The White Star

The White Star is a mining ship that was passing the less traveled sector of the Tau Ceti system that contains the desert moon 31U00W. While passing the moon the ship can pick up a distress signal sent by the stranded student astronaut Taylor. It acts as a rescue ship for Taylor in two endings. Members include Mari Lee, some minors for tunguskite, and a captain and doctor.

It is featured in *Lifeline: Silent Night*, with it serving as the main location for the latter. It was hinted upon in Lifeline's Sneak Peek.

## Description

The ship that Taylor was traveling on before the Varia crashed, and is considerably bigger. It is also bigger but less maneuverable than the marine ship Viridian. Taylor describes the ship as utilitarian, or not built for comfort as it is designed purely to collect ore.

It is also worth noting that the White Star can be known to have been a class of British cruise liners in the 19th and early 20th century (which includes the Titanic), and a type of ship in a 1990's movie called The Babylon Project 5.

## Plot

When in the Peak Taylor can investigate monitors set up in a small room. Taylor will notice the true nature of the peak and notice the presence of a ship passing over the sector. The player has the option to advise Taylor to break into the system and send off a distress signal to hopefully contact the passing ship.

If Taylor sends the signal, protects the monitors, and survives the Lifeforms attacks, the ship will change course and prepare to rescue the survivor.

If the player makes certain decisions the ship will touch down on the surface of the moon some distance from the Peak, where Taylor can rush out towards it, passing the Lifeforms that are now only interested in the new arrivals.

As Taylor runs out to the ship some of the crew will come out of the ship, prompting Taylor to warn them of their peril.

If Taylor musters the courage to continue s/he’ll continue running towards the ship succumbing to the Lifeforms hypnosis as s/he does, before being slapped by a member of the White Star crew and abruptly coming out of the hypnosis.

If Taylor saves the captain the White Star will pick her up before leaving the moon.

The crew then prepare and report Taylor’s story and order a bomb strike from the Ninth Battalion, prompting the events of the *Lifeline: Silent Night* sneak peak and *Lifeline: Silent Night.*
Sure, give it a shot.

### Dialogue

```
All right! That's the spirit! Let's just wash down these last few kernels
of lab food, and then it's galley time!

```

```
Back through the main hall, and then down one of the side corridors...

```

```
...and, hey, Good News/Bad News time. There IS a galley on this ship!
And its door is ajar!

```

```
But it's... hnnnn... it's not open... wide enough... for me to get through.

```

```
It's a lot smaller than the galley on the Varia. And it looks like the
inside of a galley-themed snowglobe after someone shook it violently.

```

```
Everything is just everywhere, just strewn all over the place. MREs just
waiting to disappoint someone's palate.

```

```
The door seriously will not budge. But hey, all hope is not lost. I think
I have an idea.

```

```
If I can find enough spare parts among the junk in this ship, I should
be able to fashion some sort of reaching pole.

```

```
And it won't be too difficult to make a simple grabbing claw that I can
trigger from my end.

```

```
Give me a few minutes to root around in here, and I'll see what I can
come up with

```

```
[Taylor is Busy]

```

```
Okay! My Reachin' Stick is done. That's with capital letters because this
is obviously a million-dollar idea.

```

```
(It's amazing how many million-dollar ideas you come up with when you're
stranded in space, where a million dollars is useless.)

```

```
I've already banged up my shoulder, so why not strain it to the breaking
point by shoving it as far through the door as it'll go?

```

```
All right, Reachin' Stick... let's start reachin'!

```

```
Steady... steady...

```

```
CRAP! I was not steady enough.

```

```
Okay, slowly but surely... I've got the claw on either side of something
shiny and silver and presumably edible...

```

```
Here it comes... don't drop it... DO NOT DROP IT YOU CLUMSY DROPPER YOU

```

```
Ha! Yes! Oh my goodness, I did it! I went fishing and caught myself a
chicken pesto pasta!

