Despite being paid by Planetary Pioneers, Skye takes seriously her ethical responsibility to produce an unbiased narrative of the colonization of Viridis Primus. Her desire for an honest representation sometimes puts her at odds with Jade who would prefer a more positive spin on the colony’s progress.
Skye Miller is a photojournalist at Planetary Pioneers. She is hired by Jade Washington by the player completing the Recruiting a photojournalist job. When completed, the #nofilter achievement will be acquired. Skye is one of the twelve characters available to marry and is willing to be in a polyamorous relationship.
Once the player has built the Pioneer Plaza, they can visit Jade in the Administration Building to meet Skye. The player will have the following conversation with the two of them.
Skye: ... I didn't mean to imply that you shouldn't be proud! It's just that the colony isn't quite what I was expecting.Based on your messages I just expected there to be... more.
Jade: I understand that at first glance it may not seem as though we have made much progress. However, bringing life and culture to a barren world is difficult work.Tell me, how many space colonies have you visited before ours, Ms. Miller?
Skye: ...Fair enough! I promise to keep an open mind!But I'm not here to advertise for your company. I'll give a fair, but honest account of the progress.
Jade: I would expect nothing less.[Player Name], I would like you to meet Skye Miller. She is the photojournalist I mentioned. — (The #nofilter achievement is acquired.)
Skye: Hiya, [Player Name]! Happy to meet you! If you see me snapping photos of you, it's strictly professional. I promise!
Skye's image and description display.
Skye: I'm really looking forward to checking out your farm. Is it possible to get a guided tour sometime?My studio is northwest of Rosie's shop. With all these alien landscapes to photograph you might have trouble catching me at home though.But don't let that stop you from popping in to say hi! You might luck out and catch me developing some prints.I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of one another, [Player Name]. Later you two.
Small talk
Talking with characters outside of job duties can improve the player's relationship with them. Skye can say any of the following when engaging in small talk with her:
I can't promise all the photos I take of your farm will be flattering.
I hope you catch and release when you go fishing, [Player Name].
Do you know anything about photography, [Player Name]?
Teach me?
Unknown dialogue
Not much.
Skye: It's not for everyone.
More than you.
Unknown dialogue
I'm so glad the plants on this planet taste so good! I was worried I wouldn't have anything to eat!

The player can reach the first green heart by visiting Skye's Studio when her relationship bar is full.
Dialogue:
Welcome, [Player Name]! Come on in and make yourself comfortable. I just want to chat a little about your role here on [Viridis Primus]. (It seems like you're on pretty good terms with Administrator Washington. I hope your loyalty to her doesn't alter your responses to my questions. — (This sentence is available only if you already saw Jade Third green heart event.)) I'll be taking a few notes as we talk today just so that I can be sure I understand your responsibilities. Don't let it make you nervous!
Do you have to take notes?
I wish I didn't need to, but accuracy is very important to me. I won't show anyone else my notes.
Okay!
If you want to see what I'm writing down, just ask! It'll keep me honest if you're double checking me. Now, I understand you're responsible for most of the manual labor here. Tell me about how you got roped into that!
The screen dims, and 2 hours passes.
You've got quite the interesting story, [Player Name]! I'd never have guessed.
I'm not that remarkable.
Haha! Interesting and humble. Quite the combo there, [Player Name].
Thank you!
I think I have a decent idea what you do around here. I'll check in with you later if I have any follow up questions.Have a great day!
Second Green heart
The player can reach the second green heart by visiting Skye's Studio for lunch when her relationship bar is full and the first green heart has been reached.
You're just in time! I just finished preparing lunch. There's plenty for you too. It's nothing fancy. Just some fried rice I tossed together. I hope you don't mind. I don't eat meat.
Me either!
You seemed like a very compassionate person.
That's okay.
Thanks for understanding.
I've always loved animals. I can't stand the thought of eating them. Not that I judge other people for their food choices! I'm especially fond of fish. I can't wait to see what's swimming around the lakes and rivers here! Listen to me rambling on about fish. Let's dig in!
The screen dims, you regain 30 energy and 2 hours passes.
You're so fun to chat with, [Player Name]! Oh! Look at the time! You'd better get back to work. I don't want Administrator Washington blaming me if you fall behind! Why don't you take the recipe for my fried rice so you can make it yourself sometime? If you experiment and make it better, let me know!— (Unlocked Fried Rice recipe)

I hope you're wearing your walking shoes! I'm ready for my guided tour. This colony isn't going to photograph itself. I've got the perfect soundtrack for our shoot. Let me grab my music player and we can be on our way.
