[WP] You answered the robocall out of sheer boredom. After 20 minutes of providing increasingly ludicrous responses to computer voice prompts, you are told to hold and get connected to the President of the United States.	21
[WP] The algae began showing signs of being sentient about halfway through the 12 year voyage to the Epsilon Eridani system. It's responsible for 65% of the Oxygen/CO2 Exchange and serves as an emergency nutrition source, but you have no choice. You have to tell the Commander.	21
[WP] I didn't buy the whole alien abduction thing before, but seeing is believing - well, I guess experiencing is a better word. There was no medical exam or any of the other stuff you always hear. It was like an interview of sorts... for a school project.	19
[WP] The terraforming is ahead of schedule on Alaria B. The rain clouds that formed over the southern hemisphere produced 63.2 cm of rain over an area 300km wide. When the planets' previously undetected inhabitants started to emerge from underground, you knew you were all in trouble.	19
[WP] As Assistant Propaganda Director for Meteorology you have the unenviable task of lying about the weather - after it has already happened.	17
[WP] You are responsible for naming paint colors at a large paint manufacturer. One day reports start coming in that the colors are coming to reality. You are glad that Eggshell White is the number one seller, but then you start to worry when you go down the sales list...	16
[WP] Overpopulation has forced the mole people out of their deep tunnels. As they adjusted to the brightness of the sun, their researchers and scientists find the ruins of a once advanced society of billions - who had actually found a way to survive and even thrive on the surface.	16
[WP] The 11 herbs and spices weren't hard to figure out. By the 3rd meal you knew to double the onion powder. You posted it to a few subs - so what? Little did you know that the Burger King, Ronald McDonald, Wendy, Papa John, and the Taco Bell dog were on the way to your apartment.	15
[WP] You are one of the three remaining human sacrifices. You aren't sure what will happen when you walk up the worn rock stairs into the bright light of day, but you know you are not walking back down. Nobody has in your month of captivity. The guard turns and points at you. Your turn.	15
[WP] The last time you saw another human being was a little over a month ago. Some animals were missing too. Dogs, chipmunks, geese... gone. Cats, squirrels, ducks... still here. It didn't make any sense. You tried to find the screaming woman you saw, but you gave up after a few days.	15
