Did anyone else get much chance to talk to the locals in that port? I couldn't help but find it ironic that their afterlife consisted of a seemingly endless journey towards an ephemeral end point.

[Jim sounds more or less calm, but there's a slight sharpness to his tone, as if something about this port left him feeling... just kind of generally unhappy.]

When I died, I was expecting my entire existence to come to an end. I find it... troubling that apparently spending your time embarking on futile tasks and endless journeys is a running theme when it comes to what happens after death, instead. Still, I suppose this place makes a lot more sense as a surreal punishment, than as a genuine attempt at creating some kind of reformation process.

[He sighs a slight sigh, before adding:]

And I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that a chewed up dog toy doesn't actually have any known use when it comes to spaceship repair?

But if you really don't believe that anything comes after it, then surely a last minute conversion can't alleviate that fear.

Ah, yes. I remember. I guess if saving them releases you as well, then that's the sensible choice to make.

Probably not, but it might be a last minute hope, a last minute... covering your bases, so to speak.

I don't know whether it will. But I am an old man, they are young boys, and I have a duty to complete to them.
