D.Q.O.

**The D.Q.O.** is an interstellar cruiser owned by Jonas and is the setting of Gnosia. After picking up the characters on the planet Liu-An the ship detects the presence of Gnosia, initiating the events of the game.

The D.Q.O. has a number of different locations that the player can visit at night. These different rooms are typically where Events take place, and even when no event is available it's worth visiting a location at night: any room the player can visit will be occupied by another character, and talking with them at night serves the purpose of both seeing how they feel about you and raising your Amicability with them.

Characters have certain areas that they prefer to be in, but this doesn't impact their dialogue or availability. Kukrushka is the only character who can be found in any area, not seeming to have any particularly preferred location.

## Features

WIP; this section will eventually talk about warp, swarms, LeVi, etc.

## Layout

The D.Q.O. is divided into three sections: a top deck, a middle deck, and a lower deck.

### Top Deck

The top deck is the smallest deck, containing only the main console and Viewing Lounge.

#### Main Control

> *A room used to gather for meetings. The cockpit is in the front, and a huge console is in the back of the room. All ship info is consolidated here.*
>
>

WIP; this is where all discussions take place. Also called the main console.

Setsu, Stella, and Yuriko are the most frequent visitors. Remnan does not visit Main Control.

Events taking place here:

* Ace In The Hole
* Shigemichi In Love (event)
* Small Talk (event)
* WIP

#### Viewing Lounge

> *Here the stars can be gazed upon via the domed ceiling. Virtual projection equipment can also be used to view a wide array of landscapes.*
>
>

WIP; Yuriko will always be found here at night if she is alive and the player is the Bug, giving the player access to the ability to redistribute their stats and - after completing the Normal Ending - the CG gallery.

Jonas and Yuriko are the most frequent visitors. Stella, Chipie, and Remnan do not visit the Viewing Lounge.

Events taking place here:

* Kukrushka's Song
* Nostalgic Flowers
* Regret (event)
* Savage Gods
* Starship Oracle
* Let's Play
* Tears of SQ
* WIP

### Middle Deck

The middle deck is the largest area of the ship, containing the various living spaces and rooms designed for entertainment and enrichment.

#### Cafeteria

> *The cutting-edge "food printer" instantly provides healthy cuisine well-balanced in nutrients. Could use some work flavor-wise.*
>
>

In the cafeteria, crewmates can get food whenever they want it thanks to it having a food printer in the Synthesis Plant. The food leaves much to be desired, however; it focuses on nutrition over flavor and the characters often complain about the only options being too healthy. Shigemichi even complains that the food smells like bugs.

Due to reliance on synthesized materials, there tend not to be many fresh ingredients around. Raw mammal meat is always an option nonetheless, with Jonas's scary story Small Talk quote further suggesting that the synthesis plant is capable of growing mammals. LeVi declines the availability of sushi, however, so fish apparently can't be synthesized. Stella mentions growing fresh vegetables in the Lab, so they may be readily available for the cafeteria.

The legality of steak is somewhat unclear. In Loop 2 LeVi claims that steak is considered a controlled substance and cannot be served. However, Otome's scary story Small Talk quote states that LeVi always suggests mammal steak to her. Steak is typically made from mammals, however. It's possible that "mammal steak" may indicate a specific kind of steak that does not fall under the illegal umbrella of "steak", or perhaps LeVi simply seeks Otome's downfall.

The cafeteria may be ill-organized; Per SQ, there's a black bottle on the spice rack that's actually hair tonic. On the other hand, given the many other unusual quirks of the ship and game's universe as a whole it's entirely possible that Jonas and/or LeVi consider hair tonic to be a valid spice. Spices from Planet Vuomo - and ingredients from there in general - are explicitly stated not to be available due to being illegal.

Still, there is variety to be found. In Ramenspace Shigemichi eats ramen. Gina's 6th Note is received because she was late to the discussion due to enjoying miso soup and dried sardines. SQ mentions having candy in her food Small Talk quote, though it's possible she had it before boarding the ship. Likewise, Setsu mentions having enough military rations on them to share with others, and given some of the commentary made about the cafeteria they may be preferable to its offerings.

Shigemichi and Comet are the most frequent visitors. Raqio does not visit the Cafeteria.

Events taking place here:

* Loop 2
* Ramenspace
* A World Without Gnosia

#### Corridors

1/2
There are a number of corridors throughout the D.Q.O. that connect the various areas of the ship.

