Fanatically-Loyal Ex-Slave

Once you've rescued someone from bondage, they tend to think you're worth trusting.

No One has Seen Them, Yet

Protect the Earth

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.

The invasion fleet is right there, in the skies above!

The Earth has no way to defend against advanced space technology. Fortunately, they now have an advanced space monster on their side.

You have moved to a new area: The Cosmic Battlefield

You've lost 10 x The Once and Future Invasion (new total 6).


Albatross

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

Somewhere out there, a bunch of primitive dupes think you're going to perform miracles for them. Won't they be suprised?
Lost Ruins

Touched by Eternity

You have lived more than a mortal span of years, albeit not neccessarily in a full state of consciousness.

Respected Captain

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

Stage Two

Part Two of the End Game has Begun

Secret Master

Entire societies dance on the end of your string. A thousand investigators know you as only the hidden hand behind a million schemes.

Candidate for the Arena

When people look at you, they think: "There's someone I'd like to see eaten by Space-Lions!"

Scourge of the Space Lanes

Others know of you and speak of your hated name in whispered tones. Who will bring you to justice?

The Invasion That Never Was

Wait! This wasn't in the history books!

Becoming an Obsession

Somewhere out there, a rather attractive alien feels more and more unrequited passion for you.

The Precocious Files

How can you protect your secrets from those meddling kids?

BEM

The more physically powerful you become, the more aliens will fear you as an approaching Bug Eyed Monster

ESP

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

TCB

Unless you are Taking Care of Business everyday, you're just going to end up sitting around on some rock your whole life.

Beacon of Hope

In this cruel universe, others can look to you for inspiration, for support and for an example of someone too stubborn to quit.

A straightforward challenge

If you can confuse the communications between the alien commanders, you can gain a significant advantage!

Hold Your Breath and Punch Things

BEM

The more physically powerful you become, the more aliens will fear you as an approaching Bug Eyed Monster

A straightforward challenge

One thing the alien commanders probably don't expect is a relatively small space monster wading into the think of things. You know for certain Godzilla isn't a popular movie among the stars.

Modify the Earth's Defenses

TCB

Unless you are Taking Care of Business everyday, you're just going to end up sitting around on some rock your whole life.

A straightforward challenge

It's not much to work with, but even in this more primitive age, Earth was not without its resources. Perhaps they can be tweaked a bit to take on superior alien weaponry.

Accept a Suicide Mission

Respected Captain

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

A tough challenge

A hastily-outfitted probe with a makeshift cockpit and trans-temporal linkages to sister ships in all the compromised eras might just make it through the enemy lines.

Sign a Treaty with the Aliens

They won't bother with the human authorities, but you're just weird enough to serve as the Earth's representative. (This will End your Game.)

Edit the History Books

No one has to know about all this mess. Blaming the deaths on natural disasters, industrial accidents and spontaneous human combustion might do the trick. Then you can get back to exploring.


All Hail the Warlord!

The Earth, as it was, is safe from invaders, at least for now. Will they ever know their true protector?