If you have built the Bridge expansion.
Wow, [Player Name]! You built this bridge to the Eastern Plains all by yourself? Sometime you'll have to tell me how you achieved that lovely arc.
If you don't have built the Bridge expansion.
So this is where Administrator Washington wants you to build the bridge to the Eastern Plains. It's so beautiful over there! I can't wait to see what's on the east side of the river.
Where to next?
The screen dims, and 1 hour passes.
Would you look at this, Pioneer Plaza! There's nothing excessive about this lavish gathering space, is there? I'm sure Administrator Washington was pleased as punch when you finished this!I got some decent shots. Anywhere else we should go?
The screen dims, and 1 hour passes.
If you have cleared the way to the Northen Mountains.
There used to be a giant boulder here that was blocking the way to the Northern Mountains? And you singlehandedly removed it? [Player Name], I'm impressed! Flex for this shot!
If you don't have cleared the way to the Northen Mountains.
So you're going to remove this boulder that blocks the way to the Northern Mountains? How do you plan on doing that?! I'm sure you'll think of something. You're very resourceful.
Walk me back to my place? I'd hate to get lost out here.
The screen dims, and 1 hour passes.
Build none
Sure looks like you have your work cut out for you!
I do, but hard work doesn't scare me!
That's the spirit, [Player Name]! There's nothing more attractive than someone who's willing to put in the effort to achieve their goals.
I'll eventually get around to it.
You didn't strike me as the lazy type. I guess maybe I read you wrong.
Build 1 or 2
Looks like you're doing pretty well! Only a little work left to do.
I do, but hard work doesn't scare me!
That's the spirit, [Player Name]! There's nothing more attractive than someone who's willing to put in the effort to achieve their goals.
I'll eventually get around to it.
You didn't strike me as the lazy type. I guess maybe I read you wrong.
Build All
You've really done a lot of work in a very short time!
Thanks for the tour of the colony, [Player Name]! I got some really good shots. Here's a copy of the music disc we were listening to. Maybe you'll think of me when you listen to it? — (Unlocked Music disc for: Skye and Progressing Swimmingly achievement.)
First Blue heart
The player can reach the first blue heart by visiting Skye's Studio when her relationship bar is full and the third green heart has been reached. This event vary quite a bit depending on what the Player answers during a small talk with her.
Dialogue:
You got here just in time! I'm about to go develop these landscape photos I took yesterday. Why don't you come in and give me a hand? You'll need to wear this protective equipment. Please don't touch anything unless I tell you to. These chemicals can be very dangerous if handled improperly. Now let's see what marvelous images I was able to capture! Oops, sorry it's so tight in here. These are turning out great. Can you see them in the dark?
Teach me?
Well, you wanted me to teach you a few things, right? ... I mean about photography.. you mentioned that once. Next we move the photos into this chemical bath here...
Not much.
Unknown dialogue
More than you.
So, earlier you said you were a pro at this.
Actually, I'm new to this darkroom stuff.
Then I'll call this my opportunity to teach you about developing photos. You can show me your expertise later.
Yeah, I know what all these chemicals do.
Good, I'll put you in charge of fixing and washing. ... I mean about photography.. you mentioned that once. Next we move the photos into this chemical bath here...
... now let's hang these to dry...
The screen dims, and 2 hours passes.
Well that's definitely more interesting with a helper! Now I know how my dad felt when I kept getting under foot while he was trying to process his photos.
Hey! I was trying really hard!
Sorry if I hurt your feelings, [Player Name]. I was just teasing you a bit. I didn't realize you were so sensitive. You shouldn't take me so literally.
Your dad's a photographer too?
I inherited my love of photography from my dad. He's really supported and encouraged me throughout my career. Some of the images I helped him develop were so stirring that I can still see them when I close my eyes. Do you have anything that's affected you like that, [Player Name]?
Of course!
I knew you'd understand! There's more to you than meets the eye.
Not really, no.
That's too bad. I understand keeping your guard up, but I'd feel so uninspired if I didn't open myself up to feel once in a while.
Here I am rambling on again! Now scoot! Don't let the administrator catch you leaving. She and I don't need anything else to fight about.
