The rest of the day - cleaning up, getting some food and water in Konoka, a little more fiddling with the chair and arranging of shopping lists - passed by in a leisurely manner.
Time passed, and the ministry sent their word as they had promised; the previous owner/occupant of the Star Gazer had not been found, and could only be presumed dead. While this was sobering news, it wasn't particularly shocking, and the Star Gazer spared no thought on the 'what if's.
Then there was the bigger mystery behind how all those disturbances had occurred throughout the void in the first place, which the ministry was much more cagey about, saying ultimately that it had become a specific mission team's jurisdiction if a solution was to be found at all.
Which still left quite a great deal of the void to visit, in the end. Either they'd learn personally what the big fuss was about in the meantime, or they'd learn it secondhand.
[[OOC: Giving an IC 'month' or so before the ultimate cause of the void's troubles is discovered, reversed, and explained to our characters (there IS context, but it's happening 'off screen' from our thread, and does not involve the world the Star Gazer is from). In the meantime, we could focus on them landing on another world where Konoka is encouraged to explore/experiment when it comes to her magic? Also putting her further along in her coding lessons/pilot training.]]
