Assignment 1 - Completed

Life kind of bowled me over this week, I guess that means I'm due for several (5 to be exact) Hat of Shame pictures ... I guess that means that we need an actual Hat of Shame in order to take pictures with.  I guess that means there needs to be a hat finding expedition.

So, here is a list of all the ideas generated by Assignment 1.  We can now officially no longer say "I'd really like to write something, but I don't have any ideas."


1) Duo hired to retake small research station - For this one I kind of like the idea of an asteroid with an isolated station.  Secret work, mysterious goals.

6) Section of space station depressurizes - Mad scramble for survival, what's not to like about this?

7) A problem occurs on atmospheric re-entry - Going out in a blaze of glory is exciting.

8) A problem occurs while a space ship is docking - The massive bulk of space craft combine to use their powers for awesome... well, so long as you are not living on either one of them.

9) Sensitive information is stolen while under watch - who doesn't love a good theft?

10) Thief cracks a vault to discover that the prize is no longer there - theft and a mystery, can't go wrong with that.

16) Someone arrives at a meeting and discovers their (space) rival waiting for them.

17) Stealth mission, forest setting, night time with lots of stars. - Infiltrate hidden compound? Ambush a recon team? Free prisoners under escort?

18) Board meeting, job negotiations - Over charging desperate, crooked business?  Feeling out new clients?  Intel gathering?
