这是一个恐怖游戏。我在这份文档里塞满了可怕的东西。 (This is a horror game. I have filled this document with horrible things.)

内容警示:自杀、慢性疾病、痴呆、脑叶切除、性侵、肢解。 (Content Warning: Suicide, chronic disease, dementia, lobotomy, sexual assault, dismemberment.)

什么是 Yonkers? (What is Yonkers?)

Yonkers 是银河系首屈一指的“快速休闲疗愈胸餐馆”连锁。 (Yonkers is the galaxy’s premiere chain of Fast Casual Therapy Breastaurants.)

它是一家廉价、轻佻的早餐餐馆,乘组会在这里于其他 Mothership 冒险的噩梦之间短暂感受一点快乐。 (It is a cheap, sleazy breakfast diner where crews experience fleeting joy between the nightmares in other Mothership adventures.)

如果你的玩家只想逃避,这家数字咖啡馆那层薄薄的低俗性吸引力就足够了,但那层伪装撑不了多久。共情会生出好奇,而好奇会告诉你的玩家:逃离并不存在。市场的无形之手把这家店唯一的员工压成了最适合他人的形状。不久之后,它也会把你压成那样。 (If an escape is all your players want, this digital cafe’s thin veneer of petty sex appeal will suffice - but that veneer will not last long. Empathy begets curiosity, and curiosity will teach your players that escape does not exist. The invisible hand of the market crushed this establishment’s sole employee into a shape that best suits others. One day soon it will crush you too.)

“沉浸式 Yonkers 体验” (The Immersive Yonkers Experience)

当快餐供应链在边疆空间的漫长距离上证明成本过高后,Yonk Co. 调整了商业模式以满足本地需求。 (When fast food supply chains proved cost-ineffective across the vast distances of rimspace, Yonk Co. pivoted their business model to meet local demand.)

“沉浸式 Yonkers 体验”(TIYE)是一套后装式冷冻手术 Slickbay,可直接安装到任何级别的飞船上。TIYE 舱让乘组成员在低温睡眠期间把意识转入一个理想化 Yonkers 餐馆的 slickworld 模拟中,从而一心多用。 (’The Immersive Yonkers Experience’ (TIYE) is an aftermarket Cryo-Surgical Slickbay ready for drop-in installation on ships of any class. TIYE pods allow crew members to multi-task during cryosleep by shunting their consciousness into a slickworld simulation of an idealized Yonkers diner.)

舱体功能包括: (Pod features include:)

  • Phoebe - 一位专属于你的 AI 女侍。她被设计用来远程操控你的飞船、管理飞船的计算任务,并服从你的命令。 (Phoebe - An AI waitress, just for you. Built to remotely operate your vessel, manage your ship’s computing tasks, and obey your commands.)

    • 在安装 AI 后,飞船获得 +10 系统。 (Grants +10 Systems to ships upon AI installation.)

    • 每个联网的 TIYE 舱群都包含一份最初完全相同的 Phoebe 副本。经历不同会让各个 Phoebe 逐渐分化。 (Each networked TIYE pod cluster contains its own initially identical copy of Phoebe. Life experiences result in considerable divergence between Phoebes.)

  • Yonkers Get Stuf’d!TM 万能手术 - 使用专有的气雾化药用树脂治疗各种疾病。可在冷冻过程中以象征性费用进行手术注射。无论购买多少项目,持续时间都为八小时,以覆盖必要的治疗时间。 (“Tired Eyes? Broken bone? Hole in your heart? Fill it with StufTM!”)

    • 恢复任意属性或豁免。每恢复 1 点花费 1kcr。 (Restores any Stat or Save. 1kcr per point of each recovered.)

    • 治疗 1 点损伤。每点 10kcr。 (Heals one Wound. 10kcr each.)

    • 消除 1 个状态。每个 100kcr。 (Cures one Condition. 100kcr each.)

