    Did you know that the US has more Summer Olympics gold medals than any other country has total Summer Olympics medals?

    Listen, those events are very complicated. There's a lot of running involved!

    Everything up here is either a tree or a polar bear, where are we supposed to go running?

    ....is this where I mention that the US crushes everybody but Norway in the Winter Olympics as well?

    You head towards the palace of this city's ruler and, most curiously, pass no one in the streets. Where are the inhabitants of the city? Is it a bank holiday? Are they all at the beach? The palace might hold answers, as well as someone in authority who can help you with your repairs. If they're friendly, that is.

    The palace is a glorious building made from the same white alloy as the towers, but decorated with intricately wrought images depicting what you assume is the history of this world. Insectoid beings toil and war and build and reach for the stars across the course of the friezes in a way that cannot fail but move the heart of one who has sword allegiance to the ideals of the Federation. Atop the palace sits a highly sophisticated missile system. At the very least you need to get them to turn it off.

    Let's see how you're doing and how that affects your choices. If the Alien Marker is in the Friendly position and the Autarch knows you're coming, turn to page 50 for a warm welcome. You will be an ambassador for the Federation!

    If not, you brush the last of the faint traces of vaporised alien matter from your uniform and head round the back for a more discreet entrance on page 241.

    this is what happens when you let a bunch of people from one country make up sports using rules that ensure they'll be really good at all those sports

    Biathlon style fishing. Run up to mountain lake, catch target species, run back. Maybe do checkpoints around the countryside with several target fish to catch.

    Marit Bjørgen won gold today

    one more, and she'll be the most-winning winter olympian ever


    although the top three - Bjørndalen, Dæhlie, Bjørgen - have 8-4-1, 8-4-0, 7-4-2 right now so it's not exactly leaps and bounds ahead, here

    we did invent the biathlon but, to be fair, when we made the rules, it included full-size caliber rifles, a requirement of backpacks, also each team had to have an officer with a pistol who did not participate in the shooting, so it was a bit different

    although, to me, who have to be reminded how each skiing competition works every time one is on, I feel there are a bit too many olympics sports that are "ski the fastest"

    but then again the summer olympics kind of seems like it's mostly many, many variations of "run the fastest"

    I like it better when the US isn't winning all the medals. Makes it feel better when some upstart kid makes a run and wins a medal that she wasn't supposed to compete for. I mean, this works for all countries, but when it's an American, it's fun for me because I'm from America.

    Summer games basketball is the absolute worst competition to watch, except for the one time in ten years that Spain or whoever fields an NBA team too.

    I didn’t get to see black panther last night and forgot to refund my tickets in time. Chelle had to work an hour late then we had to go pick out a new sofa and chair because ours are falling apart and it is a President’s day sale and it’s really hard on Chelle to get out on a weekend after a work week. So that sucks.

    I might go see it solo. It depends on Chelle’s desire level to see it with me. Not sure where she’s at fanwise on Black Panther. Comic book movies are enjoyable for her but not like her favorite thing ever. She loves iron man because come on RDJ and she loves Thor because she likes mythology stuff. I mean I know that’s true but I know it’s really about Hemsworth. She knows I don’t get jealous of that shit, but just won’t own up to it. How I know she’s lying? She loved Ragnarok but whenever the trailers came out or the subject comes up now? “Why did they cut his hair I hate that I liked his old hair”

    Girrrrrrl.

    Hmmm. Yes, well, some aliens were killed, some mistakes were made, and possibly you need a better plan than rocking up and asking for help. You sidle round the side of the port looking for something resembling a service entrance. Where is everyone?

    You find something resembling a very tall door with a sign saying "Maintenance" above it. It's unlocked, and opens quietly at a gentle touch. You tiptoe inside, and find yourself in the shadowy corder of an immense hanger bay, filled with craft in various states of repair and many, many useful looking tools and spare parts. Underneath one of the craft you can see two legs sticking out as a technician apparently performs repairs. A high-pitched squeaking sound from underneath the craft may be whistling.

    On one of the walls of the bay you can see a rack of incredibly dangerous but apparently deactivated drones.

    Does the glimmering of a plan occur to you, o unofficial ambassador of Starfleet, the exploratory and military wing of the United Federation of Planets, dedicated to peaceful coexistence and harmony among the stars?

    Certainly it does. You will reprogram the drones to kill the technician and then saunter out with everything you need on page 43.

    Wait, what? By no means! You will carefully tiptoe into the bay, steal the tools and parts you need and carry them out without disturbing the technician and betraying the ideals of all you hold dear on page 34.

    Neither of the above appeals to you, and you will stride into the room, point your phaser at the technician and demand he give you what you need on page 91.
