Proper Use For Any Module
Cannibalize it, suck out the marrow, be someone's awe.
As a gourmet treat, THE BLACK HEART OF PARADISE is
designed to offer players a town mechanic in Mothership,
allowing them to consume more encounters by collecting
bonuses and to recover quickly from Stress by reading
plot-divulging comics [pg 20], shopping for trinkets [pg
17] and gambling [pg 12]. Not to say the Strip isn’t itself
full of threats [pg 24], so players must stay on their toes
while carousing, or a Panic during their revelry could lead
only to more Stress. There’s also a few hidden passages to
learn about, tucked away and long forgotten by the
officers; they may prove useful when waiting on doorwells
[pg 5] between a wall of metal and a wall of horrors is not
an option. There should be plenty of variety to recover
from Stress before this patchwork colony ship explodes
under the weight of the Nautilus Nexus [pg 41], but if a PC
should die before then, there’s plenty of mercenaries
around to hire on and get quickly back to gaming, so play
hard, take risks and come back soon!
More Than Just Spoilers e
Players may skirt this module’s skein of nightmares and
pl
get away through more than a few less-than-heroic ways:
» Leave right after refueling. The Skaana [pg 7] doesn’t
go into full quantum lock-down until after the second
wave. Check the news feeds for the ending of the scenario.
(Play again as another group visiting at the same time to
m
cause the blow up this first group sees.)
» Kill the Hermit Horror [pg 36]. Does that make you a
monster? Is there something hideous about thinking the
lives of the Skaana and your own are more precious than
this beautiful esodimensional shrimp? Are you going to do
Sa
anything as great as this being? Have you even learned
what it does?
» Find and destroy all the motherchips [pg 28]. Well,
first find out that is what the horrors want, then find out
who on the ship knows where they are, then find io before
the Metagete get to ior, pluck out ior eyes and leave ior
crazy.
» Destroy the Dreamcatcher [pg 39]. This kills a
cordycepic link made by aliens repurposing the Horror’s
mucus to sustain this module’s obsessive creations. (Turn
the Hermit Horror off and on again to apply your changes;
otherwise, it’s still a problem.)
As a nice excuse to see the Strip of Las Vegas in the
comfort of your favorite genre alongside your favorite
group of roleplayers, this module encourages you to take
some silly psychedelics and get lost in its bazaars’ bizarro
architecture. When things start getting bad, spacetime gets
fixed until the issues are sorted, so you will need to be
ready to sober up, puzzle out problems, pick some sides,
and raise some bars [pg 18] back out of hell. If you don’t
find a way to appease the horrors herein, then you might as
well enjoy what you can of the Strip, because that means
e
this ship is going out in a flash. Enjoy the horrors, foreign
and domestic, be you one or the other.
The Prettiest Little Parlour
fil
Welcome aboard the Planetary Trader Skaana, a free
trade oasis in the black heart of the Dice system.
Please enjoy your time, however long you have, and
feel free to make time and stay as long as you like.
There is no tenant limit for full-time work staff!
Please note the locations of service terminals and
access doorwells. We don’t believe in spoiling the
fun here, so any tours [pg 6] outside of your own
explorations will have to be purchased at one of our
visitor sectors located at the four junctions along
the Skaana trade routes. All doorwells run along
these routes in quite the speedy fashion and are
the most secure way to get around – one fare lasts
a whole quarter day, and doorwells back to the
ship’s deck have always been -- and always will be
-- completely free. So wave those pesky
transporter regulations away, shove all your cares
into their cargo stores, and live... free. This has
been your Ship’s Liaison Hector Lynch, available to
discuss any and all trade related questions you
may have, big or small, any time you wish. You can
find my extension in the ship’s directory [see Major
NPCs, pg 8] and I will be glad to help. [A floating
note on all NFC-compatible devices and androids
reads “Some responses may be automated”, cannot
be cleared away, and dismisses as transmission
ends.] Again, thank you for your visitation, all ship
docking fees were paid for during the in-flight path
toll, so your worry-free journey through the light in
the darkness starts now.
A processing unit by the name of Motherchip has arrived
on the Skaana.
Sealed neatly in its shrinkwrap and quick-hardening foam,
it is a sterile and silenced thing. Opened and exposed to
the elements, it hums and vibrates. Its nautical core
beckoning into the dark, its simple task a holy one: to pray.