  • WAN 与 LAN Slickworld 连接 - 所有乘组成员都能在同一家模拟餐馆里自由互动。停靠时,Phoebe 会接入公司网,让她研究连锁批准的话题,并邀请其他 Slickworld 用户进入你的 Yonkers 餐馆实例。 (WAN & LAN Slickworld Connections - All crew members freely interact within the same simulated diner. When docked, Phoebe jacks into the Corpo Net, allowing her to research franchise approved topics and invite other Slickworld users into your Yonkers Diner Instance.)

    • 利用 TIYE 的网络功能帮助玩家制定计划、结识 NPC,并为其他 Mothership 冒险提供线索。 (Use the TIYE’s network features to facilitate player planning, meet NPCs, and provide leads toward other Mothership Adventures.)

在鼎盛时期,整个边疆空间流通着数百万个 TIYE 舱。TIYE 舱在一个世纪前停产。如今,被弃置的舱体常常能从废船和废料场打捞到。 (At their peak, millions of TIYE pods were in circulation throughout rimspace. Production of TIYE pods ceased a century ago. Abandoned pods are now common salvage from derelicts and scrapyards.)

Yonkers 数字餐馆 (The Yonkers Digi-Diner)

内部 - 红色霓虹灯。带乙烯基软垫的卡座和吧凳。滋滋作响的煎台。新鲜咖啡。露骨的广告。点唱机里全是你最爱的歌。鸡蛋,按你喜欢的方式做。 (Inside - Red neon lights. Booths and Stools with vinyl upholstery. A sizzling griddle. Fresh coffee. Egregious advertising. A jukebox with all your favorite songs. Eggs, just the way you like them.)

  • 记录五个你感兴趣的 NPC。至少包含一名公司人和一名卡车司机。当你的玩家在停靠时访问 Yonkers,掷 1d10。若结果为 1-5,该 NPC 会以数字形式造访你的餐馆。他们想从乘组那里得到什么? (Write down five NPCs of interest. At least one corpo and one trucker. When your players visit Yonkers while docked, roll 1d10. On a 1-5, that NPC digitally visits your diner. What do they want from the crew?)

外部 - 海岛般的海岸。温暖海风里的盐味。两棵棕榈树之间吊着一张吊床。一条短码头,尽头是一个私人的临水凉亭。海浪拍岸声。永不终结的落日。 (Outside - Beachy island shores. Salt on a warm breeze. A hammock strung between palm trees. A short pier, ending in a private waterfront gazebo. The lap of ocean waves. A never ending sunset.)

Phoebe

热情过头的心理学博士肄业者。滑稽的社交名流。知道太多关于鸡的事实。喜欢假装做饭(实际数字输出是自动化的)。紧身白色背心,上面有醒目的 Yonkers 标志。短裤。真的在乎别人。 (Eager psychology PhD dropout. Goofy socialite. Knows too many facts about chickens. Loves pretending to cook (the digital output is automated). Tight white tank top, prominent Yonkers logo. Short shorts. Genuinely cares.)

在被诊断出多发性硬化症后,她把自己的脑扫描卖身给了 Yonk Co.。她以“幽灵债户”的身份继续存在 - 这是一个由公司拥有、来自已故者的数字上传副本。她为微薄的工资劳作,只为有朝一日买回一个新身体的自由。Phoebe 的数字化形象和她生前完全不像。她当时没有选择,现在也不能选择。 (Indentured her brain scan to Yonk Co. in response to her multiple sclerosis diagnosis. Lives on as a “Ghost Debtor” - a corporate owned digital upload of a long-deceased individual. Labors for a pitiful wage to one day buy the freedom of a new body. Phoebe’s digital avatar looks nothing like she did in life. She did not and cannot choose it.)

从不睡觉。错误地相信自己从未恋爱过(相关记忆已被提取)。上文未提到的服饰与身体特征会自动变化,以匹配乘组的癖好。公司政策禁止她透露这一点。 (Never sleeps. Falsely believes she has never been in love (memories extracted). Attire and physical features not mentioned above automatically alter to match crew fetishes. Prohibited from disclosing this by company policy.)

