<p>It's the near future, somewhere trashy and cyberpunk-ish in the Kuiper Belt.</p> <p>Chio works pretty much any job that can gain her credits, but it's her shift selling 'pink crack' to asteroid sales reps that gets her into trouble this time.</p> <p>Spotted by the cops, she takes refuge in a commerce plaza toilet cubicle, and is about to either get shot or arrested [or both], when a green, swirly thing materialises above her head and sucks her out of there.</p> <p>Next thing she knows, she's free-falling towards what she thinks might be Iceland, but is, in fact, the unmapped and unheard of Planet Gaarrr.</p> <p>Luckily, it's not death for Chio, at least not yet, as the mysterious, non-humanoid caretakers explain that this is a perilous realm and she is not the only one trying to progress.</p> <p>Can she make it back home? Or even past the 'WELCOME ALIEN' table?</p> <p>---</p> <p>This is intended as a mix of Philip K Dick, the movie 'Existenz', and Zelda: A Link To The Past, with a bit of absurdity thrown in. Hopefully it conveys at least some of that.</p> <p>---</p> <p>Updates when god returns as its own miscreation unit and drags humanity into the void-realm of the third infinite</p>
