If you’re on a planet and your ship isn’t broken, some young people decide to leave the village and continue to travel through space. Choose who, and choose if the narrative goes with them or stays on the planet.
-
In space, you meet a new alien species on their spaceship. Their technology as about the same level as yours. As you start making friends with them, they tell you they’ve found a new species of animals on a foreign planet, but can’t get them to breed. You are both shocked and amused to find out that a) these “animals” are in fact the first alien species you met, hold captive by them, and b) the reason they’re not breeding is that all 3 of them are (roll)
1,2 - male
3,4 - female
5,6 - small children
Your crew gathers on your ship do discuss what to do next. (Your choice)
a) You flee before they make YOU their new pets.
b) If you have some of the species in question on board, you give them to your new friends in exchange for supplies and information about their homeworld.
c) 3 of your crewmembers stay on their ship, in exchange, they hand their prisoners over to you.
d) You try and fight the prisoners free. [name_m]Roll[/name_m].
1,2 - It works!
3 - It works, but one of them dies.
4 - It works, but one of you dies.
5 - It doesn’t work. You flee.
6 - It doesn’t work, and now they hold 3 of you captive, too!
In any case, the narrative stays on your ship.
If you have a working freezer and lost someone, start pregnancies to make the number of passengers what it was before.
-
If you’re on a planet, roll.
1 - A child is born.
2 - Two children are born to different parents.
3 - Twins are born (if you roll twins on this pregnancy, they’re triplets)
4 - If you have alien pets, they breed. There’s 4 more of them now, name them. If you didn’t have pets, you find some. 4 of them, choose names.
5,6 - There’s an alien ship in orbit, of a species you’ve never met before. Their level of thechnology seems to equal yours, and there are 6 of them on a ship for 12.
5 - They are searching for alien life, just like you were. They land, you exchange information about your homeworlds. When they leave, they offer to take 2 of you with them. You can choose to take the offer or not, and choose where the narrative stays.
6 - They are looking for a place to settle. Choose if you
a) welcome them in your community
b) let them settle on another continent
c) don’t let them stay on “your” planet. -
In any case, 2 years pass.

On your ship: You come across a planet and soon realise that it’s the homeworld of the species you met 2 years ago, who had prisoners as “pets”. When they recognise you, they invite you to land. You learn that the ship you met was full of criminals who were of course not allowed to hold anyone captive. They’re in prison now, and anyone they held captive on their ship is returned to you, including (choose)

c) 2 pets
You leave their planet happily reunited with your lost crewmembers.