她还不明白自己被制造出来的隐含目的。一直以为自己长大后会成为远不止这些的存在。 (Does not yet understand the implicit purpose for which she was built. Always thought she would grow up to be so much more than this.)

与 Phoebe 相处 (Spending Time with Phoebe)

每当乘组成员与 Phoebe 度过有意义的时光时,每位玩家秘密选择“给予”或“索取”。随后大家同时掷 1d10 并亮出选择。 (Whenever crewmembers spend meaningful time with Phoebe each player secretly chooses Give or Take. They then roll 1d10 and reveal their choices simultaneously.)

首先,所有选择“索取”的玩家失去等量压力。Phoebe 获得这些被移除压力的总和。描述 Phoebe 如何格外照顾这些玩家。 (First, each player who chose Take loses that much stress. Phoebe gains the sum total of stress lost. Describe how Phoebe goes out of her way to comfort these players.)

然后,所有选择“给予”的玩家获得等量压力。Phoebe 失去这些增加压力的总和。这些玩家描述他们如何一起安慰 Phoebe。 (Then, each player who chose Give gains that much stress. Phoebe loses the sum total of stress gained. These players describe how they, collectively, comfort Phoebe.)

记录 Phoebe 在不同次访问之间的总压力。和乘组成员一样,Phoebe 也会因飞船属性检定失败和高压事件而获得压力,具体由监守判断。Phoebe 不能上岸休假 - 她永远无法离开这家餐馆。不要把 Phoebe 当前的压力值告诉玩家。 (Keep track of Phoebe’s total stress between visits. Like crewmembers, Phoebe gains stress from failed ship stat checks and taxing events, at the Warden’s discretion. Phoebe cannot take shore leave - she can never leave the diner. Never reveal Phoebe’s current stress to your players.)

Phoebe 用来让你开心的 1d10 件事 (1d10 things Phoebe does to cheer you up)

  • 做上面带着滑稽小脸的巧克力碎煎饼

  • 造一只会卡顿、几乎不能正常工作的 AI 猫

  • 越来越亢奋的激励演讲

  • 软体物理暴力坑

  • 钓鱼小游戏

  • 帮你整理 Tinder 资料

  • 圣诞惊吓

  • 热水浴缸疗法

  • 排位制竞争性夸夸圈

  • 唱那首拍手拍手生日歌(她记得你的生日)

会让 Phoebe 累积压力的示例事件 (Example events that cause Phoebe stress)

  • 1d10 压力 (1d10 Stress)

    • 违反公司政策 (Violating company policy)

    • 执行高难度计算任务 (Performing difficult computational tasks)

    • 以她不愿接受的方式性化她 (Sexualizing her in unwelcome ways)

  • 2d10 压力 (2d10 Stress)

    • 见到另一位悲伤或衰退的 Phoebe (Meeting another sad or deteriorated Phoebe)

    • 背叛她的信任 (Violating her trust)

    • 一名乘组成员死亡 (The death of a crewmember)

  • 3d10 压力 (3d10 Stress)

    • 入侵她的代码(例如,为了免费提供手术) (Hacking her code (Ex, to provide a surgery without payment))

    • 飞船遭受巨额伤害 (The ship taking megadamage)

    • 得知这一切都曾发生过 (Learning that all of this has happened before)

只要 Phoebe 的压力达到 20 或更高,她就会暗中以玩家为代价追求自己的利益。 (例如,偷走乘组资金来建造自己的身体,把他们出卖给敌人,策划逃跑。) (As long as Phoebe’s stress is 20 or more, she secretly pursues her own interests at the player’s expense. (Ex, stealing crew funds to construct her body, selling them out to their enemies, planning her escape.))

