I’m finding it harder and harder to unearth colourful possibilities when boarding ships, too.

I didn’t have the heart to kill any of them.

Go with god, UC Narcissus.

A hangar view of a spaceship in Starfield.

I need a Mission.

What do you reckon?

Gosh, how irritating!

A targeting mode screen in Starfield, with the player preparing to fire on a ship’s vital systems.

You’re the one who is lonely!!

She’s got all of her own teeth and an appetite like you wouldn’t believe.

Woah Doctor, save some for the rest of us!

Wait, don’t stare!

The interior of a medical space station in Starfield.

Mary’s tale of woe continues!

Part 5 isover here.