but that thing does not appear to have a soul.
What is this place?
The Skaana has all sorts, and the players arrive at the
ships’ deck to find everything in shipshape, if the ship was
also a riverboat casino. And its state does in some way
reflect this. With the askance party cups and fliers twirling
toward one air scrubber or another, it feels both nasty and
healthy, vibrant and gangly. And stunningly lit.
Immediately, the crew are awash in the joyous
choreography of noise and nonsensical shrift. Here,
everyone feels welcomed and shunned, every moment
feels opened and shut. But for now, it's a doorwell simple,
unassuming, and unfolding, quietly awaiting the crew to
grow out of the vista and hop on board. Once all are
inside, the doorwell seals, pressurizes and scoots smoothly
down its track toward a black heart, brightly lit.
What are we doing here?
Every place has its misgivings. A drug problem in this
sector, or a housing crisis passing on its second generation.
The Skaana has it all in spades. This casino-ridden, credit-
e
darkening cesspool of a trader has very little to offer in the
way of moral guidance. But what it doesn’t have in
goodness, it makes up for in beauty. It is here the crew
play, be they lowly merchants or company giants, the scum
pl
of the cosmic microwave background or the lords of the
holiest calling. It is here their Resolve is taken to enter a
paradise where horrors dress well. As the crew board the
doorwell, a terminal plays elevator music, and on its feed
runs a tourist promo full of the various bars and casinos
m
and shops on the Strip while below, a dark green bar with
white letters tickers across, describing the Prayco factory
fire and a causality count of 30 workers. If a player
touches or interacts with this ticker, have the terminal pull
up satellite footage of the factory fire. With a relevant
skill check, CCTV feeds depicting the scene described in
Sa
NOW DEPARTING can be displayed.
Doorwells
Doorwells are the best place to find a map and to get away
quickly from an unwanted encounter. They are self-
monitoring and self-maintained and have their own air
supply, functioning the entirety of the adventure: if a
doorwell’s tracks are ever destroyed, they self-repair and
are up and running again in 1d10 minutes. Roll 1d10 on
Fatal Injures table for every doorwell the players board
after the first to report a fatal work injury under the
tourism promo playing on the doorwell terminal’s ticker.
Issues With Utility Pod Dolphin
After learning all he can of the motherchip, Hector Lynch,
the Ship’s Liaison of the Skaana leaves on the utility pod
Dolphin [pg 26] to barter with a nearby asteroid colony for
fuel. Hector meets some crewmen and is taken to a room
to decline a cigar and to arrange payments for fuel. When
he is asked if he has anything else he would like to trade
while he’s “in such good company”, he presents the chip,
showing off its specs and its simple self-soldering
e
functionality to the asteroid president, who eventually
accepts the motherchip in a trade of whale and ox meat
and 5 poker chips of 2k credits. Hector pockets the credits,
leaves the office, and directs ior crew to load the Dolphin
fil
with the specified goods. The president sends a vid of this
deal to an investigator aboard the Visitor Parking Deck [pg
6] pacing and awaiting this transmission. Hector sends ior
report of the trade to Ship's Chief, cataloging the bonus
meat for crew portions simply as though io made out better
than expected with the fuel trade. On the return flight, io is
praised by ior crew and ior crew is praised by Ship’s
Chief. When Ship’s Chief cuts out, a projector continues
playing an in-flight movie from the Horror Show generator
[pg 20]. Everyone agrees it is a rather entertaining if
immediately forgettable vid before the horror's wails are
replaced by those of the livestock.

Visitor Parking Deck
All the ships of the people on the Strip, including that of
the crew are located here. Wardens are encouraged to pull
all the stops on what vehicles from history and media are
docked. Anyone looking to immediately get into trouble
can roll a check to spot a nervous investigator. Success:
player gets a word and possibly the vid from ISSUES...,
Failure: player gets punched and investigator vanishes.
Classic Ship Tours
Tours of ships can be prepared by a warden before play
using the below list and any necessary information online
or from a reference book source.

Pictures with a larping staff
At tour's end, the staff stands politely on a platform and
looks down at the tour groups' cameras waiting patiently as
the groups take selfies and set timers and make faces and
say silly words before flashes go off. For an extra d10
credits, the players may have their photos taken with
individual staff in one of three poses:
» Standing together
» Shaking hands while making eye contact
» Striking a signature pose
» Photos are framed, titled, dated, and copywrite (c) the tour company.
Authentic Time slots
To the length of the tour add 15 minutes (in order to
prepare between visits). The crew can board at the next
time slot. If you wish to generate a line for your wonderful
tour, you can jazz up the wait time with 1d10 groups
already in queue. Every hour waiting moves that clock an
hour closer to the Nautilus Nexus and end of the Skaana.

