Aaahh yeah that was a bit of an unfinished thing. I wanted to bring it up again but I was running short on time.
Just to be clear, a single cycle is one thousand years! And without too many spoilers, I was hoping to expand that into the reason as to how the Paradisaea crew were on that planet for only a few years despite them having many thousands of years of travel time between them. Hence why the shock at hearing that they were only traveling for five cycles. No AI bugging out, it's more in the relativistic trickery I guess, but there really are all those years of space travel between them. Maybe a mystery for another time.
Also nobody's dead from hibernation sickness at the moment but I could definitely add a sad little secret ending or two just to add ANOTHER bad ending to the story lol
