The adventure for the Interstellar App



Hiya. I figured a lot of people would have various questions about the interstellar adventure storyline so I thought I'd start a guide. There's a Q&A section in the first comment. If you have a Q&A that isn't shown feel free to let me know so I can add it. ^_^

When adding new info to the guide please say what day(rollover), if possible, and if there's a rollover required afterwards. Personally I'm way behind on the quests compared to others so I don't know what goes where.

Journey to Vredefort Crater
Here you can take a long journey to Vredefort Crater, a place impacted by the most ancient of meteors, to find the rumoured Interstellar Remnants. Tales of shooting stars frequently falling in that region seem to be true. You will need a residing submale in your den to protect the pride while you're gone. The journey's cost is 5000 SB, and only strong, experienced lions can prepare for such a big adventure. You will have to be a Dreamboat and level 7 to proceed.

Note: The quest can be taken once per account. It may take a long while to finish, depending on your play style. There is no time limit for completing this quest; however, once the quest is complete, you can never take it on this account again.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>After paying the starting fee<<<<<<<<<<<<<
There's no quests. It's a introduction to the storyline.

"Let's begin with a survey of the land. Take 200 steps while exploring, and report back to me if you notice any Cancer residue. I will check out the rivers and other bodies of water. The Meteors tend to sink."

"The stardust from the constellation can affect animals. It would be very handy if you fight a few dozen and check them for contamination signs once they're weakened. A yellow glow, erratic behaviour, walking aimlessly and looking up to the stars... Meanwhile, I will go to the areas you described as being unusual and see if I can find the first pieces."

You have not fulfilled your task yet. 0/50 animals defeated.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wait until Rollover<<<<<<<<<<<<<
"Welcome back, ____! Ah. I see the animals did not seem unusual, then. That is great news! Perhaps the detritus has not affected anything living just yet... or it could be manifesting in some other way that I'm not familiar with.

Oh! Here's the residue I collected from the lands you've described. Check out how it looks, in case you find more. That was a good exploration effort. I will hold onto it, just in case it could have a physical effect on you. Let me study its properties on your planet."

(+ 2 residue!)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wait until Rollover<<<<<<<<<<<<<
"What? It was EATEN?! Oh no! Who knows what EATING the stardust will cause in this ecosystem! I need to think on what to do next - tracking a crocodile seems very dangerous for a lion. If it's any consolation, I've found another Cancer residue while I was looking for test subjects. I know, I know... I will stick to rats from now on. I promise. Let me finish my studies for now, and we'll talk tomorrow."

(+ 1 residue!)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wait until Rollover<<<<<<<<<<<<<
"Don't worry! I haven't lost any rats today. I did feed the dead ones to the live ones, though. It is amusing that they are willing to eat ANYTHING. What? Don't look at me like that. The crocodile ate this antelope... thing. I need to find out what may come out of this.

Meanwhile, I would appreciate it if you could do another survey of the lands. Try looking up north from your last search, and report back to me if anything looks out of the ordinary, or if you spot a glowing yellow detritus."

"Hey, ____, I've caught up with you! I've found some more Cancer residue. This mission is really starting to shape up, and I'm hopeful that the constellation can be restored! If it wasn't for one mad king's mistakes, the kingdom, the home for all lion souls, would not break apart... Oh, you've heard of Apedemak? Yes... He is not the first, and he won't be the last. His kingdom is located at the muzzle. A truly magnificent world, illuminated by two suns. One is dying...

Well. Anyway. The kingdom fell apart, and the corruption spread from the muzzle onto the neighbouring constellation, Cancer. This is how it all began. Hey, don't look at me like that. I'm not here to babysit all of the residents of my projects. Let's go back and store this residue in a safe spot. I shall check on the rats as well."

(+ 2 residue!)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wait until Rollover<<<<<<<<<<<<<


πŸŒ› Rollovers 6-10 🌜

"Greetings! I am very busy today, but I have one thing to ask you for. When your lionesses go out hunting today, could they keep an eye out for some crocodile poop? ... What?

We need to see if it's digested the antelope! Your lionesses can just look at the poop along the riverbanks and waterholes. Maybe they may end up finding one with stardust in it... Just something your pride could look for while doing their duties, you know. I won't bother you personally to find something so inconspicuous."

