Hello. I'm Conspire.

Hello there. They call me Conspire. Conspire2Ignite, actually. It’s a song lyric. Starlight by Muse. I was a part of the Aurora community a long time ago. I did some things here. And then I stopped. Without warning. Which was shitty. And I'm sorry. I don’t recognize most of you, but I have spotted some familiar faces. Which means if you remember me, congratulations; you’ve been in the community over two years. In fact, I just saw that Gollee has made a return as well. Must be that time of year.


I was suddenly reminded SS13 exists a few months ago, actually, in the middle of playing Overwatch, when my friends were discussing old games we used to play. I created an account then. Something odd, based on song lyrics, big surprise. “DustyBarrenLands” or something. Wasn’t important. I played one round as a janitor and fucked off again. Couldn’t remember why I bothered.


A few days ago, I was reminded again. On the Rimworld reddit of all things. Nostalgia hit like a freight train. I spoke to my Discord friends about it. It’s not really their type of game, but I just prattled on and on about my experiences and the people (you guys!) and the characters and the jobs and the wacky situations I remember being a part of. I ached for it. So I made yet another account (I have a problem, I know). This one was EldritchAbomination (funny story, it’s actually EldrichAbomination because I didn’t spellcheck myself and made a typo) because… I don’t know, really. Praise Hastur, I guess.


That shift as Nicholas Crow, Medical Resident, was such a high I knew I would be back again. From the warden dying in the first twenty minutes to a frag grenade going off in the middle of medbay to three viruses running through the human population (Good work to the virologist on-duty muddling through that crap, you need a raise) to trying to save lives while having no idea what the hell I was doing… It felt good. It felt like a game and a story in one. It felt like Space Station 13.


I can’t promise this means I’m back. I can’t promise anything, actually. Except that I’m sorry for leaving without warning. I spent so much time trying to find myself, I didn’t spare a thought to what I left behind. But I’m a junior in college now. I’m struggling through Physics and Chemistry (Damn it all, I’m a Bio major, get me out of here!) and calculus next semester and… I feel older now. Not that that means anything. I could be gone again tomorrow. Just know that I enjoyed myself enough to slide out of the woodwork. Slimily. And with flailing appendages.


Which reminds me, holy crap guys where’s the Dionaea representation? There were 50 people in the server. All shift, only one I saw was a nymph? Why I outta…!


P.S. I’d like to give a shoutout of thanks to whomever plays the medical robot unit A.R.U. They gave me a tour of the medbay, showing me where items were and reminding me of what equipment did. I would’ve been lost the entire rest of the shift (and it was a long, hectic shift, jesus I don’t remember rounds lasting three hours) without you. You get a gold star from me.
