“As you know, madness is like gravity...all it takes is a little push.”
― The Joker - Heath Ledger
In the treacherous heart of the Maelstrom, the courageous crew of the Invictus finds themselves on an isolated planet, surrounded by raging magnetic and gravity storms. Amidst this chaotic tempest, they stumble upon an eerie calm resembling the eye of a hurricane. In this calm they find a solitary plnet. However, the tranquility is merely an illusion, thought they sucede in finding Ashara missing parents, a desperate struggle begings to unfolds on the planet's surface.
Most of our adventurers set out to find Ashara's father, Doctor Seraphine, who you're told remains in suspended animation. He is either sick or possibly held captive by his own wife, Amelia. She relentlessly seeks to elevate science above all and disdains all worship of the "so-called Gods." Making matters worse, she has become a force of blind ambition, with her moral compass shattered by a tragic accident.
The pivotal question remains: Is redemption still within reach for Amelia?
The heroes have become trapped in a room while attempting to find Ashara's father. They must unravel a twisted web and free Doctor Seraphine… if they can.
Ashara must look within, and see things for what they really are, if she is to defeat the monster from the "Id." She will have to fight this battle alone. On the planet's surface, the lives of her companions hang in the balance. She'll have to make a sadistic choice, forced upon her by a psychopath. Her choices will play a major role in what the future will hold.
Ash, can't help but notice the persistent hum of electronics in the Invictus; there is just something different about them. Vibrant colors casting an artificial glow on faces aboard the ship. It's funny, but she gets the feeling the world itself is trying to tell her something, whispering secrets she can't quite hear. You know what, never mind. It's probably not important…DUN DUN DUUUUN!!!
Will our adventurers escape the Maelstrom, or become permanent additions?
The answer awaits in our forthcoming Starfinder adventure, Episode 10 "Sympathy For The Devil."
Note: There is no clear right or wrong choice in this epesode, just different possible outcomes you’ll have to live with.
Important To Remember: Doctor Amelia Seraphine is a master programmer and renowned creator of AI life forms, including Vicky. She believes that all the richness and complexity of the world can be reduced to a series of mathematical equations and algorithms.
Definition: The "id" is the unconscious part of our psyche that responds directly and immediately to basic urges, needs, and desires.
