The settlement of Bullseye

11 Jun, 2026

An outpost, three connected burrows, a hidden mystery.

Bullseye (settlement)

RELIGIOUS. Home of a flock of the Long Vigil, a group of Droids that wait for the Departed Gods to return. Phaged Scrap is forbidden, as the Vigil expects the Gods to judge them on their morals when they return.

X SHAPED. One big building made from scavenged metal places and cables. The roof of the big X is sweeped by the Vigils constantly, kept clean and visible from space. Little to no private spaces, everything is communed.

FOUR CORNERS. Each extremity holds a barebones outpost and a guard. Recovering from a recent raid.

DROIDS

Boberson Smithjohn. Limps on a rusted leg. A force of personality. (B4 M6 S9, Arm: Fast Droid Repair Tool Kit)

• Leader of this Vigil and settlement. Immense devotion for the Creators, even calling himself a human name.

• Good for his followers, but will stay here and wait even as entropy devours Droids in Bullseye.

• WANTS the party to go to the two burrows next to the settlement in order to investigate Rumor #1 and #2. Will force Readie into accompanying if the Party suggests they can be of help.

Readie. Lost his left arm in the recent attack. A coward. (B3 M9 S4, Other: Selfpreservation directive chip)

• Bullseye's Droid of science. Out of place, but well kept by Boberson for deciphering the holy scriptures.

• Claims it can't be helped they are weak and scared, as that was how they were built. Envies and dislikes UM3305 for his bravery.

• Good with human words, bad with droid words. Knows ALL rumors and if they are true, but doesn't want people to know that.

• WANTS to be left alone and will refuse to go unless ordered to.

Unit Model 3305X2. Guard coordinator. Utilitarian. A dull, efficient Droid. Armed. (B8 M6 S5, Leg: Spiked soles)

• Defended Bullseye in the last heavy raid attack. Has the respect and fear of the Droids. Has the Guard under his command.

• WANTS the party to find out the mysteries of Rumor #2, and use that to demoralize Boberson and help UM3305 raise as a new, more efficient leader.

SECRETS AND RUMORS

• 1. Each burrow holds a key to open a third, secret burrow.
• 2. The secret burrow was protected to test the Droids, to prove to the Creators they mastered their tech and can now return. [FALSE]
• 3. Both burrows hold a unfinished excavation project to the same point, apparently converging below Bullseye.
• 3. The secret burrow holds a Dimmed.
• 4. The secret burrow holds the purpose of this cluster: they achieved the center of the excavation project, a colossal chamber that had to be accessed from below. Inside, a True Mystery (consult the Mysteries table for the next True Mystery).¹
