Yes! Our brave SPACE ADVENTURER will travel the sector in search of none other than adventure itself! The story is really shaping up now! Sort of.

Alright, two more questions and then it's time to begin the adventure!

Where Does Our Hero Live?

Livatama - Livatama is a sandy planet that is scarcely populated except for pockets of heavy civilization living in cities and towns. A mostly barren planet, Livatama earns it's livelihood by being a homestead for many smuggling and mercenary operations. - Start with poor wealth, but stronger connections to black market corporations.

Ehitus - Most people would say without hesitation that Ehitus is a prosperous planet home to many happy and wealthy people. However, beneath the towering structures and bright lights, there is a bustling community of poor and diseased who are tragically, ignored by the rich above. - Start with good wealth, but a very annoying disease that causes the victim to blackout when aroused.

Tuuker - Although the skies of Tuuker are dangerous, beneath the waters of the planet lives a thriving civilization of people who live mostly like anyone else! Safe within the heavily reinforced walls of their underwater city, the people of Tuuker are a private, and secluded group, if only because the weather makes landing and taking off so difficult! - People of Tuuker will always have your back, but it will be very difficult to take off from the planet.

Jam - Jam IV, bustling space station home to over 1300 inhabitants! What happened to Jam I through III? We don't like to talk about it. Become close with your neighbors, in this tightly packed sardine can of a space station, where you won't be the only one looking to get out of there as fast as possible. - Easily obtainable crew members, but they probably will only be temporary.

And what is our hero's name?

Livatama

Maximus is our hero's name.

Livatama, and I vote we name him Marilyn Rodriguez

JamJam IV and I vote for Marilyn Rodriguez as well.

No girl's name please.

I say Jam 4.

>>598490
How do you know it's not a boy's name in Jam4's culture?
And even if it's not, you never heard of "A boy named Sue"? Dude was a badass.

Plz double count all votes for Marilyn Rodriguez

Mr. robomullet

>>598491
I'm well aware of that song; I think it's dumb as hell. Secondly, I think we can assume the space human culture has similar naming conventions to ours, since we're coming up with names.

C'mon lazybones, we can't get to that ADVENTURE if we don't get the dink up!

Time for the moment of truth, he may have a poster but part of me prays his first name isn't marilyn.

(Actually glad we are on jam IV tho instead of livatama.)

>Be prepared to defend yourself from the Beholder hovering over your bead.

That's no beholder! That's my SWEET POSTER of MARILYN MANSON! He's definitive PROOF that cool guys can be named Marilyn too! Even though.. he wore makeup.. and was sort of weird.. but whatever! He was famous! And that means whatever he was doing, it was probably right!

*KNOCK KNOCK*

A voice yells out from behind the door, "Marilyn! I know you're up I heard your weird yelling again! Open the door, Marilyn!"

It's the voice of my arch nemesis!! My neighbor! He's-

"Open the door, you ass! You wake me up everyday with that crap, I KNOW you're there!"

He's a dick! WhadoIdo!?

>>599805
Open the door. Obviously. Put the bare amounts of clothing on first though. To do otherwise would be rude!

Cartwheel ass-first through the door of your home, wrapping your bare cheeks around the unnamed aggressor's facial area

Put on very tight mismatched clothing because you don't care what others think. Heroic exit!

Hesadick - "...Your DADDY said he wanted you, Marilyn."

Max - "It's MAX! MAXIMUS!"

Hesadick - "Sure, yeah, whatever. Why don't you put on something that isn't aggressively gay and go see what your big important daddy wants.... weirdo."

GOD WHAT A JERK!

Fuck that guy, your exit was cool as fuck max.

Go see what dad wants I guess.

>>600145
You really should put on something less aggressively gay though.

Hesadick's attitude about homosexuality is probably an anomaly in station culture, considering that any lifestyle choice that helps reduce population is probably welcome and accepted.
That being said, I suppose there's no call to look AGGRESSIVELY gay. Make sure you still look a little gay, though, so that people can see you're doing your part.
Also, stuff a roll of socks down your crotch.

Alright. I put on my usual clothes. And by usual I mean basically one of the only outfits I own. I'm told it smells terrible, I think I've gotten used to it though. I also stick a fruity pin in my headband. It's weird.

Yeah. Better see what dad wants.. I guess.

I enter the main control tower of the ship, where my father works.

Max - "You wanted me, dad..?"

Dad - "Marilyn! Thanks for coming! Nice of you to drop by!"

Max - "Uh, yeah. What'd you want me for?"

Dad - "I'm glad you asked! You see, Marilyn. We've detected two seperate communication signals coming from different directions, unfortunately with our comm equipment in the condition it is, we can only intercept one!"

Max - "So.."

Dad - "So! Seeing as there's a chance we could miss vital information, none of us have been able to make a choice of which to pursue!"

Max - "So you want me to make the choice, so if I choose the wrong one, it's not your fault?"

Dad - "Yes! Great! You get it!"

Which signal will you choose?

F00-BAR

or

F13-GGF

Can't go wrong with lucky 13.

BTW, no matter what the signal is, even if it's an ad for soap flakes, treat it as your CALL TO ADVENTURE!

