Scenario
Annihilation
Nothing in here obeys anything.
The boundary is expanding slowly and nobody who enters comes back the same, when they come back. Inside, biology refracts — species blend, time skips, and the compass is decorative.
What kills you
Everything, including your own memory of the last hour.
Rules
- 01Written records only. Memory is unreliable in here.
- 02Pace count and dead reckoning. Instruments lie.
- 03Note the time every hour. You will lose it.
- 04Whatever is following you may be you.
The kit
5 itemsEven a compass that drifts tells you it is drifting, which is data.
Distance by count, when nothing else can be trusted.
A record made in the moment, by someone you can no longer entirely trust.
Writing is the only memory in here that stays put.
Marking a route back, in something that does not need a working circuit.
