Abducted

The More You Know

At some point in your life, you've likely looked up at the night sky, wondering if there was intelligent life out there in the universe? What forms would it take? What would they want with Humanity?

Congratulations - you no longer have to wonder, since these burly blue dwarfs who call themselves the "Protectors" have selected you as the next involuntary subject they're rescuing to preserve on a distant colony world (all the while ignoring the question of why they think humans need rescuing). And you've just seen Jupiter go past the view port.

Aliens have abducted you

You're barely two weeks out from Earth when the ship comes under attack - by space pirates (Yes, this is a thing). As it happens, there's quite the market for human servants by the more wealthy members of interstellar society, so it's off to the slave markets for you.

Space Pirates want your Booty

At the slave pens, they cut off your clothes, scrub you from head to toe, place you in an autodoc to make sure you're healthy, pump something into you, program you to speak the interstellar trade language used by the Pax Confederation before sending you on to the final check out. So when the red panel lights up with the alien letters that spell out "Reject", you suddenly realize why the conveyor belt you're on is now dumping you into a pit.

Yo! What's that grinding noise?

Fortunately, you land on top of a mattress (certified deceased) brought by these alien college students intent on liberating you and a few more of your fellow humans. Don't wiggle too much trying to climb out, okay? And put on this jumpsuit, nobody wants to see you naked.

And while the alien college students would love to be able to send you back to DIrt, there's just too many inhabited planets with that name out there. Fortunately, there are other humans roaming the Pax Confederation, mostly former companions, slaves, test subjects, zoo specimens, and even a few stowaways. So maybe they know the Dirt you're looking for?

So, to get you off the planet, their best bet (and source of drinking money) is to get you aboard a ship as crew with the other human wilders.

You're being shanghaied for beer money

But there is a small problem. one human artifact all human wilders (other races are wilders, too) have brought with them and treat with great reverence. They have broken this into four parts, and no ship will lift unless the crew can reassemble this artifact among themselves. It's such a problem that captains check to make sure their human crew members have this, and will not let you aboard without this.

So, traveler, what is your Monopoly token and its colors?

You realize now that space is strange

So, dear traveler, are you ready to see the universe?