```

```
Part of me wants to tear into this right now... but maybe I should keep
grabbing meal packs until I have a sizable stash.

Tunguskite Crystals

Tunguskite Crystals are valuable and mysterious small-sized rocks that are particularly desired for by the Green.

Tunguskite Crystals are first mentioned as part of the operation White Star in Lifeline: Silent Night. They form near black holes, and all that is known so far is that they glow and retain a certain energy that is unlike any other rock known. The White Star was and got plenty of Tunguskite crystals and plans to deliver them back to Earth.

[SPOILER] In Lifeline: Silent Night, Taylor uses them as explosives to prevent the infected green from grabbing hold of him.

[SPOILER] While possibly unrelated, V. Adams waking somewhere perhaps in Siberia can be a link to Lifeline: Crisis Line during an interview with Mary Jo.

[SPOILER] In Lifeline: Crisis Line, Mary Jo, a possible suspect of Jason's death, says that she was inherited plenty of Tunguskite Crystals by her grandfather. Mary Jo says that her grandfather found them alongside the native Evenks in Siberia 50 miles away after the Tunguska Event, and tunguska crystals were found as a result from that impact. The crystals were taken as the sole custody of Chancey as none of the Evenks were brave enough to take them over "supernatural" powers. Chauncey gives two of these crystals each to a geologist of the Royal Institute of England and one to a physicist in Chicago. Both end up in explosions, so Chauncey gives none to anyone else. Chauncey gives all rocks to Mary Jo, his granddaughter, as Mary Jo believes because no one else would listen to his stories even as Chauncey says he did so because she was a budding genius. Mary Jo also dismisses her grandfather as he believes him to be a believer in the supernatural, such as wizards in Portland, Oregon. (SPOILER TO A REFERENCE IN LIFELINE: 2). Mary Jo gives the crystals to Jason and his company to make enough money to provide for experimental treatment for her cancer. When Jason is killed over something else, his step-brother, Mike DeWitt, steals them. Throughout the game, the green, particularly the green-eyed woman, and Pearson Corporation are after the crystals.

[SPOILER] In Lifeline: Halfway to Infinity, the explosives Taylor made accidentally sparked a flare that resulted in making much of the ship completely on fire.
That's insane.

## Dialogue

```
It is. It absolutely is. But I'M not insane. I could not be more certain that I experienced this.

```

```
I could have believed everything up to this point was just an optical illusion.

```

```
A trick of the light. My exhausted brain putting one over on me.

```

```
But this... I was RIGHT HERE when this happened.

```

```
This was some next-level, otherworldly stuff.

```

```
Okay. O...kay. I'm just going to keep walking around the magic disappearing man-made moon mountain.

```

```
That's a normal thing people say, right?

```

```
[Taylor is Busy]

```

```
That's it, then. I've made it all the way around the peak.

```

```
No more writing on the walls, that I could find. And no more temporospatial shimmering.

```

```
(That is a sentence I never dreamed I'd be saying in my life. Even when I DID win a lottery to ride in a spaceship.)

```

```
So I'm back at the recessed area.

```

```
All right. I'm going to try not to be thoroughly unsettled by this, but I have to tell you, it's gonna be an uphill battle.

```

```
Because the recession in the peak wall?

```

```
It's a doorway.

```

```
I don't mean, like, it's a cave entrance that naturally formed in the rock, or that sort of thing.

```

```
I mean, it's a DOORWAY. With right angles and everything. At human scale. Built for someone my size.

Monastery

The monastery is an abbey where the Timeless Monks work and live. It contains the Timeless Monks' key that Arika Lanphear steals from them.

## Appearance

The monastery is a medieval Gothic abbey. One of the abbey's towers collapsed into the garth, where over many years it has developed into a huge hill of rocks and earth, with plants and trees growing out of it.

The monastery is surrounded by trees, a haphazard 'road' snaking through the trees from the monastery with a run-down apple orchard off to the side of it. The trees in the orchard are uncared for, and the apples rotted.

The 'road' leads to the gate of a long chain-link fence surrounding the monastery. The gate is "clearly" locked, with "pointy things" along the top of it.

