conversations.from: system
conversations.value: By the year 2142, mankind has colonized multiple planets throughout our solar system and even terraformed some of them. The influx of new resources saved Earth's population from economic catastrophe, but their salvation came at a steep price.
  
  The privatization of space travel and the subsequent monopoly on interplanetary trade has elevated a select few companies to unprecedented wealth. One by one the superpowers of Earth capitulated to the corporate machine. CEOs rule like tyrants over economically enslaved populations living in perpetual debt.
  
  Yet there is hope in the unlikeliest of places. Even the wealth of the entire solar system could not slake their greed. They desired more. Needed more. The resources of other worlds. Other solar systems. Other galaxies. But the time, fuel, and manpower required to reach them with conventional travel is... cost inefficient.
  
  Thus was The High Road created. A machine capable of enlarging wormholes. A shortcut to profits as infinite as the universe itself. But this tool of their own exploitation is also an opportunity for escape. The rebel heart still beats long and loud in the breast of those who yearn for freedom in the great unknown.
  
  It won't be easy to steal a ship or find a crew, and even then you'll still need to find a habitable planet before your fuel runs out. Then there's the Debt Collectors and Corporate Liquidators. Who knows how far they'll go to chase you down?
  
  It's a risk for you and your family. A terrible risk. Will you take it?

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Someone's gotta clean the toilets. A job's a job, right?
conversations.prefix: Janitor:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Feeding the vast colonies with traditional farming methods is so last century. Today's food is grown in vats. You clean, maintain, and grow algae cultures and other bio-fuels. 
conversations.prefix: AGC Technician:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Greedy as the corporations are, they aren't stupid. Keeping the wage-slaves under their heel takes a bit of finesse and a lot of bread and circus. You make people smile and forget that their children make shoes.

conversations.prefix: Strong Back:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Voices in your head. Just kidding. Kinda.

conversations.prefix: Martial:

conversations.value: Getting enough food is hard enough, but getting enough minerals and healthy fats is even tougher. Your malnutrition as a kid has stunted your physical capabilities.
conversations.prefix: Nutrient Deficiancy:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A work accident has left you a bit of a dullard when it comes to complex thought.
conversations.prefix: Head Trauma:

conversations.prefix: Pacifist:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You speak your mind and damn the consequences. Guile isn't your thing, and your abrasive demeanor often gets you into trouble.
conversations.prefix: Crass:

  You've tried to forget about it, but you just can't.
conversations.prefix: Hurt:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Achilles Space Station is more than just an interplanetary pit stop for freighters and passenger liners bound for Mars. Its proximity to The High Road wormhole makes it strategically relevant--and not just for corporate security.
conversations.prefix: Achilles Station:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Ah, who doesn't love security checkpoints. Even though the bodyscans eliminated frisking and cavity searches, you still can't help but feel violated.
conversations.prefix: Security Checkpoint:

  Whether you fancy nightclubs, stage acts, designer drugs, or virtual reality--Achilles has it all.

conversations.value: It's black and features a biometric reader. Top of the line security. But what's on it?
conversations.prefix: Hex Drive:

conversations.prefix: Bust the Bulkhead:

  He seems frightened of you and runs away. Catch him if you can.
conversations.prefix: Catch The Light:

conversations.prefix: Convince Bane:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Black and terrible, Rend is a Liquidator Elite with muscles like tree roots and a tiled armor that covers every inch of him but his mouth.

  Go out in a blaze of glory, Tin!
conversations.prefix: Tin's Sacrifice:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Bane is unconscious and spiraling straight for the window breach. Save his life, and you'll earn some cred with the rebels.
conversations.prefix: Save Bane:

conversations.value: It's the only place left on Achilles that you know still has life support.
conversations.prefix: Rebel Hideout:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Everyone's ready to give up. Give them a reason not to.
conversations.prefix: Raise Morale:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Bane knows something about the hex drives. Now might be a good time to find out what it is.
conversations.prefix: Inquire about the Hex:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Bane will command one of the three groups, but two players must volunteer to command the others and choose who will go with them. You don't know who will be engaged first, but whoever it is, there will be no escape.
  