Second Blue heart
The player can reach the second blue heart by visiting Skye's Studio in the morning when her relationship bar is full and the first blue heart has been reached.
Dialogue:
You look fetching, [Player Name]! I'm really excited to capture your true identity in our session today. I wonder what we should use as a backdrop? Do you have a preference?
The bridge is nice.— (This answer is available if the Player has built the bridge.)
It sure is! Good choice. Why don't you stand in the middle of the bridge there? Perfect!
I like the plaza.
I suppose you put a lot of work into the plaza. That makes sense. The fountain is nice. I guess this place is growing on me.
Maybe the beach.
Rosie told me about your arrival. I guess you've got a strong connection to the beach. It is lovely down here. Such a nice breeze coming off the water.
My field.
Of course! You must be very proud of your hard work. Why don't you stand on the edge of the field there? Perfect!
Just relax and trust me. I'm going to get some really nice photos of you, I promise! Tilt your head back a little. A bit more light will really define your facial structure. Now smile...
If you were humble/not confident during the interview.
Please stand up a little straighter and square your shoulders. There you go. Humility is a great personality trait, but you really need to have a strong presence when being photographed.
If you have accepted her compliments during the interview.
Very good presence! You're standing nice and tall. Have you modeled before?
No.
You'd never know it. You're a natural!
Yes.
It shows! You're really good in front of the camera, [Player Name].
Oh, don't move! There's a sweet little bird I'm going to try to get in the frame.
If you said that you don't eat meat too.
Aww, it's getting so close to you! It must know you're good to animals. There it goes! I think I was able to get a couple nice shots before it took off.
If you said that you eat meat.
Aww. Too bad! It flew away rather quickly. I don't think I got it. You must have startled it.
Why don't we go for some action shots?
If you said that you hard work doesn't scare you.
I know you're not afraid of a little effort. Give me a couple turns.
If you said that you'll eventually get around to work on expansions.
I know it sounds like an awful lot of work, but it's worth it. You won't even break a sweat!
Nice work, [Player Name]!
If you said that you can feel the things deeper than what they are.
I think I really captured your sensitive side in a few of those.
If you were sensitive to her teasing.
You look a little flustered.
I'm not.
Thank goodness! It must just be the heat.
You keep insulting me.
Oh, [Player Name]! I would never dream of insulting you. I'm so sorry if you feel that way. Please forgive me.
These shots are going to turn out great. Let's head back.
The screen dims, and 2 hours passes.
See! What'd I tell you? These are lovely pictures of you! I hope they're adequate reward for having to put up with me.
I enjoyed your company!
I'm glad! I really enjoy spending time with you too!
I guess they'll have to be.
Wow, [Player Name]! Guess you really put me in my place.
I'll walk you out. Later, [Player Name].

Dialogue:
If the season is summer
Most of the area surrounding the colony is beautiful, but I found a really gorgeous meadow with a high concentration of wildflowers. It's not too far from here. Let's go check it out. All the wildflowers reflecting on the water. Those adorable little fish dancing about in the lake.
If the season is eclipse
Most of the area surrounding the colony is beautiful, but I found a really gorgeous meadow that will look great in this eclipse. It's not too far from here. Let's go check it out. The light of the eclipse, the reeds reflecting in the water, even the adorable little fish dancing about in the lake.
Isn't it beautiful, [Player Name]?
It's alright.
Just alright?! Here I was hoping to impress you with this little oasis I found.
I am more impressed with you!— (Not as beautiful as you. answer)
It is beautiful. I'm sorry.— (Gorgeous. answer)
Not as beautiful as you.
You're pretty smooth, [Player Name]! If I didn't know any better, I would think you were flirting with me.
I am flirting with you.
Well aren't you a forward one? I like that. I thought you might like me, [Player Name]. But I wasn't sure.
I would never make the first move.
Really, [Player Name]? I thought you were the confident type. (I guess I shouldn't be surprised. You're so humble. Maybe you don't think I'd be interested. — (This sentence is available if the Player was humble during the interview.))
I am not interested in you like that.
Then why would you say such a thing?
It was an innocent compliment.
Fair enough! Not like I'm not guilty of the same.
I don't know. I'm sorry.
I forgive you, [Player Name]. It's easy to get carried away in the moment.
Gorgeous.
I'm glad you appreciate the beauty of this place.