## Description

The monastery is where the Timeless Monks work and live, the home to their deity and the key that is part of it. The monks cast a spell onto it to make it much harder to find. The spell will make people's eyes involuntarily speed up when they look at it, everything becoming a blur for a nanosecond, as if there was nothing there. This makes it nearly impossible for people to find it without actively looking for it.

## History

The monastery was constructed in 1972. Though due to it and the Timeless Monks time magic, is hundreds of years older than it should be - as Arika Lanphear points out after seeing a tree stump growing out of the garth's mound (formed by old rubble of a collapsed part of the building), with rings dating it at least a hundred years old, making the rubble, and consequently the building, even older.
Stay clear of it.

## Dialogue

```
Yeah. That's definitely the most sensible plan here.

```

```
I mean, if this were some B-grade horror/sci-fi movie, I'd be yelling at the screen for the idiot kid not to go down into the wreck.

```
I'd probably be eating popcorn, too.

```

```
I would definitely rather be eating popcorn than trying to decide whether to explore a derelict spaceship on an isolated moon.

```

```
Honestly never thought that'd be a decision I'd have to make.

```

```
But yeah. This is smart, right? Just stay up here, avoid that ship, keep heading for the peak.

Yeah. Fair enough. I mean, it'll slow me down a little, but it might be worth it in the long run.

I mean, there's a chance I could need it for something when I get to the peak...

```

```
...or -- and I'm not trying to think about this -- there's a chance that if I left it here with the caravel...

```

```
...I might make it back here, only to find the generator missing. In which case,  I'd suddenly have MUCH bigger worries.

"Comfortable." What, while she dies?

```

Look, as far as I know, she's the only other living person on this rock.

I owe her more than just a nice memory-foam pillow under her head while she bleeds out.

If there's a chance of stabilizing her, I've got to do it!

```

```
There's another med locker in the rear of the ship, by the crew quarters. I've gotta go for that one.

[Taylor is Busy]

```

```
Okay. Okay. I'm at the wreckage of the crew quarters.

And, well, this wasn't totally unexpected, but still.

I, uh... found some of the crew.

```
It's... oh, man. Hang on.

```

[Taylor is Busy]

```

```
Sorry about that. I had to go be sick behind some moon rocks.

```
So, there were a few crew members who were apparently pretty near where the Varia's hull split.

```

```
I can't... I can't tell who they were, or how many.

```

```
They're all sort of fused, to the metal or, uh, to each other.

```

```
And we, I don't know, we might've lost some crew when we lost pressure.

```

Behind the sealed door to the rear quarters, thought, I... I found the rest of the crew.

There's no way I can sleep out under the stars -- as romantic as it sounds, the temperature drop is just going to be too severe.

The only opening to the outside is the iris door on the airlock, which is just barely big enough for me to shimmy through.

Einar Blom

[SPOILER] In Lifeline: Flatline, Einar Blom is described as head of PWG. He is Swedish (indicating, like in Lifeline: Crisis Line that PWG's phone call to Jason Leder was from Sweden and that Leder was planning on heading over there with money and passports in his vault), and he says that he wants to look into Wynn's mysterious Green inhibitor and PWG has been after the Green and the Pearson Corporation for hundreds of years.
What happened? (2)

## Dialogue

```
Okay. I know. It's happened to me before out here. But never this close.

```

```
I heard the echo, bouncing off these rock walls, before I even heard the source.

```

```
And I was looking around, trying to figure out where that scuttling sound was coming from...

```

```
...and I saw this faint green glow, near the floor.

```

```
And it took a second, but then it resolved itself into.. I swear, it was a bunch of little pairs of eyes.

```

```
And as I'm trying to process that, one of... of WHATEVER they were...

```

```
...brushed against my leg.

```

```
It didn't hurt me. It just kinda bounced right off and kept running, with the rest of them, deeper into the mountain.

```

```
But... this means... I'm not alone in here.

```

```
I liked it so much better when I was alone in here.

```

### Options

* Follow those... things.
* Get out of there.

### Previous Options

* Go through the door.
* Do some more exploring.
Find out what it was.

## Dialogue

