Permalink

The city-ship of Atlantis is two days into its return journey to Pegasus Galaxy, flying through hyperspace at full power, when something anomalous starts to happen.

"Ugh, guys, something's not right."

"What something? Hyperdrive readings nominal."

Permalink

"It's not the drive, it's something... around us."

Permalink

"Huh. Something weird in hyperspace, Zelenka, run –"

Permalink

The whole city shakes as the tunnel around it destabilizes, dozens of alarms go on at once.

Permalink

"Agh, damn, dropping out of hyperspace now!"

Permalink

Atlantis falls out of hyperspace window over a planet. Not in orbit, rather, rapidly falling down.

Permalink

"McKay! We're falling, no way I can get orbit. Get me a landing site!"

Permalink

"Scanning the planet now, gimme a moment."

The planet has an Earth-like distribution of landmasses, with five main continents and vast oceans between them. It has ice at the poles and deserts near the equator, showing a wide range of climates.

The unlit part doesn't seem to have any artificial light visible.

Permalink

They continent they're currently descending towards has deciduous forests and high mountain ranges. At the center of it there is a vast lake, relatively shallow for its surface area.

To the north of it it's possible to see more forests and plains and, in the distance, the shimmering of some kind of barrier covering miles and miles of territory.

"We're missing the oceans, but there's a lake we can land on!"

Permalink

"Okay, aiming for the lake, can't be harder than the bay, right?"

Permalink

As Atlantis plummets through the atmosphere, anyone on the planet can observe a large fireball streaking across the sky, passing over the ocean and heading towards the middle of the continent.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. The ANOMALY shall be RELOCATED to the TECHNOLOGICAL CONTAINMENT BUBBLE.

Permalink

Oh, come on, it's going to be good!

Permalink

The FACT that you are POSITIVE about the ANOMALY confirms my DECISION.

Permalink

If you bubble them they're going to try and activate the Stargate, and while I would be delighted to watch the ensuing explosion, I prefer Golarion to keep working as a containment vessel for Rovagug.

The HUMANS aboard the ANOMALY are not SPELLCASTERS, they can't cast GATE.

I have CHECKED.

Desna, dear, back me up? Look at that ring of metal over there, I think you'll like it.

Permalink

Oooooh, shiny! That is a loooong range! Too bad it needs another copy of the artifact at the other end, but still, it's so sparkly!

She would be delighted to meet the people who created it!

Otolmens dear, Nethys is right on this one. See that artifact? It would be really bad if it got activated while inside the Numeria Bubble.

(No, you really wouldn't like them.)

Permalink

I'm going to KEEP AN EYE on them then. If this goes BADLY as is my PREDICTION then I will consider you BOTH RESPONSIBLE.

Should Lastwall evacuate?

No.

Should Lastwall investigate the event?

Yes.

Should the people investigating be at least fifth circle?

Yes.

Should the people investigating be at least seventh circle?

Unclear.

Should we expect this event to worsen our situation?

No.

Should we coordinate with other Worldwound Treaty signatories?

Unclear.

Uh, it seems like it's going to land near Lastwall.

She Scries and Messages her contact in Vigil asking if they're already on it.
