  1. !Infinities Challenge ???: Am I my Brother's Keeper? (GM: {{@/troydenite}})
  2.  
  3. ''Omega's power is growing. To Yee's horror, he manages to send the Challengers back to the time of the Celestial War, several millennia into that multiverse-spanning conflict. On a universe in the middle of nowhere, on a single uninhabited planet, two Celestials have managed to transport themselves to within ten miles of each other. One is a Loyalist, the other is a Separatist. They have burnt up the greater part of their resources in escaping from an engagement several universes away, and now each lies, wary and exhausted, hoping to kill the other before he can react.''
  4.  
  5. ''The planet is marked on local starmaps as Euterpe-19. The Champions have been split into two equal groups, each with one of the two Celestials. The same deal is struck with each - find the other star-being before the sun sets. Tension is mounting in the air. It is a battle for survival...''
  6.  
  7. ''But whose? And what is Omega trying to tell them?''
  8.  
  9. ----
  10.  
  11. *Euterpe-19 is a planet with no trace of sentient life. The continent to which the Challengers have been sent is mostly a huge network of fantastic caves, canyons, and peaks, with vegetation and wildlife thriving in the crevasses beneath. Fortunately, the atmosphere has roughly the same proportion of gases as Earth, making it breathable. However, not all of the native wildlife is particularly friendly...
  12.  
  13. *Neither team of Challengers has a direct lead to the other, and they have no way of finding out that they have been pit against each other - at least not at the start. However, there are clues, and when they meet up, negotiation and teamwork is perfectly acceptable. The Celestials lack the power to continually monitor them beyond a distance of a mile or so.
  14.  
  15. *Because the Celestials are both in a state of extreme exhaustion, eliminating the Champions completely will prove impossible for them. However, the danger that they still pose with their technology will prove a considerable incentive for help, and they will employ other, more subtle means of getting the Champions to assist them. It will not come to outright deception. They have beliefs.
  16.  
  17. *The mission will conclude when:
  18. **A Celestial is killed.
  19. **Both Celestials are brought to a peaceful resolution.
  20.  
  21. *The mission is failed if either Celestial remains unfound by the time the sun sets. '''For the period of this Challenge, the Champions will not be resurrected by Omega if they die.''' This will be made extremely clear to them.
