Correct!

That word could be interpreted for several meanings, but the one that inspired me to use it here was the name of a recently launched space probe that is scheduled to explore an asteroid of the same name.

Well, I kept this game going for several months, and now I can only hope someone else can keep the momentum going. Your turn, @Sneak

I thought it was pretty decent - not amazing but entertaining, and I like that they spent time building the main guy's character. I think they've said there's gonna be a few sequels on the way, will definitely check them out!

The cave rumbled and some loose gravel and dust fell down from the ceiling. The sound of Chong's autonomous mining drones got louder.

Kire nodded. "We need to get out of here. Those drills are coming closer."

He then pointed to a cave entrance in a ledge that overlooked the ruined subterranean town. "Up that way!"

The cave lit up with an orange glow as the solar knight extended the wings from his armor and rocketed into the air.

Captain Carson took the first step into the right branch. Just a short way in, she was forced to turn back by a solid stone wall.

Eventually, she led the group down into the left branch. To her surprise, she found some graffiti carved into the rock. She raised an eyebrow as she read it. It was a note that promised revenge for what was termed the "Esbenshire Massacre". The fact that carved at the base was a stylized stone filled in with what appeared to be pink paint indicated the origin of it.

"I think we're on the right path...at least as right as possible when we're probably going to run into some anti-government activists or even insurgents," she said.

"Very well," the bartender said, passing the two men a tankard of beer. Captain Carson is on an expedition right now with Lord Stripetail, so you'll have to see the employment office in town."

On an unrelated note, it appears the US military's top-secret unmanned spaceplane, the X-37B, is preparing to launch aboard a... Falcon Heavy of all things, in order to test out "new orbits."

https://www.space.com/space-force-x-37b-spacex-falcon-heavy-1st-launch-dec-2023

The most obvious idea is that this is a mission to geostationary transfer orbit, which the X-37B's conceptual predeccessor's heat shield was rated for. However, the Falcon Heavy is theoretically capable of launching the X-37B all the way around the Moon, though I don't know if the X-37B's heat shield is rated for reentry on a lunar return trajectory. Whatever the mission is, it's definitely going to be interesting.
