New Horizons Central

New Horizons Central is the core of New Horizons, a Subcontinent located in Northern Zindra. It consists of 6 sims:

* Horizons A1
* Horizons A2
* Horizons A3
* Horizons A4
* Horizons A5
* Horizons A6.

It is designed as the core of a space-themed roleplay area.

There is also a game playing here. You can chose to *play* or *explore*. The starting point should be inside *Horizons A1*, a sim that also works as an infohub. If you decide to play, for completing certain parts you can also get gifts.

## Horizons A1

This is the sim where the story starts. It starts on a space-age platform, which is continued with a road. From here, if you go South, you have the option to chose: see the background story or play tutorials. Just down the path, there are two screens that provide links to the background story and to horizons experience tutorial (the videos can be accessed through these links if you cannot play media in your viewer).

After that, the path goes down towards a larger square. There, you have three options:

1. Left: the prize station where, if you have completed the quests, you can step inside one of the cabins to get a prize.
2. Right: there are stargate-like portals, each one displaying one of the five quests you have to complete.
3. Forward: horizons entrance, where the adventure starts. Pass through to enter quest 1 inside *Horizons A3'.*

## Horizons A2

**Mission:** Quest 1:the canyon. *Robots have taken the missing key card to activate the Access Terminal. Can you chase down the robots, get the key card, and activate the Access Terminal before the time runs out? The robots with yellow lights are the ones that currently have the key card. Get close and touch them to get the key card. Be careful! Dr Talpa has laid plenty of traps to hinder you!*

The action takes place in a desert canyon. Water is toxic, try not to touch it. There are boulders falling. The robots are not dangerous but once you have found the card dangerous machinery will come in and try to kill you. If you die, you will be teleported back to a portal close to the entrance.

**Geography.** Entrance is in North, where the reviving portal is also located (where you will be teleported if you die). The area looks like a desert canyon with stone walls and with brown ground texture. Robots are roaming wverywhere. Be careful of poisonous beetles, they are small robots that can chase you. There are many things that can kill in the desert. Boulders fall from the cliffs and there are many unseen dangers.

Once you got the card, you need to reach the access terminal, which is located over the river, at the South end, close to a cave. To do so, the only place to cross the river is to left, at its spring. After completing the quest, you can enter Horizons A4.

## Horizons A3

**Mission:** Quest 2: the mines of doom. *Venture through the mines to find various electronic components to get the parts needed to power up one of the electrical circuit boards located towards the end of the mines. Most of the components are the wrong size or model, or have been damaged, so keep looking for the few good ones. Be careful as the mines are unstable and anything can happen! Once the circuit is powered up, activate the Access Terminal to complete the quest.*

**Geography:** Action takes place in underground caverns, Caves & Mines. The health portal (where you are brought back to life if you die) is at the entrance. The caverns are very tricky. There are lots of electronic devices along the way, be sure to click and collect all, as not all will match.

Along the dangers involved, there are falling boulders and slicers (that will activate if you get too close). Be careful with spiders and some bridges! The way out is tricky and there are many large caverns, narrow tunnels and slicers along the way. The exit is to South. There are also large pipes that act as suckers and might suck you in.

The components must be taken to a circuit board that is inside a big cavern with a long bridge. From there, the tunnels lead to an access terminal and from there into the next quest, inside Horizons A4.

## Horizons A4

**Mission:** Quest 3: attack of the killer robots. *Kill 10 robots and then collect their mechanical parts, then report to the Access Terminal to complete the quest. Watch out for traps! How to Shoot: To shoot you need to enter mouselook. Press "M" to enter mouselook. Left click on your mouse to shoot. Game settings: For the best gaming experience in this quest go to: "ME" - "Preferences" - "Move/View" - and tick "Show me in mouselook".*

**Geography:** Action takes place inside a sim with vegetation. It is less likely to get lost here. There is some sort of a metal road showing the path. There are big trees. It seems easier than previous tasks. The exit is to North and leads directly into the next sim, Horizons A5.

## Horizons A5

**Mission:** Quest 4: the deadly swamp. *Locate Dr Talpa’s Tablet of terror! It was last seen somewhere in the swamp. Dr Talpa’s pet Fluffy has taken residence here, so watch out! Once the tablet is found, enter the secret passcode into the Access Terminal to activate it and complete the quest.*

**Geography:** The entrance is a ramp from sci-fi movies. That is where you will be teleported if you die. Be careful not to touch the water, it is deadly. There are a lot of debris, especially pieces of metal, spread all over the swamp, which you have to walk on from a boulder to another. All is very tricky especially that you have a limited time. And like if this is not dangerous enough, there are many robot snakes that would like to kill you on the way.

The place, although extremely dangerous, is well themed and well designed. The exit way is to North, towards Horizons A6.

## Horizons A6

**Mission:** Quest 5: the command center. *Tyrah is being held captive in the Command Center. She is locked in a room with a broken teleporter. Can you activate the computer to enable the teleporter so she can escape? Break into the Command Center, but remember to stay undetected, or who knows what may happen!*

**Geography:** Here, the reviving portal is at the entrance. First task is to get past the laser alarms without being detected. This takes patience and luck. Second room is where screens show random numbers and you need to match your access code. The third room is a maze where walls rise and fall and where alpha security robots roam. The maze is a very tricky place to go through.

At the end of the maze, you will find Tyrah and help her escape. With this, you can earn a prize.