```
Are you kidding me?! Like I want to go CHASING AFTER whatever that was!

```

```
Seriously, you didn't hear it. I did, it was freaky as anything. Like, "Don't follow me into the dark" freaky.

```

```
That's the worst kind of freaky, in case you're keeping track.

```

## Options

* Seriously, go find it.
* Okay, get out of there.

## Previous Options

* Okay, get out of there.
* Risk it; keep exploring.
Keep fishing.

### Dialogue

```
Good point. With a Reachin' Stick this nice, it'd be a shame not to keep
on reachin'.

```

```
(That'll probably be the official motto of Reachin' Stick. You are witnessing
history being made, my friend!)

```

```
Carefully... annnnd... just nailed a teriyaki beef!

```

```
And just beyond that... is... ratatouille?

```

```
I have to admit, I have no idea what ratatouille is, outside of the Pixar
movie. Could this be a freeze-dried, CGI-animated rat?

```

```
I guess I'll find out.

```

## Options

* Yes. It's a CGI rat.
* It's stewed veggies, dummy.

## Previous Options

* Sure, give it a shot.

Sorrytoe1

## Dialogue

*or "Sorry about the toe. Smartass"*
youmay be looking for sorrytoe, which is identical, except for one line. If Taylor had already told you their name that one line would not show up.

```
Ha. Yeah, well. I've been told I use sarcasm as a weapon, and right now, I'm not armed with anything else.

```

```
So let's hope that if there's any sort of little green men waiting to jump out and attack me...

```

```
...they're vulnerable to ironic comments and eye-rolling.

```

```
Oh, hey, my name is Taylor, by the way. Probably should've led with that. Sorry.

```

```
Anyway. Why don't I tell you what I can see from here, maybe you can advise me on where to go.

I've got the Captain. It's funny, with her flight suit and everything, I guess...

...I don't know, I guess I just expected her to be heavier, or something.

```

```
But it's like she's just sort of... a shell, now. Like everything that made her who she was is just... gone.

```

```
I'm gonna go ahead and rig up a field stretcher with a Mylar blanket and duct tape. Easiest way to transport her.

I'll check in again when the two of us are back (once more) at the crew quarters.

Sorry about that. I had to go be sick behind some moon rocks.

```

```
So, there were a few crew members who were apparently pretty near where the Varia's hull split.

```

```
I can't... I can't tell who they were, or how many.

```

```
They're all sort of fused, to the metal or, uh, to each other.

And we, I don't know, we might've lost some crew when we lost pressure.

Look, this is nuts, but... I think the peak might actually be sort of... wavering. In, like, a existential sense.

I'll be looking at it, and then I'll blink, and for a second, it just... it won't be there.

```

And then, of course, it's there again, and I'll question my sanity.

And that's happened about a half dozen times since I got down into the crater.

Dontknow

## Dialogue

```
Why don't I know? Why don't I have this whole sector memorized, like any astronaut worth a damn would?

```

```
Because I'm a STUDENT, okay?

```

```
My number came up in a lottery of science students, and I got to join this mission.

```

```
I was on board the Varia running zero-G experiments on rats and lichens and stuff, all right?

```

```
I was never, ever meant to be without a trained supervisor by my side at any time.

```

```
So it's safe to say that this crash landing wasn't covered anywhere in my student handbook.

```

## Options

* Okay. Calm down.
* Whoa. Take it easy.

## Previous Options

Check out the computers.

```
This... this is wild.

```

```
This screen is displaying a topographical map of the area. There's some pixelation, but that's clearly what it is.

```

```
It's centered on this peak, inside the giant crater that I just walked halfway across.

```

```
But I can toggle out, and scroll. If I go... yup. There's the wreck of the caravel.

```

```
It shows up as a bright, broken brick against the dark of the moonscape.

```

```
And if I keep panning to the south... past the crater, past the canyon...

```

```
...there's the Varia. Two bright pieces, glowing back at me from the screen.

```

```
This is surreal. Where are these images even coming from? Is there some sort of satellite up there? A network of them?

```

```
I wonder how much of the moon this imaging covers? Like, if I keep scrolling, will--

```

```
Oh, my God.

```

## Options

* What? What is it?
* Are you okay?
Yup. Go for it.

I've scouted out the crater walls in scouting-out distance, and found a section with a decent amount of crags and footholds.

