Friend Quest

As the title suggests, this episode is mostly character development. Sorry? Not sorry? Either way, there are characters, and they DO get developed a little; do with that what you will. Paula decides that OSLO has a new trouble aspect, Weston decides that Henry doesn’t completely hate the accounting department, and Mikkel pitches a really, REALLY bad idea for TED.

This episode of Friend Quest is a lot like the inevitability of death; it stalks you, silent in its approach, you never see it coming, and it looks a lot like Ed Harris in Westworld...or something. I don’t really know where I was going with this. OSLO has a really weird imagination, Val takes one for the team, and Henry makes it clear that he does NOT negotiate with terrorists or cowboys.

After “dealing” with the manifestation of Henry’s mortal enemy, the brave explorers venture further into the wrecked ship. Henry is thoroughly impressed by one of the remaining survivors, Val gets a pretty bad boo-boo, and OSLO saves the group from rapid decompression. As you do.

Our friends investigate what’s left of the S.S. Kettle and make a startling discovery. Val calls for a quick team meeting in a derelict bathroom, OSLO frantically searches her database for all things related to “alien ventriloquism,” and Henry comes face to face with his greatest fear.

The crew prepares for the next assignment: a search and rescue mission for the S.S. Kettle. There may be another “S” in there somewhere; the jury’s still out on that one. OSLO gets rid of some extraneous ordnance, Val has a heart to heart with Frank, and Henry is a LITTLE too trigger happy, considering their job is to “search and rescue.”

Our brave friends/lab rats venture forth to chart out the “spaghetti planet.” OSLO just wants to get it over with, Val is absolutely PUMPED for the opportunity, and Henry discovers that he would be a VERY good dad (at least when it comes to driving a midsize sedan).

Things get complicated when our friends try to rectify the disappearing ship problem, and some tough decisions have to be made. Valerie gets to pilot a drone, OSLO gets re-acquainted with an old friend, and Henry is surprisingly competent at some tricky bits of science.

Here we go folks, the first proper episode of Friend Quest, Season 2! We start off with character introductions: Peter takes on the role as our fearless leader and game master, and sets up the new world that we are entering; Mikkel re-introduces us to Valerie Whitmore, the do-gooder project lead; Paula tells us about OSLO (short for Model # 0510), the ship’s computer who is just fine where she is, thank you very much; and Weston presents Henry Fitz-Maurice, the holier-than-thou bureaucrat representing The Exploration Department, at home and abroad.
