After the Armature Incident, the world of Memetia was facing peril. Most of the wildlife and vegetation was mutated or destroyed by bombing of the surface. Those who remain have either made remote settlements ore struggle under the regime of an oppressive alien force.
There have been rumors that some of the veterans that lived through the incident at the source have appeared after nearly fifty years thinking they all died. They may be allies, but they may have been what caused this whole incident...
FOR THOSE WHO PLAYED PART 1: You can insert the original character sheet as an application, and you will receive the gear you kept at the end and be placed in a unique situation.
FOR THOSE WHO JUST STARTED: Don't worry, you can still start here, and you will be able to play the story from this point.
Character Sheet Name: Athlete: Mind: Body: Race: Origin:
(Stats cannot go below 1. But still, prepare for... Unforseen consequences.)
Name: Kinda self-explanatory.
Athlete: Speed and Endurance. Some things can only be avoided by straight running.
Body: Strength and Overall Endurance
Mind: Intelligence and Charisma. What's a good game without a puzzle?
Race: What part of Memetia you Hail from.
Cheezburgian: The most well-liked of anyone. Also, runs faster than average, and has gained more strength than before the Incident from forced labor in the Collective cities in Memetia. Body 6, Athlete 5, Mind 7
Chanian: Generally hated and stupid, they bulk up to Hulkish levels to compensate. They, however, have gotten a little brighter in the need of the epic wasteland that is now their home. Body 8, Athlete 6, Mind 5
Youtubian: In the 50 years, the Youtubains had to fix their cybernetic implants that have been broken since the invasion. This makes their bodies lighter, allowing for an easier time with athletics. Body 6, Athlete 4, Mind 9
Trollix: A more rebellious type of the aliens, they invaded Critizuela, wiping them all out. They decided that this would be a prime opportunity to break off from their oppressors. Body 6, Athlete 6, Mind 6
Origin: Determines stat modifications and the start of the character's story.
Laborer: An oppressed people who were forced to work in the Collective work camps. It's mind-numbing work, but it makes muscles strong. +2 body, -2 Mind.
Vansibane: Hermits that study the secrets of magic. Intense meditation makes them a little atrophied, but they can have a much more well-developed mind than normal. -1 Body, -2 Athlete, +3 Mind
Colonist: People who live in colonies other than the Collective cities. Stat-wise, they don't lose or gain anything.

Survivor (VETERAN ONLY): Those who survived the Armature incident. The class for anyone who is re-using a character from Part 1. Keeps the same stats and equipment as they left with.

You see a few specters of the realm of tye-dye advancing on the town! They are carrying some people out and some construction equipment in.

You draw the boat! It floats on the lava, not being melted by the extrmeme heat involved.
That wouldn't be a good idea since you're really tired after unplugging that spring and saving those prisoners.
You wake up the next morning! You tell Garm, Garth and Chekhov to get equipped and a couple of Scouts to gear up for Soldier duties while you scout out the base.
It appears that this base has done something new. The "tentacles" of the squid have folded out to reveal solar paneling. It seems that they are building a permanent wall, but it is incomplete. The wall also has holes in it-wait, these guys conquered the galaxy?

"Oh crap, it's Marcus. quick, throw down a smoke bomb, it kills their lungs!"
They throw down a smoke bomb, and- hey! It's really cold! You take a breath of the cold front ahead of the smoke and simply wait it out. The cold air keeps your naturally hot insides from turning into haggis. The smoke clears, and the tye-dye is gone.

Insert "I'm on a boat" joke here.
The boat leads to...not the area resembling Himiko's chambers we were expecting! Instead, there's several little piles of dry twigs in little inlets in the wall next to some doors.

You can actually use brush techniques based off of pictures. These, however, have no combat value, so you're better off using real weapons to kill stuff.
Befitting a temple of fire, there are simple drawings of fire along the walls.

With your monocle on, you can tell where the anomalies should have been. There also seems to be a form of footprint where the shades were moving...
With the monocle on, you see your beautiful city of neon and lots of money flowing out of pockets from around Cheezburgia, suprisingly undamaged since the bombs fell. With the lens off, you see the ruins of a very quaint town that never hurt anyone.

You draw the fire on the twigs, but it only opens one door. Once again, the room is quite dark.

Unfortunately, you doubt conventional arms can really do damage. You think that you need to find some sort of database that might know about that. Perhaps that one base-squid-thing could have one. There was a Digital Library in your old hometown, but you can't interact with it right now.