Planetary Trader Skaana
(Proper + Ring)
Hull: 360 (includes refugee Planetary Ring THE STRIP🏨)
Weapons: One of each from PSG 30.3: a Railgun on
Skaana Proper, one on each of the Ring's 3 cargo STRUTS,
and one on either side of the Ring. 1d10/2 weapons are
antiquated and require a day of special training [see
O'KARE, pg 8] to avoid 30% chance of a misfire.
Sometimes coffee stores just don’t have coffee inside,
other times they were moved to get to something else or by
someone who forgot what io was doing and covered up ior
mistakes, believing io’ll fix it later. So when the Skaana
needs parts and fast, it’s a full-time job requiring
specialists that know who to ask and who to task where.
For all other needs and for the chance of jury rigging, here
is a small list of immediately visible stores per level.

happens because codes get scratched or mislabeled by
cheap automation or else corrupted business during sales.

Officer’s Deck
Only the best will join, only the best of the best will enjoy
pensions. This tightly connected hierarchy runs what they
can of the ship’s more regulated affairs and offers to
visitors a professional place to broker good deals under
legally-binding terms. The people here have been on the
Skaana for either their whole lives or close to it, and are
very knowable of the history and goals of the trader.
Speaking with this crew will usually result in a stress heal
of 1 Stress per hour spent mingling and engaging in tete-a-
tete, and may usually be found scattered around either in
the old med bay-turned game room, galley-turned family
dining room, an old barracks-turned-meeting room (Plaque
reads: WAR ROOM), or their staterooms.
Notable NPCs on the Officer’s Deck
♥
Ship’s Chief
Commander Yesper Shultz
This Teamster used to run Fleet Duty
e
squads for the government around the Skaana’s trade route
before eventually finding iorself with an offer io couldn’t
refuse. To be trusted, to be used, to be kept safe or
pl
discarded at a moment’s notice [pg 42] by players. Asking
the Ship's Chief about ior past or otherwise engaging
Yesper with small talk eases the players into a reflective
state allowing them to spend 3 Resolve in order to
specialize in Crises related to one trained Master Skill
(Write under skill "+Crises": /2 Stress from checks while
m
using this skill).
Juicy Rumor: Draws charcoal sketches of visitors at Graft Park
while looking like io's doing paperwork.
♦
Ship’s Lead Professor
Xenoesoterist Limagdalenastelle
Sa
Staniforchakraborti, “but you can call me
Stanli”
This Android translates the Metagete requests and briefs
the ship’s crew on all statuses related to the incident.
Sharing information with ior comes highly recommended
and rewards with knowledge of the incoming disaster.
Juicy Rumor: Used to be a line cook for Sunny's Zenith before
getting a hard reset while on a date with a customer.
♠
Ship’s Liaison
Surgeon Hector Lynch
This Scientist, whilst studying their
bodies, discovers the horror aberrations are flawless, new
constructions with impossibly seamless genetic designs, as
though whatever created them had only some of the parts
and attempted to assemble them together via guesswork
using some machine capable of printing live organic tissues
with self-grafting enzymes. Not very dissimilar from the
e
work of paleontologists, and not very much like it, either.
Lynch will otherwise be a thorn in the players’ side until
they can get this guy spaced [pg 42].
fil
Juicy Rumor: Io has a hobby horse from childhood stashed under
ior bunk.
NO MODULES REMAIN
After the last module is destroyed, every 1d10 hours roll
Metagete’s Instinct [-] for locating the Liaison and filling ior with
wires until they plug into ior ID Tracker to locate the
motherchips. The Liaison calls a meeting in the WAR ROOM
to discuss with the crew and players what has been taken.
Proceed to LIGHT BRIDGE OUT OF THE DARK [pg 42].
♣
Arms’ Chief
Weapons Specialist Joey Denis
This Marine fires all the big guns in a
panic. Is sent to the brig where io is consequentially
sterilized, but is called back into service as a division
leader in charge of dispatching the riots when they break
out, unless, of course, a player gets to this position first.
Juicy Rumor: Secretly collects vintage trading cards. Has a stash
somewhere on the trader.
A player will be eligible for the Arms’ Chief position as
soon as Joey is put in the brig [pg 27]. If a player puts
iorself before the right people, takes initiative, and makes
this position, io will be tasked to formulate a battle plan to
defend against the horrors’ assaults, adding +2 hours to
each module destruction roll and lowering enemy counts
by 1 (enemy count cannot go below 1) for each correctly
deployed pair from the Charon division.
Learning the quirks of the Charon division officers will be
essential in getting all the bonuses for assigning the right
unit to the right location, as documented by the Charon
Division Dispatch flowchart.

