The Escape Station

In deep space around the rim. There is a space station that is just orbiting a gas planet. You can hail it and it welcomes you abort. You are able to refuel and get food and all type of supplies. The first thing you realize is that the place is very clean and well taken care of. That is probably because everything is automatic and taken care of by some form of robot or drone. You will have a great day, where you enjoy everything you want to do at the station. This is all for a low price than anywhere you pay out on the rim. Know if you try to leave on the same day you arrived. They will give you a compelling reason why you cannot leave. Such as something happening to the docking Bay or they have to fix the fuel pump. They will then guarantee you your ship will be refilled first thing in the morning. They will be willing to call your room for the inconvenience.   The room you get is a lovely room no matter if you're compt or you got a room. There's a fully stocked bar, great beds, and a nice relaxing setup. You'll have the best sleep you ever have in a longest time. You won't even remember when you passed out. That might be because of the gas that they slip in at a certain time.   The next you know you are waking in a different room with the same bed. All that you find in the room is a tv wall monitor. When you wake up and look at it. It turns on, a silhouette of a man on screen looking and said. ” good morning ready to play the game” No matter what you answer. The silhouette man responded and said ”good time to set difficulty." Then the screen then start to show your personal record. It shows you every bad thank, Every illegal action, dirty deal, and anything everything on your record even stuff you are accused of or have possibly done. It seems to get it from all over the known Galaxy and even in your personal records. depending on how much evil themed and or accused of will set how hard it is to play the game.   The silhouette man will explain to you your difficulty and that the game is for you to escape out alive. So, the harder it is the more deadly it is. Where some of the puzzles might have you, sacrificing a body part to solve it. There is also trapped and other hazards to get in your way. The time limit you have is how long you can survive. The longest amount of time you have this technically three days for most species because you won't be able to survive without water. The shortest time is how fast you bleed out or fail a test that has deadly consequences. This will also be broadcast throughout the entire Galaxy but untraceable to find it. You can find your way out and once you get to your ship you are free to leave. like they said it will be full gas and filled with supplies all ready for you to leave but very few have ever escaped. So good luck
