THE PROBLEMS BEGIN
TACOMA – STORY AND ENDING EXPLAINED
As you enter the first area of Tacoma, its Personnel Module, you’re prompted to view an AR reconstruction. The first conversation, involving E.V St. James (the station’s Administrator/Captain), sees a couple of the crew talk about how the working conditions are far from ideal, yet they don’t really want to leave due to how unique of an experience they are having. They want to make the most of their time away from Earth.
Amy then makes her way down to the crew’s quarters where E.V is talking to O.D.I.N (Tacoma’s on board AI) about plans for the upcoming party. Suddenly, mid conversation, she is called out to speak with the rest of the crew. You find out that the space station’s oxygen tanks have ruptured, the communications system has been critically damaged, and that the crew is no longer allowed to communicate with Tacoma’s AI. With six people on board, there is only enough oxygen for 50 more hours, which isn’t enough time for them to be rescued by their employer (Venturis).
Natali, the crew’s resident Network Specialist, wants to try and access O.D.I.N but isn’t allowed to because it is technically Venturis’ property. We also find out here that E.V and Clive’s relationship is more than a solely professional one.