```

```
I guess, in the absence of nylon ropes and carabineers, a few shallow divots in the rock is as good as it's gonna get.

```

```
I mean, what's the worst that could happen? I end up sawing off my arm with a blunt Swiss Army knife like the "127 Hours" guy?

```

```
. . . Yes. That actually DOES sound like the worst that could happen.

```

```
Wish me luck?

Blue

First appears in Lifeline: Whiteout of the Lifeline Series and also appears in Lifeline: Whiteout 2. He abruptly wakes up in an inhospitable tundra environment without any knowledge of himself but manages to have a comm that can communicate with the player.

[SPOILER] In Lifeline: Whiteout, as V. Adams searches the frozen wasteland, he happens to find a dog whose breed is a Siberian Husky in a crampy kennel. He names him Blue, after the dog's eyes. Depending on the player's choices, Adams can obtain Blue and keep him as his pet for the optimal ending. They have a very mutual relationship.

[SPOILER] Blue is unable to recognize the difference between V. Adams and his brothers.
Just go to sleep.

## Dialogue

```
I'm with you. I think it'd be a waste of time, effort, and light. All of which are in pretty short supply around here. I'm bedding down instead. The ship must've been designed for a small crew. Only a single mission specialist seat up here, half-uprooted. Which, in fact, seems to be my most comfortable option as far as sleeping arrangements go around here. I figure it's time to call it a night. Only got 2 glow rods left; no sense in cracking another one now. I sealed over the airlock door, and I've got enough blankets to swaddle myself and hopefully beat the cold.

```

```
[Taylor is Busy]

```

```
Huh? Whuzzat noise? You say something? I swear I just . . . I totally just heard that weird scuttling noise again. Like from before. And I turned around in the chair, and I saw it again: Little glowing, green, moving things in the main corridor. That's just . . . I mean, I didn't ACTUALLY hear anything. Or see anything. Right? It's just my exhausted, terrified mind playing tricks on me. "Space Madness," like in that old Ren & Stimpy cartoon. Remember that? I should just . .. go back to sleep, yeah?

```

### Options

* Right. Back to sleep.
* See what that noise is.
Scout the perimeter.

## Dialogue

Okay. I'm taking off in a circle to my right. I'll look into that opening when I
get to it from the other direction.

```

```
First impressions: Like I said on day one, squinting at this thing all the way
from the Varia...

```

```
...it looks oddly geometrically perfect.

```

```
Almost like it was CARVED out of this moon's dense white rock, rather than
forming naturally through erosion and upheaval.

```

```
And yeah, I know, it sounds crazy to say that this peak looks built... but it's
not the craziest thing I've said today.

```

```
(That was supposed to sound comforting, but it sure didn't come out that way.)

HOLY CRAP.

Build something to stand on?

```
Unlike at the caravel, there's not a bunch of scrap lying around here.

```

Even those chairs I mentioned are bolted in. I've got nothing to climb on.

```

Probably just as well. With my luck, I'd have come all this way just to break my neck trying to touch the ceiling.

I'm gonna check out the computers instead.

Dig those graves.

I'm going to get the rest of the graves dug and inter the crew, which I think will be a really good thing.

```

Just to have some sense of closure, you know?

I want to come up with a few words to say over each of them. I'm gonna take a little private time while I work.

```

```
Well, that's it. Everybody's buried.

```

I guess there's nothing for it but to keep exploring this end of the ship.

```

Okay, so... past the bunks, there's a corridor that branches.

```

```
The way to the galley looks pretty scorched. The other option is the lab.

```

I'm afraid of what I'll find if I check on my rats. If the humans didn't make it, what chance do those little guys stand?

Good siren or bad siren?

It's louder than the alien screaming, so I'm gonna go ahead and say "good siren"!

Oh, my God. Finally!

