So, management isn't happy about how we're doing things around here. Something about workplace safety violations and following health and safety protocols. Never heard anything about them prior, but we've been told we have to clean up our act or risk losing it. I just spent my entire night reading over this to make sense of it, so pardon if what I'm about to say sounds like legal babble. Honestly, it mostly is.

Hey, no being rowdy during the legal nonsense! I said stop it!

What's that?! Put it down right now! Don't you dare throw it!

The weird ball lands on the ground between the hosts and the players, immediately whirring to life. The strange ball then emits a blue vapor, which rises through the air for mere moments before condensing into a solid form and crashing into the ground with a thud. This causes the ball to collapse in on itself.

All of a sudden things start to go fuzzy, like an old-fashioned TV with bad reception. Friends and enemies alike start to vanish from their locations, as the world around you starts to blink in and out of existence. It feels like reality is warping, twisting, and changing...

... away from this...

If you would like some mood music...

{Bonobo} is ejected out of the air lock, coffin and all. On the way out, the coffin bangs against the ship as the door flies open and Bonobo spills out into space. The mass of matted fur rotates in the null gravity, the limbs splaying out in all directions. They almost seem to be twitching, contracting in the near-absolute-zero of space. Bonobo’s eyes fly open, bloodshot as the vessels burst due to decompression. They focus on the viewing port. Are they... still alive? You can only watch in horror as your ape companion begins to suffocate in the blackness of space. They desperately grasp for air as a cold chill of outer space begins to run down their spine and quickly sweeps all over their body. Your former friend pounds on the ship, desperate to be let in before they die in the cold wasteland they were ejected into. It's not long before Bonobo stops moving. You're not sure what got them first, the extreme cold or the lack of breathable oxygen.

But it's not long before something else happens, either. The dead body of your former companion begins to grow many sizes, rapidly expanding past the size of your puny ship. {Maggie Smith} suddenly busts in from her exile, and you see a terrified look on her face as she sees what's happening.

"Don't just stand there! Move! If this ship doesn't get moving, we're all going to die!" It's not long before {Bard} grabs ahold of the steering console and {The Tortoise & The Hare} grab the warp drive. You need to move, and fast.

Those of you looking outside the ship see {Bonobo} still growing, losing its fur, and gaining a large number of tentacled appendages. Two eyes suddenly become who knows how many, glowing in an eerie blue light. You get the feeling that it's looking right at you, and that it wants revenge.

It slams at the ship! "Warp drives disabled!" Shouts {Hare}. It looks like you're going to have to flee for your lives the old fashioned way...

{to be continued...}

{Bard} puts the ship as fast as it can go, {Bonobo} hot on their heels. It makes a desperate swing with one of its many appendages, but Bard swerves the ship like a pro. {...Bees?} and {Grogu} take this moment to grab hold onto ships two emergency drop pods, desperately attempting to get either to open as {Avocado} and {Maggie Smith} try to get shields online. {Dark Rey} and {Cleric} keep watch over the strange creature, attempting to give as much information as they can to help everyone else. For once, it seems like everyone is willing to work together in this moment of peril.

"On your left!" Dark Rey shouts. Bard makes an evasive maneuver, grazing by another attack by the skin of their teeth. Bard grits their teeth at the result. They know that the group can't keep going like this. They're just barely faster, and all it would take is one good hit for the ship, and everyone on board, to be done for.

"Shields at 50%!" Avocado shouts. Maybe there is some hope after all. If the shields come online, then that would buy them some time for Bees and Grogu to open the emergency pods, and they could maybe get out of here alive.

"Uh..." Cleric begins mumbling. "...what is it doing?"

"I think it's charging something." Dark Rey responds. "I can't tell what it is..."

'We're almost there!" Shouts Maggie Smith...

But what about Bees and Grogu? Why has no one heard from them? Where's the status updates on the emergency drop pod?

It doesn't matter. It seems that {Bonobo} has finished charging. It lets loose a beam of hot plasma that tears through the ship! Oxygen rushes out of the ship as the depressurization tears the ship into shreds!

The last thing any of you feel is the cold blackness of space, as your body freezes to death.

{to be continued...}

"Hello? Can any of you hear me?" {Supervisor Silverclaw} shouts. Oh thank goodness, you're alive. Back at the construction site, it seems. You have no idea how you got back here, but you'll take it. It's better than freezing to death.

"Did any of you even listen to what I was saying? And why is {Bonobo} lying on the ground like that? Are they okay?" Paramedics rush to Bonobo's side, as the rest of you are brought back to the merge house.

{Avocado}, {Bard}, {...Bees?}, {Cleric},
{Dark Rey}, {Grogu}, {Maggie Smith}, {The Tortoise & The Hare}

You may now talk to your current tribe.

(we'll be swapping the forum theme back over shortly! If you still want to use it, it will stay available and findable under your profile. But the timer may not always work)
