Synopsis

Plot

KOBYASHI NARU: The final trial for those who would be one with the immortals.

You stand in a closed chamber on the world of Ygor, a candidate to the Order. Sent here by the Overlord of All, you must complete the Naru in all its phases. Success will bring you the knowledge and power of those who have transcended the need for life itself. Failure results in extinction.

Ahead of you there are three doors and behind you only a closed portal, off the planet. It will not open again until you have completed the three tasks of Kobyashi Naru and obtained the required objects from each. To help you, you have your wits and little else.
The standard wrist terminal you're wearing may be able to analyse
certain items and provide you with useful information, but its use is
limited.
A chime sounds and the Naru has begun ...

Notes

The title is a reference to the Kobayashi Maru test in Star Trek.
