EVENT #1

[ a serious, clinical-sounding woman's voice will be broadcasting on all radio frequencies sometime in the middle of the afternoon. it starts with a businesslike clearing of her throat. just to make sure she has your attention. ]

Greetings, settlers. I hope you've found yourself comfortable. We have had the... honor of your presence for quite some time now, and the time has come for you to earn your place. In your respective towns, we've placed bulletin boards listing some tasks you may elect to do in exchange for pay and other necessary supplies. While these aren't mandatory... [ there's a slight sneer to her voice here. ] ...we do advise you to select at least one that you are qualified for.

Employer's names and locations can be found on their respective flyers. Please direct all inqueries to them.

[ there's a momentary pause, but the transmission doesn't quite end yet. ]

Please keep in mind that supplies are limited and will come on a first come, first earned basis. Simply put, if you want to survive this environment, there is no leeway for slacking off.

Good luck.

[ it was, but for different reasons entirely. ]

It was the standard living arrangement among literally everyone I know.

The desert, but not this one. And this the way things were done throughout my culture. And, from what I've been able to witness, beyond it as well.

You're probably thinking too small.

And what was your planet's name?

You looked like you could be, but I've never met a human who had two guardians, either!

[ or maybe she has but she just hasn't realized it yet. ]

It is genuinely a phenomenon that I have never before encountered.

It's pretty normal ...

You're telling me that I simply happened upon a fortuitous cross-section of your society that all commonly shared in nonstandard hive conditions?

It's a really weird coincidence!

Well, I think I can see some logic to it. Each..."family unit", I suppose it would be called, needed to be separated to put each child at a point of readiness where they could perform the tasks required without interference from their sibling.

If it is typical for human families to remain in some form of congregation, then the game that determined their conditions from the start required starting positions other than that.
