You were sure you’d catch him back on Kessel, but as soon as your ship’s docking arm attached itself to the metallic planet the Angel warped to another quadrant. So frustrating!<br> [[Continue|thatswhy]]You check the readouts on your ship’s navi-computer for the hundredth time, confirming what you already know: the Atomic Angel is on Fuzonia. He won’t get away this time.<br> [[Continue|trapped]]A sudden explosion rocks your ship, sending you spiraling off course. You yank back on the ship’s controls as an alarm blares overhead. The ship straightens out and you check your scanners, fearing the worst.<br> [[Continue|theworst]] <<set $shiphp = 20>>\ <<set $ehp = 30>>\ <<set $gear = 1>>\ <<set $tor = 2>>\The worst is confirmed- you’re being attacked by a Gorlon warship!

You can’t let the Atomic Angel get away again!|antoimcangel]]You turn a dial on your control panel and send a hailing frequency to the Gorlons. The connection is established and you immediately burst into a fit of laughter as you hear a series of farting noises. You can’t help but picture an inept Gorlon officer sticking his butt against the radio transmitter and farting.<br> [[Continue|fartingfor]]Your Ship HP: $hp | Enemy Ship HP: $ehp<br> [[Attack|ack]] [[Fire Torpedo|tor]] [[Use Ship Repair Kit|repair]]You plot a course on your navi-computer and pull a lever on your control panel. The Gorlons fire their incinerator rays at your ship, but you’ve already warped to another system.<br> [[Continue|thejump]]You divert all extra power to maintaining your rear shields and make a direct course for Fuzonia. The Gorlon warship fires a series of rockets at your tiny starfighter. Your shields manage to absorb the first few attacks, but they can't stand up to the barrage of missiles being fired by the larger ship.<br> [[Continue|doing]]You take a moment to regain your composure, reminding yourself that the Gorlon language sounds like farts. You adjust your communicator to translate their hideous language and finally intelligible words blast through your speakers.<br> [[Continue|gorthrat]]Gorlon: ...refuse to comply, we will incinerate your vessel! I repeat, lower your shields and attach your craft to our ship’s docking ports. You are now a slave of the Gorlon Empire. If you refuse to comply, we will incinerate your vessel!<br> [[Do as they command|doastheycommand]] [[Tell them to shove it up their ugly alien nether regions|alienass]]You lower your shields and dock with the Gorlon warship. A whole squad of Gorlons swarms your ship and begins searching for other passengers. They bind your wrists and take you to their leader.<br> [[Continue|tothemines]]The Gorlons are furious. They want you as a slave, but destroying your ship will also satisfy them. You can see their weapon systems powering up.

You can’t let the Atomic Angel get away again!|antoimcangel]]Unfortunately, your jump was not as successful as you had hoped it would be. Your ship warps right into the center of an asteroid belt. One of the smaller chunks of rock smashes against your ship and rips open the hull. Emergency alarms blare as your ship begins to rapidly descend.<br> [[Continue|descend]]You steer the ship toward one of the larger asteroids and brace for impact. Your ship bounces across the surface of the asteroid like a stone skipping across a lake. You skid to a halt near a rocky valley and assess the damage. Long story short: your ship is totally ruined.<br> [[Ditch the ship and look for a way off this asteroid|wayoff]] [[Try to hail someone on your communicator|communicator3]]You exit the ship and begin wandering across the asteroid.<br> [[Continue|busht]]You flip the switch on your comm unit.

Good-hearted folks like me can't say nuthin' these days without getting attacked! I ain't no space-racist, friend. My old gas station attendant was a glook, and he weren't too bad a feller.