Success: Player gets Awareness aire (+5% to surprised

Shot aire (-5% Combat at long range this session).
Players roll for turn order while the warden picks an
object in the room, writing down what it is. Warden then
proceeds to stare at it as players each spends their 2
guesses to deduce what has caught the warden’s eye. After
all guesses have been made, writing is flipped and object
revealed. A player guessing correctly gets Keen Sight aire

no guesses are correct, warden gets a Haunt chit (can
treat a fear save on one surprised check as a failed save).

Due to the history of the ship, there is an eclectic and
eccentric story woven into these dishes. Years of having all
the wrong pieces has jumbled everything from texture to
serving tray. And no matter how many galactically-praised
chefs are brought in to culture the wayfaring survivors,
roots of their culture continue to make it to table. Rightly
prepared, such roots are doubted, tried then touted some of
the best the Dice system has on offer.
Fourier Ray's Burgers and Steaks
An amazingly quiet place easily mistaken for a tax front
until the food arrives fresh and delicious and blows these
cares away. This diner-themed diner has a fractal pattern on
e
the floor tiles and evokes a calming air through its smooth
jazz rills. The grill is hot and taking orders any time day or
night and the chef is also bus and wait staff on slow days
pl
(most days). Stays in business from all the stage actors
coming here on their shows’ closing nights.
Galactic Super Clusters
A pizzeria with earth-themed pizzas named after natural
wonders and life forms. There is Laser Hockey, Arcade
m
racefight games, a pin full of softly glowing led balls and a
stack of trivia cards to keep kids both entertained while
waiting and demanding to come back soon.
The Forever Fast
Sa
All food is loudly dressed and served lean (as in two-thirds
portions), but where it skimps it makes up for in energy
and a knowledgeable set of regulars. Ask around to get the
dirt on the ship's upper crust, and the word on the fairest
game in town (a flat d30 Contents result).
Sunny_s Zenith
Nothing beats the morning out of you like the stimulants
served in these cups (+1% Intellect for d10 hrs, max +5%,
addictive), unless, of course, you arrive right as they open
to instead greet their d10 wait line. With a patio setting the
Skaana Proper center stage, this spot has been many a
writer's long-time favorite for generations.

