TEXT: Junkyard Dog
  This adventure takes place on the Pokiwol on Earth Prime’s Alternate platform, 
  Junkyard. A novice IDE team is sent here to search the garbage for items of interest. In 
  particular the team is told to bring back high tech items. 
  This time around the heroes will find some interesting items and a white crystal 
  key. They may also unlock a new crystal key power, Find Key, and bring back some 
  treasure for Earth Prime scientists to ponder over. 
  They also will encounter the Junkyard’s Dog…
  GARBAGE MEN
  The team rides their bicycles to Earth Prime Alternate platform and parks them 
  next to the pokiwol ring station. They will spend several days here looking for interesting 
  items: electronics, vehicles, books, and artwork, whatever looks like a find. All of the 
  bikes are outfitted with trailers, so they can haul up to 200 lbs. worth of junk apiece back 
  to Hatsumi base. They have side arms, and windup radios for communication. The 
  windup radio, after a good 3 minutes of winding, will operate for 30 minutes before 
  running out of power. 
  The team has minimal camping gear, as the plan is to sleep on the yacht that 
  IDET 1 found. This is where we start the junkyard challenge.
  NO PLACE TO REST MY HEAD
  The yacht is right where IDET 1 said it was. However, it is not in the pristine 
  condition that they left it in. It is now buried under 5 feet of junk. Newspapers, paper 
  cups, individual socks, masonry, all sorts of useless detritus. The newspapers are in 
  bundles and are from a place called Nieuw Amsterdam and are in Dutch. They are all 
  from the same date, one week ago, and seem to be little worse for wear. Several intact 
  copies of this newspaper can be obtained.
  Note: If anyone can read Dutch, the paper has news from a bustling metropolis, 
  with major shipping news and a rich publishing trade. Heroes who speak German
  or related language can make a language roll. A success gets them basic 
  information; with a raise they can get all the information. 
  The paper is not on newsprint, but on good quality paper and is obviously laid out
  using an old fashion typesetter. However, the newspaper has ads for computers 
  comparable to current models, if not a couple years out of date. Most surprising 
  is the four pages of full color comic strips that look more like works of art than 
  common entertainment.
  There’s very little politics in the paper, that’s all relegated to the two editorial 
  pages and the one “national” page. The paper mostly concerns itself with trade 
  relations and commerce with the other nations of North America. The country the 
  newspaper is from is Nieuw Nederland, lead by a governor-general. The city of 
  Nieuw Amsterdam is run by a city council who is more worried about tariffs than 
  reelection.
  
  However entertaining the newspaper is, the fact is that the it will take a day just 
  to clear the junk off of the yacht to make it livable. So the choice has to be made: Clear 
  the junk off, or look for someplace else.
  Weather on this pokiwol is bright and sunny. No sun, but sunny nonetheless. 
  Clouds do dot the outrageously curved sky, but if they have to, sleeping out in the open 
  shouldn’t be a problem. But the more interesting choice is to search the area and see 
  what has deposited itself on the pokiwol.
  SCRAPYARD CHALLENGE
  The Long Trailer
  Half buried in debris, is a stainless steel camping trailer. It’s some 50 feet long, 
  and is very angular in design. Looking at it, the first thing one notices is that its manner 
  of construction is off. Where rivets would be used, a different fastener is used. The 
  wheels, while flat, are different in design and construction. Nothing about this trailer 
  indicates that it was constructed by European influenced culture. 
  In fact, the impression one gets is that this has a decidedly Mesoamerican style 
  and design. As though the Aztecs or Mayans had lasted long enough to invent travel 
  trailers and automobiles of their own. The metal panels are literally stitched together 
  using metal wire and sealed using a latex rubber compound. The door to the trailer is 
  octagonal in shape: the corners of the door are cut off, forming the tall eight-sided 
  shape. Numerous glyphs adorn the exterior of the trailer, but are totally unreadable by 
  anyone. Finally, the wheels are not of contemporary design, being made of a type of 
  vulcanized rubber unknown to anyone on the team. For one thing, they are white in 
  color, not black. Another is that all four wheels are flat and the axels between them are 
  bent at odd angles.
  The interior has what one would expect: A living/dining area, a kitchen, and 
  sleeping area. However, none of this is in the European/American style. The living and 
  dining area consists of low tables and cushions. The kitchen has a wood fired stove and 
  various clay storage bins and no refrigeration. The sleeping area consists of a large 
  straw mattress that looks to be used communally. The condition of the interior is pretty 
  shabby. Everything has seen a lot of wear and tear and none of it is in good condition. 
  The straw mattress has sprung many leaks, straw is everywhere, and the cushion in the 
  living area smell of mildew and rot.
  The flue for the stove is broken in several places and the clay pots that make up 
  the storage system are just shards of broken pottery. However, the structure is still 
  watertight and there’s glass in the windows.
  The Crooked House
  This is some sort of outbuilding from a construction site. It’s sitting cockeyed on 
  the ground, tilted at a twelve degree angle and the building is most definitely not square. 
  The windows are all broken out. A sign in Russian states that this is the Stanislav 
  Imperial Construction Company’s property, with an address in Madrid, Spain. The 
  building seems to have been near a fire. Close enough to have several exterior panels 
  singed and blackened. Inside the building are recognizable construction tools, with odd 
  brand names from all over Europe and the Middle East. All the tools are in good shape 
  and can be used for their intended purposes. 
  
  However, the same cannot be said for the building. Moving about in it for a bit or 
  leaving the door open longer than a few minutes, will cause the building to collapse and 
  trap anyone inside in the resulting debris. Anyone inside can make an Agility test, TN 4 
  to escape, but if three or more people succeed, they all get in each other’s way and only 
  the person with the highest Agility score will get out of the building in time. Ties are 
  resolved by the higher of the two Strength scores.
  It will take 30 minutes to free anyone caught inside from the debris safely. No one
  will take any damage from this collapse, it’s more of a nuisance than a deadly trap.
  The Rocket Ship
  After going around a mound of junked sinks and toilets, the searchers will be 
  confronted by wondrous sight: A fully intact, honest to God, Buck Rogers’ Rocket Ship. 
  The name emblazoned on its side is “X-12 Gamma Blaster”. The cabin door is open and 
  if it’s night, a light will shine from the inside. 
  Inside is something out of a 1930’s pulp magazine. A cockpit more suited for an 
  airplane than a spaceship, controls consisting or rheostats, knobs, levers, and plenty of 
  buttons and guillotine switches. 
  Sadly, while the ship has power, whatever it is that makes it fly is totally non-
  operational on the pokiwol. It seems that the engines come from a universe with 
  somewhat different laws of physics than Earth Prime’s. Still, there’s a lot of interesting 
  technology on this ship, including an armory full of blasters (operational), jet packs (non-
  operational and dangerous), and Space Patrol uniforms and badges. 
  Encourage the players to have their characters play with everything. This will set 
  things up for the next encounter.
  THE JUNKYARD DOG
  Where it’s from, it doesn’t know. It just knows that its not where it is supposed to 
  be. It also knows that it is damaged and needs to be repaired. So it has been scrounging
  the debris field now for weeks since it arrived.
