0039 - Your party has recently uncovered an old ripped book. It appears to be the beginnings of a story about an event like the Big Mistake. Multiple earths were being merged together. Another book took place after the "Crisis" but the world was relatively unscarred by the merging of multiple realities. Sheajud, an elder in the community, argued that we should discover the secrets of their success but most people didn't want to waste the time. She has asked you to go to IJ ollect, an archivist stronghold. They have many similar types of books. (For those who don't recognize it, they found an issue of Crisis of Inifinite Earths.)

0040 - The party is hired/volunteers to help a 'village' located in the outskirts of a devestated ancient city. The villagers have begun noticing strange lights and noises in one part of the ancient city, and items of technology - even just metal - have begun disapearing from town. The disturnances are caused by a batch of Xi nannites trying to re-build a city block of the ruins into a cyberpunk-style archology. They've stripped much of the uninhabbitable regions of the city for raw materials, and are particularly 'ravenuous' for an Xi tech that may wander into the area. Conversely, though, they have 'reject piles' of Ishtar and Area52 tech (mostly stripped of useable components/elements and useless, but only mostly). The nannites build robots to defend their jobsite, and convert captured enemies into cyborgs (reprogrammed to be 'normal' Xi citizens), but the PCs may be able to infiltrate the project by pretending to be potential residents, local authorities, or the like. It's a chance to explore pre-Mistake Xi society. The DM should have a way to shut down or 'tame' the nannites...

0041- The good citizens of Deerpoint have hired you and your crew to ride shotgun as they deliver their harvest to market in Far Go, two tankers of ethanol fuel from Sorghum, will be traded for new farm tools, maybe even a Harvest Combine XL- 1200, and medical supplies. The citizens of Deerpoint offer survival equipment including food, clothing, and beer, ammo, fuel for the journey then 100 gallons after reaching Far Go. Between Deerpoint and Far Go, the Hogs, porker biker gang and the Hoppers, hoops biker gang. It's Road Warrior time.

0042- The seers have declared that the party must journey to the legendary city of Chai-ton to recover the Golden F.L.E.E.C.E. (Fracturing Laser Exploration Excavation and Construction Equipment, a big laser drill). They have a stem powered river boat (the largest boat on the river), supplies, and a crew of fifty. Bonus XP if PCs match the characters from the myth.

I was thinking more along the lines of Jason and the Argonauts combines with Paul O. William's An Ambush of Shadows from the Pelbar Cycle.

0043 - The PCs spend their days warring over the convict-ruled town of Independence, Misery. Tired of this hostility, and hearing of the fortunes to be had in the Organ Territories to the north west, the PCs pack up their supplies in their mutant-oxen-pulled pick-up truck and head on up the "Organ Trail".
Having stocked up on supplies from Matt the Rat's General Store (after heated bartering and a five-finger discount Skill Challenge), the group's travels bring them to the Kansas River. The oily, blackened liquid presents a problem... will you ford the river in your hunk of steel, caulk the river with a quick Mechanical check and two keelboats, or deal with the sinister "Safe Crossing" tent?

0044 - The PCs find an unusually talkative GPS device. It not only tells them where they are with perfect accuracy (surprising in itself, given the dicey nature of the GPS constellation in a world of collapsed alternate realities), but offers to lead them to all sorts of interesting (and dangerous places). Though it exhibits possible sentience, it /seems/ to all inspection to be nothing more than a bit of 21st century tech. What's really up with it? Is it an Omega Tech AI capable of altering it's apearance? Is it actually just a transiever being used by persons unknown to dupe the PCs?

0045 - A town sits on the edge of a veritable sea of dormant nanotechnology. It emulates water now, but people have seen signs of it becoming active. What possible threat does it pose to the world at large? How can you and your friends use even a small part of that sea?
