A gift, for you.

Phic Phight be upon ye! 2461 words for @jackdaw-sprite, filling in for the prompt; "Finally; a scale, one of Clockworks own. Daniel would not accept such a fine gift without questions. So Clockwork slipped it beneath his skin as he slept."

Clockwork had to wait diligently for the scale to finally appear. Few would understand what they meant when they spoke of the wait, and ask blankly if they couldn't have simply plucked it from the future.

Such an assumption of ease grated, though was not new.

Clockwork had waited, because to reach to the future was a complication. It had many impossibilities layered onto itself, for the future was rarely so set in stone as to reliably pluck from.

Clockwork had waited, because to set up the future they'd had to realign with the snake first. To confirm the path with labor by their own hands.

So, let me guess– you just started a new book, right? And you’re stumped. You have no idea how much an AK47 goes for nowadays. I get ya, cousin. Tough world we live in. A writer’s gotta know, but them NSA hounds are after ya 24/7. I know, cousin, I know. If there was only a way to find out all of this rather edgy information without getting yourself in trouble…

You’re in luck, cousin. I have just the thing for ya.

It’s called Havocscope. It’s got information and prices for all sorts of edgy information. Ever wondered how much cocaine costs by the gram, or how much a kidney sells for, or (worst of all) how much it costs to hire an assassin?

I got your back, cousin. Just head over to Havocscope.

((PS: In case you’re wondering, Havocscope is a database full of information regarding the criminal underworld. The information you will find there has been taken from newspapers and police reports. It’s perfectly legal, no need to worry about the NSA hounds, cousin ;p))

Assassins

“Below are selected prices that are paid to professional assassins by criminal organizations and drug cartels for a contract hit.

In Australia, the median price to hire a hit man is $13,610 (9,800 Euros), with the price going up to $83,000 (60,000 Euros) based on the task.

In Mexico, the cost for a low level assassin is $208 (150 Euros), and up to $20,832 (15,000 Euros) for a higher profile target like a police chief.

The prices paid in Argentina are between $3,749 (2,700 Euros) to $5,555 (4,000 Euros) per hit.

Government statistics in Spain state that 40 assassinations take place each year, with prices for the hit ranging between $27 (20 Euros) to $69,000 (50,000 Euros).”

So cheap! I always thought things like this would cost more than $1 million…

Ok guys consider this: DP fic where Danny and Wes run away together

Make no mistake, they still absolutely HATE each other. Wes has been trying to expose Danny’s identity since the beginning, and that hasn’t changed a bit since the GiW appeared.

Now, though, it makes a little bit more sense to Danny.

Wes is at his window, panting and shaking, and he is bleeding. The GiW, he explains, had been harassing him since the beginning. An hour ago, they got the warrant needed to take him into custody, and they went after him immediately. To add to that, they got the papers to go after one other person as well. Danny.

So now, they’re on the world’s worst road trip to Florida or Alaska or some other, equally far away state because Wes has an uncle there who he knows has a deep enough grudge against the government that he won’t sell them out for anything.

They hate each other, and desperately wish they could ditch each other, but Danny’s the only one who can actually keep their rustbucket bike (originally Wes’ brother’s, gifted to him after it started breaking down) working without dropping at least 2 grand on repairs, and Wes is the only one with a driver’s license.

Danny’s honestly surprised that Wes didn’t just sell him out. Wes told him that, quite frankly, he probably would have, had the GiW not attacked him as viciously as they did. He still hated Danny, of course, but he couldn’t live with himself if he just…left someone to get tortured like that.

Danny snaps that he knew the GiW would do that since the beginning, and if Wes had just listened to him—

In truth, he’s surprisingly touched. He’s never gonna tell Wes that, but still.

Basically just roadtrip of hell where Danny and Wes slowly get closer and start to understand each other, while simultaneously Jazz and Sam are working together to politically destroy the GiW, Tucker is running digital interference as much as possible (Danny, please stop showing your full face in front of security cameras, are you trying to give him a seizure), and the parents Fenton are beginning to think that they might’ve, just maybe, made a slight mistake in their understanding of Phantom.

(1.4k words, prompt fill >:3)

Sometimes Danny wishes his core wasn't so insistent about hearing everyone out, the needy whine rising in intensity as situations proved more suspect than originally thought. Not that it'd solve anything right now, but it'd be less a pain in the ass.

And he should still punch Wes, but... well...

Actually, he should definitely punch Wes for the broken window, but given the circumstances it was understandable. And how frightening that was, to be ready to maim and see Wes in the slightly grey drizzle, beat to shit worse than anything Dash had dared to do to Danny.

"The Guys In White." He'd started, voice already cracked from overuse (a haunting thought). The over-expensive dirtbike shifted underneath him.

The GIW had gotten a warrant for him so they could have a real interrogation for his ranting. Real interrogation, like a spit lip. Real like a black eye.

Real like a cracked voice.

He'd tried to sarcastically drawl about it, hands carefully not on the broken glass. Careful, despite the attempted casualness.

"And did they finally believe you?"

Problem with making sci fi dungeons is coming up with places that aren't just military tech bases, research facilities, mines or abandoned space stations.

I have the entirety of modern life to pull from and I come up blank somehow.

