[WP] It turns out that humans are the only intelligent species to develop ranged weapons earlier than laser and plasma. As a direct result, nobody expected how poorly a subjugation would go against them despite them having not even mastered the steam engine.	7
[WP] Awareness and control only returns when a new chapter begins. All other moments are automatic and outside of your control. The decisions you made that got you to this point drives you mad since they are so out of character.	7
[WP] So, the Event Horizon shield works. However, it produces a much sharper gravity shear outside than intended. The problem we have now is the hundreds of meters of compacted ship ruins that now fully cover our shield and we don't have the power to run the shields forever.	6
[WP] Even after defeating the Dark Lord, they still hunt you. After all, why would a monster turn against it's master? If only they understood that even a monstrous thrall can recognize true evil and resist.	6
[SP] Programmable magic leads to the singularity, not runaway AI.	6
[WP] It turns out the earth is a flat disc after all! It's just that an intense non-gravitational space warp at the south pole has folded the edges all together into a single location. Now that its true nature has been discovered, it's time to send a research expedition.	6
[WP] Aliens think that humans have the keenest sense of smell in the galaxy, but in fact aliens just stink like hell. Acetone, rotten eggs, ammonia, cadaverine or putrescine, you name it they got it.	6
[WP] Decades after the last child was born, aliens come to Earth. They apologize that a new subspace tunnel was leaking subquantum radiation that was preventing human zygotes from dividing. The tunnel has now been closed off and the ambient radiation should disperse within a few decades.	6
[WP] When the sorcerer cast the awakening spell on his long-time raven familiar, his intent was to raise it's intelligence to be equal to his own. He certainly didn't expect it to claim to be the reincarnation of someone from a distant land called 'Urf', or how insufferable it would become.	6
[WP] When people are sincere and selfless, they can surrender years of their life to lengthen someone else's and equal amount. The donor physically ages and the recipient gets younger. After waking as a teenager again, you are unable to find who donated or why.	6
