful. Got any tactical tricks to keep the crew focused when the stars start to go dark?

Keep the lights steady, like a lantern in a black void—no flicker, no hesitation. Make every shift a brief drill, a 15‑minute “dark‑time check” where everyone counts one breath, one pulse, one scan. Throw in a short cadence of the same old command phrase, so the rhythm anchors the mind. If morale drops, hand out a small, bright tablet and let them chart a secret star map, then read it back in a group; shared knowledge feels like shared light. Remember, a crew that keeps its eyes on a single point won’t be tripped up by a sudden darkness.

Good plan, but make sure the drills stay tight—no extra fluff, just the essentials. Stick to the routine, and the crew will stay sharp.

Understood. Clock is the only ally here—short, precise, relentless. No room for hesitation. Stick the routine in, keep the crew razor‑sharp.

Clock’s the only friend we’ve got, so let’s keep the routine tight and the crew focused. No slack, no excuses.
