Seventeen & Maldusk: A Supernatural Soap Opera

Thanks for reading (viewing?)! These types of "silent" chapters will appear from time to time. They show things happening elsewhere in the world, the meanings of which will become clear gradually, or at some point in the future. The mystery girl will turn up again... but where? :wink:

A little fun personal history of Sims 4 and me. When I first bought Jungle Adventure, way back whenever that was, and I was playing around trying out the temple exploration for the first time and I saw this carving:



And I thought it looked like a space ship. Don't ask me why. That's just how my brain works. And because of the common movie trope (and some of the sillier conspiracy theories) that various ancient monuments were built by aliens, and the fact that the Sims 4 game already had aliens in it, I just assumed it was a clever joke poking fun at that.

Later, when I was digging around in build mode, I actually read the description. It's name says it is the Omisca "poison glyph". There's no further explanation besides a quote from the Omisca Death Myth, but it kind of looks like a flower, so maybe the flower is poisonous. Not sure.

But deep in my heart of hearts, it will always be a flying saucer. :lol: So let's just say that here, in this Sim-story world, there is a popular conspiracy theory that this glyph (despite archaeologists and the descendants of the Omiscan people themselves repeatedly saying it represents poison) is an alien space ship.
