Battle a God in Disguise

They say an entity of primordial power stalks the arenas of many worlds, seeking to best interlopers from other realities.

The Alien Seeks You

The Nex sings with songs of passion. You and that attractive alien who you keep running into are caught in a web of fate. You must seek the center to unravel it.

Set Things Right

Things nearly get out of hand, but after much running to and fro, the strange invasion of umbrella stands from the Impossible Dimensions is defeated by a jellied candy. Perhaps you and the nutcase in the tesseract machine will meet again? In the meantime, there are other good works to be done.

Decipher the Strange Carvings

The walls are covered in some sort of creepy petroglyph. What secrets do they hold?

Stop a Sacrifice

Cutting sentients open to propitate primitive godforms is considered rather gauche in most parts of the universe. Not here, it would seem.

Despite being crushed by pilons, chipped a bit by circular blades and all the holes from landing on the spikes, at least one desperate ex-slave has become a lean, mean, spaceship-operating machine.

BEM

Ancient Ruins

The Savage Wilderness

Very few planets are entirely consumed by civilization. Some have regions which are positively uncouth.

A once proud culture flourished here. Could they have been the progenitors of a star-spanning civilization?

Always

Always

Decipher the Strange Carvings

A straightforward challenge

The walls are covered in some sort of creepy petroglyph. What secrets do they hold?

Stop a Sacrifice

A straightforward challenge

Cutting sentients open to propitate primitive godforms is considered rather gauche in most parts of the universe. Not here, it would seem.

Disable the Boobytraps

A straightforward challenge

Boy, they sure knew how to make them, in the old days. It's amazing they're still functioning after all these years, really.

            1
            Unlocked with 1 x Mobius Spark  - you have 6

Maybe these devices weren't built so well after all. A little grit here, a knot undone there and these delicately-balanced death-machines come right apart.

You've gained 1 x TCB (new total 36 - Peregrination Artist).

You succeeded in a TCB challenge! (Simple challenges mean you don't learn so much.)

Overgrown Trail

The Savage Wilderness

Very few planets are entirely consumed by civilization. Some have regions which are positively uncouth.

It appears no one has passed this way in some time.

Always

Always

There's no use going any further. If the rest of the planet is this poorly maintaned, one might as well view it from the star port's observation decks.

A straightforward challenge

No mutant shrubbery wll stand in the way of progress!

Unless you are Taking Care of Business everyday, you're just going to end up sitting around on some rock your whole life.

Inspire a Monument

False God

Somewhere out there, a bunch of primitive dupes think you're going to perform miracles for them. Won't they be suprised?

An almost impossible challenge

It may take thousands of hours and a few lives, but your worshippers must be kept busy. This is as good a spot as any to proclaim as holy.


Success!

Blast a New path

A straightforward challenge

            1
            You need BEM 1 (you have 26)

            1
            Unlocked with BEM 1 - you have 26

This landscape looks a lot better now that it's been cleared for civilized development. The outcry of angry natives one might expect is not forthcoming. But eyes are watching and the "Fire God" song is being chanted somewhere.

Knocking cultist heads together can be very therapeutic. Saving their would-be victim, even more so.

The Slave Pits


Raiding Party

A bunch of tough-looking aliens who pop out of nowhere is never a good thing. When they open fire, it's even worse.

Sometimes

Surrender Unconditionally

Hey! They've got guns.

Fight Them Off

BEM

The more physically powerful you become, the more aliens will fear you as an approaching Bug Eyed Monster

A straightforward challenge

How dare they?!? They have no idea who they're messing with!

Cloud Their Minds

ESP

People often use Extra Sensory Perception to bend utensils, but this is still considered rude except on Earth.

A straightforward challenge

Their minds are full of greed and aggression. That has to create all sorts of holes in their mental defences.

Build a Forcefield

TCB

Unless you are Taking Care of Business everyday, you're just going to end up sitting around on some rock your whole life.

A straightforward challenge

With no tools, no time and no idea how to build one, really, it's a million-to-one chance, but it just might work!

Channel the Power of the Nex

As a Nex Master, these goons won't be hard to defeat.

A Heated Moment

In the midst of battle, you caught someone's eye. Was that the spark of love in their eyes or were they seeing a worthy adversary?


They Flee in Disgrace

When all the possible words are yours to command, few foes stand a chance. Their ship is up for grabs and the stars await. It has some... peculiar data onboard.

You have moved to a new area: The Space Lanes

You now have 1 x The Quantum Affair.

Secret Base

Hidden right there, where no one would suggest, is some kind of alien outpost.

Sometimes

Sometimes

Stage a Daring Raid

An almost impossible challenge

If you can get past their security, invisibility screens, elite guards and discorporation-cannons, you can probably find out why they're here.

Probe Their Thoughts

An almost impossible challenge

The aliens inside no doubt think about what they're doing occaisonally.

Hack into the Security System

A modest challenge

It can't be that good of a cloaking device if you managed to stumble across it.

Just Knock on the Observation Window

Maybe they're friendly.