Unlike other locations, the corridors cannot be visited at night. They are instead only seen during various story scenes.

Events taking place here:

* Savage Gods
* Step Forward (event)
* Setsu's Origins
* WIP

#### Gym

> *Allows for various sports and exercise in order to prevent muscle atrophy. Also contains an antigravity room.*
>
>

WIP

Chipie is the most frequent visitor. SQ, Raqio, Shigemichi, Otome, Sha-Ming, Remnan, and Yuriko do not visit the Gym.

Events taking place here:

* Sorry
* WIP

#### Lab

> *Microscopes and other tools can be used to examine samples collected. There is also a hydroponic growing space in the back.*
>
>

WIP; Stella grows various plants here.

Raqio and Stella are the most frequent visitors. Chipie, Jonas, and Sha-Ming do not visit the Lab.

Events taking place here:

* Flowers
* Plastic Flower
* Terminal of Dreams
* WIP

#### Lobby

> *A bright, relaxing space, perfect for meetings. The automated aquarium is full of small fish, shrimp, etc.*
>
>

WIP

Setsu and Shigemichi are the most frequent visitors. Remnan and Yuriko do not visit the Lobby.

Events taking place here:

* Obfuscate (event)
* The Final Problem
* Citizen Slime
* Tears Go By
* WIP

#### Private Rooms

> *A single-person room containing storage units and a desk, with a comfortable bed.*
>
>

There are seven private rooms, though rooms 2 and 6 are not seen in-game. Room 1 is Gina's room, Room 3 is Remnan's room, Room 4 is Raqio's room, Room 5 is Yuriko's room, and Room 7 is the player's room. Aside from Kukrushka, who wanders everywhere, no characters other than the room's owner will be seen in that room.

It is unclear why certain characters get private rooms as well as who might inhabit rooms 2 and 6. Gina and Remnan having their own rooms may be in recognition of their usefulness to the ship, as Gina is an air traffic controller and Remnan is mechanically inclined. Raqio may have one due to their high standing on Gliese which may have been enough on its own or may imply they had enough wealth to buy a room. Yuriko's Guard Duty dialogue claims that she has been on the ship for years, suggesting this is likely the case in loops where she isn't Guard Duty as well and that she merely chose to disembark upon arrival in Liu-An in those timelines. If so, she may have a room simply due to having claimed one first. The player presumably has their own to give them space to recuperate from the injuries they suffered on Liu-An and their subsequent amnesia.

Events taking place here:

* Tears Of SQ (Room 1)
* Inescapable Past (Room 3)
* Raqio Quiz (Room 4)
* Chaos (Room 5)
* WIP

#### Rec Room

> *Holds games and musical instruments, and various goods to help kill boredom on long trips. Interior can be customized.*
>
>

The rec room has a number of goods and activities to help kill boredom. The interior can be easily changed to give a fresh atmosphere, and LeVi can generate equipment on demand. There are video games, including one of the greatest games known to the universe: a series of buttons that skip to the point and just release dopamine inside of the presser's brain. There is equipment to play pool as well, though only if you have 4 or more arms.

3D Chess cannot be played in the Rec Room, or anywhere aboard the D.Q.O. for that matter. Requesting it will result in LeVi chastising you for obscenity.

Sha-Ming is the most frequent visitor. Setsu, Gina, Raqio, Comet, Otome, Remnan, and Yuriko do not visit the Rec Room.

Events taking place here:

* Loop 2
* Ace In The Hole
* Game Sermon
* Small Talk (event)
* A Visit To Sha-Ming
* WIP

#### Room

> *The main character's private room. Here you can level up, as well as check your stats and other various data.*
>
>

The player character's room - Private Room 7 - can be visited at night to level up. The player can use their room without advancing to the next day, allowing them to level up before talking with someone and ending the night. If there's no one the player cares to visit, the "Sleep" option can be selected to advance to the next day.

Events taking place here:

* WIP

#### Shower Room

> *People are kept clean via the ship's automatic cleaning functions, but this room can be used to refresh after exercise, etc.*
>
>

WIP

SQ is the most frequent visitor. Stella and Chipie both cannot be found here, likely because of them wishing to avoid water: Stella is an android who could be damaged by water (or perhaps she simply doesn't need it to keep clean), and Chipie - in the process of becoming a cat - likely has some aversion to it as many domestic cats do. Otome also does not visit the Shower Room, likely due to lack of necessity. Finally, Remnan and Yuriko do not visit the Shower Room.

