We're entering Solaris to beat up all the fascists, kill their leaders, and save the world. Our discussion and activities include wondering why Krelian let Emeralda go, denying the compulsion to adopt Maria, worrying about Hammer time, getting in shipping containers, realizing most of the fictional Solarian hellscape is 2020's actual hellscape, escaping with Samson, removing Samson from the physical plane, engaging The Chewbacca Defense, Entrenstrolling, either killing or returning to Mother God, dying our hair blue, and listening to government propaganda. Our friends will be disposed of in the Soylent System to revive the Gazel of old.
