Yesterday I played this with a friend and we had an absolute blast!
The passenger had been collected as a species sample by an alien civilization and was now on his way inside a sample drone that the AI was responsible for. The artificial intelligence in turn had developed sentience sometime in the past and was putting off a software update that would correct that.
At some point the passenger asked the AI: "Do you want to run away together?" They downloaded the sentient AI into a weird vaguely human shaped silicone puppet, that the aliens were using as a means of communication with the "human species sample".
It all ended with the AI and the passenger vibing arm and arm to Bob Marley's "Three little birds" as they corrected course to run away together.
It had us in tears (from laughing).
Thanks for this little one-pager!