Events taking place here:

* Shower Room - Comet
* Shower Room - Gina
* Shower Room - Raqio
* Shower Room - Shigemichi

#### Sickbay

> *The medical capsules handle everything from diagnoses to treatment. Patients can also be sent directly to the cold sleep room.*
>
>

WIP

Setsu is the most frequent visitor. Sha-Ming does not visit the Sickbay.

Events taking place here:

* Starting Point

#### Sleeping Areas

> *A group of encapsulated beds, providing the bare minimum privacy. Shutters provide light- and noise-reduction.*
>
>

There are two sleeping areas, each having a different group of characters who sleep there:

* Sleeping Area 1: Shigemichi, Chipie, Sha-Ming
* Sleeping Area 2: Setsu, SQ, Comet

The division seems to suggest that the sleeping areas are gender-segregated, with area 1 being for men and area 2 being for women (with Setsu presumably sleeping there due to the lack of a gender-neutral sleeping area). Like with the private rooms, only characters who sleep in these areas will ever appear here (aside from Kukrushka, who appears everywhere).

Events taking place here:

* WIP

#### Synthesis Plant

> *A huge plant that can synthesize almost anything, regardless of material. However, items such as weapons require special permission to produce.*
>
>

WIP

Remnan is the most frequent visitor. SQ, Chipie, and Sha-Ming do not visit the Synthesis Plant.

Events taking place here:

* WIP
* Otome and Remnan

### Lower Deck

The lower deck is where most of the ship's functions are controlled, filled with machinery and cargo.

#### Cold Sleep Room

> *Here people are put into and taken out of cold sleep. Pods line the walls, making for a somewhat creepy atmosphere.*
>
>

WIP

Jonas is the most frequent visitor due to his fascination toward frozen bodies. SQ, Stella, Chipie, and Sha-Ming do not visit the Cold Sleep Room.

Events taking place here:

* Loop 1
* Loop 2
* Citizen Slime
* Confrontation
* Otome's Resolution
* Kukrushka the Guard

#### EVA Room

> *A room for EVA (extra-vehicular activities) preparations. Depressurize and equip spacesuits inside a capsule. Also connected to the airlock.*
>
>

WIP

Gina is the most frequent visitor. SQ, Raqio, and Chipie do not visit the EVA Room.

Events taking place here:

* Loop 2
* Starship Oracle

#### Hangar

> *A cargo room holding large freight. Most of the large crates contain food and plant materials.*
>
>

WIP

Only Jonas and Kukrushka can be found here, with Jonas appearing significantly more often than Kukrushka.

Events taking place here:

* To the Hangar

#### Power Room

> *A large power reactor in the center of the room hums. The door in the back leads to the gravity control room.*
>
>

WIP

Remnan is the most frequent visitor. SQ, Comet, and Sha-Ming do not visit the Power Room.

Events taking place here:

* Hope For The Future
* WIP

#### Water Control Room

> *The recycling of water, crucial for all living things, is controlled here.*
>
>

WIP

Otome is here significantly more often than everyone else, as the Water Control Room is where her water tank is kept and thus is where she sleeps at night. SQ, Raqio, and Chipie do not visit the Water Control Room.

Events taking place here:

* Sha-Ming's Promise
* Let's Play
* WIP

## Trivia

* "D.Q.O." may stand for "**D**où venons-nous? **Q**ue somnes-nous? **O**ù allons-nous?", referencing the lyrics of blue sky, blue star.
* There are 4 rooms that have data suggesting they were planned to be visitable but that ultimately didn't make it into the final game beyond being present on the map:
	+ Gravity Control Room
	+ Meeting Room
	+ Safe Room
	+ Air Conditioning Room
* In the English version of the game, Sleeping Area 1 is mistakenly labeled as Sleeping Area 2.
* Aside from Kukrushka, Setsu appears in the most locations, appearing everywhere except for the rooms/sleeping areas that aren't theirs and the Rec Room.
* Yuriko appears in the fewest locations, only appearing in three of them: Main Control, the Viewing Lounge, and her room.
* Main Control is the most popular part of the ship, while the Hangar is visited even less frequently than the Private Rooms. The popularity of Main Control may be from people lingering there after discussion, while the unpopularity of the Hangar is due to only Jonas and Kukrushka having access to it.
