A Spiral in Space

Way Off the Space Lanes

Not many ships come this far out... None of the stars look familiar.

Space is full of big, swirly hazards. For some odd reason, captains who go and have a look are more respected than those who leave well enough alone.

Fly in and Have a Look

A straightforward challenge

Surely a tiny detour is worth it for the sake of a stellar reputation.

Use it as Cover

A straightforward challenge

That big swirling whatchamacallit may be just what an aspiring pirate needs. The sensors certainly can't see behind it, so it would be great for an ambush!

Probe it with your Mind

Perhaps there's more to see here than a mere spatial whirlpool. Perhaps gazing into this

The Slave Pits


Underground Facility

Earth of the Past

The only way to effectively travel between the Stars is to travel in Time. Once you've worked that out, the rest is just fiddling with the numbers.

Everyone on the surface seems to know that the government has built these vast complexes to entertain alien dignitaries. How very considerate of them.

Always

Always

Take the Grand Tour

When they think you're a powerful alien entity here to give out advanced tech like candy, the top brass are remarkably friendly.

Trade Alien Technology

These chumps do not know what kind of a goldmine they're sitting on. Four-star generals are eager to trade away energy-rich resources for mere trinkets!

Convene the Illuminati

The secret masters of Earth welcome input from Star Creatures, mostly because of the nifty door prizes alien visitors bring.

            1

You've gained 1 x Secret Master (new total 4).

You've lost 1 x Dross of a Thousand Worlds (new total 1).

The Old Fashioned Way

Just because you're an alien, doesn't mean you won't have to knock the wet stocks over with a string tied to a stake in the ground, like everybody else.

Spell Out an SOS

Any passing ship scanning for argriculture to harvest might pick up the pattern.

Mutilate Some Cattle

It's the next level beyond cow-tipping.

Auction Block

The Slave Pits

Only the dregs of intergalactic culture are kept here. Once inside, you are genetically-branded as Slave Matter, the plaything of other species.

Exotic aliens are a valuable collector's item. Spending day after day on the auction block, being poked and proded by various appendages, can become a little tedious.

Tear Off the Restraints and Run For It

A straightforward challenge

It'll hurt... in fact, it'll probably cause permanent neurological damage, but the doorway to freedom is within sight.

Mentally Influence the Bidding

A straightforward challenge

It's an insult what they're asking for you. If you're going to be sold, it ought to reflect your true worth.

Engineer a Mass Escape

A straightforward challenge

If you can time this just right, no one here ever has to be sold as a slave again. How many can you sneak out without the masters knowing?

Fall in Love

Buy Yourself

A little dose of Nex can become anything you dream of...


Of Course, It Turns to Dust in the Morning

That heaping mound of energy will vanish in the morning, but by that time this place will just be an unpleasant memory. Hmmm... now might be a good time to free a loyal companion, as well, say by hiring a space ship for this fellow ex-slave to pilot?

Fingerpainting and Basketweaving

Nobody realizes how important these activities are until it's too late. By then the archeologists are already clucking their tongues at the lack of cultural development.


Success!

Create a Rutter

A very chancy challenge

But of course! The broken universe can't be viewed as merely a distance in space, it also must be considered as a jaunt through time! Every space ship must also angle itself so as to function as a time ship. The distances are simply far to great to handle any other way!
