The year is 2287. You are an interstellar outlaw and you are resting at a deserted outpost on Mars after pulling off the biggest heist in the history of our solar system. You look to your left and admire the glow that radiates from the most glorious loot in the galaxy, Andromeda Crystals, which you stole from a drilling vessel on Neptune.

In your lap sits your trusty plasma repeater rifle, which you are ready to draw at any moment, remembering the alien species that wiped out the previous inhabitants of this outpost. If only Elon knew about the carnivorous, mole-like space animals that dwelled beneath the planet’s surface. The scent of rotten human flesh still lingers in the corridors of the barely-operational space building you are in. Your space ship is in serious need of repair after taking a direct hit from a Federation plasma cannon.

Do you forage other abandoned outposts on Mars for parts, or endure a risky ride home to Earth in your damaged spaceship?

You decide to forage other abandoned outposts for parts, keeping in mind there are mole creatures lurking below the surface, listening for movement above. You make your way outside and admire the rocky, desert-like landscape. Among rocks on a distant ridge, you spot a manmade structure and start heading there stealthily, avoiding wide open spaces the creatures could easily pick up on. All of the sudden, the ground starts trembling, and in the distance you see about 50 mole-like creatures barreling toward you at incredible pace, thirsty for blood.

Do you try to fight them off with your plasma repeater rifle, or try to make it to the abandoned outpost you were already heading to?

You decide to seek refuge in the outpost up ahead. You sprint as hard as you can to the entry hatch, the mole creatures nipping at your heals as you pull your legs into the temporary safety of the outpost building. Time is now of the essence as mole creatures are known to be able to chew through metal walls within minutes. You can hear them scowling and banging all over the building as you stumble upon a rift portal generator. This device teleports you back to a preset desired location, but you have no idea where it will be since the previous owner is now dead.

As the mole creatures naw through the wall, you must choose between teleporting to an unknown location, where you could potentially be locked up for the rest of your life for the heist you committed, or die at the jaws of mole creatures on Mars.

The choice is obvious. You hit the button and are immediately taken out of the reality you were in and shot through a tunnel of light and colors. Within seconds, you feel yourself sitting, but your ears are ringing and you can’t see because your eyes have not adjusted to the light. As you regain your senses, you begin to realize that you are alone on a beautiful, white beach, with crashing blue waves. You don’t know where you are, but you somehow know that this is where you can live out your days in happiness.
