The Alarm Is Raised
Type: Agenda
Encounter Set: Dark Side of the Moon
Doom Threshold: 5
Your escape route is cut off as a pack of lithe creatures surrounds you. At first glance, you believe them to be cats, but they are only vaguely catlike in shape. What you mistook for fur is more akin to a series of patterns, like strange filigrees. You silently pray for aid…
Shuffle the encounter discard pile into the encounter deck.
Raise each investigator’s alarm level by 1.
Check Campaign Log. If the investigators forced their way into the temple, read the following:
…but nobody comes.
The lead investigator searches the encounter deck and discard pile for 1 copy of Cats from Saturn and draws it.
Otherwise, read the following:
…and to your surprise, an army of cats lands in front of you, having leaped through the void of space itself. You recognize the cat at the head of the formation as the grey old cat with the scar you met months ago. “Go, human!” he yells. “We will hold them off!”

Your pace quickens as the creatures’ pursuit grows more frenzied with each passing minute. The silence you once cursed is broken; the awful piercing screeches that punctuate the night are even worse.

The lake of black ichor below the surface of the Moon is miles wide and bubbles with warm, noxious pockets of gas. Most of the lake bed is completely solid, and it seems for a moment that Randolph’s plan is a dead end after all. Then, you take a final step, and your foot is caught by…nothing. Before you can react, you are yanked under the surface. You try to shout a warning to your companions, but your words are swallowed by the black core, along with the rest of your body. Your lungs barely have air. You struggle not to scream as you are carried by a fierce undertow. When you finally emerge, you are in another chamber just like the one you came from, only you can see a shaft of light piercing through the grey crust above you. Moments later, the rest of your party emerges. “Did we make it?” Virgil asks. “Why, I thought that was the end, for sure. This will make for an exciting chapter!”
Put the set-aside Caverns Beneath the Moon (Light Side), Light Side of the Moon, and The White Ship locations into play.

You suspend your disbelief and descend beneath the Moon’s crust. In order to reach the other side of the Moon, you must make your way though its black core, a transdimensional fluid from which nightmares are born.

The entirety of the Moon’s denizens are raised against you now. Behind every corner, a group of Corsairs lies in wait, or a pack of hunting cats lurks to herd you toward its vicious masters. The skies above swarm with winged beasts and black galleys. If you cannot find a way back to Earth, you will surely be captured.

Unexpected Rescue
Type: Act
Encounter Set: Dark Side of the Moon
Clue Threshold: –
Objective – Find a way off the Moon. (You will be instructed when to advance.)
With your party safely aboard the White Ship, you beseech its captain to leave the Moon at once. You have no desire to stay in this perilous place any longer than you have to. “Not yet,” the captain replies with an amiable smile. You plead with him, but he raises a hand in a gesture of silence, peering out into the distance. You squint against the light from the sun, which hangs static in the dark sky. There, miles away, you spot the thing that drew the captain’s eye: a bird with many wings and even more colors, its feathers bright and vivid. It perches on a ruined stone structure and preens itself. Then, just as your patience is beginning to wear thin, it launches itself into space, and the captain pulls up the ship’s anchor.

The surface of the light side of the Moon is patrolled by ships that sail through the windless sky. One, however, looks different from the rest. Its hull is stark and shining, casting a white glow into the night. “The White Ship!†breathes Randolph.
