conversations.value: 47 years ago, a wormhole connecting the Milky Way with the Sunflower Galaxy (also known as M63) appeared. Mankind launched a swift and succesful colonization effort, aided in large part by the discovery of two garden planets (Baressia and Arta) within M63. 
  
  10 years ago, the wormhole mysteriously disappeared. The hundreds of millions of people residing in colonized M63 were left with no way to contact those in the Milky Way. Though FTL technology had been making steady advancements, it would still take centuries to traverse the distance between the two galaxies. 
  
  The loss of the wormhole, while damaging, was not debilitating to the humans of M63. They'd had ample time to colonize and establish themselves. While some effort was put forth to reestablish communications with the Milky Way, something of greater importance dictated that attention be focused elsewhere. 
  
  Six years ago, the Conflux appeared. It was mankind's first encounter with an alien race. It was also nearly their last. The Conflux posessed technology that was a complete enigma to even the brightest of human minds. When they attacked, they devastated and they left nothing behind once they left. Thousands of humans vanished in the aftermath of Conflux raids.
  
  The threat was dire. A joint security-military firm known as Sisyphus Armed Forces (SAF) began production on two prototype warships. These ships, known as Aegis and Kopis class, suceeded where no other military vessel could succeed. Their creation turned the tide of the war. Fleets of them were deployed throughout colonized M63 and the instances of humans vanishing dropped significantly. 
  
  Currently, most of the galaxy is still centered on the war with the Conflux. However, for those dwelling on the Iobates spaceport, other problems have arisen. Located in the Proetus system on the very fringes of colonized M63, the port is a hub of activity due mainly to its proximity to several large mining operations. For the same reasons, it's also where many black market transactions take place. Iobates has some security in the form of stationed SAF soldiers and a local authority force, but the port is so vast that even their vigilant patrols can't possibly put an end to all things illegitimate that occur there. 
  
  Life on the outskirts of colonized space is risky for a number of reasons. The Conflux are known to strike in systems that are isolated from others, such as Proetus. Encounters with raiders--looking to forcibly take precious resource cargo from mining ships and SAF carries both--is common. Living on Iobates is not for the faint of heart or those that lack a sense of adventure. 
  
  And now things are about to take a different turn. The Conflux is not the only hostile species out there, as those on Iobates are about to discover. And given how great an enemy the Conflux are, can M63's human population survive another threat of that magnitude?

  **Narrator’s Notes:** Your character will be stationed on the Iobates spaceport. I’m looking for 5-7 players. I’ve created my own cards, but feel free to create your own as long as they’re relevant to the story’s universe. Only one of each nature is needed, so please look at what’s already been submitted when applying.
  
  This game shares a universe with another game I'm narrating (link: https://storium.com/game/crux). That game focuses on the war with the Conflux while this one will focus on not only first contact made with another species, but the issues of inhabiting a space port in a solar system rife with raiders. If you’d like a better idea of the history of the universe these games are based on, you can find a reference guide here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KJWV8AfC8EWxPtu1P3toEc7dms4fJruVkQySxVWYQ5c/pub
  
  This game won’t necessarily be moving fast, but it will be steady. If you can’t commit to posting **AT LEAST 1-2 times a week**, this may not be the game for you. Additionally, this game will probably contain strong language, violence, and disturbing imagery, so consider yourselves warned.
  
  Character selection and gameplay probably won’t start until next week sometime as I’ll be away most of the weekend. **If you submit a character and don’t hear from me immediately, please be patient. :)** 
  
  **NOTE: Some natures have already been filled. Natures NOT filled are: Port Medic, Ex-Raider, Merchant and Former Aegis Crewman. I'd REALLY like to have a medic.**

conversations.prefix: Keep 'Em Out (Curve:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've got customers in here (even though it's early day cycle). You've also got cash and valuable stashed away. You'll be goddamned if you're going to let raider trash appropriate any of it.
conversations.prefix: Keep 'Em Out (Curve):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're currently holding a large quantity of valuable merchandise on your person. So valuable, in fact, that the raiders might start to wonder just who you are if they catch you with it.
conversations.prefix: Protect Your Shipment (Lazlo):
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: This could be a very bad situation. Fortunately, you've learned how to benefit from even the worst case scenarios.
conversations.prefix: Capitalize (RB):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Everyone knows that if the raiders gain entry into the rest of the port that shit's going to head south REAL fast. Keep them contained in 4 Bay by any means necessary.
conversations.prefix: Keep Them Contained (Everyone):
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: 4 Bay is locked down and getting into a firefight with a small army of raiders is not your idea of a good time. You need to find--or make--an exit.
conversations.prefix: Find a Way Out (Everyone):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The raiders are opting to shoot first because who the fuck cares about questions. You and every other medic on Iobates are going to be very busy--oh, wait. You're the only "medic" in 4 Bay right now. Have fun!
conversations.prefix: Tend to the Wounded (Aram):
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: If they find the seeds, they're going to want to know why you have them. They're also going to want to know who you got them from. Which means, you're going to become a person of interest to the raiders. You need to stall them until help can arrive.
conversations.prefix: Create a Bluff / Distraction (Cyrus):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Providing nobody else has fucked with the door, your passcode should override the lockdown. Getting to the garage means safety. However, there may be a raider or panicked civvie standing in your way.
conversations.prefix: Get Back to the Garage (Mel):
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: There are many people taking refuge behind the barricade. You need to maintain it until help arrives.
conversations.prefix: Maintain the Barricade (Everyone):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You need a fingerprint or a passcode to get these doors open. At this point in time, you're not really worried about *how* you get one or the other.
conversations.prefix: Open the Blast Doors (Luci, Lazlo):
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The sprinkler systems are on, but they're old and ill-maintained and are malfunctioning in places. Human effort is required in order to get the fires out.
conversations.prefix: Put Out The Fires (Everyone):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Who knows what's in there? To get in you're going to have to rely more on wits and less on punchy punchy. Obvious violence will get you detected and likely arrested.
conversations.prefix: Sneak Onto the Ship:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Ship parts that actually work and are kind of new are in high demand here for mechanics, smugglers, and merchants. If you're careful to avoid port security, you can help yourself to whatever you can take off the *Magellanic Queen*.
conversations.prefix: Cannibalize For Parts:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've got contacts in port security, so you've managed to get some one on one time with a bunch of raiders. Now you need to figure out which one was calling the shots.
conversations.prefix: Find the Raider Boss:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: All the belongings have been stripped from the raiders, both alive and dead. You know where these belongings are being held. You never know what you might find among them and if you can't use it, chances are good someone else on Iobates can ...
