Prompt #2 - Sheer Boredom
"Sheer Boredom" was the second prompt of the challenge, suggested by.


 * Your ship is stuck on a perfectly ordinary patrol mission in which absolutely nothing at all has happened. The tension is metaphorically killing you, and the crew is stupendously bored out of their skulls.


 * How do you deal with this crippling boredom?

Prompt #3 - Out of the Game
"Out of the Game" was the third prompt for this challenge, suggested by forum user antonine3258.


 * Your captain is prepping for a potential long-term mission (exploration, deep strike, colony fleet) that could last several months. Time to update the bridge roster? What are they bringing? What contingencies are they preparing for on the journey? What do they hope or fear to face?


 * What is happening with their relationships with such a long-term separation, and what would happen if the mission is scrubbed after all this work?
