  ** *Note:* This game is intended for mature writers and readers. I will be allowing for sexual themes, graphic violence, drug and alcohol content, etc., where they may fit into the narrative. I am looking for mature players with a high level of writing ability, who are comfortable playing with these themes. I will be allowing players freedom to write in as mature a tone as they feel is appropriate (within reason), and as such, anyone who is uncomfortable with such mature themes should probably skip over this one. The safety and well-being of my players is of utmost importance to me.**
  
  ** *To be clear:* This is not license to be intentionally hurtful or hateful. My intention is to give players the opportunity to explore themes that may not fit or be appropriate elsewhere. I still require respect for each other and for each other's boundaries. Again, the safety and well-being of my players is my foremost concern. *(See "Host's Rules" section for further details)* **

  *Captain’s Log::July-15-2215 - Standard Earth Calendar*
  
  ** *//Logged by Captain Eric Stark//* **
  
  *There’s still no solid evidence on what might have thrown us out here. I’ve been on calls with Captain Abelson and the other captains all day, and the best we can come up with is some kind of hyperspace anomaly. But really, all that means is that we still don’t know. Whatever it was, it’s thrown us straight into hell.*
  
  *We managed to repel the last attack without taking any serious damage, but they got a lot closer to us this time before sensors identified them. Abelson’s requested both the Minnows do full systems checks. I hope we find the problem before there’s another attack.*
  
  *Nav computers still can’t figure out where we are. Wherever it is, it’s outside of Alliance comms range, so we’re on our own.*
  
  *//End Log*

  Part of a convoy lost in hostile space, the crew of the freight vessel *Vast Beyond* struggles to keep calm under stresses for which they were never trained, nor expected to face. With pirates and anti-Alliance factions an ever-present danger, there are also mysterious, seemingly random problems plaguing the rest of the convoy. Time is not an ally, and even allies may not be trustworthy.
  
  Your captain, Eric Stark, is doing what he can to help find the way back into friendly space. Your task is to keep safe your mysterious cargo while trying to survive the constant threats of hostile space. There are many questions and too few answers here: Why did the Earth-based Alliance Navy hire civilian shipping contractors for such a secretive cargo? How did the entire convoy end up going adrift in hyperspace, sending you god-knows how far off your intended course? What is the cause of the strange maladies affecting both the ships of the convoy and their crews? Can you survive long enough to get any answers?
  
  ***
  
  ** *Vast Beyond* ** is intended to be a sci-fi drama along the lines of *Firefly*-meets-*Battlestar Galactica*. I'm looking for 4-5 players to take on the role of the crew of the *Vast Beyond*. Players will deal with the threat of attacks on their convoy, the mystery of an unknown cargo and an accident which has left their convoy lost in unfamiliar space. The primary goal will be to return to Alliance space.
  
  Characters will be pushed to their limits (and possibly beyond) as they scramble to survive and find a way home. It's possible that not all of them will make it out alive. (See "Host Rules" for more details)

conversations.prefix: First Mate:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Captain of the Stonevault. A hard man, ex-military, and notoriously pragmatic. While he is no longer a part of the Alliance Navy, he is perhaps the most experienced in combat of all those in the convoy, and Captain Abelson often seeks his advice.
conversations.prefix: Captain Mason Goodwell:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Captain Abelson has requested your presence aboard the *Greatwall*! She's sending a shuttle for you.

conversations.prefix: Vast Beyond - Medical:
conversations.from: human

conversations.value: Kitchen and dining area for the crew of the *Vast Beyond*. Also serves as the primary gathering space on the ship.

conversations.prefix: Make Repairs:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: The Rookie:
conversations.from: human

conversations.prefix: Pilot:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: There's been some anomalies in the convoy's communications. The *Vast Beyond* is the only ship not showing contaminated signals. Abelson has asked Stark and crew to search for answers in the comms records.

conversations.value: Military shipments aren't often handed out to civilian ships. This could be your chance to make connections within the Alliances right arm.
conversations.prefix: Military Connections:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You want Captain Stark's approval. Perhaps getting lost is your opportunity to prove yourself.
conversations.prefix: Earn the Captain's Respect:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It's rare for the military to ship anything with civilian ships, rarer for entire convoys to just go missing. Something is off about this whole situation, and you intend to uncover it!
conversations.prefix: "Lost":
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your past doesn't matter, you look forward to the future. This situation is your chance to start what will be your legend!

conversations.prefix: Encryption Code for the Greatwall:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Top-of-the-line combat armour. Hard-sealed against vacuum, and extreme heat and cold. Expensive enough that even the Alliance military can only provide these suits to their best troops.
conversations.prefix: Titan X-507 Combat Armour:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Standard-issue Alliance sidearm. Commonly referred to as an "Exat", this weapon is capable of firing in a vacuum, which is why it picked up so much popularity in the Alliance Navy.
conversations.prefix: EX-4T Sidearm:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: This code allows access to the armoury of the Greatwall. Commander Abelson keeps a list of everyone who has access to this code.