You pass bubbling fountains of crystal clear water, well-manicured shrubs, and elaborately carved marble columns. You arrive at the front steps of a huge villa, where an obese Gorlon stands waiting for you.<br> [[Continue|addrees]]Gorlon: Out of the cell, human!<br> [[Fine. If you want a show, I’ll give you a show!|ignored]] [[If you want me out of this cell you’ll have to drag me out!|ignored]] <<set $hp += 10>>\The Gorlon ignores you and grabs Movis. He shoves the whimpering man into the center of the arena. A metal door on the far side of the pit opens and a huge Shyfter steps out onto the sand. The crowd goes wild at the sight of the glittering behemoth.<br> [[Continue|moveifhgith]]The Shyfter morphs into a giant metal lion. Movis pees himself. The lion opens its mouth and shoots six darts into the terrified man’s chest. Movis lets out a yelp of pain before the darts explode, sending tiny pieces of Movis raining all over the arena. The crowd roars their approval.<br> [[Continue|movdead]]The Gorlon returns to your cell, laughing.<br> [[Continue|yanext]]Gorlon: You’re next, human. I hope you put up a better fight than that pathetic weakling.<br> [[Handor! Akorr! This is where we make our stand! Rise and fight!|arenafight]] [[I'll fight that Shyfter and win the favor of the crowd, you fart-mouthed bozo.|fartmouth]]You and your companions kill the Gorlon and charge into the arena. Your display of bravery rallies the slaves in other holding pens. They grab the rusty swords meant for their combats and charge out with you.<br> [[Continue|gorls]]Mayzon: Indeed? My source books must be faulty. I did not perceive this rude creature to be a giant walking version of human male genitalia. I must continue my research of humans if I ever escape this terrible fate.<br> [[How did you end up as a Gorlon slave?|gorlonsln]] [[Do you have an escape plan?|scapelatn]] [[Talk to someone else|talktocell]]Mayzon: My story is no different than most. The Gorlons came to my planet and enslaved my people. I alone fought back, and as punishment I am being sent to Karkus to fight in their arenas. We Fuzonians are not a race of fighters, but those Gorlon scum suckers pulled the plug on my arcade machine just as I was about to get the high score. Their villainy truly knows no bounds!<br> [[Do you have an escape plan?|scapelatn]] [[Talk to someone else|talktocell]]Mayzon: The walls of this cell are made of Starsteel. Escape from this particular prison seems highly unlikely. Perhaps an opportunity to escape will present itself when we arrive on Karkus.<br> [[How did you end up as a Gorlon slave?|gorlonsln]] [[Talk to someone else|talktocell]]Mayzon: He is a repulsive space-racist.<br> [[How did you end up as a Gorlon slave?|gorlonsln]] [[Do you have an escape plan?|scapelatn]] [[Talk to someone else|talktocell]]<<if visited("movie")>>\ Mayzon: Greetings and salutations, human.

Thrum grew irritated by their increasingly difficult commands, and so Thrum created an incinerator ray and vaporized the next Gorlon that beat him! The masters were very unhappy and so it was decided I must be put to death. The masters are very wise.<br> [[You agree with your masters that you should be killed?|agreed]] [[Why did you serve the Gorlons?|whyserve]] [[Do you think there’s any way to escape?|wayshca]] [[Talk to someone else|talktocell]]Thrum: Thrum’s family has served Gorlons for generations. It is our greatest honor to see to the needs of our Gorlon masters. I have served the Gorlons since birth. It is what I was born to do.<br> [[What did you do to anger your masters?|angerman]] [[Do you think there’s any way to escape?|wayshca]] [[Talk to someone else|talktocell]]Thrum: Escape!?

Thrum should have kept his temper in check, but Thrum was a bad Golgek.

Independent thought is frowned upon. Slaves should not think for themselves. Thought is the domain of the masters.<br> [[Why did you serve the Gorlons?|whyserve]] [[Do you think there’s any way to escape?|wayshca]] [[Talk to someone else|talktocell]]Handor: If it is my destiny to be killed in the arena, then I will make sure the road to Avernus is paved with the blood of Gorlons before I go!<br> [[How were you captured by the Gorlons?|howcop]] [[Do you think we can fight our way out of this?|doya]] [[Talk to someone else|talktocell]]Handor: I was stationed as a guard on a small red planet called Mars. Real backwater world, far on the outskirts of the galaxy. Anyway, the pencil pushers inside were doing some weird experiments with radio waves, and their signals caught the attention of the Gorlons.<br> [[Continue|thesyf]]Handor: You and me? You bet. I heard a few of the crew members talking about you before you were brought onboard. If what I hear about you is true, then I’d say there isn’t anyone else in all the universe that could pull it off if we can’t.<br> [[I like your attitude|tude]] [[How were you captured by the Gorlons?|howcop]] [[Talk to someone else|talktocell]]Thrum: Thrum, I am called! Thrum was once a loyal Gorlon servant, but he angered his masters and now is being sent to Karkus to die in the arenas. It is a pitiful fate, but much deserved.

I’m the best fighter I know, but not even I can take on an entire Gorlon armada! I killed hundreds of those fart-mouthed bozos before they finally pinned me down and led me away in chains. And now here I am.<br> [[I like your attitude|tude]] [[Do you think we can fight our way out of this?|doya]] [[Talk to someone else|talktocell]]Handor: That little Golgek is driving me bonkers with his bouncing and bopping.

