It is the year 2072
The discovery of the Roddenberry Wormhole has galvanized Humanity
The leading experts and engineers have studied this anomaly
With newfound vigor, humanity has spent years building a new ship
A ship unlike any other, the Reliant
But what was meant to be a short mission to and from, turned into disaster
The Wormhole began to collapse, and before the ship could return, it closed
Now stranded in unknown space, the Crew of the Reliant must do everything they can to make it home...

Welcome to the Voyage of the Reliant, a new CYoA story by yours truly. Like all CYoA stories, there will be chapters written each "turn" and will end on a decision for the players to vote on. Whichever decision is voted on will be played through the next chapter, and rinse and repeat. However, this Story will also have a random element to it with Dice rolls for most actions taken by the crew and ship. This is to raise the stakes and take away any certainty that might be assumed from an action.
- No Second Chances - If something catastrophic happens, we move on, there will be no resets, if we die, game over
- Every action Viable - I can't throw in obvious choices and all Choices must be relatively equal in consequence
- At Least 500 Words per Chapter - I must make each Chapter substantial and worth reading
Each Crew Member will have their own primary Skill that can be used to increase the odds of success for different tasks, as well as unique personalities and mindsets. All players are free to write journal entries for the character as long as they do not contradict written canon or their personalities.

I know all my Rocket Science from KSP, so don't expect this to be a very well researched story outside of the basics. I am not totally ignorant either, but I figured I'd better get this spoken before I get lynched by the internet's collective genius
