Hey there, action, adventure, comedy, romance, adventure, action, fun, and adventure fans! This is the Editor. Who am I? Don’t ask so many questions. Because you’re holding a copy of the most action-adventurous periodical in the known galaxy:

TALES FROM BEYOND THE FRINGE!

You have been selected to take advantage of a suspiciously good offer – a free subscription to TFBTF locked to your personal datachron! The only catch? As part of the Nexus Challenge Subscription Program, you’ll get to collect the
keys to unlock each issue yourself! Here’s how it works:

1. In every region of Nexus, you’ll find datapads containing a piece of an exciting Tales from Beyond the Fringe story. Each piece of the TFBTF file forms a part of the decryption code for that story. This complimentary issue is unlocked by three keys, but full issues may require seven or more!

2. Collect all of the available keys in that region to unlock that issue of TALES FROM BEYOND THE FRINGE! (You can keep track of how many keys you’ve
unlocked by checking the handy “Lore” tab of your standard-issue datachron device.)

3. Once they’re unlocked, your issues of TFBTF will be available on your datachron for you to read and reference whenever you like!

4. Having trouble finding all of the keys? That’s why the subscription is free! Well, that, and I like sticking it to the suits at my corporate publisher. So readers are encouraged to discuss and share the locations of TFBTF keys so that everyone can enjoy the thrilling narratives that
make up every issue of this spectacularly popular publication.

WARNING: Many TFBTF fans have contacted the Editor concerning the “journals” which you may find scattered across the surface of the planet Nexus and elsewhere. Please note that although these journals may superficially resemble TALES FROM BEYOND THE FRINGE! components in some cases, they are not the same! TALES FROM BEYOND THE FRINGE! is not responsible for any mental or physical trauma that may result from you reading journals that do not
belong to you, nor can we offer refunds for things you found just lying around. For that matter, there can be no refunds for this complimentary subscription to TALES FROM BEYOND THE FRINGE! as you cannot refund a total cost of zero.

So thanks for reading, everyone. We’ll see you…BEYOND THE FRINGE!

(This complimentary introductory issue has been produced in accordance with Dominion legal code, with the official approval of the emperor, his ministers, and his governors. Scions save Myrcalus!)

Ariov’s GOOP GAQ

Lore

Technologist Ariov reporting.

After locating this Eldan device – a “GOOP cannon,” as it were – I have compiled a GAQ – Generally Asked Questions – to explain its workings. Of course, these are questions I, myself, asked when I found the device. I assume that my like-minded peers would ask similar questions.

Without further ado….

What is GOOP?

GOOP is an Eldan acronym for Gelatinous self-Organizing Omni-Plasm, a substance that carries the microscopic nanites responsible for
constructing the mechanical enhancements that are characteristic of all augmented creatures.

What does this GOOP cannon do?

The specific nanites in this weapon are programmed to analyze the physiological properties of the host and damage their vital systems.

How do the nanites affect mechanical beings?

Although their physiology is different, nanites use the vast collection of information gathered by the Eldan to identify the systems the host uses for operating. Regardless of
being flesh and blood or tin and steel, nanites can bring their target to a halt.

How do I use the GOOP cannon?

Target the ground beneath your subject and fire. The GOOP explosion should hit any nearby creatures, at which point the nanites will invade their host and begin their operations.

What if I am accidentally exposed to GOOP?

Why… that’s a good question, and one for which I do not have an answer. I assume the GOOP will reduce you to your component humours, but I have yet to test
this theory. To be thorough, I suppose I should do just that.

Koral: Order of the Shapers

———————————————————————–

Exanite. There is no more perfect substance in the known universe. Composed of equal amounts of each of the six primal elements, it possesses incomparable strength and density, along with other exotic physical and chemical properties that lesser races might describe as supernatural. It is also extremely rare. If present at all, most planets only contain trace amounts of exanite. But of course, Nexus is not most planets…

Zarkonis: Order of the Makers

———————————————————————–

The Archon has once again called upon my superior intellect. As the conclusion of the Nexus Project approaches, the Archon feels as if this facility requires even greater security than our already formidable systems provide. As this may indeed be my last project before my imminent ascension to greatness, I plan to design a weapon of such size and destructive power that it will ensure my place in the annals of galactic history.

Zarkonis: Order of the Makers

———————————————————————–

I did not think it possible, but I have created a weapon system that is worthy of my inconceivably vast intellect. Although I rarely divulge the secrets behind my engineering genius, in this case I will make an exception. After speaking with the Shapers, I became aware of a fairly significant vein of exanite beneath here – and I’ve used it to amplify the cannon’s destructive output. The result is almost frightening.
There may be nothing in the known universe that could withstand its virtually immeasurable power.

It comes as no surprise that I have been chosen as one of the six. Rumors abound that Ohmna turned down the opportunity before it was offered to me, but I am quite certain that such talk merely reflects the jealousy of my mostly incompetent colleagues. Although I am not sure that I relish the idea of surrendering my individual consciousness into the more collective intellect of the Genesis Prime, refusing such an offer is completely out of the question.

The sight of these machines inevitably makes me melancholy. Bold and courageous explorers, they decided to brave the dark reaches of the unknown and were destroyed by what they found when they arrived there. Were their dreams and desires so very different from our own? And how profound their horror when they realized the extent of their mistake?
