[WP] After the World Order leans on facial recognition technology to monitor the population, “privacy fashion,” makeup and masks that prevent recognizing become common. This functional art has a downside when you forget what people look like.	5
[WP] “Citizen, place your arms above your head and submit yourself for inspection.” The armored behemoth comes near, and you prime the trigger on your vest. As you whisper your deceased brother’s name under your breath in final remembrance, the officer pauses. “Yes?”	5
[IP] The Bog	5
[WP] Humanity is desperately trying to negotiate a truce with a species whose psychic language we cannot speak, and who cannot understand our signals. We have negotiated through an interpreter species that can. For the first time, you realized it may be the interpreters trying to cause the war.	5
[WP] You're hungry, tired, and lost. This place makes absolutely no sense and seems to defy the laws of physics. You'd think you might be drugged, but no drug lasts two days. You cling to your gun desperately, but you're not even sure if it would hurt those things...	5
[WP] The Greater Technocratic Cult has taken to the streets again, marching against the ‘oppressive’ Imperial Theocratic Police. The people want neither one to win, and both- tired of the games- think they have an ace up their sleeves this time.	5
[WP] The throne grants immortality, and you have already ruled it for 200 years. But you are a false king, and you know it. The true king will return, you know the prophecy. But you've already killed him 6 times. One of these days, one of him will gain the upper hand...	5
[WP] In response to a growing 'free love' movement in their midst, the ultra-religiously conservative Empire illegalized "Sexuality." Just... all of it. No one was even sure what that meant. But by God, they were enforcing it. These are- interesting- times to be a court reporter.	5
[WP] A technologically-dependent and digitally-supplimented immortal society suffers a massive power failure killing billions, and is reminded that "indefinite life" is not the same as "infinite life."	5
[WP] Early last year, a dark spot began to cloud our vision of parts of the stars. As it got bigger, we learned it was a nebula, and we were approaching it. Some time next week, the solar system will enter it. Scientists still aren't sure why we didn’t see it earlier.	5
