Section 5 - Adaptive Altruism

In 2222, humanity lives in the aftermath of galaxy wide war that caused much damage to Earth and Mars with antimatter weaponry. Section 5 of the peace treaty has the participants police themselves from antimatter weapons and each other to prevent another Day of Fire. A group called Section 5 are a deniable ops unit working to do this. 2 agents are on Asgard, an independent O'Neil cylinder in Martian space.

Our protagonists get a new assignment. A person at a software development conference is shopping around for experts on Adaptive Algorithms. The group believes he is trying to develop an "AI" cyber weapon. Their mission is to find out what he is doing, and if they need to do something about him...

Section 5 is a space opera espionage game based on FIST, protecting the space and humanity from exterminating themselves.

Section 5 is available at Reizor's itch.io page, and she can also be found at [insert quest here].

Red Markets - 10K Lakes - Sign o the Times Part 2

Sign o' the times, mess with your mind
Hurry before it's too late
Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
We'll call him Nate, if it's a boy...

Oh, oh, oh, why me?
A sign o' the times every time that I speak...
Call me when you want, call me when you need
Call me in the morning, I'll be on the way
Call me when you want, call me when you need
Call me out by your name, I'll be on the way like...

NRG, Longshot, and Taxey have made it to Paisley Park. It will take everything they have to get the Prince memorabilia, songs, and motorcycle. Is it enough? Is it ever enough? Do they have a future, or is it theirs to die in the 10K Lakes?

Thank you for listening to 10K over the years. We hope this was a fitting end. Special thanks to our friends over at Role Playing Public Radio, The Drunk and the Ugly, The Roleplaying Exchange, and insert quest here for joining us in this campaign.