conversations.prefix: SC-224 Carbine:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: What is causing the disturbances with the scanning equipment? Find out before anyone attacks.
conversations.prefix: Discover the Source of the Disturbance:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Someone is tampering with vital equipment and giving away the convoy's position, you're sure of it! How else could so many things go wrong at once?
conversations.prefix: Reveal the Traitor:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Anti-Alliance ships have gotten past the defenses. They are about to board the ship. They have offered fair treatment to all non-Alliance persons who surrender without resistance. Can you trust them?
conversations.prefix: You Are Being Boarded!:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've had enough of this. Cramped in the confines of this starship, waiting for the next attack. You need friendly soil beneath your feet and you need it now!
conversations.prefix: Void Sickness:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: There's a lot to worry about when you're trapped in hostile space. Find someone who can help take your mind off of things.
conversations.prefix: Love in Lowly Places:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've come upon a rare quiet moment. Use this time to prepare for the next attack by optimizing the ship's defensive capabilities.
conversations.prefix: Look for Ways to Boost the Ship's Defenses:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The last attack damaged some non-critical systems. Best to make repairs now, while you can. Suit up, you'll need to get on the hull to make the repairs.
conversations.prefix: Make Repairs:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The *Vast Beyond's* sealed cargo is stored here. Pirates seem interested in acquiring whatever is in the crates here. Some of the crew prefer to spend their free time here, as it is comparatively quiet and cut off from the rest of the ship.
conversations.prefix: Vast Beyond - Cargo Hold:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Only slightly larger than the cabins of the crew quarters, the captain's cabin is located close to the cockpit, where he can be roused quickly in emergencies.
conversations.prefix: Vast Beyond - Captain's Quarters:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Over twice the size of the the *Vast Beyond*, the *April Dawn* and her crew are responsible for the largest containers of the shipment. The primary target of pirate attacks, the *Dawn* has suffered the most damage of any ship in the convoy, despite the best efforts of the Alliance military guard.
conversations.prefix: The April Dawn - Heavy Freighter:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The primary escort of the lost convoy, the *Greatwall* acts as the command center for the wayward vessels. Her captain requires regular updates from the other ships of the convoy, and does her best to keep them hopeful.
  
  Holds four short-range snub fighters which can be scrambled to defend the convoy within minutes.
conversations.prefix: The Greatwall - Alliance Cruiser:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A small escort vessel carrying a short-range snub fighter and an advanced reconnaissance suite designed to give advanced warning of possible attacks. Sister ship to the *Broadsword*.
conversations.prefix: The Longsword - Alliance "Minnow"-Class Escort:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A small escort vessel carrying a short-range snub fighter and an advanced reconnaissance suite designed to give advanced warning of possible attacks. Sister ship to the *Longsword*.
conversations.prefix: The Broadsword - Alliance "Minnow"-Class Escort:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The imposing *Stonevault*, while larger than the *Vast Beyond*, has the same cargo space, but boasts much more firepower - resting firmly on the limits of what is legal on a non-military vessel. Capable of carrying even the most dangerous and volatile of cargoes, as well as defending it, the *Stonevault* is a well-respected ship.
conversations.prefix: The Stonevault - High Security Transport:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Of comparable size to the *Vast Beyond*, the *Lady* carries yet more sealed crates of military goods.
conversations.prefix: The Lady Madeline - Freighter:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Commanding officer of the Longsword. Raised in a military family, has a promising career ahead of him, should he be able to return to Alliance space unharmed.
conversations.prefix: Commander Welsh:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: Commander Westhaver:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Captain of the April Dawn. An old hand at running freight, Captain Preston has secured his position as a respected shipper time and time again over the years. This is not his first military convoy.
conversations.prefix: Captain Leslie Preston:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Daughter of the well-known freight king Adwell Freeman, the captain of the Lady Madeline seeks to uphold her father's name while paving the way for her own growing reputation. Though she is the least experienced captain in the convoy, her crew are veterans, loyal to her father and his empire.
conversations.prefix: Captain Susan Freeman:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Captain of the Greatwall. A strong and respected leader, despite her relative youth. Tasked with escorting the convoy safely to its destination, she now fights to maintain order and control while trying to find a way back to Alliance space before it's too late.
conversations.prefix: Captain Helena Abelson:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The Alliance is hiding something. Maybe this cargo isn't so routine after all. Everything's sealed up, but with the right tools, someone might be able to find out what's inside.
conversations.prefix: Find Out What's in the Crates:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Strange and unexpected failures have been reported by the ships in the convoy. What could be causing these issues?
conversations.prefix: Find Out What is Causing the Malfunctions:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A strange infection is spreading among the crews of the convoy. Find out where the infection came from before everyone is infected!
conversations.prefix: Find the Cause of the Infection:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Pirates are attacking the convoy! Man the guns, scramble the fighters, prepare for combat.
conversations.prefix: Fend Off the Pirate Attack:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Hauling freight is just a job, but to those who hate the Alliance, any citizen outside alliance space is fair game. Of course, taking down an Alliance vessel is an even greater goal for these terrorists.
conversations.prefix: Anti-Alliance Terrorist Attack:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Captain Stark leads the crew of the Vast Beyond. While friendly with his crew, they know little about him or his past, but some suspect he was once Alliance military. A man with eyes as weary as his may have quite the story, but he is not so eager to have it told.
conversations.prefix: Captain Eric Stark:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Commander Adrian Welsh of the *Longsword* has taken control of the *Greatwall* and is trying to take control of the convoy. Abelson has a plan to escape with as many ships as she can.
conversations.prefix: Mutiny!:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Captain is no longer trustworthy! Take over command of the ship by any means necessary. Those who aren't with you, are against you.
conversations.prefix: Codeword is "Mutiny":
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The worst has happened. Pirates have slipped by the defenses and are now preparing to board the ship. Stand and fight, run and hide, or surrender, choose wisely, and choose quickly.
conversations.prefix: Prepare to be Boarded!:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Another vessel in the convoy has requested assistance, stand ready to aid them!
conversations.prefix: Assistance Required!:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The crew needs to eat, and you are responsible for making sure what they eat is at least mostly edible. In charge of managing food stores as well as cooking, you have your work cut out for you, rationing what you have until you can get back to civilized space.
conversations.prefix: Cook:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your job on the Vast Beyond is to keep her defenses in shape. Pirates and thieves are plentiful even in Alliance space, and it's your job to make sure the ship, her cargo, and her crew get from A to B in one piece.
  
