Their defenses crack like an egg. Soon the smouldering ruins of this once-secret installation proclaim to the universe that someone forgot to lock the back door.

You've gained 1 x BEM (new total 87 - Starry Abomination).

You succeeded in a BEM challenge! (Simple challenges mean you don't learn so much.)

You've gained 1 x BEM (new total 88 - Starry Abomination).

The Invasion Coincides

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.

The time frame for the simultaneous invasion of all periods of Earth History has somehow linked up with the here and now.

A Heated Moment

In the midst of battle, you caught someone's eye. Was that the spark of love in their eyes or were they seeing a worthy adversary?

(Hint: how many actions do you have left? This is also a minor boost to basic abilities.)

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.

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.

Always

Always

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

ESP

People often use Extra Sensory Perception to bend utensils, but this is still considered rude except on Earth.

A straightforward challenge

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


Success!

            1
            Unlocked with TCB 1 - you have 16

Now there's proof and captains across the universe will raise a glass whenever they remember the valiant charters of small-to-mid-size gaseous anomalies in this micro-sector of the galaxy!

Astrometric Gymnasium

The saucer is well under way, following the traditional routes between the stars.

What better way to while away the hours in the howling void than a little self-improvement?

Always

Inhale Pure Nex

The properties of Nex are still being discovered. What will a major dose do to your system?
(Hint: how many actions do you have left? This is also a minor boost to basic abilities.)

Create a Rutter

Respected Captain

Those who ply the space lanes count you as one of their own.

A high-risk challenge

Many captains create little books called Rutters, which is some backwater world's dialect word for "tiller," to keep track of the various star routes.

            You need Respected Captain 1 (you have 1)

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.


Magnificient Cultural Artifacts

These works will also disguise any awkward out-of-place technologies on a primitive world. Something to bear in mind.

You've gained 1 x Dross of a Thousand Worlds (new total 2).

How frustrating! Some kind of intergalactic war has shunted all traffic a parsec out of the way!

They Want War?

An almost impossible challenge

They haven't seen war until they've seen what this little space monster can do!

Cloaked in Invisibility

ESP

People often use Extra Sensory Perception to bend utensils, but this is still considered rude except on Earth.

A tough challenge

In the chaos, a little mental push should allow this harmless little craft to sneak right through the battle lines.

Rig the Thrusters into the Forcefield

An almost impossible challenge

That way, the faster you go, the more protection you'll have.

Just Go Around

Respected Captain

Those who ply the space lanes count you as one of their own.

An almost impossible challenge

Aliens will be aliens. A little patience won't hurt and any passengers will have to bear the delay.

            0
            You need Respected Captain 0 (you have 1)

            0
            Unlocked with Respected Captain 0 - you have 1

            1
            Unlocked with TCB 1 - you have 21

Unfortunately, the generators only have so much juice. Speed and protection have to be sacrificed for navigation, light and air. When the crew finally comes to, no one has any idea where they are.

TCB 16 failed in a challenge! (When you try a challenge that's difficult for you, you learn more even when you fail.)

Stop a Rampaging Star-Beast

After all, who better to stop a Creature from Beyond than another space monster?

Sometimes

Sometimes

Establish a Telepathic Link

A straightforward challenge

The star creature may not communicate in any other way.

Roar At It

A straightforward challenge

If that fails, step on its neck. That's how the Alpha-Leader is established on the most primal level.

Rig Up Some Kind of Translator

A straightforward challenge

Maybe it's intelligent. Those howls, clicks and color changes might be some kind language.

Flee Amidst the Carnage

The terrible damage this howling Thing From A Distant World wreaks may give you the perfect chance to escape... admittedlty into an even more hostile wilderness.


Lost in the Woods

At least that thing is gone. But which way to civilization?

You have moved to a new area: The Savage Wilderness

You are known far and wide as a jinx, the kind of bad luck that brings ships crashing out of the sky.

You now have 1 x Albatross.
