In this episode, we find ourselves in the K2-18 system, orbiting K2-18b—a confirmed Hycean planet more than 100 light-years from Earth. With a surface cloaked in thick hydrogen-rich clouds, and a vast ice-covered ocean beneath, K2-18b has long been thought to be one of the most likely candidates for alien life. The UFR Research Icebreaker Louis S. St-Laurent has recently established orbit following the deployment of a new hydrogen-atmospheric descent rig—allowing limited surface access for the first time. But operating through the planet’s cloud layer is costly, risky, and requires corporate sponsorship. GlacioDyne, a deep-extraction conglomerate, has funded the mission. Their goal: authorise full ice crust penetration, enabling access to volatile-rich sublayers and potential energy sources. But just days ago, the science team detected something unexpected: Life. A vast colony of complex multicellular myco-gelid (ultra low-temperature adaptive fungal-like) organisms have been found embedded in the ice—potentially unique to K2-18b containing a unique organic chemistry What does this mean for the mission and who owns the rights for exploration? Well Anything Could Happen… CAST: Sabrina Stubbs (she/her): Project Commander: Carman Chris Payne (he/him): GlacioDyne Senior Engineer: John Woodrow Lucie Prunier (she/her): UFR Scientific Oversight Officer: Lucicl Hem Cleveland (she/her): Mission Science Lead: Benji Cople HOST: Oscar Clark EDITOR: Elliott Clark SCENARIO: Oscar Clark --- Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/kevin-macleod/new-direction License code: EOPCFS6UIIFJBVAL NOTES: Format and narrative background are adapted from 'WestPoint: Extra Planetary Academy' created by Oscar Clark with additional material by David Hankins ALL RIGHTS RESERVED © Stormlantern Productions 2025 AnythingCouldHappen Show is part of the Fable and Folly Network (https://fableandfolly.com/) Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we find ourselves in the LHS 1140 system, orbiting LHS 1140b—a rocky Super-Earth in the habitable zone just 49 light-years from Earth. Its thick atmosphere and gravity make colonisation tricky, but its mineral resources have drawn interest from across the UFR and beyond. The UFR Colonial Claimant Department has taken residence on the newly established Orbital Station “Kite's End” and have just finished it;s preliminary assessment, and three competing groups—each with partial legal rights—have arrived to finalise terms. On the surface, things look diplomatic. But tensions are high. And it’s not just about land...CAST: Sabrina Stubbs (she/her): UFR Colonial Arbitrator Leslie David Chris Payne (he/him): Indigenous Rights Council Liaison William Lindholt Lucie Prunier (she/her): Ascension Group Rep Lucight Hem Cleveland (she/her): Kalvex Collective Envoy Arla Stonewell HOST: Oscar Clark EDITOR: Elliott Clark SCENARIO: Oscar Clark --- Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/kevin-macleod/new-direction License code: EOPCFS6UIIFJBVAL NOTES: Format and narrative background are adapted from 'WestPoint: Extra Planetary Academy' created by Oscar Clark with additional material by David Hankins ALL RIGHTS RESERVED © Stormlantern Productions 2025 Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we find ourselves on the RSV Golden Grove, a civilian research vessel looking for a location to test an experimental Terraforming system. The Providence device is a nano-bot generator which creates all the infrastructure required to start processing atmospheric conditions to develop a standard atmosphere suitable for the principal species of the United Federal Republic. Entering the Ross 128 system against the backdrop of its small red sun, there are 2 systems which were never colonized, despite being just 11 light years from Earth. Which planet will they choose? and of course... Anything could happen!

In this episode, we find ourselves on the ESV Astrolabe, a civilian deep space exploration vessel with a contract to investigate a remote region of space, beyond normal Trade routes. There have been reports of rogue radio signals in this extra-stellar region that have sparked crazy stories of orphan planets or abandoned precursor megastructures.

However, some of the survivors from their Malanki attackers have managed to turn on the distress beacon. But is that going to bode well and bring a rescue or attract the wrong kind of interest? After the events of Episode 1, we find four survivors on a distant moon drawn to the burning ruins of the ships; The Captain and Medical Officer of the DSV Sheffield and two Malanki officers… the astral battle is still fresh in each of their minds.

This episode we find ourselves on WayStation 173 on the border with Jebarr space as tensions are rising. Whilst the conflict with the Jebarr ended over 35 years ago, numerous issues remain, with displaced colonists, scavenger vessels and conflicts over property rights. This committee is responsible for finding equitable solutions for the affected citizens on both sides. The planet ownership is in dispute between a UFR mining colony extracting exotic heavy metals from the planet’s surface and a Jebarr clan who claim the world as a traditional training ground. It is the committee’s job to resolve whose claim is the most valid. And remember that anything could happen. Committee Chairwoman K.

Anything Could Be An Endangered Species
Wed, 25 Sep 2024 03:30:00 -0000
In this episode, the crew of the MSV Ansun has come to investigate a small terraforming colony that recently failed to respond to a regular check-in call, probably just equipment failure. But in space, Anything Could Happen! The MSV Ansun is in orbit around Gliese 163 c, just 49 light-years from Earth. This third planet in the system is a ‘Super-Earth’ planet in the light of a Red Dwarf in what could be described as the southern constellation of Dorado. This planet has an orbital period of just 26 days but a mass of 6.9 Earths and although it is technically in the star's habitable zone, the average temperature of 60 deg. C. It has an eccentricity estimated to be just 0.03, giving it a fairly circular orbit and polar areas that are significantly colder, closer to Earth’s temperate zones. What has happened to the colonists and why are they not responding to hails? We shall find out when Anything Could Happen.

This episode we find ourselves back in deep space in the territory of the future civilisation of the United Federal Republic. This time we find ourselves on the Diplomatic Deck of Starbase Proxima-147. We join an emergency session of the Attributions Committee who have to decide where to send urgently needed, potentially life-saving, resources. A batch of power crystals has arrived at the Starbase. There is currently a significant shortage of these resources - and rumours that previous batches have gone missing. The crystals are vital for military supply for patrol vessels, running civilian life-support and terraforming systems as well as various scientific applications. The committee has to decide where these resources will be allocated before the session ends.

Welcome to the show where 'Anything Could Happen' - a real play experience where we pit the players against problems that have no simple answer, incomplete information and always against the clock This episode we find ourselves in deep space in the far future, an era of faster than light travel at the edge of the territory of a future civilisation known as the United Federal Republic. We join the remaining bridge crew of the Deep Space Vessel DSV Sheffield which was out on a routine patrol at the UFR border along edge of the Orion-Spur of the Milky Way. They have just survived an encounter with a new aggressive civilisation. The Malanki. The three smaller vessels attacked them without provocation and whilst the Sheffield defended itself valiantly, destroying the aggressors, the victory is a pyrrhic one and the captain knows that the ship is doomed. Most of the crew survived, making their way to the life-pods heading to a nearby habitable world but in a cruel twist of fate all of the other senior officers are amongst the lost leaving 114 inexperienced ratings. Now only four people remain on the command bridge.
