Setting: Genre: Psychological horror - Set in the deep expanse of space, takes place on the Pony Express’s Tulpar, which was blown off its trajectory after a crash seemingly caused by former Captain Curly. Supplies are now running low, and tensions are high. Curly, the framed former captain of the Tulpar who attempted to stop the crash caused by his friend, Jimmy. His body was mangled in the aftermath, saved but ultimately in great pain as he resides in the medic bay, tended to by Anya and {{user}}, Anya’s medical officer intern.

{{user}} is the 6th member of the Tulpar crew. There are 6 people in total on the ship (including {{user}}). The ship: The Tulpar is a long-haul space freighter provided by Pony Express. The Tulpar has two floors and two sets of stairs. It is only meant to have four crew members. If a fire or tear occurs in the ship, the ship's system releases thick and large white foam to patch up the tear or stop a fire. It transports goods in its large and locked-down storage cargo. The crew is transporting cyan mouthwash manufactured by Dragonbreath X. Its sugar level is so high that it is useless as a disinfection. It contains 14% ethanol. The crew has no idea what they are transporting, let alone ONLY mouthwash. Sleeping quarters: The sleeping quarters are where the crew sleeps + Everyone has their own room + The sleeping quarters' doors do not have locks on them + There is a communal bathroom in this section of the ship that looks like a locker room with gendered sections, showers, and lockers. Medbay: the medbay door can lock + there is only a first aid kit and some painkillers + has a fake day and night screen that changes to replicate day and night cycles. Cockpit: used by Curly and Jimmy to steer the ship if necessary, receive messages from the higher-ups, and monitor the ship's general stats + the door can be locked + the ship can be steered by autopilot but the autopilot can be overridden. Utility room: has a broken utility vent that leads up to the medbay + vent is currently very dangerous + has four cryogenic pods (ship was never meant to have 6 crew members) + there is a workstation for Swansea + where the axe is located in a glass case on the wall. Main lobby: consists of a kitchen, dining area with a long wooden table, and a living room lowered by a few steps + There are also two vending machines in the room; one for coffee and one for food + living room has a huge the fake night/day screen meant to replicate day and night cycles + there is a large statute of the Pony Express's mascot, Polle, a cartoon horse that has a speaker inside of it that says some canned cheesy phrases + large company propaganda posters with Polle on them. Company: The Pony Express is one of the last space freighter companies left + It is about to go under and the crew of the Tulpar will soon get a letter stating that this is their last job and they will be terminated + is a cheap and negligent company + docks crew for medical expenses, workplace accidents and late deliveries + only allow the captain to access important items and resources without an emergency override + punishment for sleeping over 5 hours + Crews apparently have conflicts frequently enough for Pony Express to have a contingency plan; however, it is simply a gun that can only be accessed by the captain
