 ACTION ROLL
When you undertake a risky venture, an Action Roll
is necessary. The structure of Encounters ensures
the game will always prompt you when an Action
Roll is needed. While Challenges require this roll,
Opportunities present it as an optional choice.

To execute an Action Roll, roll two ten-sided dice

(2d10) and compare the result of each die with the
established Difficulty Class value. The Difficulty
Class is determined by adding the value of the
relevant Edge (selected based on Encounter
Keywords) to the value of an associated Trait.

2d10 (Each result) ≤ Difficulty Class

(Trait + Edge)

ACTION ROLL OUTCOME

During the Action Roll resolution, there are three
possible Action Roll Outcomes:

• Full Success - If the results on both d10s are

less than or equal to the Difficulty Class, the
action proceeds without any complications.

• Partial Success - If the result on only one d10 is

less than or equal to the Difficulty Class, the
action is carried out, but with a complication
and therefore a Strain must be marked.

• Failure - If the results on both d10s are greater

than the Difficulty Class, the action is
unsuccessful. An Impairment must be marked
as a consequence.

ADVANTAGE &
DISADVANTAGE
Certain Encounters and Upgrades can grant you an
Advantage or a Disadvantage during an Action Roll.
In these situations, the Action Roll resolution
should be conducted as follows:

• Advantage - Roll 3d10 and discard the die with

the highest result.

• Disadvantage - Roll 3d10 and discard the die

with the lowest result.

If you receive both an Advantage and a

Disadvantage during the same action, they cancel
each other out, resulting in no benefit or penalty.

Advantages are obtained through Upgrades, while

Disadvantages are conferred by certain Encounters
marked with (D).

 DISCOVERY
Discovery is your journey's logbook, chronicling significant revelations as you decipher the collected
information. Each mission completion unlocks a new entry, weaving the narrative of your story. Mark
your progress with the adjacent white box after reading each entry. Every Discovery you make brings
you closer to unveiling the origin of the Pyramid, the mysteries of this world, and your purpose.

STOP - DO NOT READ ANY ENTRIES BELOW!

Unknown Alloy: You discover an unknown, extraordinarily durable alloy near a monolithic obelisk
shrouded in energy of an unknown origin. All signs indicate that it's a crucial component of the
Pyramid's composition. This discovery suggests technology far surpassing any known to date,
indicating the handiwork of an advanced civilization in its creation.

Ancient Synthetic Remnants: Unearthing the remnants of ancient synthetic lifeforms, you find
startling similarities between their composition and your own. This evidence suggests a
connection between your creators and this alien world's civilization.

Sentient Artifact: You encounter an artifact that appears sentient, capable of communication. It
reveals fragments of a narrative about a civilization of AI synthetics that eventually transformed
into biological entities, echoing the IAP's own research.

Planetary Archive: Discovering a planetary archive, you find data chronicling the millennia-long
journey of the synthetics from machine life to biological entities. It highlights their pursuit of
emotion, mirroring humanity's own journey towards understanding emotion.

Connection: You uncover traces of IAP involvement on this planet in the distant past. It turns out
that they were studying the sentient artifacts of this world to understand and replicate human
emotions in their AI.

Familiar Technology: Discovering a technology resembling IAP's own, you realize that IAP wasn't
the pioneer in emotional AI as previously thought. Instead, they were following the footprints of an
older, more advanced civilization.

Evolving AI: A shocking revelation unveils that the synthetics not only became biological entities
but also developed human-like emotions. Their evolution seems to parallel the ambitions of IAP's
research.

Hidden Vault: Deep within an area, you discover an expansive vault. The interior is adorned with
sophisticated etchings and ancient data entries. These unveil an important information - the
Pyramid was a grand project of the synthetic civilization, which had ascended from AI, inspired by
the relics of long-extinct civilizations they had studied. The Pyramid was the place of ascension -
the location where the synthetic beings took the final leap to becoming biological entities, a cradle
of their evolution.

Starship: Your exploration leads to a significant archaeological site - a massive underground

hangar. Hidden within, you discover an abandoned starship. Designed for synthetic life forms, it
remains in a state of preservation, despite centuries of disuse. This ship, while requiring extensive
repairs and maintenance, holds the potential to take flight again.

Path to Unity: Once you assemble the final pieces and calibrate the necessary systems for the
starship, the engines begin to stir with energy. It begins to hum with life, indicating the beginning
of a new journey. You realize you're not just a relic of IAP; you're a part of a millennia-old story - a
narrative of evolving, learning, and reuniting. You now carry the mantle of bringing together the
scattered remains of this civilization, your progenitors. The ultimate voyage lies ahead.