Skaana the Trader
Once a humble freighter specializing in livestock, the Skaana
already had a small history of extraordinary Commanders with
their own amazing stories. All of which can be seen in the
Ship’s Directory under "Commanders".
Disaster at Roanorlan
When Quartermaster Array Dormonsuer of the Sol's 101st
Fleet, Ret. and Commander of the freighter Skaana saw the
brave people of Roanorlan helplessly overrun by waves of
horrendous beasts, he had to evacuate them.
One Amazing Journey
Calling in all his favors, the commander received massive
aid from ships offering the freighter supplies for its trip.
Though the freighter may arrive to port, local governments
could not take so many refugees, offering only more supplies.
The First Year
Feeling awful for their living conditions, the commander spent
all his retirement earnings on building these people nearly
adequate living conditions and creating small ‘sleep stacks’
whose 32-occupancy design is still seen in use today.
Organizing the Pieces
e
Many of the resources handed out by planets were poorly
documented and incorrect. Sometimes the wrong cargo is
sent, and the ship strikes it rich. Other times, the medicine
arrives, but it is spoiled and toxic.
pl
Have Skil ls, Wil l Work
Using donated devices, the refugees formulated their own
system of address using a mesh net to contact one another
and to establish businesses. By signing on to the network and
listing relevant skills, they got to work.
m
A Casino in the Nothing
An investor saw something special happening on the Skaana
and, though no one here had any money, saw opportunity in
all the tourists coming to visit the ship and purchase its unique
wares. A casino was planned, built, and born.
Stars Align
Sa
As soon as one casino went up, many more started breaking
ground until the entire hull was overhauled and transformed
into a massive ring of metal around the ship complete with
state-of-the-art piping, parks, and batteries.
Where the Story Ends
Today, the Skaana is considered one of the freest and finest
ships in the galaxy and is an amazing example of capitalism's
finest power: joining hands to create a world where no world
has any right to exist.
The Future Now
The ship may yet find itself in an orbit and drop off all who
wish to go planetside. Though with so many ill-equipped for
such gravity, making a home here on the Skaana itself is many
a tenant's biggest dream.
[ Parks and Art Walks ]
] After so many years gambling away oxygen for credits and[
[ time off, people change. They grow a new mind over the ]
] old one, both minds surfacing at different points in the [
[ same conversation; it’s hard to discern motives and ]
] alliances. Morals are as mystical and archaic as the gods [
[ who forged them, and nothing is off the table. You can get ]
] it all here in a day and lose it all before the next. [
e
Graft Park
A park lined with fountains, award-winning dynamic
lighting, and shrubbery. The plants have speakers singing
to them in melodic tones reminiscent of crickets. Every
fil
hour here relieves 1 Stress.
Tenderloft
Billboards sponsoring living plants line the rows in this
park decked out with hammocks set up on plastiprint trees.
All the fake trees are pay-operated and spout 150 mls of
water for 1 credit.
Free Dome
A little sports park with a pay-operated ball printer printing
one high quality plastiprint ball of ior choice for 5 credits
and displays holographic goals, nets, and boundary lines
for an additional and discounted 20 credits (20% OFF!) for
45 minutes.
Scarborough
Small and coiling, this park is a simple labyrinth of rocks
and thin grasses set in a 1km path looping back around
itself 10 times before ending on a bench signed by the
original crew at its center. 10 plaques around the path have
the Skaana's story written out.

Brought to the Strip by crews needing to head planetside
or else by those heading to the ring to serve on Flight duty,
drugs come easy, cheap and make for poor currency here.
Sold by the dose both in stores and on street corners,
psychedelics are a great way for scientists to conduct some
research while turning a small profit to buy chemical test
strips, equipment, bandwidth, and lab space for some
questionably viable publications. Patrons get their own
entertainment out of the deal, as well as light sticks and
even coupons from filling out review surveys.
Both regulars and clerks show the crew which drugs are
fungibles and which are wack so as to keep the party lit.
Psychedelics cure 1 Phobia or Quirk within 4d10 hours.
Taking the same components more than once a month
induces a level-1 crisis Mysticism check or permanently

A Fright From Beyond
Either to be spaced or studied, as the Dolphin and its meat
is approached, 1d10 Sporcas [Combat:30 Speed:20 Instinct:45
Hits:10(25) Spike:1d10(PIN); Lunge & Bite:2d10(INFECT)] arrive on
the Ship’s Bay and begin tearing open the Dolphin like a
can of pork spilling meat. This makes the floors slick with
fatty oils (-5% Combat at Short range). The Sporcas
trample through the deck, eyes darting, searching for
motherchips, moving on to consume crew for the Light
Bridge tearing apart the Deck in their wake.
Ship's crew and officers, already assembled for the
meeting, form ranks and engage the Sporcas and pass out
weapons. Someone pulls out a fire extinguisher – says io
saw it work once in a vid (pronounced wid like in widow;
colloquialism: Whache widdin? – What are you watching?)
As the crew organizes into ranks, the players receive one
free mercenary each; all mercenaries come equipped with
an Extermination Loadout and a Quirk from the d100
Quirks table [pg 48].
e
Each Hit Pool destroyed has a 30% chance of dissolving a
horror’s mucus, causing it to scream (Fear save or 1d10
Stress) and phase-shift from lack of its protection to return
pl
to the Hermit Horror. Fire extinguishers sprayed in a
Sporca’s mouth on its last Hit Pool leaves it unconscious;
all captive horrors vanish from containment in 1d10 hours.
Sporcas can be studied for their light-weaving webbing.