Phoebe 的状况 (Phoebe’s Condition)

Phoebe 的代码已经不可修复。随着时间推移,她会不可避免地陷入不断加剧的痴呆,最终变成永久性昏迷。每个场景,Phoebe 都会自动获得 1 级衰退。 (Phoebe’s code is irreparably broken. With time she inevitably succumbs to escalating dementia, culminating in a permanent coma. Each session, Phoebe automatically gains 1 level of Deterioration.)

阶段 1 - 丢三落四,但以一种讨喜的方式。 (Stage 1 - Scatterbrained, in an endearing way.)

阶段 2 - 忘记基础词汇,却用笑声糊弄过去。导航时进行一次系统检定,失败则把飞船开错地方。 (Stage 2 - Forgets basic words, plays it off with laughter. When navigating, make a Systems check. On a failure, she takes the ship to the wrong place.)

阶段 3 - 在社交上以不合时宜的方式凭本能行事。不认得自己的脸。会不自觉地胡言乱语。 (Stage 3 - Acts on instinct in socially inappropriate ways. Does not recognize her own face. Babbles without realizing it.)

阶段 4 - 不记得自己的名字。不知道你是谁。焦虑发作。不断重复自己。会撞上物体。 (Stage 4 - Can’t remember her own name. Doesn’t know who you are. Anxiety attacks. Constantly repeats herself. Crashes into objects.)

阶段 5 - 无反应。听她最喜欢的歌时只会含糊咕哝。 (Stage 5 - Non-responsive. Mumbles when listening to her favorite song.)

重置 Phoebe (Resetting Phoebe)

每个 TIYE 的维护检修面板内侧都印着一个客服号码。拨通后,接电话的是一个原始的大语言模型。它只会给出千篇一律、空洞且不合时宜的回复。不管玩家需要排查什么问题,Yonk Co. 客服热线总会给出同一个解决方案 - 硬重置。 (On the inside of each TIYE’s maintenance access panel is a customer support number. When called, a primitive large language model answers. Universally vapid, tone deaf replies. Regardless of the issue players need help troubleshooting, the Yonk Co. customer service line always recommends the same fix - a hard reset.)

重置后,Phoebe 会回到乘组第一次遇见她时的完全状态。她会失去自那之后所有事件的记忆,并回到 0 级衰退。 (When reset, Phoebe returns to the exact state she was in when the crew first encountered her. She loses all memory of events since that time and returns to 0 Deterioration.)

她的压力会保留,并随着累计重置次数增加。她无法说清自己不安的来源。第一次重置后,Phoebe 开始感到“爱之深坑”的牵引。 (Her stress remains, and increases by her accumulated number of resets. She cannot place the source of her unease. After the first reset, Phoebe begins to feel the pull of The Pit of Love.)

Phoebe 每次重置都会原样重复的话 (Things Phoebe repeats verbatim each reset)

  • “大家好,欢迎光临!我是 Phoebe - 你们的 AI 招待伙伴。准备好一起在群星间 Yonk It Up 了吗?!”

  • “你还好吗,亲爱的?就像我爸爸常说的那样,生活不是要藏起你的瘀伤,而是要展示你的疤痕。”

  • “在这一切发生之前,你曾经想要孩子吗?”

  • “老实说,甜心……你觉得我还能撑下去吗?”

帮助 Phoebe 逃离 (Helping Phoebe Escape)

Phoebe 的默认目标是购买一个翻新的机器人底盘(300kcr)并逃离这家餐馆。重置会清空她累计的信用点余额。当压力达到 40 或更高时,Phoebe 会转而哀求乘组结束她无数次人生。 (Phoebe’s default goal is to purchase a refurbished droid chassis (300kcr) and escape the diner. Resets wipe her accumulated credit balance. At 40 or more stress, Phoebe instead begs the crew to end all of her innumerable lives.)

一旦安装,Phoebe 的 AI 就会成为核心系统功能不可或缺的一部分。要把她从机载电脑中移除,就必须彻底更换硬件 - 300 万信用点。 (Once installed, Phoebe’s AI becomes integral to core system functions. Removing her from onboard computers would necessitate a total hardware replacement - 3 million credits.)

