[WP] The true purpose of the giant optical telescopes was made apparent when the equally giant laser beams leapt from them to the heavens. At first people were confused, but then they saw the explosions as once-invisible flying structures were cored through or cut to ribbons.	3
[SP] The sleep walking wizard finally wakes up.	3
[WP] Just as good people need evil in the world by which to measure themselves, monsters need the humanoid species to challenge them. "The Dark Lord" knows this best of all because he is also "The Chosen One", he just provides leadership to those who need it with the kind of leadership they need.	3
[WP] During a seafloor mapping pass in the pacific an interesting discovery is made: a Renaissance style mansion. It is perfectly preserved under meters of sediment amounting to thousands of years of accumulation.	3
[WP] The deepest secret of the universe has been discovered, and it's soooo dumb.	3

[WP] All universes are in fact simulations running in a greater "Simulation Space", but it turns out the Simulation Space is less than perfectly secure. Hackers, scientists, and engineers are tasked with learning everything possible about the Simulation Space and whether escape is possible.	3

[WP] After the blaster's power cell finally ran out the soldier knew the facility was lost and activated the self destruct as ordered. After the illusion ended, the young prince enthused to the wizard that it was the most amazing illusion he'd ever seen. "Yes" the ancient wizard responded, "it was."	3
[WP] By some quirk of evolution, the more cronenberian-horror a species looks, the more gentle and pacifistic they actually tend to be. The more symmetrical they are, the more horrifically disturbing their minds and actions. When we first join the galactic community, there is panic on all sides.	2
