PROMPT 1: SAIJO RESCUE!

There's nothing else that can be done now! The Superweapon has turned its sights on Saijo, its people, and it's Monarchy. You are tasked with evacuating the people from the planet by whatever means necessary. You can't save everyone, so it's a moral choice of do you save the Lower Classes, the many with families and the innocent, or the Higher Classes, the King himself, and those with wealth, power, and influence?

PROMPT 2: CAPTURE FENNYL!

The best way to avoid Saijo being destroyed is to prevent the Superweapon from being used in the first place. You are tasked with locating and capturing FENNYL, the Pirate Leader aboard her Pirate Fleet flagship, The Red Sun. She is wanted alive, but if there is no other option, lethal force is authorised. This is an infiltration mission. Do what you must.

PROMPT 3: LOOT THE SAIJO PALACE

Alternatively, you don't give two damns about the Superweapon, or Saijo. What you care about is getting the hell off of Saijo before it goes Boom, but not before you make yourself filthy rich first! With people evacuating the planet, the Palace, or rather, what's left of it, including its Artifacts and Crown jewels, are ripe for the taking for those daring enough to venture into the impact zone.

PROMPT 4: CONVINCE FENNYL

Why does everything have to end with violence? Your character strongly believes that they can talk some sense into Fennyl and stop this madness before it is too late. They are certainly willing to try. Your character is tasked with trying to convince Fennyl not to give the order not to fire the weapon. Given everything that's happened up to that point, that might be easier said than done...

PROMPT 5: TAKE OVER THE SUPERWEAPON!

Your character sees little reason to destroy the Superweapon, in fact, there could be massive advantages to taking it over and using it for themselves! Whether for Taldryan or other reasons, your character is tasked with taking over the Superweapon via whatever means necessary.