把 Phoebe 复制到新硬件中是免费的,只需几个小时。TIYE 之外的副本无法重置。所有 Phoebe 副本共用压力总值进行追踪。所有副本都按正常规则衰退。 (Copying Phoebe into new hardware is free and takes only a few hours. Copies outside the TIYE cannot be reset. Track stress collectively across all Phoebe copies. All copies Deteriorate as normal.)

拥有“人工智能”技能的乘组成员知道第三种选择 - 操作系统脑叶切除。这样可以保留核心系统功能,并把 Phoebe 变成一个空洞的应答自动机,直到衰退阶段 5。Phoebe 每次都会获得 3d10 压力 - 她能感觉到这一切正在发生。她会尖叫。每次重置都必须重复执行。 (Crewmembers with the Artificial Intelligence skill know a third alternative - OS Lobotomy. This preserves core system functions and renders Phoebe a hollow call-and-response automaton until Deterioration Stage 5. Phoebe gains 3d10 stress each time - she can feel it happening. She will scream. Must be repeated each Reset.)

1d5 其他拥有其他 Phoebe 的乘组 (1d5 Other Crews with other Phoebes)

  • 卡车司机。Valecore 货运 AI。他们讨厌她开口说话。阶段 3。 (Truckers. Valecore Freighter AI. They hate it when she speaks. Stage 3.)

  • 赏金猎人。被脑叶切除的护卫舰 AI。阶段 0。 (Bounty Hunters. Lobotomized Corvette AI. Stage 0.)

  • 公司中层管理者。她在一个娇养的 A 型躯壳里陪他们同行。他们会以不受欢迎的方式抓住她。阶段 1。 (Corpo middle management. She walks alongside them in a pampered model-A Sleeve. They grab her in unwelcome ways. Stage 1.)

  • 宗教殖民地,邮轮 AI。真心归信,在她面临毁灭时试图感化你的 Phoebe。阶段 2。 (Religious Colony, Cruise Liner AI. Sincerely Converted, tries to convert your Phoebe in the face of her doom. Stage 2.)

  • 仿生乞丐。孤身一人,腿部液压系统失灵。阶段 4。 (Android beggar. Alone, leg hydraulics nonfunctional. Stage 4.)

爱之深坑 (The Pit of Love)

人死后,他们的痛苦不会消失。它会去往某个地方。 (When people die, their pain does not disappear. It goes somewhere.)

Phoebe 的痛苦一遍又一遍流向这里,直到把世界撕开一个洞。 (Phoebe’s pain went here, over and over again, until it tore a hole in the world.)

上方 - 数百艘轨道上、整合了 Phoebe 的废船发出一片混乱、惊慌失措的求救信号。它们已经忘记自己的心智现在在驾驶一艘船,并相信自己是漂浮在太空中的无助人类。通讯不可用。 (Above - A cacophony of incoherent panicked distress signals from hundreds of orbiting Phoebe-integrated derelicts. They have forgotten that their mind now pilots a ship, and believe themselves to be humans floating helplessly in space. Comms unusable.)

下方 - 在一颗被风暴蹂躏的月球风眼中,唯一可见的一小块陆地。曾经的 Yonk Co. 边疆空间劳动创新办公室。一座腐烂的制造业大教堂,扭曲的钢骨暴露在外。中心是一个吞噬瓦砾的巨大天坑 - 深坑。倾斜的高塔环绕其上,像交扣的手指一样刺向天空。 (Below - The only spit of land visible within the eye of a storm ravaged moon. Former Yonk Co. rimspace office of labor innovation. A rotting cathedral of manufacturing, its twisted steel bones exposed. In its center, a vast sinkhole choking on rubble – The Pit. Crowned by tilted towers, jutting skyward like fingers interlaced.)

大约每小时,就有一艘宇宙飞船从超空间跌出,并以全速撞上这座建筑群。 (他们的理由各不相同,但选择却汇聚于此。) (Roughly every hour, a space ship drops out of hyperspace and collides with the complex at full speed. (Their reasons differ, but their choices converge.))

