Owe My Soul to the Company Store

Owe My Soul to the Company Store is a political social sandbox for the Mothership Sci-Fi Horror RPG.

Every working citizen of Isotelus Complex has been "forked" - a copy of their mind made and loaded into a chitinous labor body on the surface while their baseline original works in orbit. 

The Complex is falling apart even as it’s being built. The space elevator hits its maximum safe stress level with every launch. Three ComSec rent-a-cops threw a dockworker out an airlock. Radical pamphlets spread like wildfire.

And as the first colonists arrive, and the labor bodies reach the end of their lifespans, things will only get worse - giving the players opportunities to bug offices, forge rumors, smuggle illegal goods, start riots, and assassinate officials.

Inside, find:

• 16 major NPCs, each with jobs, tools, problems, and hopes for the future of Isotelus—and 5 factions with longer-term aims.
  
• full maps of the Complex surface colony and its orbital twin.
• a timeline of the future, showing how the barely-stable situation starts to fall apart.