Your lionesses have not found a sparkling crocodile poop yet.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wait until Rollover<<<<<<<<<<<<<
"Oh... So it's drawn to the water yet again. It behaves really strangely on this planet, full of such diverse life. Walk with me. We'll talk as I gather the stardust. It looks as though the rats feeding on this stardust, even accidentally, do end up changing. Slowly, they succumb to its radiation - but, instead of killing them, the Cancer deforms their bodies in an attempt to adapt to this new kingdom.

We have to wipe out this Cancer from the Earth. This planet, its fauna and flora, do not deserve to suffer. Your bodies can't fight it. I will do everything I can to wipe it all out as soon as possible. I appreciate that you're helping, as well. Ah, there it is... there we go. Hmm. I will go check out that waterhole. See you tomorrow, ____."

Meanwhile, I want you to finish your duties for the day. Once you're back, I will tell you what I have learned from the rats."

Your submale has not found anything useful yet.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wait until Rollover<<<<<<<<<<<<<
"____! Finally! Oh, it's so unfortunate. The Cancer stardust is quickly digested by water microbes... they get eaten by larger and larger creatures in the food chain, but... marine life... it reacts differently than the rats did. It's just so bizarre. It seems as though it was meant to happen this way. It looks like the names given to constellations have a purpose.

The bubbling pools were breeding grounds for creatures tainted with this residue. I saw a few of those... twisted creatures... leaving the pool! They must be invading your lands! Jima, you need to go exploring and kill all ten of the Celestial Crustaceans that I saw emerge into your territory!"

Hunhow! There you are. I woke up at night and decided to study some of your flora. They seem to have some amazing chemical traits that could cause a cleanse after ingesting them.

So, I think I've found a possible way to heal terrestrial animals from the Cancer's corruption. It would be an amazing project requiring lots of experiments, but we should give it a try! You're the lion who knows this world best.

Could you bring me 500 herbs, anything you can find, so I can study them and prepare some potential antidotes? Don't worry. I will do my job and look for more of the residue while you're gone."

β€œWonderful! I've found some more residue near a local river. I worry that a lot of it sunk to the bottom, so we'll have to hurry with all of this. As I prepare the extracts, could you find me a few test subjects?"

Well... Maybe some of your... estranged cubs that you would normally consider killing off? I know it's horrible that I will have to use residue on them, but... It will motivate me to heal them even more. Whatever happens to them, I will take them with me on the Leonid trail, and they will have eternal fun, just as a cub should, within the Dwarf Galaxy. I promise you this."

"Welcome back. It will take at least a week before I have any results with the cubs. We're doing many different approaches in each test group. They're having fun playing with a sparkling cub-looking adult, let me tell you that!

Now then, that river. It would be great if you could check it out. I remember that it was a very long meander, eroded on the southern side, with a big beach. Oh, you sort of remember where it is? Wonderful! Perhaps you could take a closer look at the water and see if there are any stardust trails."

β€œOh... How unfortunate. I guess I could try to take a dive... Not a big fan of water though, but you understand, don't you, fellow feline? That's okay. It's for a greater cause.

Hey! The cubs have found another Cancer residue while playing. It was hidden inside of a honey badger's burrow. I think I was able to retrieve it right on time! Ugh. Fine, yes, the water. We'll meet tomorrow. Let me dive while the cubs are sleeping."

"Hello again, Hunhow. I did manage to retrieve some residue, but it's already dissolved a bit, and I saw some big, deformed beings hiding among the river's muddy banks. There surely are a few more monstrosities out there, crawling and infecting other animals.

I am sorry to have to ask this of you again, but it would be for the best if you could slay those crustaceans again, for everyone's safety."

""Hello...! Oh, what's this? Oh... Oh! Oh, wow, that's a lot of otters. Hello, everyone! Oh, careful with the mane... Oh, no, I am not a lion-otter, ha, ha...! Oh, I am overjoyed that these fellows want to help out! They are quite adorable, aren't they?

Thank you so much, Rah~SunriseDawn! I will speak to the otters and we will coordinate together. Two more meteors down!"

Rollover 13: β€œHey! The cubs are still undergoing some tests. The production of a corrupted food chain, overseeing mutations, and recording antidote results are quite attention-consuming.

Oh! You've seen something glowing near a human village? I think I can take care of that trip, maybe even wander to a few other populated places and see what I can find. For now, you should go rest!"