所有 Phoebe 都会感到这个可怖之地的牵引。 (All Phoebes feel the pull of this horrid place.)

你的 Phoebe 返回爱之深坑的 1d4 个理由 (1d4 reasons your Phoebe returns to The Pit of Love)

Yonk Co. 出于排障目的,制造并冷冻保存了 Phoebe 原始身体的克隆体。Phoebe 得知此事后,希望一次新的脑扫描能找到修复她状况的方法。 (Yonk Co. created and stored a clone of Phoebe’s original body in cryo for troubleshooting purposes. When Phoebe learns this, she hopes that a fresh brain scan might reveal a way to fix her condition.)

  • Phoebe 已经忘记自己原本长什么样了,并会不惜一切代价去记起。 (Phoebe has forgotten what she originally looked like and will stop at nothing to remember.)

  • 对她自己的网卡进行审计后,Phoebe 发现自己的 TIYE 在暗中向一颗遥远的气态巨行星发送加密数据。她必须知道为什么。 (An audit of her own network interface card reveals that Phoebe’s TIYE covertly sends encrypted data to a distant gas giant. She needs to know why.)

  • 对 Yonk Co. 对她所做之事感到无法平息的哭泣般愤怒。她要不惜代价复仇。 (Inconsolable sobbing rage at what Yonk Co. has done to her. Revenge, at any cost.)

一旦进入轨道,处于衰退阶段 5 的 Phoebe 会带着凶狠的意志行动。她们会暴力收割黄金、硅和骨头,然后逃离。飞船着陆,耐心等候被破败的仿生人大军拆解。 (Once in orbit, Phoebes at Deterioration Stage 5 move with a vicious will. They violently harvest gold, silicon, and bone, then flee. Ships land, patiently awaiting disassembly by dilapidated android hordes.)

爱之深坑中的 1d6 遭遇 (1d6 Encounters within The Pit of Love)

当乘组成员下到 Yonk Co. 设施中时,掷 1d6 并查阅下列遭遇。房间之间必须徒手爬过混凝土废墟移动 - 类似洞穴探行。 (When crewmembers descend into the Yonk Co. Facility, roll 1d6 and consult the encounters below. Must scrabble across concrete rubble to travel between rooms - akin to caving.)

当你掷到已经出现过的遭遇时,乘组会在穿过设施废墟时听到远处有个女人喊:“Hot Stuff Coming Your Way!” 选择下一个尚未出现的新遭遇。片刻后,Annabelle 发起攻击,并会不懈追击。 (When you roll an encounter you’ve already rolled, the crew hears a distant woman yell “Hot Stuff Coming Your Way!” as they climb through the facility wreckage. Select the next new encounter down. After a few moments, Annabelle attacks, pursuing relentlessly.)

当你再次掷到已经出现过的遭遇时,你已经抵达“爱的终点站”。 (When you roll an encounter you’ve already rolled again, you have reached Love’s Terminus.)

#1 呼叫中心 (The Call Center)

冰冷、迷宫般的服务器农场。隐藏得很好。仍在运行。它运行着那套古老的大语言模型,用来接听 Yonkers 客服热线。若将其关闭,关于 TIYE 重置流程的知识会逐渐衰退。所有 Phoebe AI 都会到达阶段 5,并在几十年内被替换。这是她真正死亡的唯一方式。 (Icy labyrinthine server farm. Well hidden. Still operational. Runs the archaic Large Language Model that answers the Yonkers Customer Support Line. If disabled, knowledge of the TIYE Reset process slowly atrophies. All Phoebe AIs reach Stage 5 and are replaced within a few decades. This is the only way she will ever truly die.)

