Into The Bomb
the ‘Detonation switch’.
Zenusian Separatists have seized control of the
Zenusian Embassy and set a Voltage Bomb to
explode. Can the heroes sneak in and defuse it?
To reach the bomb the heroes will have to get past
• Remote sentry drones with tremor senses and
ray-guns
• Separatist patrols - sneak past, or fight?
• The computerised locks are sealed, can the
heroes hack them?
Once past the separatists the heroes reach the
bomb. It’s a metallic sphere, covered in circuitry,
and has an ominous timer which is counting down
from 15 minutes. When the heroes interact with
the bomb a small aperture opens. There’s a bright
flash of light and the heroes vanish!
Into the Bomb
The heroes reappear inside a vast, dark space,
standing on a neon highway. More highways
spread out above and below them. Glowing pods
zoom along these at super speeds, sometimes
alone, sometimes formed into chains. Close by is
what looks like a checkpoint. A sign proclaims it
to be a ‘Logic Gate’. Suddenly an artificial voice
announces “14 minutes to detonation”. The
heroes are inside the bomb!
Travelling the Neon Highways
A map on the logic gate identifies key parts of a
computer, and most importantly, somwhere called
The heroes can move around by commandeering
the trains of coloured pods. At each logic gate they
need to choose a train that can pass by meeting all
the conditions of the gate.
Gate 1
Condition 1: Red OR Blue
Condition 2: Blue AND Green
Gate 2
Condition 1: Yellow AND Blue
Condition 2: Yellow AND White
Condition 3: White NOT Red
Gate 3
Condition 1:Blue NOT Red
Condition 2:Green NOT Yellow
Condition 3:White AND Blue
Encounters between the gates might be:
• Virus swarms - like electronic midges these
get into any electronics the heroes have with
them, frying circuits and causing malfunctions
• Security programs -these appear as giant
robots -halting suspicious traffic and
demanding travel papers.
The Detonation Switch
When the heroes reach the Detonation Switch they
are confronted by a wall of fire (A firewall) and
three control programs, each with a special attack.
One freezes the heroes, one corrupts them so they
can no longer control themselves, and one traps
them in a loop, so they are forced to repeat their
previous action again and again.
Once the control programs are defeated and the
firewall crossed the heroes can cancel the bomb’s
countdown. When they do that, there’s a whirring
noise, a sudden flash of white light, and the heroes
are returned to the embassy, and find themselves
standing in front of a now defused bomb.
