Tally lives in your hangar. She eats whatever you bring her and digests it

into materials. She is useful. She is yours. And she is always hungry.

You arrive with Tally at your heels — hungry, and therefore small. You find

things, you carry them, you feed them to her. She swallows, pauses, and

swells a stage bigger right in front of you :D

Every stage makes her louder, wider and worse tempered. The doorway she walked

through five minutes ago now has to be squeezed through — slowly, loudly, and

she comes out of it angry. Nobody set her appetite. It grew because you worked

well.

Aim at her and hold. She throws up part of the haul and drops a stage. It costs

your battery, and it costs less when two of you push at once. Whatever lands on

the floor stops being yours — something in this house collects it.

Noise builds room by room and crosses thresholds. Four different things live

here, and each one answers a different threshold. None of them care that you

were nearly finished.

You talk over proximity voice — walls muffle it, distance eats it, and Tally

follows whoever is speaking. A microphone is required to play.

Back at the hangar she digests, you sell what she made, you buy gear. And she is hungry again. More than last time XD