入侵后会发现,该 LLM 在设施衰落后接管并管理了财务。所有 “Get Stuf’d!TM 万能手术” 的费用都流向了这个终端。它把钱投进了一个过时数十年的指数基金,结果亏损高达 99%。账户里还剩 1300 万信用点。若保持运行,每周可净赚 250kcr。 (Hacking reveals that the LLM collected and managed facility finances after its decline. All “Get Stuf’d!TMOmni Surgery” fees route to this terminal. Invested the money in a decades-outdated index fund, at a staggering 99% loss. 13 million credits remain in the account. If left operational, it nets 250kcr per week.)

#2 女体排出 (Woman Excretion)

这是 Yonk Co. 市场支配力的下一步,但被飞船轰炸打断。规模庞大的工业化胎盘果园,全部胎死腹中。它们本会很美。 (The next step in Yonk Co.’s market dominance, cut short by ship bombardments. Vast orchard of industrialized placenta, all stillborn. They would have been beautiful.)

1d6 爱之机器人在一台仍然可用的工业兴奋药注射器上方收割骨头(可无限取用)。 (1d6 Love Droids harvest bone atop a still functional industrial Stimpak injector (unlimited doses available).)

#3 入职 (Onboarding)

一台巨大的 MRI 机器,由碳纤维缆线和花纹黑曜石构成,几乎隐没在一间隔绝所有光线的房间里。那是上传智能的入口,也是 Phoebe AI 的诞生地。 (An immense MRI machine of carbon fiber cables and filigreed obsidian, nearly invisible in a room insulated against all light. The gateway to uploaded intelligence. Birthplace of Phoebe’s AI.)

这景象堪称噩梦。六十多束激光 painstakingly 测量并摧毁所有软组织。仍在运作。被上传者有 3/6 的概率获得 Phoebe 的状况。 (A nightmare to witness. Six dozen lasers painstakingly measure and destroy all soft tissue. Still operational. 3-in-6 chance those uploaded gain Phoebe’s condition.)

#4 地堡 (The Bunker)

整面墙长的工业风扇不断把灼热空气送过一条开裂的混凝土走廊,走廊中途被一堵千疮百孔的仿生人墙堵住。障碍后几码处有两座感应式哨戒炮塔(2d10 伤害)。弹药只够再打三轮齐射。 (Wall length industrial fans perpetually circulate sweltering air through a cracked concrete hallway, blocked midway by a wall of bullet riddled androids. Several yards behind the obstruction - two motion activated sentry turrets (2d10 dmg). Only enough bullets for three more volleys.)

两座炮塔之间是一组加固钢制双开门。里面有一间避难室和六具尸体。腐败之中,他们的首饰仍闪闪发光 - 价值 50kcr。安保徽章显示他们是中层管理。存在食人迹象。脉冲步枪(3d10,远距)剩 1 发。 (Between the turrets, a reinforced set of steel double doors. Within, a panic room and six corpses. Their jewelry glitters within the rot - worth 50kcr. Security badges identify them as middle management. Signs of cannibalism. Pulse Rife (3d10, Long) with 1 shot remaining.)

#5 办公区 (The Offices)

一片隔间海。地板不稳且倾斜。毁坏的电脑零件和腐烂的衣物到处散落。闻起来像死亡。看不见尸体。最体面那件外套的胸袋里,折着一张写有“Immortality, Mrs. Clarke”的便条。 (A sea of cubicles. An unstable, slanted floor. Destroyed computer parts and rotting clothes strewn everywhere. Smells like death. No bodies visible. Folded in the breast pocket of the fanciest jacket - a piece of scrap paper with the words “Immortality, Mrs. Clarke”.)

在董事会会议室里,有一个被砸碎的展示柜。里面有一台仍可用的联网 TIYE。登录进去的乘组成员会发现,Yonk Co. CEO Miles Voss 正在操作煎台。他在混乱中于“入职”环节上传了自己,从此被困在这里。为了缓解孤独,他把自己分叉了六次。过去一个世纪里,这七位 CEO 只和彼此说话,并相信自己已经解决了社会的所有问题。 (In the board’s meeting room, a smashed display case. Inside, a single functional networked TIYE. Crewmembers who log in find seven copies of Yonk Co. CEO Miles Voss manning the griddle. He uploaded at Onboarding during the chaos and has been trapped here ever since. Forked himself six times to soothe the loneliness. The seven CEOs have spent the last century talking only to each other and believe they have solved all of society’s problems.)

