October 17, 2024 Anything Can Be A Poison Chalice
In this episode we find out what happened to the survivors of our very first episode... the Captain and Medical Officer from the fallen DSV Sheffield. 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. The Malanki made it to the crashed debris of the DSV Sheffield's bridge and activated a beacon.

October 03, 2024 Anyone Can Choose A Homeworld
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.

September 25, 2024 Anything Could Be An Endangered Species
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.

September 11, 2024 Anything Could Lead To Mutually Assured Destruction
This episode we find ourselves on a first contact mission in a prescribed region of United Federal Republic space which has been set aside for a developing planetary system. The MSV Lascelles has been dispatched with a crew of First Contact officers and Cultural Pollution Specialists to appraise the suitability of making initial contact with the population.
This culture seems about to emerge into the wider galactic society... are they ready to be introduced to the neighbours and of course anything could happen...

September 03, 2024 Anyone Can Get The Power They Need
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.

August 29, 2024 Anyone Could Get An Escape Pod
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.
