Welcome, adventurer! You stand at the crossroads of infinite possibilities. 

What kind of world do you wish to explore? Or is there a specific place you'd like to visit first?



## 2 | Mars

You stand on the rust-colored Martian surface. The colonial dome of New Armstrong glimmers in the distance. A mining outpost sits to your west. An abandoned research station looms eastward.

Where would you like to go?



## 3 | something funny happens

A small Martian dust devil suddenly whirls past you, picking up your emergency rations and scattering them everywhere. A metallic *clank* echoes as something lands nearby - it's a dented food canister with "*PROPERTY OF NEW ARMSTRONG CAFETERIA*" stamped on it.

From the colony's direction, you hear a faint amplified voice: "*Has anyone seen our missing Tuesday meatloaf?*"

What do you do?
