Nanotrasen is spying on the Wizard Federation. An entire class of wizard apprentices have learned the Immovable Rod spell. But they fucked it up. They are all travelling through space towards the station.
We have 30 minutes (or however long) to evacuate to another place. Lavaland? Chasmland is unstable. Nanotrasen's geological experts predict that too much disturbance could cause a chain reaction. Where everything tips into the abyss.
What's this? We are receiving a signal from what was thought to be a long gone Nanotrasen station. It seems someone has awakened on this station and has activated the distress signal. They seem to have a working teleporter. For now at least. Charlie Station seems to the best bet for survival. But the SMES there is running out of power. And the rods are closing in. Also asteroids because why not.
Would be a fun twist on the "crew have to survive on lavaland" event. Maybe this has been done before. Not sure. But engineering have the solars to set up and a tesla engine to also create. There's a botany area. A medbay, kinda, if you squint or build. There's a security section and a large RnD area. There's a kitchen. Maybe a shuttle can be made to go from Charlie Station to Lavaland (not sure how that works or if it's possible). A cargo console could still be used to order things. But they have to be delivered via a supply ERT who will only deliver to cargo personnel. Security would have to deal with the hive creatures first. Then antags are added, if there's not enough chaos.
Maybe a dumb idea. Most of mine are. But could also be fun.
