INTRODUCTION

You are a crew of misfits, and for one reason or another you had to get away from your native world and
somehow ended up together in this old spaceship. One thing you have in common: Curiosity. You have the rare
chance to live adventures in Worlds never discovered before, see things that no one thought existed and meet
creatures that you might never understand. You all have your backstories, your fears and your regrets but now
you have the opportunity of creating yourself anew, do not let the opportunity pass.

Note 1: When you confront the actions of the players first ask yourself what it is that confrontation going to add to the
story. Save your cards and only confront players when it can cause interesting situations and to add drama. Let minor
things succeed automatically, focus the story and have your players on their toes.

Note 2: Never side with the player in a confrontation and do not force NPC to fail actions playing low cards from your
hand for them. Otherwise you create a deus ex machina effect that kills the thrill of the game. If you fear a character might
die before his time you can have the NPCs focus their efforts in other players and maybe play a normal card from your
hand as the last card of the NPC to aviod the possibility of the NPC drawing a court card and performing a critical success.

Note 3: Force the players to put the beliefs of their characters to the test. See if they can handle it, reward those that

do and punish the ones that fail.

Usually, players create the backstory for their characters with the guidance of the GM, but in the following pages you
will find short introductions into the background of pregenerated character for this campaign. These are for those of 4

own character from the ground up. All the neccesary tokens to play these characters are those already presented on the
Character Boards before punching them. Therefore, you do not need to learn the character creations rules before playing
a session and getting a feel of the whole thing.

There are 4 pregenerated characters prepared for this campaign, as many as character boards come in the Core Set.
You can play with more or less players, to play with less, just remove those that the players find less attractive, in order
to play with more, you will have to actually create those characters from the ground. You can do so using additional
character boards that you might purchase separately (or from additional core sets), or you can print regular character
sheets on paper from our website.

Of course, it is possible to play this campaign with characters created by you and your friends, just bare in mind that
some texts in this document might relate to a specific pregenerated character - you, as the GM, will have to pharaprase
those.

Let the players talk by turns and tell each other their stories, remind them that they can keep any details of their stories
from the others if they wish. Once the story of how they met is settled you can move on with this story.

 SCENE: THE BEACON

The story begins in yet another day in the Labyrinth, the greatest wormhole of them all, with corridors the size
of solar systems and thousands of exits to undiscovered Worlds.

For the first time you want to take the risk of going outside the known zones, far away from where your maps
end. It is time for a true adventure, which could very well be your last.

Only a few hours into uncharted territory your controls reveal a rescue beacon signal coming from far away. It
is the beacon of a space freighter from Nations Solution, one of the largest megacorps in the Corvosphere. It only
takes you a few moments to realise that it is the same kind of beacon you heard the day you rescued Remko from
a certain death

Let the players talk about it and wonder. The player

playing Remko should have a lot of interest in going to the
rescue. The Vexal players should be willing. If they dont,
remind them to play in character, if they do not follow the
beacon signal warn the Vexal believers that their God might
take away a power from them.
The Story

The beacon signal takes you through one of the

exits of the Labyrinth, your logs have no informa-
9 tion about it, either because they are not up to date
or because this exit has not yet been explored. It
takes you to a star system with a bright but small
faith rulebook

star with a few planets orbiting it, but your atten-

tion is soon caught by the huge space freighter in
front of you.

At first sight you can tell that it is out of power.

The engines are off but they are always off if the
ship is not accelerating. What is surprising is that
the ship is slowly turning in circles. Most likely it did
not exit the Labyrinth by choice but chance. It is now
continuously looping around the same area of the
wormhole.

The space freighter is enormous, a triple A class cargo ship that can move millions of tons at a time. The ship
itself is a structure designed to hold six cargo shuttles that are used to descend to mining colonies and come back
fully loaded with all sorts of cargo in containers.

The cockpit and most of the rooms and the hangar are in the front of the ship, and the engine room is 400 meters
behind, joined by a large spine that holds the six shuttles underneath.

Before you come out of your astonishment the freighter keeps turning over itself and reveals that the hangar
doors are open

Let the players discuss their next steps. If they have questions about the ship inform Meera of the technicalities about it -
she should know them. If they want to know more about this particular ship, not the model, ask them to explore around it. If
they decide to do directly to the open hangar go the SCENE: THE HANGAR, if they want to explore around go to SCENE: THERE
IS SOMETHING IN THIS SHIP.
SCENE: THERE IS SOMETHING IN THIS SHIP
WARNING: If the players went directly to the hangar do not play this scene out.

As you slowly move around the freighter two things come to your attention: The fourth shuttle has been
damaged rendering it useless and something seems to be stuck on one side of the freighter. You quickly zoom
digitally into it and the powerful camera of the ship shows you a high quality image of an strange shaped ship
encrusted into the freighter.

The area of contact is melted metal. Somehow that organic looking ship assaulted the freighter. In
disbelief you realise that the strange ship seems to be pulsing, like a living organism or an oversized organ.

through the door you just entered; there is another hangar

gate in this new area but it is closed.

