SCARE will still run the game, but it will not create character battles where they would normally occur. For some games, this may be perfectly okay, as the Battle System is sometimes turned on by accident in a game, but never actually used. For others, though, the omission of this feature may be more serious.





A small freighter shoots through hyperspace towards Earth.

On board is a precious cargo, drugged to sleep through the journey.

A SoMorph.

In an inebriated state, a SoMorph is the size of a tennis ball, and quite harmless.

This is how pilot Alan Davies found the SoMorph.

Neither he, nor his cat companion Mr. Jones, realise the danger they are in.

Two days into the month long journey, the SoMorph is waking up. With a hangover.

Uninebriated, a SoMorph is two foot tall, purple, with tentacles and a single, central eye. It has some mind reading capabilities. It knows things it shouldn't.

Its mouth can morph to eat any creature. It has eaten humans before. Absorbed their language and limited knowledge.

It can sometimes appear to others in the form of its most recent prey.

The SoMorph is waking up.

And it wants to go home...



SoMorph in some kind of Cargo Bay.

It not large. It empty.

SoMorph note walls, floor and ceiling depressingly dirty.

No windows. Why no windows, humans? Why?

Lights flicker above SoMorph's head.

SoMorph see some writing on wall that reads "Economy Space Freight - You're cheap, and so are we!"

SoMorph not impressed.

There is an exit north.

SoMorph not happy. SoMorph wake up in strange place. Strange human place.

SoMorph not like humans. Filthy animals.

Oh, and a SoMorph need to find way home.