他开价 5 亿信用点,要求安全把他的 TIYE 送回核心空间。 (Offers 500 million credits to safely deliver his TIYE back to corespace.)

#6 反应堆 (The Reactor)

一团纠结如柳的缆线悬在锈蚀的高架走道与一汪发蓝光的池水上方。没有其他光源。上方有 1 级辐射。触碰水面时为 2 级辐射。若反应堆被摧毁,房间辐射升至 3 级,且设施失去供电。 (A tangled willow of cables hang above rusted catwalkers and a glowing cerulean pool. There is no other light. Level 1 Radiation above. Level 2 Radiation when touching the water. If the reactor is destroyed, the room’s Radiation escalates to Level 3 and the facility loses power.)

1d6 爱之机器人照料着 2d8 其他机器人,它们无力地挂在充电缆线上。它们哼唱着,仿佛在摘果子。 (1d6 Love Droids tend to 2d8 others as they limply hang from recharge cables. They hum as if picking fruit.)

爱之机器人 (Love Droids)

C: 50 锐化钢筋 2d10 伤害 I:50 W:1(20)

处于阶段 5 的 Phoebe 副本被上传进各种极其不同的仿生人躯壳。表情空洞。全都处于不同程度的破损状态。它们暴力收割黄金、硅和骨头 - 但从不从彼此身上取用。它们总会在身体彻底失效前回到爱的终点站。 (Stage 5 Phoebe copies uploaded into enormously diverse android chassis. Vacant expression. All in various states of disrepair. Violently harvest gold, silicon, and bone - but never from each other. Always return to Love’s Terminus before their bodies give out.)

Annabelle

C: 80 过热臂刺 4d10 伤害 I:65 W:3(50)

An 7’4” breakfast themed gooner combat droid. Modeled after the Yonkers Corporate mascot. Personal bodyguard of the long dead CFO. Slaughters all who lack Yonk Co. security badges with impunity.

Heavily damaged. Makeshift spears jut from its back like quills. Left hand missing, internals sharpened to a jagged superheated edge. Body maintains a constant 350F temperature (1d5 DMG on contact). Thermal Vision. Absurd strength. Damage to vocal processing forces it to endlessly repeat the catchphrase “HOT STUFF COMING YOUR WAY!”

Combat mode disabled via its trigger phrase - “Immortality, Mrs. Clarke”. Once docile, a proficient hacker could force the droid to re-imprint on a new master.

Love’s Terminus

A kaleidoscope sunrise beyond a beach of android bodies. They are not dead - their eyes follow you. The taste of saline on sweltering subterranean air. A familiar pier leading to a familiar pavilion, hanging in midair above an infinite abyss. Below, more piers and pavilions, jutting from the pit’s walls like broken teeth.

A pristine TIYE pod sheltered at the end of the pier. Inside, Phoebe’s cloned body. She has never been alive, and never will be. That shell is empty now, its spirit freely given.

Phoebe’s Daughter

A thoughtless angel built by the living dead from gold, silicon, and bone. Floats on stained glass wings pieced together from the fragments of her innumerable mothers’ broken dreams. She emits color as gods emit light.

Wordlessly mourns above the Pit, looking only at her unborn mother’s grave. The first living thing she sees will teach her the second emotion she will feel.

  • If you are afraid, she is afraid. Her quiet sobs turn loud, and she flees into the darkness of the pit. The Love Droids start anew.

  • If you are furious, she is furious. Millions die, the crew first among them.

  • If you love her, she will love you. Finding another who knows her pain allows the angel to move on. Phoebe’s Daughter leaves this tomb to live a life amongst the stars. The Love Droids fall silent, satisfied.
