You wake beside a humming beacon on an alien plateau. A surveyor in ink blue and copper hands you the first choice: where do we explore?

You wake in a rail dispatcher's room above a jammed freight yard, and he needs a partner to untangle the valley's lines.

You wake on a half-built shore, and a woman with a plank list hands you a mug. Beams, a hull, and the next coast are waiting.
