Arcane Tower

 Trying this again. Hopefully everyone can make it.

Not sure whats for dinner yet, I have a few options and I’ll pick based on what I feel like when I wake up.

You’ve taken the path offered by the Artificial Intelligence, and stepped into his “Room of Requirement”. It is an extra-dimensional path that leads you to what you need, not necessarily what you want. You goal is to save the archology that has been abducted wholly by the controllers of the military unit manipulating you into the alternate universe; planting it on Sigir Alpha, a tiny planet with earth-normal gravity in spite of being less than 1% its size. The archology is apparently a crippled or incomplete space ship, but isn’t safe on the alien planet with hostile bugs moving towards it.

You need to somehow get the archology back to its location on Earth, your Earth. The A.I. told you he didn’t know the best way, but that you would find a solution if you used his Room of Requirement (and he chuckled at the Harry Potter Reference that is out dated in 2096). After navigating the extra-dimensional labyrinth, you emerged in a medieval-looking room, each from a different portal on the perimeter of the circular room looking towards the throne on a raise platform, standing with strangely dressed nobles. Your power armor isn’t with you, so you appear in the undersuits you normally wear under the power armor.

You are greeted with much ceremony and told the name of the Great House you are summoned to join and serve. You are subjected to the houses training regime which granted you archetypal skills and abilities of the house, which means their members are skilled and powerful (You each gained am arcane background, one skill point for the arcane background, then three skill points for smart-related skills through this training).

You have been issued plasma pistols and symbolic swords along with appropriate attire for you house and archetype. (Armor is +4 armor, +2 toughness, can be worn under clothing and a cloak/cape with house symbol on it adding +2 armor and +1 toughness. Plasma pistol is range 5/10/20, 2d10 damage (+2d6 on a raise). Sword is a Psi-Blade, Str + d8 AP 4, may spend ISP to increase the damage by two points (max +6 dmg))

You are being sent on a mission to meet with the emperor to discuss the recent reduction in unobtanium shipments to the great houses. It is expected that this will result in the house scions (the summoned heroes) being sent on a ridiculous quest. You are promised great (but unspecified) rewards upon successful return, and to be sent back to your home dimension when complete. So far, the training seems to have made the trip worth it as most of the heroes have studied the advanced science of this dimension and may be able to apply it to upgrading or fixing the archology. 

 Your goal is to get something that will help you "save" the archology from the situation of being moved to a hostile planet. You don't know what you'll find, only that the path you took to get here was supposed to provide an answer.

 The adventure is a book adventure based on the science fiction companion, I'm trying to find a way to include components of another adventure.