If the current season is eclipse
Wow, I think I see a blue flower here. They don't normally bloom during the eclipse season.
Here these are for you. — (Receive a Blue Flowers.)
If you said that the place is gorgeous (Unknown dialogue)
I like you, [Player Name]. I find you quite interesting. But there's a lot we don't know about one another. I'd like to get to know you better. But you're not the only fish in the sea, so to speak. I would want to be able to see other people while we're sorting things out. Of course, you're free to do the same.
What do you say, [Player Name]? Do you want to see where things might lead?
I'd like to date you.
How exciting! We still have so much to learn about one another. I can't wait to figure you out, [Player Name]. Bye for now!
I'd rather just stay friends.
I guess I had the wrong idea. Please excuse me, [Player Name]. I wasn't expecting things to go this way. I have to go.
If you did the first move (Unknown dialogue)
I'm flattered, really. But lots of folks have said they liked me. I'd like to get to know you a little better. After all, you're not the only fish in the sea, so to speak. I don't care if you want to see other people while we're sorting things out. Just keep in mind, I might be doing the same.

No.

First Red heart
The player can reach the first red heart by visiting Skye's Studio during the evening, when her relationship bar is full and the third blue heart has been reached.
Dialogue:
You know, I'm really glad you're here on Viridis Primus, sweetie. This place would be super boring without you!
Glad you're here too!
You're always pretty smooth, huh sweetie? — (This sentence is available if the Player was flirting with her.)
It's good to know you like having me around. — (This sentence is available if the Player was not flirting with her.)
It's still pretty boring...
I'm not interesting enough to keep you entertained? I'm teasing, sweetie!
I think we both help to liven things up around here. — (This sentence is available if the Player was not humble.)
I know you're humble, but seriously... Having you around really helps to liven things up! — (This sentence is available if the Player was humble.)
Gee, thanks!
Finally learning to take a compliment, oh humble one? — (This sentence is available if the Player was humble.)
Thank you for all the nice things you do for me. — (This sentence is available if the Player was not humble.)
... It's not like me to have trouble with words... You really throw me off my game, sweetie! I know we haven't been seeing each other that long... But I really feel a connection with you. I just can't put my finger on why. What makes you attracted to me?
I honestly don't know...
I guess that means we're confused together! I'm just glad we ended up clicking. You're pretty great.
You're beautiful!
So I'm just a pretty face?
I didn't mean just your looks!
Oh! So you mean the whole package? For a minute there I was worried you only liked me for my appearance.
What's wrong with being pretty?
I guess there's nothing wrong with being pretty. I just thought that maybe I was more to you...
You're intelligent!
Gee, thanks, sweetie... I think you're really bright too!
You're funny!
I've been called worse things, that's for sure! I really like your sense of humor too, sweetie.
You know, sweetie.. Most of my life people have always told me how gorgeous I am. No matter what I accomplish, or how professionally I conduct myself... It's always the same... And I hate it. There's so much more to me! Why can't people see past appearances?!
I thought you would be different. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. It's just the way things are... I think I'd like to be alone for a bit, [Player Name]. Please excuse me. — (This sentence is available if the Player said she's beautiful.)
Well, I guess you're different, sweetie Thanks for appreciating more about me than just my good looks! I always thought there was something special about you. — (This sentence is available if the Player didn't said she's beautiful.)
Second Red heart
The player can reach the second red heart by visiting Skye's Studio after dinner, when her relationship bar is full and the first red heart has been reached.
Dialogue:
There's something I want to show you, sweetie! I received this in the mail today. I won the Bulitzer Award for my feature piece on the progress of the colony here on Viridis Primus!
That's great!
I know, isn't it though?!
Bulitzer Award?
Don't tell me you've never heard of it?!
I don't care.
Well, you should care! It's a really big deal.
The Bulitzer Award is for excellence in journalism! Only the most distinguished journalists ever even get nominated. I guess being all the way out here I didn't get the news that I'd been nominated until the actual certificate arrived. I just can't believe Dad didn't tell me any of the times I've called home! I bet he wanted me to be surprised. Anyways, I wanted to show you in particular because I really think we won this together! All the hard work you've been doing here... It's been really good for everyone! You're amazing, sweetie! So, how should we celebrate our accomplishment?
Your choice.
Letting me pick, huh? Well, I wouldn't be opposed to a little cuddling on the couch.
