Lost Worlds
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Lost Worlds is the second campaign in weird space. It is underway as of February 28, 2023, and is being run by Benjamin in Beamsaber. The main players are Courtney, Elliot, Elizabeth, Lauren, and Travis.
In-universe, it takes place in the year 780 AC. The story follows a specialized party who is sent deep into the unexplored Lost Worlds by a desperate Federation government. They are hoping to find two things: 1: any information or technology that might give the Federation a chance of turning the tide in their loosing war against The Trust, and 2: The truth behind the unsettling rumors that Citawhego is returning from beyond the edge of known space to reclaim their territory.
The team consists of Corvus Rubrum - a brilliant but delicate scientist who proposed an expedition in the deep Lost Worlds for his own reasons, Marion Maxwell - a well known reporter and anthropologist with experience on unassimilated worlds, Nero Simmons - a mysterious and unlucky pilot, Annie Woods - one of the best Arbits the lost worlds have ever seen, and Raleigh Manfred - a green recruit determined to search the Lost Worlds for his missing sister.
Outfitted on the old but reliable star ship the Parousia, the group sets out past the edges of charted space, with the cryptic musings of a () as their only guide.