Avatar

fair, though let me make unsolicited suggestions anyways in case it helps:

  • A highspeed railcar, ideally big enough for freight so that you can make "walls" from various crates and scatter interesting/useful stuff around them. At some point either coming across a locked or barricaded door and having to crawl out and deal with the rushing wind and timed hazards like signs and tunnels.
  • The surface of a dyson sphere, preferably still under construction, so you can have a mixture of purposeful design, open areas exposed to the sun, control rooms to manage energy or maybe even move platforms around for passage.
  • The interior of a luxury space cruise, with the added benefit of being able to make some wild themed rooms on the justification of "it's rich people being excessive, again".
  • Future library, with increasingly bizarre security systems for the seemingly endless parade of even more restricted sections.
  • A cathedral for some future sci-fi religion. Themed statues that shoot lasers from their eyes, stained-glass that turn into thousands of coloured drones, and you get to reuse any of your greatest hits from your local fantasy campaign but refluffed as robot-slash-art-slash-security system.

@five-by-five I'm adding your additions here because I think they are fucking awesome.

Anyone is completely free to add their sci-fi/space opera dungeon ideas here.

Avatar

Thought of this while reading but: (this is all one idea, each point is just a different layer to it)

  • Large skyscrapers with dozens, maybe a hundred different floors
  • Most likely office buildings of mega-corps who can not only afford to build such buildings but also require all that space
  • Maybe evacuated due to a threat the party is responding to, either externally or even something caused internally, like mega-corps messing with shit they shouldn’t have
  • Maybe even completely abandoned due to messing with shit they shouldn’t have, and now the threat is getting ready to leave the quarantined building unless the party can stop it
  • Or the building is completely occupied and the goal of the mission is infiltration and stealth, stealthily going by security checks and convincing all the tired, burned out office workers you’re supposed to be there, trying to reach one of the uppermost floors avoiding as much conflict as you can

I'm all for turning this into modern/sci-fi dungeon megapost hours here

  • A dam, churning as water passes through and filled with complex machinery to keep things working. With a variant for it being after some environmental change that drained the reservoir and now the dam is the only passage across a chasm, with the party needing to adjust the now-defunt mechanisms so they can pass through.
  • A hab dome in some extreme environment, an abandoned colony that only just got started. Not unlike some of the other suggestions but a bit more "open" at the costs of the risk of environmental hazards.
  • Adjacent to the "military tech base" thing is, of course, a spaceship. Presumably with the party launching an attack on it from a boarding vessel at some point. Mix it up by having the ship they're attacking currently docked with another ship, exchanging supplies or personnel, so now you've got two potential dungeons ships to traverse through. Maybe one is transporting cargo and has lesser security, so you board that one so you can cross over to the higher security one.
  • Fancy space McMansion, with a courtyard (complete with hedge maze), a fancy pool (that's also a weird underwater course or boat racing rally because this is the future wealthy), the mansion interior with Resident Evil style puzzles, and of course the bunker holding all the valuables/target for assassination/hidden intel.
  • A place struck by a timestorm, so you have a bunch of different zone of the "same dungeon" that flickers into different things. Sometimes it's underconstruction, sometimes it's a military base, sometimes it's a club from a city in another era, and sometimes the planet is undergoing an invasion. All instances of the same timestorm across the ages, existing simultaneously, and you have elements from one zone spilling into the next so you have an eclectic mix of challenges, but also the potential to find something that doesn't exist in your time.

Sorry I'm in the mood to add more:

  • Rich person's menagerie. While I'm not particularly a fan of killing a bunch of endangered space animals, you can have a bit of characterization mixed in where it's not really endangered animals but rather whatever the owner thinks is "cool" which just so happen to be encounter appropriate enemies. Rooms themed around their natural environments (rooms clearly too small and thus adding to the agitation, rooms that are big for the owner's "favorites"), corridors between exhibits with patrolling guard bots, maintenance tunnels. Lends itself to puzzle interactions (don't make eye contact with the space gorilla and you can pass through the room), and environmental interactions (guards in the way? push them into the eel pit). Can be there to rescue one of the animals, or it's a route into one of the other dungeons suggested.
  • "The Collector" aka, some person's fiercely guarded vault or spaceship full of art, jealously guarded by the finest security they could get their hands on. Maybe some of the art itself is dangerous: "This pillar is made out of more Psycite than seven systems naturally produce. The artist tuned all of it to express the pure psychic wave length of pain as a means of invoking a sense of universal emotion between all species... also save or be staggered from feeling like all your nerves are on fire when you're in the room." Naturally you could be there to steal one of the pieces, or it could just be a side hobby of your villain.

how about one of those giant data center complexes that houses all the servers for ChatGPT or Bitcoin or something? they use insane amounts of water and energy to keep running, so it could also have like, an external area with solar/hydro power machines? but inside it's just a mostly empty vault of row upon row of server towers?

A factory, operating automatically or inoperative or maybe with machines missing (Chrono Trigger!)

More specifically, a chip fab (future is gonna need a lot of those)

Space Cheesecake Factory

Space Abandoned Disney World

Subway system (whichever Planet of the Apes that was)

Airport

Shipping terminal

Space container ship

Ferry (water or space)

Racetrack of some kind