Note 1: A crewmember escaped inside a repair ship in such a hurry that he did not close the hangar airlock behind him
before opening the outer gate, which means that all the air inside the hangar has been sucked into the vacuum of space.
This crewmember tried to escape through the wormhole and he is probably going to die soon.

Note 2: There is no artificial gravity in this spaceship, keep this in mind and remind it to your players. Shooting firearms
makes you fly away if you are not holding yourself on to something, and you can move in any direction using EVA instead
of Athletics for any physical action.

Note 3: There cannot be sound where there is no air. While in most of the ship there is air (no gravity, but air) in the hangar
there is no air therefore you can only hear yourself and others through the radio, nothing else.

Note 4: All the doors are double, so you can close a door behind you before opening the next and that way the air is not
lost. If both doors are open the air within the room will have anyone who is not holding tight on to a wall, floor or ceiling
fly away. If they restore energy in the freighter they can close the hangar doors and the atmosphere will be restored in
all areas.
SCENE: THE BROKEN PODS

The door opens with the laziness that characterizes most movements in space and while no sound can be heard,
in your minds you imagine the squeaking sound of an old rusty door. Inside there are no emergency lights, darkness
is absolute. Your heads and eyes move trying to cover everything, because in space danger can come from any
side. You see boxes upon boxes and a row of four cryostasis pods. All of them are broken and three of them are wet
with blood. There are pieces of clothes everywhere, as if bitten by a rabid dog. The only things left of the humans
kept there are the non organic parts, their watches, their radios and their belts.

You all look at Remko with pity, Remko only has eyes for what he sees and what he has seen, the memory
of a very similar moment.

Ying feels a current of air on his shoulders, he shivers. Then he realises: It cannot be, there was no air there, what

because there are monsters lurking around and he does
not dare get out. The monsters apparently sees in infrared
because they were able to find one of the crew members
hiding with a stealth suit. Needless to say it ate him.
 SCENE: THE CORRIDOR

The door takes you to a round and big corridor that goes up, or such is your impression as you must look up when
you enter it, but what does any of this mean in space?

The dim emergency lights help a little bit, as they are set around the different doors. Apart from the doors the
only things you find in the corridor are handles so people can push themselves up or down - again useless terms.
The corridor is large enough for all of you to move through it without needing to make a line.

The doors have written on the sides where they take you, there are three in addition to the one that takes to the hangar.
Scenes you can go to from here:

SCENE: THE HANGAR

SCENE: THE CONTROL ROOM

SCENE: THE CREW AREA

The Story

To go from any of those scenes to another of those scenes the players must move across the corridor. When the
players move back to a scene they have already played out, do not repeat it, instead communicate them that they have
nothing to do there, unless they forgot to do something, in which case they might explore further to get that done.

SCENE: THE CONTROL ROOM

Sadly the control rooms of spaceships are not as impressive as people imagine them to be. There are not
thousands of bleeping lights and buttons. There are not screens everywhere and dozens of workspaces for each
specialist. There are only three seats in front of an empty wall and each seat has a connexion at the height of the
neck, there the three pilots can connect themselves to the ship, and become the ship.

They no longer need to read or see the information, they know the information, it is part of them, like childhood
memories or the concept of self - all that occurs within the ship is uploaded to their minds in real time. As soon
as something happens, the pilots are aware, and the partial AI of the ship also uploads to their memories all
forms of solutions within milliconds after contrasting what is happening with its memory banks. Pilots do not
need to read, compare, or analyze anything. Their job is to make decisions.

If the players look around they find logs about the crew
(which is composed of 30 corvo members and 4 human
soldiers in cryostasis in the restricted area #2, next to the
hangar). Additionally they find a digital map of the ship,
which they can download to their hardware. From now on

shuttle #6. If they keep watching they go further back in
time and they see a corvo going into shuttle #4 to hide. No

SCENE: THE ENGINE ROOM
The engine room is huge and surprisingly well lit, it seems that most of the energy from the emergency genera-
tor is used to keep this area easy to work in. It is apparently empty

The players can operate in the engine room:

If they found the Corvo technician he can fix the freighter

in three days (remember that if they did not turn off the
beacon signal pirates will arrive). If they have not found
him, they hear a great noise and when they come out they
see that the third shuttle has detached itself and is going to
the closest planet. The players will have no idea of what
just happened but if they end up going there they might find
that corvo in future adventures.

Without the Corvo technician they cannot fix the ship, but
they can redirect the emergency energy supply to open the
doors of the hangar in restricted area #1 or to the medical
facility to use the machines to heal themselves. They can
always later on change where they redirect the energy.
While redirecting the energy to a specific location the rest
of the ship -apart from the engine room- is completely out
of light. Any monsters still alive if there are will come out
to find out what happened.
 SCENE: THE CREW AREA

At the beginning of the corridor there are two doors, one takes to the mechanics office and the other to the
medical facilities. After that there are seven rooms to each side of the wall.

The rooms are tiny and the crew sleeps by simply strapping themselves to the wall. One would think that
because the space is infinite real state in it would be cheap, but ships are made as small as possible and everything
is minimalistic, there is barely room to move around. The room is anything but impressive...
