The Long Sleep (Shepherds of Life Campaign)

Recommended Posts

I have an idea I call the Long Sleep.

 

In it, the human race has wandered out into the galaxy and found life everywhere, but none of it very intelligent or even self-mobile. They decide to fix it. Using Deep Time Sleep Modules (whatever that is), the Sleepers engineer a few viruses (virii?) and go into the Long Sleep to await the emergence of intelligence. A powerful monitoring system alerts the Sleepers to threats to their project planet, and awakens them in an effort to preserve the project.  These projects can last millions of years.

 

Ideally, each Sleeper Team consists of 12 specialists who oversee various aspects of the project. They have almost complete autonomy, but coordinate with the Team Leader when required.

 

  • Team Leader
  • Combat Specialist
  • Thanatologist
  • Astrophysicist
  • Scholar
  • Explorer
  • Caretaker
  • Botanist
  • Mechanic
  • Biologist
  • Reactor Tech
  • Teacher

 

Eventually, the lifeforms they foster get a handle on living without their assistance and the team moves on, hopefully proud of the work they accomplished.

 

Every once in a while, the have to prune their gardens, or destroy worlds outright to protect the galaxy at large.
