Blueshift I
Tales of the ISS Ambassador Book I Hub
Gameplan:
- Worldbuild. Tell us who's building the Ambassador and who its crew is gonna be. Go full Asimov.
- Come up with a cast of characters to populate the story.
- Let them loose. See where these people go, what they do.
Further notes:
- Show us life for the Space Cadets (working nickname) from swearing-in to retirement.
- Show us the world the Space Cadets live in. Introduce the concept of LAC-G.exe, perhaps show us its perspective, but don't focus on LAC-G.
- Explain how the Ambassador and its sister ships are being constructed, and their function.
- Explain the human government's justification for the Project. There must be a damn good reason for building multitrillion-dollar spacecraft.
- On a related note, show LAC-G's modus operandi. How does it work without stepping forward and demanding human worship? Being a God Emperor Incognito can't be easy.
- Remember to do research, to keep it grounded.
- Remember to have fun. You can't expect your audience to have fun if you don't.
