I designed and built this PDA mission for Empyrion myself:

  • write a storyboard
  • adapt it to the existing scenario
  • design an build the buildings
  • place them on the planet

I also redesigned the planet itself to match the mission:

  • slightly different biom design (plants)
  • the light intensities and colors
  • the placement in the sector and the asteroid choice

The last step was to implement the mission to the PDA

  • create tasks and actions
  • write a preamble
  • distribute the rewards
  • test the flow and if everything works fine

~~~~~~~ The Story ~~~~~~~

On the planet Triton, earthworms have grown into gigantic alien worms.
EGS is trying to find out what happened and what can be done about the destructive worms.
They have built observation stations underground.

~~~~~~~ The Mission ~~~~~~~

The player knows nothing. He has to investigate the planet Triton on behalf of EGS and find out what happened there. On the planet he finds entrances to underground caves with his radar. In each cave they have to collect information. Codes for teleporters and encrypted information for codes for a yellow door in the main cave.

Surface Entrys

Caves just below the surface

Secret Rooms below the caves.
Hint LCDs: „Remember symbols (shape and count)“

Safe observation rooms with codes for the teleporters to the research bunker.

Main Cave
All symbol counts can be entered here to open the yellow door.

Giant Alienworm Research · Protective Bunker

Giant Alienworms are mutations of the normal Earthworm.
The first ones appeared 10 years ago. Since then they got bigger and bigger…
We had to build safe places deep down unter the surface of the earth.
Where rock has a better stability and alienworms can’t dig through….

<— Proportions of an alienworm –>
they are 5 to 100m long

They are EVERYWHERE !
They cause earthquakes and destroy cities.
We have to stop them!
But how?

The player now knows the history of the planet and is rewarded by EGS for his curiosity.
Reward and exit.
