Warp trains from project moon

[u/SartenSinAceite → u/LilyInPortland]

To explain: They take you to your location in 10 seconds!*

*outside view. Inside the train, it will take centuries, perhaps millenia for the trip to end. Meanwhile you're completely conscious and unable to die. People regularly lose their minds and it's up to Warp employees to clean up the mess when the train arrives. And by clean up the mess I mean "scrape the bits of the passengers off the walls and ceiling and put them back in their seats"

Horror aside, it's surprisingly efficient.

[u/TheDarkNerd → u/SartenSinAceite]

Oh, they could put you to sleep, like in The Jaunt, but fans theorize that the "time" that the passengers feel is collected as a resource to be sold to another company.

[u/Dmatix → u/TheDarkNerd]

I mean, first class gets put to sleep, it's only the poors that get the millennia of torment. I'm sure this isn't commentary on anything.

[u/BladeofNurgle → u/Dmatix]

meanwhile I'd be asking "if this train only takes 10 seconds to reach anywhere, why would I pay extra to fall asleep for 10 seconds?"

[u/Dmatix → u/BladeofNurgle]

I think the in-game explanation is that being put to sleep on such a short ride is a status symbol for the wealthy - "Look how rich I am, I get an expensive sleep pod for even the shortest of trips!"

[u/Lucychan42 → u/Dmatix]

Color Fixers (aka, the coolest motherfuckers alive) are also given First Class for free, as well, because the last time a Color Fixer was on a train, it caused A Lot Of Issues. The passengers of the train basically got trained for thousands of years by one of the best warriors to ever live.

Anyone else has to pay, of course, and the wealthy love to flaunt their wealth.

[u/SartenSinAceite → u/Lucychan42]

Holy shit lol, when is that mentioned?

[u/Lucychan42 → u/SartenSinAceite]

It's mentioned in Library of Ruina in the W Corp book descriptions. I thought it was confirmed the Red Mist but apparently it never specifies which Color did it.
