[WP] By 1919, the Western Allies had access to German naval records to find the fates of lost ships. Gradually, however, a pattern began emerging of ships from either side being sunk without enemy or friendly fire. The last radio transmissions were screams for help, seeing something in the water.	12
[WP] You work night security for one of the few companies that can legally arm corporate security, and with automatic weapons, too. It's a tight ship and a higher pressure job than you expected, but as you inspect a delivery one midnight it occurs to you that you have no idea what this company does.	12
[WP] "You have all signed your waivers, but I must make one more appeal. Step through this, and there is no help. The Army sent 2 missions in and both suffered more casualties than the entire missing. I cant stop you from searching for your loved ones, but if you have anyone left to live for, stay."	11
[WP] An exoplanet drifts through the solar system, closer than any past extrasolar body. NASA wants to reroute the Mars mission to land on it. You are desperately trying to convince them not to, but they don't take "I've had recurring nightmares about this specific thing since I was 5" as evidence.	11
[WP] As a Star Marshall, you handle shape-shifting infiltrator aliens. You’d think the worst part of the job is the bodies and blood in zero G. It’s not. It’s the look on the crews’ face as they realize this thing in front of them isnt their teammate/mentor/lover anymore. It’s just a hungry mouth.	11
[WP] Magic, all types, has mutagenic properties. Whether you become one with the forest, teeter on the brink of death, or give yourself over to the machines- it is a chosen sacrifice. But even the paladins we depend on to control the worst of it are starting to be affected by proximity.	11
[WP] Earth's place in the interstellar community is neither the capital of Grand Democratic or Imperial government, nor the backwater forgotten tiny marble of a completely primitive race... It's more like a... Denmark.	11
[WP] By the 2100’s, AI is regulated by international treaty in much the same way as nuclear weapons are. But, not needing lots of radioactive material to work- AI’s could be built by anyone and difficult to track. Forcing nations to enforce AI treaties using... AIs.	11
[WP] The U.S. Government has just learned that not only are witches real, but they are responsible for roughly 50% of the missing kids that are never found. The FBI, US Marshalls, and ATFE must now go on a witch hunt, but without any clue of what they are up against.	11
[WP] The island was maybe 20 feet across, and completely surrounded by water, but no matter what way you looked through it, the trees went on for miles.	11
