Good Cause Simulator: future is now/Heart Soldier Senshi (sunday)

[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. ]

[hi fin, your teammate's face twin is here.]

This is kind of like the Princess game, isn't it...?

EVENT 1

[idolpro]

Your station, and the people living in it are all rather poor. You can’t stand to see the suffering - something needs to be done, you think. There’s a major shipping lane nearby...perhaps you could take a self defense vessel and relieve those merchants of their goods?

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

While working in the mines, you hear the sound of rushing water on the other side of one of the cavern walls. It seems distant. Do you attempt to use the mining laser to break through?

EVENT 1

[idolpro]

A mysterious ship has docked at your station today. They call themselves the Hand, but what are they the hand of? The RULER%TITLE’s right hand? The hand of DEITY%NAME? The invisible hand of the ECONOMIC%SYSTEM?

All you know is that things seem to have become colder and darker around the station since they arrived. And news reports throughout [insert species] space indicate that there’s started to be reports...of missing hands. Entire hands, just removed! Without a single trace.

Do you begin the work of removing these Hands, whatever they might be? Or do you let them stay? Do you, perhaps, engage in their handcraft?

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

A tax collector docks at your station. You are under arrest for tax evasion. What do you do?

The afflicted teams lose 30 readiness.

EVENT 1

[idolpro]

The spirits of the Handless will not leave you alone. You are haunted by the collective wailing of an entire planet of those who have no hands. In your head, at all times. It drowns out all other noise and causes horrible migraines and lapses of consciousness. Please....the hands.......return them to us.

Please...............................

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

The war against The Others rages around you - you're not sure why it started or how, only that one of your species' planets was completely wiped out, with no provocation. You can't help but feel you need to do something about this...but what?

Do you take action, or realize that there's not much you can do to affect things besides your job?

ENDGAME

[cascadingfailure]

The war isn't your concern. You flee it in your ship, inviting all those who will listen to come with you. You seek to counterbalance the Hand, to bring a different kind of peace to the galaxy than that of the wretched thumblessness of demanufication.

To the wretched spirits, you seek to return hands. And maybe it isn't enough. After all, in that war - that war you weave in and out of, so many more lose hands. And you must fight against those who think your answer is the wrong one -

But day by day, the spirits grow quieter. You may be dragging countless people on a journey not too dissimilar from those you seek to stop,

but it's for a good cause.