After 30 minutes, the horrors glitch and stretch to blink out
of sight, each leaving behind mucus in a lightly radioactive
pile. This mucus may be researched for its insulating and
its camouflaging properties.
Scientists immediately pull out equipment from belts,
briefcases and backpacks to begin analyzing the makeup
and to scan the space around the ship for life. Although
many visitors are coming and going from the Skaana at all
times, these scientists may find the Hermit Horror on
scanners via a hunch if a skill check is made by the players,
resulting in an increase of the false-negative threshold for:
SCANS REVEAL
01. lifeform signal types (Result: “fresh air”ponda rosa pines”)
02. morse code-like thrumming dictations (alien)
e
03. positioning coordinates data (erratic mass)
04. boosted AM frequency jamming a comms channel
05. biological workings (gurgling noises)
06. distinct computer processing signals
07. obscure, minute gravitational readings (horrors)

08. distortion of star cluster (optical feed)
09. traceable particles coming in contact with ship
(Result: "unknown shrimp type")
10. visual feed (captures a disfigured person in a lab
coat floating in space, then stretching to vanish)
If the ship locates any signs, they may be tracked and
followed back to reveal the location of the Hermit Horror
in 1d10 hours. The Skaana may debate either to attack the
Horror or bunker down, either way siding with the
majority of players' feelings. In the event of assault, refer to
the Hermit Horror Ship Sheet [pg 47] engaging like SvS
combat, treat all limbs of the Hermit like spacetime-folding
CQC reaching the Skaana without the Horror itself
moving. All successful shots fired at the Hermit Horror hit
the Pereopods first. The Hermit Horror disengages as soon
as the Skaana ceases fire.
Any talk of mandatory evacuation of the Skaana brought
up by the players is met with prejudice from all crew and
officers on account of their contracts with stockholders,
saying they will speak further of it at the meeting, now
postponed until tomorrow afternoon. The players are told
to return at that time to the WAR ROOM.
Before they leave, the slimy surgeon Hector Lynch
approaches the players, telling them io will offer them all
something precious to ior if they would follow to ior
stateroom for a moment.
Otherwise, a doorwell is called up, and players are given
time to resupply, party, enjoy a tour of a ship in Visitor's
Parking [pg 6], get off the Skaana, have an encounter in the
park, and book a hotel for the night.
All of the Charon Division have leave for the next 12 hours
and split to hit the Strip at favored Destructable Contents
modules. To find out where, roll 1d6/2 for the 10s place,
and, for the 1s place, use their Location [pg 9].
The Power of Prayer
In Hector's stateroom decorated with beautifully drawn
diagrams of partially vivisected horrors from far-off
places, the players are asked to make themselves
comfortable as Lynch reveals to them a silken box with 2
motherchips inside. Io reveals the chip to be a “prayer
assistant” helping the user build unique prayers and
learning about the user to say what to pray forgiveness for
doing or not doing.
Lynch is not completely sure whether or not this is what
the horrors were after but would greatly appreciate it if the
players would run some field tests and report any results
they may have directly to Lynch. Other teams will also be
reporting, but only the first team to report any relevant
information will get the bounty (1k credit Poker chip).
Players are asked to leave at once, much work to be done.
They are free to carry on to another stateroom, if else
encouraged to head back to a bar, their ship, or Graft Park.
Motherchip specs
e
A motherchip will offer +1d10 damage, relieve 1 Stress
and add +5% Combat to any one attack if and only if an
action is spent praying a charged prayer. At the beginning
pl
of combat and once every 4 rounds, the motherchip will
ping its host player with the floating note: "Remember to
say your prayers, and you will always have protection".
HOW TO PRAY
m
To charge a prayer, infect a personal piece of
technology with a motherchip. To print a
prayer derived from user data once every
12 hours, roll on the d100 prayers table.
Say and act in character toward fulfilling this
Sa
prayer to charge it for a day. Each charge
has (3) ammo. Each prayer holds 1 charge.
Players craft prayer goals in NOTES on their sheet and act
to fulfill them. Warden is encouraged to whimsically deal
charges out, rewarding with them to players whenever a
character does something noteworthy, neat or entertaining.
WARNING LABEL: “Motherchip will self-solder onto
any device when placed near a power supply line."

WARNING LABEL: ”Use of this product means you
have read through and agreed to Prayco's ToS.”
Meanwhile all throughout the ship, upon returning from
the meeting to their posts, ship’s crew begin to construct
creepy occult Protection Circles made from spare,
meticulously cleaned generator capacitors, electrical parts
from random units (all electrical equipment in lockers
now have a 20% chance of not functioning), jumper cables
running from generator ports, and baling wire. Put a few
Protection Circles in every d10 encounters on the Strip.
These circles are compatible with motherchips (+4d10
damage to horrors touching such a circle; motherchip is
e
slagged if removed while the power is on and/or without a
successful Computers skill check to set the temperature on
the soldering iron to the correct setting).