My name is Volkor, and I am the warden here. From now on you are to call me "master." This little freighter is bound for the mining colonies, and you're coming with us. Once we arrive, you will be forced to dig until you become too weak to dig anymore. Once you can no longer fulfill your duties, you will be executed. Is that clear?<br> [[Eat a dog turd, Gorlon!|eatshit]] [[Yes, master.|yesmaster]]Volkor slaps you in the face. It doesn't hurt much, but you get the feeling he's not trying to physically hurt you- he's trying to humiliate you.<br> [[Do nothing|donothinge]] [[Spit in his face|spitinface]] [[Step on his toes|stepontoes]]Volkor: Very good.

Steam rises from the hot water. Slaves shuffle back and forth, carrying towels and plates of food to their masters. The Gorlons allow you to relax in one of the smaller pools while they attend to other duties.<br> [[Relax in the pool|waitinpool]]Akorr arrives a short while later and begins to wash your hair and tend to your wounds.<br> [[I am told you are my slave now.|slavenow]] [[What can you tell me about this house?|thoushe]] [[What can you tell me about the arena?|arenatell]] [[I am hungry.

Their blood is shed for our enjoyment.<br> [[Continue|enjoyy]]Akorr gives you a towel and leads you through the villa. As you’re walking down one of the hallways, you pass a room filled with billowing green gas. A machine is chugging and clanking in the corner of the room. The gas seems to be coming from that machine. A Gorlon guard standing by the door gives you the stink-eye as you pass.<br> [[Ask Akorr about the machine|machineask]] [[Keep walking|hungryf]]Akorr: I once served the House of Battoxxus with pride, but you, a lowly slave, have bested me in combat. We Gorlons are a warlike race. Weakness is not tolerated. You bested me, but I was not killed, as all defeated Gorlons should be.<br> [[Continue|besth]]Akorr: It is the greatest humiliation a Gorlon can face, to be beaten and yet continue to live. I have brought shame to the House of Battoxxus by allowing a slave to defeat me, and therefore I have been relegated to the rank of Omus: a slave of a slave.<br> [[So you must obey all of my commands?|allofmycommands]] [[What can you tell me about this house?|thoushe]] [[What can you tell me about the arena?|arenatell]] [[I am hungry.

The tales I have heard about you are indeed true. You will make a fine gladiator. Akorr, on the other hand, is no longer fit to serve me. Let it be known that Akorr, of the House of Battoxxus, has been beaten and humiliated by a mere slave!<br> [[Continue|mereslave]]Akorr: But there is money to be made in the arena, too. That is why Battoxxus and others like him have taken it upon themselves to purchase slaves, whom they train to become gladiators. It is expected that a gladiator will eventually die, but as long as trainers like Battoxxus provide gladiators to fight in the arena, they are well paid.<br> [[Continue|wellpaid]]Akorr: Battoxxus is renowned as the most famous gladiator trainer on all of Karkus- he makes sure his gladiators know how to kill and survive. That way each gladiator can live to fight across a series of days or weeks, making Battoxxus more and more money as the common folk place wagers on when and how his gladiators will die. The longer a gladiator lives, the more money Battoxxus stands to make. Training gladiators can be extremely lucrative.<br> [[I am told you are my slave now.|slavenow]] [[What can you tell me about this house?|thoushe]] [[I am hungry. Take me to the dining hall.|todininghall]]Akorr: That is a Myrrth extractor. You may have noticed that Gorlons do not wear a breathing device indoors. That is because this machine extracts the Myrrth from minerals and disperses it through the air, allowing us to breathe freely. Vents leading throughout the building carry the gas to each room. Myrrth extractors are an essential part of Gorlon survival.<br> [[Do they ever turn off?|turnoffgas]] [[What happens when you run out of minerals?|runoutof]]Akorr: It is crucial that this machine be running at all times, otherwise any Gorlon not wearing a tank would die within minutes. That is why there is always a guard posted at the door.<br> [[What happens when you run out of minerals?|runoutof]]Akorr: Battoxxus pays good money to maintain a steady supply of Myrrth. Even if our contacts stopped selling to us, we have enough Myrrth stockpiled in this facility to last us for upwards of three years.<br> [[This gives me an idea to escape.|escapeidea]] [[Do they ever turn off?|turnoffgas]]You continue on to the dining hall, where you and Akorr grab some food and head to a corner to eat alone. +2 pizza added to inventory.<br> [[Continue|lepiz]]Akorr: Escape? What are you talking about, barbarian?<br> [[We’re not going to die here, Akorr. You and me are the best fighters on this planet. Our fates are not tied to the arena.|youandme]] [[I’m talking about killing the Gorlons and leaving this wretched place.|youandme]]At that moment you spot Movis, the human slave you met on the prison ship. He looks weary from the day's training, but a wicked grin splits his face when he sees you. He rushes off, sprinting down one of the hallways.<br> [[Crap! I think he heard us. We have to stop him!|havetostop]] [[Don’t worry about him. Go find your Myrrth mask and meet me back here in 10 minutes. We’re busting out of here.|bustinouta]]You sprint after Movis and tackle him to the ground. He slips out from under your grasp, but you manage to block his path.

