Good Cause Simulator: pep!pep! (staurday)

[idolpro]

[ You’re in a sleek room full of all kinds of sci-fi dials and knobs. You feel like you’ve been here a long time with these people around you, and that you have a lot longer to go before this is all over.

You can hear the distant sounds of the station creaking due to shockwaves from the fighting outside. What is going on in this galaxy? Well, it’s not very important to you. What’s important is surviving.

You have a job to do. ]

ENDGAME

[cascadingfailure]

Waves of mutants and others meet your defenses, and they are laid low. You become a bastion of safety and hope in the galaxy, and people flock to you - eventually a cure is found for the disease by several others, and it is with you as their shield they were able to manage.

You did well, and it was all for a good cause.