  To volunteer, pick up one of the 'Lead By Example' goal cards and play it against this challenge.
conversations.prefix: Volunteers? Anyone?:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: In times of crisis, you step up to lead.
conversations.prefix: Lead By Example:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've made your plans. Assigned your groups. CorpSec is dug in and waiting for you. The first to act in this scene will draw the most heat.
conversations.prefix: Make Your Move:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It's an antique gunpowder weapon that's useless versus liquidators, but you can still kill CorpSec with it.
conversations.prefix: Assault Rifle:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A sticker on the side reads: HANDLE WITH CARE, DIPSHIT.
  
  It's dangerous enough that it'll put some hurt on CorpSec, maybe even stun a Liquidator, but it also might blow up in your hands.
conversations.prefix: Pipe Bomb:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Pretty much a fire extinguisher duct taped to a backpack. Not exactly reliable, but it's better than trying to float through space.
conversations.prefix: DIY Jetpack:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Maybe you could shine it a Liquidator's eyes? Beat them over the head with it?
  
  I mean, it's better than trying to insult them to death. But not much better.
conversations.prefix: Flashlight:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: There wasn't enough time to make more pipe bombs, but maybe a keg of this stuff could still blow something up.
  
  Handle with care.
conversations.prefix: Black Powder:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: High tech stuff that'll stop the bleed no matter how bad it is. It'll plug up a gunshot, stab wound, heck even a severed limb.
conversations.prefix: Biogel Bandages:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your selfless attack will draw more heat to you, but grant others a better chance of making it.
conversations.prefix: Cause A Distraction:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You manage to fix and launch a set of escape pods on a crash course with Achilles Station, or one of the troop ships.
conversations.prefix: Launch The Pods:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're a coward, always have been. Maybe you don't want to be, but it's who you are.
  
  With the ship controls within your reach, you take the initiative to save yourself at the cost of your friends who haven't yet boarded the troop ship.
  
  [[NOTICE: Playing this goal card will END THE SCENE!
  
  Anyone not on board is left behind.]]
conversations.prefix: Betrayal:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've got to reach the bridge of one of the troop ships and wrest control of it by any means necessary. It's up to you whether you wait for anyone else to catch up.
conversations.prefix: Take The Bridge:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: By disguising yourself as CorpSec forces escorting prisoners, you slip past some of their defenses before they realize they've been duped.
conversations.prefix: A Clever Ruse:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Atmosphere escapes out of breaches and vents even as CorpSec forces swarm through choke points like angry bees in a honeycomb. Everywhere you look there are more. For now, you're pinned down. In five minutes, you'll be surrounded and killed or captured.
conversations.prefix: Yergein: Pinned Down:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Yergein's squad is pinned by heavy fire and will fall in minutes without your help.
conversations.prefix: INTERVENTION:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Two paths open up before you. You can either help Yergein's squad or blitz the troop ship bridge.
  
  Without intervention, Yergein's squad will undoubtedly be captured or killed. But if you intervene... your own chances of escape plummet.
conversations.prefix: Vannevar: A Big Decision:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Attempting a space walk now, with holes in the station and gunfire blazing, is more than a little crazy.
  
  It's still your best shot at making it to the troop ship.
conversations.prefix: Giani: A Calculated Risk:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The barrel is dinged and scratched, hilt chipped, and the darn thing kicks like a mule when you pull the trigger.
  
  It's altogether old and ornery, just like it's owner.
conversations.prefix: Vannevar's Pistol:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Don't let their child-like stature fool you, these are deadly killers. Handle with caution.
conversations.prefix: Thorn & Carrion:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It's not exactly heavily guarded, but you can't just waltz in and take a troop ship for a test drive.
  
  Eliminate the CorpSec flight crew without damaging the flight controls.
conversations.prefix: Blitz the Bridge:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're a coward, always have been. Maybe you don't want to be, but it's who you are.
  
  With the ship controls within your reach, you take the initiative to save yourself at the cost of your friends who haven't yet boarded the troop ship.
conversations.prefix: Betrayer:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The CorpSec troop ship 'Titan's Spear' is heavily damaged and both main and emergency power are not operational.
conversations.prefix: The Wounded Titan:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your goal is simple: find Captain Drussel.
  
