A strange little side quest
If Zero Time sends you down a curiosity rabbit hole, start here. Humans did not see the Moon's far side until a Soviet spacecraft flew past it in 1959. And then there is this: Early computer role-playing games helped turn rules, inventories, exploration and character progression into systems that could support long-form digital adventures. It is a good reminder that simple game mechanics can carry a surprising amount of history.

The countdown has reached zero in the rescue shuttle and you must do everything you can to keep the dangerous shockwave from reaching you. The only way to stop the cosmic contamination was the total annihilation of the XF5 sector. Escape to the Warpgate on the last remaining rescue shuttle before the shock wave reaches you! Collect rubies along the way, carefully regulate the reactor pressure to delay the catastrophe and repair the engine with your superb skills until you manage to maintain a constant speed on your escape. Make sure the batteries are charged and installed in their cells and survive at all costs! Manage the shuttle’s speed from the bridge. Regulate the reactor’s pressure to delay engine malfunction. Repair the engine by holding E to maintain current speed. Make sure the batteries are set up in their cells.
