[You’re escorted onto your ship by a stern-faced looking assistant, and without any warning whatsoever, it rolls its way up the ramp and launches into the air… Enjoy the view, because without any regard for the laws of science, the ship continues to climb. And climb. And climb.

Welcome to space. Soon the ship is sailing on the suddenly literal sea of stars, and the ship even has a deck to admire the view from. The only acknowledgment that space might be unsafe is the fish-bowl bubble helmets available inside… But you don’t need those to breathe the refreshing space air.]

Chapter I.

[witchesandscores]

[ Before you know it, a voice rings out over the radio.]

“SPACE HEROES! THE MOON PRINCESS NEEDS YOU! Those evil, green-skinned aliens have whisked her away to their strange, levitating space city and you’re the only people who can save her in time--

Captain --- --- Rush your starship to -- Don’t-- Space pirates-- hurry!”

[ Unfortunately, right after this crackling radio announcement rings out over your spaceship, the SPACE STORM arrives. Lightning crackles all around, and the stars grow dim beneath roiling dark clouds.

But that’s not all. Above even the boom-roar of the weather, you hear the ominous creaking of black sails: A PIRATE SHIP is bearing down on you, cannons visible, and a rough voice over your radio DEMANDS YOUR SURRENDER. ]

Chapter II.

[witchesandscores]

[BUT FAIR HEROES, all is not saved!

You still have to contend with THE MIGHTY, RAGING STORM that batters your ship. The wheel spins wildly out of control, and your ship threatens to buckle under the waves.

The space waves.

The ENEMY PIRATE SHIPS are also SINKING.]

Chapter III.

[witchesandscores]

[ Having weathered the storm and the pirates, you now face the problem that your MAP was drenched and shredded in the hullabaloo, and with many pieces washed overboard there’s no longer a clear patch to the space city. Without a map, you poor heroes will never find your way through the treacherous space seas.

But all is not lost! Have courage! There’s still a path to PLANET X, where you can buy a new space map.

Unfortunately, the instant that your ship docks on PLANET X, a set of uniformed CUSTOMS GUARDS begin demanding your TOURIST PASSPORTS. ]

Climax

[witchesandscores]

[Thanks to your HEROIC SPEECH, the guards inform you that the PRINCESS is at the ALIEN PALACE.

Before you lies the intimidating spires of the PALACE. It’s quite pretty, and the path you’re on leads right to the main door… Except for the six ARMED GUARDS standing in your way.]

Finale

[witchesandscores]

[ You’ve finally reached the princess…

Only the princess screams that is DEEPLY IN LOVE with the alien prince, and wishes to stay here. If she’s returned, she’ll never see him again due to her parent’s demands that she accept an arranged marriage. Who cares what happens to her planet in her absence?! She’s in love, and she’ll never go with you! NEVER!

EVEN IF IT MEANS BURNING TO DEATH BECAUSE YOU SET THE PALACE ON FIRE.

ONLY YOU CAN DECIDE THE FATE OF THE PRINCESS, AND THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE. ]