We should stay put and wait for another opportunity to escape.|hungryfs]]You grab a quick bite to eat before returning to the Myrrth extractor room to meet Akorr. The two of you arrive at the same time, but Battoxxus and a legion of Gorlon soldiers are there waiting for you. Movis is wringing his hands in the corner.<br> [[Continue|plannnnngi]]You and Akorr continue to the dining hall, where you’re greeted by Battoxxus and a legion of Gorlon soldiers. Movis is wringing his hands in the corner.<br> [[Continue|plannnnngi]]Battoxxus: Planning an escape, were you? I afford you a small amount of respect and this is how you repay me, barbarian? You bring great dishonor to my house. You will die in the arena tonight. Guards!

You swing the mighty blade over your head, sending a dozen aliens to Avernus with each swipe. Akorr rallies the other slaves, who begin to join in the fray.<br> [[Continue|thefray]]The slaves outnumber their masters 3 to 1, and quickly overpower the terrified guards. You spot Battoxxus attempting to escape in the commotion.<br> [[Follow him and kill him|killlxobs]] [[Forget about him, you’ve cleared a path to the entrance!

He begins to blubber and cry, begging for his life.<br> [[Kill him|kilgbac]] [[Spare him|spareghb]]You call to the slaves and urge them to follow you. You spot a group of Gorlons unloading crates of Myrrth from a ship nearby. Their eyes go wide at the sight of your slave army and they immediately ditch their posts and flee. The way to the ship is clear.<br> [[Continue|movivsfihg]]Just then Movis steps in front of the ship’s ramp. He is holding a plasma rifle, and he points it straight at your heart.<br> [[Continue|notsou]]Movis: Not so fast, friend. Them glooks promised me my freedom, and I won’t let you or anyone else take it away from me. Now ya’ll best drop them weapons and return to your cells, lest I be forced to discharge this firearm into your hearts. The masters will grant me my freedom early as a reward for my service.<br> [[Get out of the way you bumbling idiot! Battoxxus must be calling for reinforcements right now.

Prepare to die, Movis!|fightmovies]]At that moment you feel a deep rumbling. You are almost knocked off your feet by a gust of wind. You look up and see hundreds of Gorlon warships descending upon the planet. Battoxxus watches from a window nearby. You’ve wasted too much time!<br> [[Continue|totheslf]]The Gorlons surround you and the other slaves. There will be no fighting your way out of this mess. The Gorlons bind your wrists. Battoxxus approaches.<br> [[Continue|baskgj]]Battoxxus: That was very foolish, barbarian. Your little stunt lost me a lot of money, but I expect to be reimbursed tonight. Yes, I’m sending you and all of your little friends to the arena. Tonight the Gorlon Empire will witness an event not seen for a thousand generations. Tonight you will all fight Shyfters! And make no mistake: you will ALL DIE!<br> [[Go suck on an egg, bozo!|liquidshit]] [[With all due respect, you can kiss my butt, master.|liquidshit]]Battoxxus grins. Movis, who is standing nearby, begins to chuckle. Battoxxus turns to him.<br> [[Continue|disgusygh]]Battoxxus: You have served the Gorlons well, human, but you are a vile creature. A traitor to your own race! Is there nothing more dishonorable? Guards, arrest this fool. He will die with the others tonight.<br> [[Continue|arestfol]]Movis: W-what!? But I- master! It’s not fair! I helped you capture them! I thought you would grant me freedom! You can’t do this!<br> [[Continue|tothedship]]The Gorlons arrest Movis and lead you all into prison ships. An hour later you find yourselves in cages around the great arena. Movis, Akorr, and Handor share your cell. You watch as the seats above begin to fill.

But to do that, we’ll need to defeat whatever monsters they throw at us. It will not be an easy task. And right now, Battoxxus is in a foul mood.

It extracts the Myrrth from minerals and disperses it through the air, allowing us to breathe freely. Vents leading throughout the building carry the gas to each room. Myrrth extractors are an essential part of Gorlon survival.<br> [[Do they ever turn off?|turnoffgass]] [[What happens when you run out of minerals?|runoutofs]]Akorr: It is crucial that this machine be running at all times, otherwise any Gorlon not wearing a tank would die within minutes.
