Distress Beacon

Distress Beacon is one of the Meorcl Quests in The Long Journey Home.

Description
When the player jumps into a system, he might receive the signal of a distress beacon of something that looks like a wreckage. Once arrived at the wreckage it turns out to be a quiz show. The player cannot deny the participation. QUIZMASTER Tahrahaxis will guide the player through THE GREAT QUIZ, against three competitors (Subbeq, K'schar, Dreg). The questions have to be answered within 10:00s each. Correct answers mean credits, wrong answers, or timeouts an arbitrary injury for a crew member. The first question gives 100, the second question 200, and the third question 150.

QUIZMASTER Tahrahaxis chooses three of the following eight questions:

Correct answers are marked in green, wrong answers are marked in red. The questions are randomly chosen, so luck decides, whether the unfair question is among them. The player receives the credits after answering all questions. If the player answers all of them correctly, he will additionally get a life-sized Statue of the Quizmaster.

If the crew would die due to the inflicted injuries by the QUIZMASTER, the quiz is aborted and the player receives 1 for participating. If the player is in possession of a Psionic Blocker, QUIZMASTER Tahrahaxis will decide, that the player is not allowed to participate.
