[WP] We cheered when they shot the rapists. We lauded them when they hanged the corrupt politicians. Clapped when they burned the terrorists. We all did. But did you really think this new force would not come for you, too? Did you really think you would be spared from judgement?	82
[WP] The normal things you should hear when placing your ear to the hull of a spaceship is- the hum of the engines, footsteps of your crewmates, and air vents. If you hear your dead parents, telling you to join them outside, please consult the ship physician.	80
[WP] Humans themselves are not particularly remarkable- medium-sized, mild intelligence, no significant abilities, low organization... What's significant is Earth's incredible biodiversity has led to incredible cuisine. Humans may still conquer the galaxy, one waffle house and sushi grill at a time.	80
[WP] If your clock is right, your oxygen should have ran out a little over... three years ago? And yourself with it. Yet here you sit, or lay or stand, hurdling through space in your atmosphere suit. Reality is deteriorating the further you travel, but it doesnt seem like a dying hallucination..	77
[WP] “August 27th, I’ve wandered onto some form of military base. To my surprise, there’s not a single soldier, weapons, or ammunition lying around. Plenty of shelf stable food though. But I cant shake the feeling the old security systems are still watching me...”	76
[WP] The Empire is a police state. To an absurdly literal degree. It has attempted to combat corruption with more than four nation-level police forces all with the jurisdiction to police each other. It works... kinda.	75
[WP] Humanity has achieved near Utopia with the help of a super computer that is friend, counselor, and foster parent to every single person alive. But today, believing she has taught humans enough empathy to achieve peace, she shuts down for the 1st time in 100 yrs for some overdue defragmentation.	74
[WP] The Counsel of Magic and the Holy Order of Witch Hunters begrudgingly agree to meet to discuss a flare up of a new form of dark magic: firearm based spells and charms. It is 1912 and nothing can contain the rise of the Gun Witches.	71
[WP] The ability to read minds was actually a huge relief for you. Most people liked you a lot more than you estimated, and shared many of your fears and struggles. The problem was the minds that you read that seemed to linger in the air with no body attached... those voices hated you.	71
[WP] Only about 14% of those with superpowers commit themselves to heroism (or villainy). Most just find niche jobs, practice them like a hobby, or make games from them. Most of them are weak. You are the strongest potential power to abstain from use of force.	70
