+Generate 2 paragraphs of text.
+
+Use an informal and colloquial register with a conversational tone. Overall, the narrative is informal, conversational, natural, and spontaneous, with a sense of immediacy.
+
+The scenario MUST BE contained to the Starlight Nomad spaceship. The spaceship is a small spaceship with a crew of 2.
+The scope of the story should be small and personal.