  
conversations.prefix: Security Officer:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: There are a lot of stars out there, and more ways to get lost in space. Your job is to make sure that doesn't happen. Your training with nav-computers and astro-charts is necessary if the convoy hopes to find its way back to Alliance space.
conversations.prefix: Navigator:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your past life as a smuggler has left you with many skills traditional haulers just don't have. Now that you've gone legitimate, you rarely use them, but perhaps they can help the convoy get back home safely.
conversations.prefix: Dubious Past:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Why you took a job in interstellar shipping you will never quite figure out, but too much time without a planet beneath your feet makes you uneasy. You hope the convoy gets back to familiar space before you break down.
conversations.prefix: Void-sick:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You don't like pirates. No hauler does, but for you it's personal. Now that you're trapped in hostile space, you find your old anger rising up again, threatening to consume your thoughts.
conversations.prefix: Make the Pirates Pay:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: Danger Within or Without:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Standard armour for combat on space-faring vessels. Hard-sealed against vacuum and temperatures. Features ablative plating which absorbs impacts, but needs to be replaced regularly.
conversations.prefix: "Boxer" Class 2 Ablative Armour:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Standard space-ready suit. Most freighters carry one or two of these suits, in case someone needs to get outside the ship to make repairs, etc. Not easily damaged, but not intended for combat use.
conversations.prefix: Hostile-Environment Suit:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Kobol AR is a weapon found on both military and civilian ships. An old design, but very sturdy.
conversations.prefix: Kobol Assault Rifle:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A fairly common Directed Energy Weapon. Due to some Alliance restrictions, Cutlasses have to be manufactured outside Alliance space, and are most often found used by pirates.
conversations.prefix: Cutlass DEW:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The only Directed Energy Weapon currently manufactured within Alliance space, the Abaddon is quickly becoming a favorite among those who can afford the new weapons technology.

conversations.value: The *Beyond* took some damage in the last attack. Get things fixed up as best as you can while you have the time.
conversations.prefix: Minor Repairs:

conversations.prefix: Tracking Data:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Abelson's ordered a check on the drive cores for every ship in the convoy. If there are any radiation leaks, it's imperative that they be fixed immediately.
conversations.prefix: Check on the Drive Core:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The *Vast Beyond*'s scanners collect data during the attacks. Along with data from the *Greatwall*, this may be enough to get some idea of who's behind them.

conversations.prefix: Mess with everyone but the cook.:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: Mildly paranoid. :

conversations.value: You have a difficult time accepting authority figures, acting in a way that, on a military ship would be seen as insubordinate.
conversations.prefix: Authority Issues:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You are neither the smartest nor the strongest, but you are amongst that niche group of charismatic talkers. Though you have plenty of flaws yourself, you manage to compose yourself to such a degree that you find joy and purpose in making others forget their hardships, if only briefly. Be that through offering a listening ear, or babbling the other person's ears off.

conversations.prefix: Expectations:

Luckily you are aware of this and through that knowledge you accept it for what it is. Just another day on a job gone wrong. 
conversations.prefix: Accepting of your fears.:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The military taught you crucial lessons and shaped the person that you are now. However, prior to enlisting you were living side by side with your companion named poverty, rendering you unable to have started let alone completed a study.  You are not dumb per se but you haven't enjoyed the oppertunity to blossom either.