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wait until Rollover<<<<<<<<<<<<<
"Hey! I am super busy today with the cubs. I had no idea children are such a handful! I'm sure you'd know something about it though, wouldn't you? Aaah, no... I cannot ask your pride to take care of them. They're in my paws now.

Perhaps you could continue to survey the lands, and as usual, let me know if you see any more hotspots."

You have not fulfilled your task yet. 0/400 steps taken in explore.


This is an extremely work in progress. More will be added as info comes in

"Welcome back! I'm beginning to think that your small, yellow sun is causing the residue to affect earthly creatures differently than in their homeworlds. Under the light of its usual giants, it would reshape the world and speed up evolution, essentially acting as a seed of new life, designed by Demiurges like myself.

Instead, here on Earth, everything is twisted, deformed, and dying. Your world has its own rules for life, clearly rules that should not be interrupted. I am so close to a breakthrough! I just need a few more things.

To be very specific, I require albino-based cubs who are as sensitive to your sunlight as the stardust. Don't worry, Hunhow. Once my theory is proven, I know now where to take them! The gorillas will surely take great care of them."

"Wonderful. I shall begin my last experiment. If my theory is correct, the cure is almost certain to be found!"

(Button: What can be done now?)

"Keep on looking. We're not done collecting the mass yet, so a new survey of the lands to the south would be great. I will check out that glowing city far east.

What is a "city"? Oh, it's like a human den, but very... packed. They just cram everything together in one spot. Scary place, these cities. It's for the best that I take care of that one."

@SnarkyUnicorn: Are they on cool downs maybe?

(After 500 steps)

"Well, it took you long enough, Hunhow! I've found a lot of residue. There's so much that I've stored them all in a deep, steep crevice where most animals do not dare to climb down, and the wind won't blow it away. You can tell me everything you've seen while we prepare antidotes together.

We must forge a new plan! I feel excitement vibrating in the tips of my claws, knowing how close we are to cleansing your lands and returning the Cancer to where it belongs!"

(+ 2 residue!)

[Okay]

"Check back with the Demiurge tomorrow! He is preparing antidotes."

"Hunhow, hurry! A mass of Celestial Crustaceans left the river last night! You must hunt them down before they spread their corruption! What? You've heard this before somewhere?

That's right - ANY constellation remnants invading your planet will cause corruption. I cannot simply fix this. I design worlds, not physics. I cannot just conjure it all at my own will. We must do this the old-fashioned way.

Take down the celestial invaders. I worry they could be drawn to the residue-coated cubs..."

"Maybe all of these distractions aren't just following entropy... Maybe it all has a purpose. It's almost as though it's a sentient hivemind, sensing my presence..."

[Snap out of it!]

"Right. The cubs. The antidote works! I require more herbs to produce a constant supply of antidotes for the time being. Later on, we will prepare a recipe for centuries to come, so that any creatures on your planet may pass it onto future generations. It may not work on every bit of detritus, but it will work against Cancri.

Again, though, I need more herbs. Any will do. I will use some for the antidote, and some to detox the other cubs."

Quantity:

You have not fulfilled your task yet. 0/500 herbs donated.

(After 500)

"These are perfect. To think I used to say that about pulsars... the threat of losing something so fragile, such as life on this planet, can change one's perception of beauty. Let's turn your kindling embers into a fire, mortals! I will cure the cubs, but they cannot stay here."

[What about the Giving Tree?]


"A sentient, generous tree? What? Oooh. A big tree where lions leave their cubs for others to take in. What a wonderful idea! You lions are great at thinking of ways to spread your genes across the lands. I think that's what I'll do with these cubs!

Can you drop some off to show me how it's done? I will follow suit."

You have not fulfilled your task yet. 0/15 cubs abandoned to the Giving Tree.

(After completion)

"I hid behind the thornbush over there and watched those cubs get adopted! I've sent out all of mine that were healthy, and goodness, they got picked up so quickly! They will live such happy, healthy lives! Wait, what?

Oh, no, stop, Hunhow, that's enough. I don't want to hear about any "fodder", thank you. Let me live in my hopeful bubble. So, anyway...great news! I managed to collect three more residue remnants from all the commotion with the Celestial Crustaceans earlier on!

I believe I only need a few more to create a siphon that will clean the rest of the surface, almost like a very particular black hole, feeding only on this specific element. I will burst it all back into the constellation and try to rebuild it to the best of my abilities. I will venture out to the corrupted river tonight. Let us meet tomorrow and discuss our plan of curing that crocodile."