How about somewhere more comfortable instead?
Wherever you want.
A glass of wine?
I don't think I have any wine. I'm not much of a drinker. You have any other ideas?
Your choice.
A little snuggle?
A little snuggle?
I do like to cuddle. But is that all you're after? Ket me put it this way: where do you want to snuggle?
Right here is fine.
It's like you can read my mind! This little couch is super comfortable.
How about somewhere more comfortable instead?
Is that the kind of girl you think I am?! Wow, [Player Name]! I'm shocked. Here I was thinking a little snuggle on the couch would be just peachy. I think maybe you should go.
Wherever you want..
Putting the power in my hands again, huh, sweetie? — (This sentence is available if the Player already asked her to choose.)
Letting me decide where we snuggle? The couch it is! — (This sentence is available if the Player ask her to choose.)
Well in that case... I think we should go somewhere more comfortable. — (This sentence is available if the Player didn't say her before that she's beautiful.)
I like that you respect my boundaries. It makes me want to invite you somewhere more comfortable. But I just can't, sweetie. I know you think I'm "beautiful," but I'm looking for something with a bit more substance. Until I'm sure you love me for me I can't let you get too close. Let's just cuddle on the couch for a bit. — (This sentence is available if the Player said her before that she's beautiful.)
The screen dims, and 2 hours passes.
Oh, it's getting late. Do you need to go?
Yeah, I should go.
I had a great time with you tonight, sweetie. — (The scene ends.)
Do you want me to?
No. I don't want you to go. Stay with me tonight.
I can't...
Maybe next time you can stay a little longer. — (The scene ends.)
Okay.
Then get over here.
The screen dims, and it's now the next morning.
I had a great time last night, sweetie. You're something else, you know that?
Third Red heart
The player can reach the third red heart by visiting Skye's Studio in the afternoon, when her relationship bar is full and the second red heart has been reached. This event will determine if you'll married together, move in, stay a couple or break up.
Dialogue:
I hope you're ready to stretch your legs, sweetie!
The screen dims, and 30 minutes passes.
Do you remember this place, sweetie?
Of course!
I'm glad you liked the flowers I gave you.
Uh, no?
Really? You already forgot the last time I brought you here? I guess it's not a big deal. Hopefully you remember this place after today.
How could I forget?
Well, I hoped that you couldn't!
There's something I want to ask you. But I'm a little worried about what you'll say. But I'm not going to let a bit of fear hold me back from what I want. [Player Name], I think it's about time we stopped seeing other people and moved in together.
No commitment ceremony?
Oh! Well, gee... You didn't strike me as the old fashioned type! I just figured we'd live together for a while to see how it went before we went and made it all legal. Are you asking me to take the commitment vows with you?
I'd like a ceremony first.
Well, that wasn't quite what I was expecting, but if you're ready to jump right in, so am I! I don't think my folks will be able to make it... But I'm sure they're going to be happy for us! I like you quite a bit, and I'm sure they will too!
We can live together first.
Great! I'm excited to have you as a special roommate! (I'm looking forward to more of those good times, like the night I won the Bulitzer. — (This sentence is available if the Player stays the night.))
I'm not ready for either!— (I don't think I'm ready answer.)
I'd love to live with you!
We can always have a fancy commitment ceremony after we've tested the waters. — (The scene ends.)
I don't think I'm ready.
Seriously? But we've been together for a long time! I realize you're a farmer, so I can respect wanting to sow your oats... But I'm ready for something more. If you aren't, I don't think I can keep investing in us.
Okay, let's live together!— (I'd love to live with you! answer.)
Let's have a ceremony.
From "not ready" to "commitment ceremony" in less than 5 minutes? I don't know, sweetie... Are you sure?
I'd like a ceremony first.— (I'd like a ceremony first answer.)
We can live together first.
Great! I'm excited to have you as a special roommate!
I'm not ready for either!
I can't deal with this emotional rollercoaster. — (The scene ends.)
I'm serious. Let's break up.
If you ever grow up, maybe I'll still be around. See you later, [Player Name]. — (The scene ends.)
Now that that's settled, let's have a little smooch by the water before we head back. I guess I'd better go get ready.
Come on over in the morning and we'll get you all settled in. — (If the player will move in.)
You can schedule our big day in my journal. I'll be ready when you are! — (If the player will marry her.)
