Eclipse Phase “Think Before Asking” Chapter 8: Exit Strategy

Описание: With a Reaper morph guarding the reactor and lethal radiation between them and the fail-safe, the sentinels are forced to admit that brute force won’t save Fornjot—or anyone on it. As the truth about the “oracle” crystallizes and the scale of the disaster becomes clear, Vector, Nila, and Maxine weigh personal ethics against Firewall’s priorities, debating how much they can salvage, who they can take with them, and what it really means to “secure” a threat you can’t destroy. Their only way forward may be to cut their losses, pocket the egos and intel they can, and walk away from a problem that might be too big for three people with guns and good intentions.

About the Chronicle

Think Before Asking is an Eclipse Phase scenario (originally written by Anders Sandberg and adapted to second edition) run on the scum swarm Failance Recourse, a tangled mass of salvaged habitats drifting around Saturn. In this story, the player characters are Firewall sentinels embedded in a lawless, reputation-based society full of experimental morphs, illicit tech, and fringe philosophy.

Firewall suspects that a quantum-triggered antimatter device—capable of being detonated instantly from anywhere, by someone who can never be traced—has been smuggled into or through the swarm. The chronicle follows Vector, Nila, and Maxine as they navigate scum politics, shady pilots, and fragile social networks, trying to locate the weapon, understand who built it, and decide what to do with something too dangerous for anyone to own. It’s a mix of investigation, social engineering, and transhuman horror, steeped in Eclipse Phase’s trademark questions about identity, power, and how far you go to stop an existential threat.
