Lawki Apocalypse Activity
moon orbiting Jupiter. The new-and-improved warp drive gets you there in
two weeks; however, radio signals still move at light speed so they take
about 20 years to reach earth from the ship. Through a series of unfortunate
events you have been stranded. The ship is mostly intact, but your food and
water supplies have been contaminated. The ships main power core has
also been destroyed, but the solar batteries generate limited energy in
small spurts to run food synthesis and water purifying devices. You can
breathe Xenons air. Xenon has an intelligent indigenous species. What do
you do?
Plan
An electro-magnetic pulse (EMP) has taken out the worlds power grid. It has
also destroyed any machine or device that was operating at the time the
pulse occurred. This includes cell phones, computers, cars, airplanes, etc.
The lingering atmospheric electro-magnetic means there is no way to
restore electrical power. Here in PT, you experienced no climate change, but
you have no access to any electronics or devices that were on when the
EMP hit. You are in PTHS when this happened and there were no casualties.
What do you do?

healthy here in PT, however youve noticed that one of your group members
has been sniffling and coughing. Now you must live with the circumstances
left by this pandemic. What do you do?
