Special Event Idea: Vox Station

[Autocephalophagy]

Its no secret that Vox are the most persecuted species on the Cyberiad. They are bullied for their appearance, manner of speaking, and often threatened with being eaten. Nanotrasen is a public company, and this kind of specism is not good for PR. NT strives to show that all species are equal and welcome. To rectify this, NT has teamed up with Vox Inc (or something like that) to promote a community day of friendship and understanding. For one day only, the Cyberiad will be run like a Vox arkship. All the oxygen on the station will be replaced with nitrogen, meaning that Voxes will not have to wear respirators while every other species will. Nanotrasen hopes that this experiment will show it is committed to species rights and equality.

I think this is a great idea. The air control units already have a vox setting, and it shouldn't be too hard to set all to vox setting and scrub all the O2. To be clear no one will actually be forced to play vox, and there will be no extra vox favoritism in the law (other than minor SOP changes like banning KFV). The only major difference being the atmosphere (the AI could possibly speak in voxspeak, but command would be unchanged and not locked to vox). I think it would provide interesting challenges to engineering, and be a fun event in which non-vox crew resist against change (once again vox aren't in control of the ship and the law still applies to them equally). The wiki does state NT strives to create an equal working environment for all species, and having employees constantly threaten to delimb and consume fellow crewmembers is not good for their image.