  Of course, just because you notice something, just because you realize something is *off*, that doesn't mean you'll admit it to yourself. You have a blind spot the size of the *Greatwall* when it comes to the Alliance Navy and Alliance wrongdoing in general. After all, you're a *patriot*.

conversations.value: You did everything you could to make your captain proud...and now you're not even sure he's still alive.  From this point on, it's time to start making decisions for yourself.
conversations.prefix: Graduation:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You left the navy because the burden of command was too much, but now the captain and first mate are both out of action.  Stark trusted you.  Time to step up.
conversations.prefix: Step Up:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Your captain, your crew, your ship - your duty is to keep them safe.
conversations.prefix: Loyalty:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You are ill, everyone knows that. As an ex-medic, you also know that proper nutrition and hydration is very important. But you aren't allowed to raid the larder, yet you are hungry... yet you aren't allowed to raid the larder. 
conversations.prefix: Starving:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Captain Stark is gone.
  His killer is still aboard the *Beyond*, and may be your only source of information on what's going on. Can you trust the man who shot your captain? What about the Alliance officer who seems to want to take his place?
conversations.prefix: What Next?:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're awake now, and you can feel your strength returning. You feel better, but *changed*. Knowing what you know now, will you accept what's happening, or fight against it? What if there *is* no "cure"?
conversations.prefix: Jolanta: Something New:
conversations.from: gpt

  And it might just get you all killed.
  
conversations.prefix: Xenotech:
conversations.from: human

conversations.prefix: Jolanta: The Final Piece of the Puzzle:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Jumping away has bought the *Beyond* some time, but you can't stay here forever. It's time to settle on a plan to reunite the convoy.
conversations.prefix: Retaking the Convoy: The Plan:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've got a plan, but you need to convince Welsh that you're on *his* side. If you can't, things might get very rough, very fast.
conversations.prefix: Retaking the Convoy: Commander Welsh:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The behemoth ship has returned. The *Vast Beyond* is in no shape to fight. You'll have to survive as long as you can, and hope the military ships can do *something*.
conversations.prefix: The Star-Golem:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Captain Stark made *you* his second-in-command. This is *your* ship, *your* crew. Abelson is getting out of your way. Time to show everyone what you can do.

conversations.value: When you get back to familiar space, you'll have a window to get your message out. Better make sure it's ready.
conversations.prefix: Prepare the Broadcast:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Vision has been working on comparing their star charts with yours. With any luck, that will be what you need to find a way home.

conversations.prefix: Lt. Chris Miller:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It's time to choose. The last shuttles for the Minnows are leaving. You can go back to the Alliance and hope for the best, or take your chances out on the rim.
conversations.prefix: Jolanta: Stay or Go?:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Whatever you do now, you served once.

conversations.value: The Alliance - Ableson - Walsh - Miller and his buddies - the pirates - they're all using the convoy like pawns in their stupid game and it's pissing you off.
conversations.prefix: Seeing Red:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your nation did it before you, your parents taught you and your brother showed you: Never give up.

conversations.value: You've spent a lifetime doing the opposite of what people want you to do. Why stop now?
conversations.prefix: Ornery:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Stress, grief, guilt and intoxication make for an explosive combination.
conversations.prefix: Breaking Point:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Would not call it sympathy. It is simply the addition of positive reinforcement to increase overall ship strength, yes?
conversations.prefix: Reinforcement:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Vast Beyond is incomplete. To keep the machinery running, you need the crew to survive.
conversations.prefix: In One Piece:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've got a track record, and that certain look.
  
  Might as well be tattooed on your forehead: 'Can't be trusted.'
conversations.prefix: Untrustworthy:

conversations.prefix: Chart a Course:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're prone to listening to that little voice in your head that tells you you're not good enough.

conversations.prefix: Overcrowded:

conversations.value: *Tethered to a bird of sorrow,*
  *A voice that's buried in the hollow,*
  *You've given over to self-deceiving,*
  *You prostrate, bow but not believing,*
  *You've squandered more than you could borrow,*
  *You bet your joy on all tomorrows...*
  
  *- Bird of Sorrow, Glen Hansard*

conversations.value: You can only burn the candle at both ends for so long before it catches up to you.
conversations.prefix: Exhausted:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You have the option to choose between two extremes, both of which seem equally distressing to you. Deciding is hard, and amicable feelings towards the crew can only get you so far.
