A welcome mat is screwed to the floor at your feet:

„If there is a witness to my little life,
To my tiny throes and struggles,
He sees a fool;
And it is not fine for gods to menace fools.“
- Stephen Crane


The capsule you have docked at is in disarray and artificial gravity is offline.
You take a good look around to assess its contents. You come to the conclusion that the following options are open to you:

🧑 gain knowledge about the pilot

The pilot sits at her station, unmoving, unblinking, clutching her chair so as not to fly away, awaiting your query.

📕 read gemlog

A notebook is flying through the capsule. You can make out the word "gemlog" on its cover.

🗄️ open a drawer

A little commode is welded into the floor. It contains curious documents.

🖼️ visit the gallery

A room divider stands in the corner. A sign made from an old pizza box says "Gallery". (some letters are facing the wrong direction)

🎧 listen

There is a small toy radio that is modelled after a record player but it's hardly convincing

💤 dream

"All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream" quoths a tiny metal worm, so gently that you could barely hear. To find out what he knows you may put him in your ear.

💭 read the pilot's thoughts

There's a rock flying through the room. It looks like a normal rock except someone drove a nail into it which holds a tag that says "telepathic rock (makes you telepathic)"

🛸 ️ enter the out of place police box

The concept of a police box has never been quite clear to you, but the concept of one inside a chaotic space capsule thousands of kilometers from the next British policeman is even harder for you to grasp.

🪟 look out of the window

The window is small but it contains endless space.

After finishing your assessment you are startled by a noise. You don't have to search long to recognize the source is a black and silver Nokia 7360 flying to your left.
You examine the phone and see that it has recieved an SMS. The message reads:
