## The Setting

*People say that the being who created all things ripped themselves into atoms only to give the dark void of space life. They say they plucked their own eyes from their heads and gave it to the universe to make stars, they tore their skin off so the universe could use it to make planets. They drained themselves of their blood, which flowed into water to make sure life could grow. Their sacrifice made the universe so overwhelmingly happy, that the once dark void burst into color and light. Swirls of reds, purples, greens, yellows, flowed throughout the galaxy like paint in water. The vast, and now colorful sea, stretched endlessly out and it brimmed with life. And after years of pondering, and living, those creatures that lived on those planets found ways to connect with one another. They met, and told stories, and laughed and cried about the sacrifice of this being. They named the galaxy that connected all of them: The Atomless.*

This is a homebrewed setting created by Matthew Ekberg, the SG of this adventure.

## The Story So Far

### The Story beings in the Aesir solar system

*(EP 1 Spoilers)* Ayg, Azhaam and Theriac all receive word of a job posting on a ship heading towards the renowned amusement park and attraction, Leviathan's Eye. The crew each find themselves in need of work, with Ayg finding herself specifically in need of a type of beverage only sold on Leviathan's Eye, Theriac curious to study a strange life form reported to be there, and Azhaam in search of a souvenir snow globe. And so all three accept the job offer. Meeting at the Patchwork, a ship quite literally befitting its name being patched together from many spare parts. It's Captain, Scrap, another Ysoki, and Skye the Mechanic welcome the new-hires set sail to the Leviathan's Eye to obtain a new drift core for their ship.

Upon arrival the crew see that the entire floating attraction has been crashed into, and is now dark. Making their way inside, while Scrap pulls the Patchwork around for their getaway, the crew discovers a terrifying sight. The people who were present at the time of the crash are trapped inside by a safety protocol system, and have been turned to zombies by the slug-like creatures Theriac came to study. In addition to the drift core they needed, they discovered a series of crystals glowing and humming. Skye procured the drift core, Theriac took two of the slugs, and Ayg pulled one crystal free. At which time, all safety and security systems opened.

*(EP 2+3 Spoilers)* The Patchwork crew fought their way through the zombified slugs, and successfully escaped. They brought the crystal and slugs back to VA-11 to do some quick shopping, restock, and head back out into space. While there, Ayg initially intended to separate from the group, however, the Buri Mining team left for Saga without her and so she returned to the Patchwork. While traveling, Theriac introduced the crew to a video game called Y-NET, a civilization inspired game. Skye and Azhaam played, while Ayg nudged the system AI to help Skye cheat. Theriac took notes.

*(EP 4+5 Spoilers)* On Saga, the crew was able to sell most of the goods they liberated from Leviathan's Eye to a Lasunta Weapon seller named Pill (she/they), with the exception of the slugs and crystal. While doing so, Pill requested the crew's help slowing the construction of a new plate over the lower decks, and directed them to meet T0-M11 (They/Them), an android and leader of a small resistance. The plan presented to the crew was for them to participate in a scrap race, for which the prize is 100k credits. The money, plus the fact that winning would impress Track, a member of Void, might help aid the resistance in their efforts to destroy the new plate. Theriac sees mention of Wild Times in a local newspaper and expresses an urgent need to return to work.

*(EP 6 Spoilers)* The race, referred to by Skye as a "death race", turned out to be very accurately described. Azhaam, having discussed the plan with his old friend and current Void member Hive, discovered that the race was rigged to prevent any non-Void members from winning. Ayg and Skye took to the track in Skye's newest creation, a sick motorbike with a sidecar. Midway through, Skye separated to distract the other drivers and the Lawmen, and Theriac and Azhaam diffused the bomb that threatened the crew and dispatched some Void members, ultimately allowing Ayg to cross the finish line alive.

*(EP 7 Spoilers)* Following the race, Azhaam went off in search of Skye, who was laying low in Hive's safehouse, while Theriac and Ayg went to the upper decks to retrieve the winnings from someone named "School", who turned out to be a massive AI in control of Waymorth's School for the Young and Gifted. Skye and Azhaam connected over their relationship with injustice, the Void, Heth, and some secrets were shared. Reluctantly, School delivered the credits, but revealed that Theriac and Azhaam's crime and the race as a whole was captured on it's hard drive. However, it was noted that at this time, School is unable to connect with any Void members off Saga.

*(EP 8 Spoilers)* In panic, the crew returned to the Patchwork and took off planet, realizing too late that they forgot to deliver the money to T0-M11. After much debate, a decision was made to make a stop on the way to Idun at a gas station comedy club called "Helium" to wire back the credits, and then move as quickly as possible to Wild Times. While Ayg, Skye, and Azhaam made the transfer (and enjoyed Skye's tight 5 set), Theriac spent some time praying to the Cultivator back on the Patchwork, realizing too late that while they were gone, the crystal and many other effects had been stolen from the ship.