(+ 3 residue!)

[Okay.]

Check back with the Demiurge tomorrow! He is surveying the rivers."

"Good morning! I think I found it last night. That crocodile leaves a trail of residue, and it must be what spawned the local crustacean mutations you had to fight. That reptile has migrated during the wet season from the last place you spotted it, so you'll need to wander along the valley to find it.

A little exploring should do the trick! Once you spot it, try putting some of the cure into its mouth. Wiggle it, pound it, punch it, whatever it takes, just don't get eaten. It will be very hard to rearrange your molecules properly."

You have not fulfilled your task yet. The crocodile has not been cured yet.

(After defeating crocodile)

"Ahhh, I couldn't wait! I just had to go after you. The fight was so thrilling to watch. I was absolutely captivated! What a close battle! You have such impressive skills when it comes to the fight for survival. Goodness, everything is so exciting here on Earth, so many close calls...! Existence gets a bit dull in my world. I am so glad that I came here. Thank you, Hunhow.

Oh, by the way, I've found some more crocodile dung. I should be able to get some residue from it. I will check on the crocodile tomorrow."

(+ 1 residue!)

[Okay.]

"Check back with the Demiurge tomorrow! He is busy watching the poop dry."

"I could not find the crocodile, but I did find a residue... "collection"... in a cave located among saw-toothed mountains to the east. The mountains are located by cliffs that speak of amazing kings and pride members within these lands. I believe they were referred to as "Leaderboards"? Do you know where that is?

I believe a lion, or some other sort of den-dwelling creature, is residing there. They may think the sparkling stones are a treasure of sorts. Could you visit this place and see if you can retrieve the residue? Don't be alarmed, you can finally touch the residue now! The antidote works perfectly, I assure you, though you may want to take some with you. Let me just wrap it around your neck...

... and there you go. A small, handy pouch. Go on, then!"

You have not fulfilled your task yet. The Leaderboard dweller has not been swayed.

You approach the familiar cliffs. They are covered in scratches from many lions' claws, etching and signing their names into the eroding rocky walls. Their achievements have been gathered and are displayed for everyone to see. It's never occurred to you before that there is someone in charge, keeping it all organised.

A secluded cave has its position given away thanks to a sparkling trail located within. This must be where the lonesome creature dwells, and where they have decided to hoard shiny things like an ancient dragon within a mountain.

[Run inside]

A cold shiver runs down your spine, stopping you in your tracks. There IS a dragon! It's covered in stardust, curled within its cave, and it's breathing fire! Wait... no. It's just a very deformed lion.

You're able to see firsthand what the Cancer residue does to animals in such concentrated amounts. You approach the creature slowly, uncertain if it will attack you like the Celestial Crustaceans did.

[Are you in pain?]

The creature growls and turns its head towards you. You can tell that the pain is indeed holding it back from attacking. How fortunate for you, but at the price of misfortune for this lion. Its agony limits its will to fight.

You cautiously bite down on the wrap around your neck to release the antidote pouch, nudging it towards the dweller, then stepping back.

[This is a cure. The stardust is very toxic.]

"I... thought sssso. When I realisssed, it wassss too late," the lion hisses, stretching its trembling paws towards the pouch.

You begin a condensed explanation of everything that has happened in these past days, while the lion consumes the marinated meat chunks. As you're telling your tale, you see relief on the lion's muzzle. The Demiurge must have spiked the meat with painkillers. It feels good knowing this lion's life won't diminish in pain.

[I should take the residue from you.]


"Pleassse, take it far, far away from any living creaturesss... There'sss more, but... I am sssso tired. Take the onesss from the cave. If I am alive tomorrow, I can ssshow you the ressst." You quickly sweep the shards up into the antidote pouch.

Before turning around to leave, you put on a brave face and give the deformed lion an encouraging nuzzle to say goodbye. You feel guilty that the lion flinched as you touched it, but you try to stay positive that the cure will surely work. The poor thing must still be in a lot of pain.

[Go back home.]

"I see you no longer have the antidote with you. What happened during your visit? ...Oh, goodness. What happened then? Wow. Oh, no, the poor lion!

