Learning Digests - COMMUNICATIONS Week 7
Introduction For Learning Digests
Interrupted by a shriek from the CEO, both of you run over to investigate.
Hvarrtha
is a hellish planet, covered completely in active volcanoes.
One day you read a book about a
fairy.
As you scramble to find a way to defend yourself, the figure speaks to you in a rattling
voice: "Repent your sins, my child." Your dog walking business in New York City has been
doing well for the past few years.
You're hunting the gray demon, a creature whose M.O.
He
tells you that he saw you in a premonition while praying at the Temple of Poseidon and that
he is here to help you search for your loved ones.
It's bustling and lively, and feelings of
contentment and nostalgia wash over you.
When one of them drinks your blood, the
passion instantly runs through your veins, and your life changes forever. You haven't felt this
good in a long time.
But as the centuries drag on and you enter the modern age, people
begin to see you as a washed-up mascot, no better than the likes of those horrendous
animatronic characters from the 1980s.
As people run for the exits and alarms ring
throughout the facility, you smile, knowing that your spell has worked.
You now know what
you must do.
Those who remain live in nomadic tribes who struggle to survive in a frozen
world with limited resources available.
Since NASA is being shut down, your only options
are either to release the data immediately or to hide it.
Over the next few days, the potato plants grow to astronomical sizes — to the point
where they're destroying entire farms and houses.
Directly across from you is a line of dolls
on a shelf, all staring blankly forward.
Some of these women are plotting the complete
demise of men, who are too distracted to realize or care. A dart impales itself in your arm,
but you feel nothing.
You take a last look at what is left of the dying Earth and then shut the
bunker door as your group descends into it.
After decades of antibiotic misuse, the era of
antibiotics has effectively ended with the spread of multidrug resistant bacteria.
After doing
some research, you're surprised to discover that the language is Sumerian, the written
passages translate into ancient spells, and your father was not just a magician, but an actual
wizard.
You've been traveling for twelve years now, and you have not found a single planet
that meets the cut.
Now, despite the language barrier, you must convince them that you
mean no harm—or you will be the next meal for their tigers.
