Kind of random, but I just began wondering if Dyrus has ever hired any female workers to work on Menahat, or in anything similar in nature to what the workers we see in the camp do. I mean, Spectrobes is a sci-fi and set in the far, far future, and in the modern (our) world, I've been seeing the number female workers in blue-collar industries increase over the years. So, maybe it's possible that he has. Sure, there's some of Dyrus's dialogue towards Jeena (i.e. calling her a "Planetary Patrol Princess", and telling her she's got "a big mouth for such a little girl"), but he did try to convince both Rallen and Jeena to work for him because he sees quality in both their abilities (albeit, mostly Rallen). Operating on Dyrus's vibes, though: probably unlikely lol.

Spectrobes: Origins - Menahat's off-screen scenes and other things #3
START | << PREVIOUS | NEXT >>
NOTES: Some divergence from the previous chapters. Here's a look into Neal's journal entries. Also, I have no idea how to do the dating system, but since Menahat doesn't have civilisastion anymore, it wouldn't not make sense just to track the days.
Chapter 3
DAY 1
I decided that I wouldn’t do much today. The flight from Wyterra to Menahat was so long and tiring, and the ship broke down on my arrival (which I’ll have to fix at some point). Since then, I’ve just been feeling jet lagged and overall exhausted. I still wanted to check out the Great Desert before settling down, so I used what energy I had left in me to take a quick look. Interestingly, I came across a sort of work camp on my way, and I needed permission to get into the desert from one of the authorities there (which I found annoying…) This whole camp part, I don’t think is so important to me and this project, but I’ve used its location as a good reference point. Its giant gate is now one of my landmarks, being North-West of the Great Desert region.

Spectrobes: Origins - Menahat's off-screen scenes and other things #2
START | << PREVIOUS | NEXT >>
NOTES: Third-person is still my weak spot, but I think it's starting to grow on me. Here's my shot at something a little more dialogue-heavy. I like to try to incorporate each character's personality in the way that they speak, too. I feel like it'd be good so, if I just put each bit of dialogue down without indicating who's speaking, it wouldn't be too dificult to imagine who's talking. Anyways, here's chapter two.
Chapter 2
“You want to head into the Great Desert? Will I let you through?”
The man at the gate shook his head firmly,
“Sorry buddy, none shall pass.”
It was incredibly rare for Neal to become disappointed in anything, but he couldn’t help but think to himself, All that walking, and for what?
The plan was supposed to be simple: move from one place to the next, and already, he was only a few steps away from his destination. But then, the one thing obstructing his path, of all things on this desolate planet, was a gateman in a hardhat.
