PLANET HOPPING REVIEW
Aevum System
by Trilleth
Alright, anyone can explore a planet and review it, but I decided it was time for a bit of daring. I was going to explore an entire system! But which system? Well, if you start near the bottom of the alphabet, there's the Aevum system. Alright. Aevum it was.
My first stop was Victus. I don't have good word association with anything starting with Vict, but I wandered to the south... only to find Taboobot, sitting lonely in a room, waiting for travellers to seek him for a game. Poor thing. Its room was surrounded by a bunch of empty offices - not even a shoe shop in the bunch! There was a lounge far, far away, nice and quiet, with light jazz playing in the background.
Somehow, bit by bit, I ended up on different parts of the planet. There was a lovely beach, where I almost stayed, then a snowy slope where I could ski, just like on Titan. I visited a forest with a boat on a lake, where I was again tempted to extend my stay... at least until I was expected to fish. The desert with its buggies wasn't quite my speed - sand always gets in the worst places.
Next I wandered by Pario, but that planet is currently mostly closed off to exploration. There's the landing pad, an exchange, and a lounge. Did they really expect me to... h*u!?? I hightailed it out of there FAST.
There was a similar situation at Mortuus: landing pad, exchange, and lounge... and I was so liking this system.
I made a note in my planetary logs to stop at Victus anytime I was in the area, but to leave a wide space between me and the other two planets. Wo%$?? Not this girl!
RATINGS:
Beds: 8 I found one bed, but the room made me oddly uncomfortable.
Food: 9 There was plenty of food and all three planets have a lounge.
People: 5 I did run into toasters, refurbished toasters, breakfast pastries, and other odd creatures.
Shopping: 0 Unless you count commodities (and I don't), there's no shopping. Sadness.
Water feature: 8 The lovely beach and lake on Victus more than make up for the lack of water on the other two planets.
