	Nice work on your contributions. I do however have one comment. You've been treating optional events as if they actually happened, for instance the Captain attacking one of the Pkunk, in Chrupp. We have previously decided to have it made clear what is essential to the game, and what is not. See [~~Manual_of_Style~~#~~Game_events_and_quests~~].		Nice work on your contributions. I do however have one comment.