Thank you, Hunhow, so very much for saving yet another life. Let me take this pouch and give you some extra doses of the cure. Please, eat away. You should return to this lion tomorrow. Hopefully by then, the cure should have alleviated some pain and some of their symptoms, making it possible for them to move around. I speculate their urge to decorate their home with sparkling stones brought them more pain than joy. Perhaps you can bring them something nice to soothe their pain.

Give me some time, and I should have a gift ready for your visit tomorrow."

(+ 1 residue!)

[Okay.]

"Hunhow! Hello! I have finished preparing an apology gift to the Leaderboard dweller. Please, take it with you. I feel very responsible for what has happened to them, and I have much gratitude over finding the last pieces of the Cancri.

Visit our patient and bring more of the cure with you. Tell them that we have more whenever they feel like they may need it."

You have not fulfilled your task yet. The Leaderboard dweller has not given you the residue yet.

You approach the cave again, this time without the fear of the unknown. You still have no clue who this lion is, but at least you now know they're just a victim of the Cancer sickness.

As you walk into their cave, you announce yourself in advance with gentle roars. This time, you are not met with a scary dragon, but a slightly less-deformed natural animal instead.

[You look better!]

"Thanks. To tell you the truth, it's an improvement from my normal face." The lion grins at you, obviously in a good mood. "You told me who you were yesterday, and now I finally can tell you more about myself.

"I am Ukuveza. I am in charge of keeping order and displaying the records of the famous lions within these lands. I live an introverted life, and I have to admit that the loneliness isn't bad, but... the lack of entertainment sure is.

"The shards I found sparkled and almost hypnotised me. I could stare at the lights moving within them forever. I wanted them in my cave so badly that I lost myself in it all. I never was in harmony with my body, but this... this was far worse. It's like that residue took what I hated and twisted it a hundred times over into something worse." You solemnly listen to their tale, concern etched on your face.

[Cheer them up.]

You express to the lion that maybe they just don't have enough interactions with others to hear truthful, loving reassurance. Ukuveza shakes their head.

"Perhaps, but it's just not easy to get out. I like to organise. It's emotionless, neutral, and fair, and it helps me feel like I contribute to society. Thank you, though. The residue you're looking for is located at the bottom of this mountain in a ravine. It's a bit of a lengthy trip, but I'm sure you can make it. Oh...? What's that?"

The lion's eyes become large and focused once you show off the gem garland that the Demiurge crafted.

"An apology gift? For me? Oh, that's so precious... it will be a wonderful souvenir to remind me that I should leave these cliffs once in a while."

You nudge the antidote pouch towards them as well.

"More of the cure? Do you think I'll need to take it for the rest of my life? No? Oh, well, maybe we should pretend that I must. It will give me a reason to visit you sometimes." You exchange smiles, and you attempt to nuzzle Ukuveza again, but they shy away this time. It's okay. At least you understand why, and you won't push it.

[Retrieve the residue and go back home.]

"Oh, let me just store away this residue, then you can tell me everything! ...Oh, woooow. Really? So they're a hermit lion of sorts. Perhaps you've brought some light into their lonesome world, in a more beneficial way than the residue did.

Oh, no, I don't mean the gem garland. I mean the comfort of a new friend. I'm glad this is all over... well, almost!"

[Almost]


"Well... the last big clump of residue that I've sensed is not easily accessible. I will need to travel far away into deep waters, and in order to dive, I must take my energy form. Most meteors fall into the ocean, you see. It's way too deep to be affected by your yellow sun, but it could still decay and seep into the water eventually, tainting marine life around it. It is important that I retrieve it.

Meanwhile, I would like you to take these meat chunks marinated with the cure and spread them among hundreds of prides. It's a big journey for us both, one that will save your future cubs' environment and ensure healthy lives. Once you're finished, we will meet at twilight."

You have not fulfilled your task yet. 0/500 dens visited.

[Status report]

"Welcome back, Hunhow. The crevice is filled with humming residue, ready to be gathered. I will work tonight on condensing it all into a special, multi-dimensional micro black hole. A black string, if you will, with the ability to weave through spacetime, leading the residue precisely back to its place within the constellation. It should consume all remains that match its frequency.

Ah, sorry for my rambling, I get that way about my work! I love my job. To put it in simpler terms, it will be like a tiny ball of light that vacuums dust from this planet.

Alright, I'd better get to work. Take care for now!"

(+ 2 residue!)

[Okay.]

"Check back with the Demiurge tomorrow! He is building a vacuum cleaner."