Also, are these FTL comm signals or regular radio? Because if they're just radio signals, even if you pick the "wrong" one, you can just grab an FTL ship and zip out a few light minutes ahead of the other signal and intercept it too.

Go with 13. I'm sure nothing at all could go wrong.
NOTHING.
So aside from making this choice, what does your dad want you to do? Investigate?

>Number 13

Hell yeah nothing ever went wrong with the number thirteen ever. I inform my father of my descision and he lets the interception guys know. He glances to me as we wait.

"Sir, here it comes!"

The communications relay cracks to life as the transmission comes through..

"Again, this is Federation vessel Archduke, serial number 187-B42 requesting immediate assistance! We've narrowly..... the area, and have sustained... Have been... Sustained damage! Again..."

My father speaks up, "The message is choppy but the core made it through! Fed vessel requires our assistance. Inform the recovery team to prepare for possible EVA extraction, possible wounded and that they have to take Marilyn! Get on it! Let's go!"

Wow. When it really comes down to it, my father really can give a- Wait what was that last part? Did he say I was going with the-

"THIS IS THE RECOVERY CREW! And welcome to it. SO, our humble and kind captain has informed me that young 'Marilyn' here will be joining us on our trip to the Federation ship Archduke."

I just got here and he immediately starting yelling at me. This kind of bl-

Recover Leader - "YOU EVER BEEN EVA, BOY?!"

Max - "Wh-What?! I don't-"

Recovery Leader - "THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A YES! DO YOU HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WHAT-SOOO-EVERR??!"

Max - "Uh, no sir. But I bet I'd be good at it, sir!"

Recovery Leader - "IS THAT SO?? WELL, MISTER CONFIDENT.."

Chris Typhos - "Hey uh, I'm Chris Typhos. I used to be a mechanic on the station, fixed ships." The Leader of the Recovery team speaks up, "HE'S ALSO SLOW AS DIRT! TYPHOS IS ONE OF THE SLOWEST MOVING INDIVIDUALS I HAVE EVER SEEN!" Chris Typhos chuckles a bit, "Haha, yeah that too." It sounds like Chris has experience as a mechanic, but is slow moving on foot.

Mitch Segel - "Hey, kid. Mitch Segel. Used to be a stunt flyer on Marron, maybe you heard of it? Nah, didn't think you did." The Leader speaks up once more, "MISTER SEGEL IS ALSO A RUNABOUT RENEGADE, WHO FANCIES BRINGING ALONG A PISTOL FOR ALMOST EVERY MISSION, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS NOT. AT. ALL. REQUIRED!" Mitch Segel smirks, "You forgot to mention my fightin' skills, boss. I'm good at martial arts, remember?" It sounds like Mitch is an experiences pilot, has hand to hand combat skills, and knows how to use a pistol. However, he is a fellow who may do things on his own from time to time.

Travis Stallion - "SIR! TRAVIS STALLION, SIR! I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE, SIR! BUT I'M EAGER TO LEARN, SIR!" The leader once again speaks up, "STALLION MIGHT BE AN EXCEPTIONAL TEAM MEMBER IF NOT FOR THE FACT THAT HE IS A GOT-DAMNED CHILD!" Travis is visibly bothered, but he holds his tongue. It seems like Travis might learn quicker than others, but is young and liable to make some mistakes.

Alex Sinner - "Hey uh, Boss are you serious? You really gonna let this kid join the team?" The leader smirks, "Captain's orders, Sinner. You're stuck with him." Alex sneers, "Aw great.. I'm Alex. I got experience in medical I guess.. Don't get us killed, got it?" It sounds like Alex has medical skills, but is sort of.. uh... rude.

Todd Bocher - "Oh.. I'm uhh.. I'm uh.. Hm.." His words fade off into silence. The leader speaks up once more, looking madder than ever, "THIS LAZY SACK OF CRAP IS NAMED TODD BOCHER! AND THE ONLY THING I HAVE EVER SEEN HIM DO WITH ENERGY IS NAVIGATION AND STAR MAPPING!" It sounds like Todd is.. incredibly lazy. But has great interest in navigation.

I pause, contemplating. I need to decide which three of them to choose to come along with me on the recovery mission.

Bring Alex, you'll need her medical skill, report indicates possible wounded

Bring Mitch just in case things get dangerous, always good to have a solid combatant

and also Bring Travis, kid needs a chance to prove himself


Chris' repair skills might be needed later, but that can wait till your sure the area is secure, if it's too dangerous you may need to make a hasty get away and you don't want Chris around to slow you down at first

Bring Chris, Alex, and Todd. Get the ship and her injured stabilized and somewhere safe.

Bring Mitch, Alex and Todd. Mitch has a gun and can fly, Alex is a medic and Todd can navigate.

Okay, we need a medic. Do we need a pilot or a navigator? Who else is coming along? Can someone fill in with less experience? Bringing a mechanic sounds like a good idea since we know they've taken damage. That just leaves one slot open.

I decide on a crew comprised of Alex, Mitch, and Chris. We board the Recovery S1, where everyone gets into their places like professionals. Unsure of where to go, I hang around in the general area examining things.. Mitch informs me that it might take a while to get to the distress call, and that I should find something to keep myself busy. Should I..

C - Hang out with Alex and ask about medical supplies and procedure. (Gives medical experience.)

Mitch. Also hit on him.
