[WP] A group of astronauts accidentally perform a sacred hand motion by pressing buttons and flipping switches on their cockpit, and their rocket travels to Heaven itself. Their launch escape system wrenches them to safety, but the rest of the vehicle crashes into an archangel.	23
[WP] The universe is a simulation. For some reason, the machine that runs it has left access terminals within the simulation. You've found out how to use one to inject your own code into the same RAM space that the universe runs on.	23
[WP] Most aliens rely on shield technology. When humans get dragged into yet another alien war, our total lack thereof was quite misleading. Turns out, magnetic-monopole-infused armor works just as well.	21
[WP] A lone engineer is stranded on an enemy planet after his military evacuates. To make their abandoned combat robots useful, High Command hastily promotes him to the rank of General to give him clearance. He must adapt his knowledge of the engineering process for military theory to succeed.	21
[WP] The Exploiters go from star system to star system, silently placing whole races into their factories and fields, encountering no resistance as all races in the galaxy have evolved to cooperate rather than compete and are totally docile. They discover humanity's savagery the hard way.	21
[WP] You're the greatest chess player in the world, but your battle with cancer is mere hours from loss. A tall, skeletal figure dressed in black robes comes for you, but you've been training for this since you were three. You challenge him, and he cracks his knuckles and laughs.	21
[WP] Magnetic shields don't stop wooden arrows.	20
[WP] When the galactic community allowed humanity into the fold, our planet was an irradiated, bombed out hellhole reeling from two centuries of constant internecine warfare and suffering. Humans, the boogeymen of the galaxy, rarely seen without a gas mask and a rifle, soon become its only hope.	20
[WP] The invasion of Venus is going horribly.	19