  Searching his personal quarters might be a good place to start.
conversations.prefix: The Chase Begins:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Restoring main or emergency power is a top priority and an optimal job for your engineers and other mechanically inclined personnel.
conversations.prefix: The Juice Must Flow:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: (Power must be restored first)
  
  Outside there is only darkness. No stars, no planets, nothing.
  
  Where the heck are you?
conversations.prefix: Dude, Where's My Galaxy?:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: (Must play 'Step Up' goal card as one of the two challenge points)
  
  Every team needs an authority figure. If that's you, what's your plan to get everyone out of this mess?
  
  Do you send a distress signal? What do you do when you find Captain Drussel?
  
  Unless you want chaos, better set some ground rules down before everyone splinters off.
conversations.prefix: Plan Of Action:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: With Bane gone, there's a hole to be filled.
  
  Pick up and play this card against the challenge 'Plan of Action' to make yourself the de-facto leader of your rebel contingent (includes players).

conversations.prefix: Delirious:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Contracts and insurance have changed. An adjuster doesn't examine your coverage. The Adjusters recover and reclaim assets. Some are hard as nails kidnappers, others expert thieves... And then there's you, a project logistics manager in a personnel struggle.

conversations.value: You keep the machines that keep everyone alive running.

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're liscenced, under a law enforcement subsidiary on Achilles Station, working privatley with clients or negotiating with the Rent-A-Cops when told to. You've handled everything from Missing Persons to Homicides, and have the investigative grit and martial skills to back it up.
conversations.prefix: Aging Private Investigator:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've freinds on both sides of the divide: Maybe you're drinking buddies with a few 'Roid Miners from Saturn, or maybe a lower level executive owes you a favor for that one time. You've got freinds and contacts around, you're a known quantity.
conversations.prefix: Connected:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You do the right thing. In a world of money and power, sometimes you get told to look the other way. You cannot. Chivalry and justice still hold sway in your heart, and this has a habit of getting you into trouble.
conversations.prefix: Grey Knight:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've been around the block more than once. There are things you're proud of, and things you aren't. Things have a habit of showing up on your doorstep: Old friends, jilted lovers, enemies with scores to settle, they all want a piece of you.
conversations.prefix: Checkered Past:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You perform assigned manual labor. It doesn't pay much, which means that you'll probably need to take some other odd-jobs in order to scrape up some extra credits.
conversations.prefix: Manual Laborer:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: Scarred:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: Penniless:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've got a lot of charm in a small package, and it's gotten you pretty far in life. You learned how to attract people to you at a young age, and your looks aren't exactly shabby either.

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The luxury, wealth and privilege you once had are gone. Your own family turned their back on you. If you saw them in a thousand years it would be too soon. Its time to start something new.
conversations.prefix: Build a new life:

conversations.value: You've made sacrifices and performed expensive legal acrobatics for your freedom, but these jarheads haven't quite gotten the news yet. 
  
  They're not the type to be easily dissuaded.
  
  It doesn't help that *&ldquo;Hey guys, turns out I don't actually have a bounty anymore"* is one of the oldest tricks in the book.
conversations.prefix: Bounty Hunters:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You know how defend yourself. Not for any enthusiasm, but because your brief stint in the trade necessitated it. 
  Mostly you can get away with faking it, because people won't mess with a *(former)* drug dealer.

  It usually results in a frosty reception.
conversations.prefix: Criminal Record:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: C1ph3r:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Something happened a while back, and it's stuck with you ever since. You're not scared of the dark, not really; just what it reminds you of. You want to stop going back to that place, but it doesn't want to let you go.
conversations.prefix: Bad Memories:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Everything about you right down to your genes has prepared you for a very privileged type of life.
  
  That world is now gone and there are no memory-splices to deal with these situations.
conversations.prefix: What am I now?:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You have a way of making people feel at ease around you. It works great on stage, and tends to come in handy in real life as well.
conversations.prefix: Reassuring Presence:

conversations.value: The time you've spent living on the wrong side of the law has finally opened doors rather than closed them.
conversations.prefix: Criminal Connections:

conversations.prefix: Scrapper:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It's time for you to take control of yourself. Less emotion, more thinking, and more *action*.
conversations.prefix: Control:
