Known Quirks

• Good Morning Starshine II: The Class Quirk for this model ship. Similar to the class quirk displayed by the Three Graces, the OV-200 Orbiters need music played at the beginning of each workday in order to function at peak efficiency. Unlike the Graces, the same song can be reused (no more than three times in a row per any given month), but each Orbiter needs a distinct genre of music played for the best possible effect. Gjøa likes classical electronica.

• Chilly? Really? The ship's AI, Roland, is patterned after polar explorer Roald Amundsen. It prefers to keep the interior temperature at a "comfortable" 10º Celsius, but will raise it to 15º if asked politely. The shuttle's crews wear cold-weather gear, and rarely make extended trips.