ALT

ALT is a corporation featured in Lifeline: Whiteout and Lifeline: Whiteout 2 of the Lifeline Series. It is unknown in what it truly is except that it is influenced by Dr. W. Sibellius. Also, Lifeline: Whiteout main character V. Adams is associated with it.

[SPOILER] V. Adams finds several series, including the Adams Series (which includes V. Adams and brothers I. Adams, II. Adams, III. Adams, and IV. Adams), Wilson Series, Murdoch Series, and Williams Series. Adams gets to the headquarters and finds all kind of series, several hundred, all grouped by type and indicates that an arm is trying to be built. One example is the Wilson Series which is some military drone with high-caliber rounds, gyroscope stabilizers, anti-grav generator, max. speed of 60 miles per hour. It's suggested role is in combat. Another series is the Murdoch Series, which is a military android with 100x magnification, long-range recording, and night vision. It's role is in surveillance. Adams notes how these are top-of-the-line robotics, and the costs must be astronomical.

[SPOILER] In Lifeline: Whiteout, Adams learns that Sibellius is his creator and younger self, but depending on the ending, Adams escapes with his dog, Blue.

[SPOILER] In Lifeline: Whiteout 2, ALT seems to have a mineshaft controlled by it, and Adams learns that ALT is willing to murder its own people there to try to get Adams.
Arika Lanphear

Arika on the Cover of Lifeline 2: Bloodline

Arika is the main character in Lifeline 2: Bloodline in the Lifeline Series. She's a magic-user on a deadly quest to avenge her parents and rescue her long-lost brother, Rand, from the Quintessence.

Your choices will keep her alive and help her succeed as she faces mortal danger on her way to a final, fateful showdown against the forces that threaten all of humanity.

## Appearance

Arika is described by Alex Esposito as looking like a typical runaway.

## Personality

Arika is interested in and makes many pop culture references over the course of Lifeline 2: Bloodline. She often resorts to dark humor in conversation, in many ways to cope with her childhood trauma. Is saddened from her traumatic childhood but has the will do accomplish many things. Above all, she seeks to undo the wrongs in her past head on.

## History

Around ten years before the events of Lifeline 2: Bloodline, Arika watched her parents die in front of her and while trying to help, opened a portal to the Quintessence which pulled inside her younger brother, Rand. Before Arika could follow, the portal closed.

Since then, Arika has been traveling the Pacific Northwest finding and learning ways to amass enough power to rescue him and get her home back, or die trying.

She grew up in New Tenacity.

Alex Esposito finds Arika in Regina Virdi's house in Austin. A photo of her has the word MURDERER over it. Alex describes Arika as a person who looks like a typical runaway. It is almost certainly written by the Green.

The HelpBot QTC of Lifeline: Beside You In Time and Helpbot of Lifeline: Crisis Line are revealed by Taylor searching through a computer on the Celadon Ace station to have been set up by the people of Tenacity. It was led by in part someone to the name of Jerith Lanphear. It is likely that he is the father of Arika and Arika's later-lost brother, Rand, and Jerith would have been killed by the the Green by the time of Lifeline 2: Bloodline.

## Causes of death

Eaten by spider, defeated or killed by mysterious ribbon-possessing Leila, Curiosity Shop's assistant due to Arika not following rules, getting killed by monks, getting killed by the Green, and being hitchhiked by a member of the Green.

## Trivia

* Arika's name is pronounced "ARR-uh-kuh", but is commonly mispronounced as "Erica". This frustrates her, but due to it happening so often has learned to "just smile and accept it".
Maybe check the ship.

## Dialogue

```
...Really? I was so on board with the "don't go down there" plan. I really thought we had something, there.

```

```
Ugh. You really think I should check it out?

```

```
All right. Fine. But if I get serial-killed in there, it's on you. Hell, even if I'm just maimed, non serially, I'm gonna be upset.

```

Gimme just a minute to get down there.

There's some writing that isn't too legible... looks like Chinese characters? Or Japanese? There's too much paint missing to be sure.

That said, the metal isn't overly oxidized. This ship hasn't been here that long.
