Something something DEM TEETH.

In a technologically advanced underground world, a thief named Hok steals a rare and illegal compilation A.I., represented by the voices of /quest/. With its help, he and the insanely deadly Rokoa begin a profitable string of disasters, death, and explosions. Then again, that seems to be a common occupation here.

This quest makes fairly extensive use of Inside the Quest, providing lots of background information on the characters and setting, as well as often filling in unanswered questions and epilogues between plot arcs. Rokoa first shows up near the end of thread 6, and the rest of the cast dominate thread 7 (even Chee helps out at one point).

Current stats and inventory for Polo Quest can be found here.

This article contains spoilers! You were warned.

Major Story Arcs

Asteroid Quest ends up as something of a large, complicated thing, encompassing several major plot arcs, lots of characters, perspective swapping, at least two different planet(oid)s, and different time zones. The fact that intermissions and side stories have a tendency to grow larger then the main quest doesn't help any.

To make things easier for the reader (and so you can do something as simple as looking up who a character was again with incurring lots and lots of spoilers) this article has been broken into parts, by story arc.

Stuck in a box

AsteroidQuest

In his attempts to escape a storage box he's been sealed inside, Hok, miklik thief extraordinaire, discovers a rare and illegal compilation AI. With the CAI's questionable and somewhat erratic advice and extraordinary hacking abilities, he embarks on the previously mentioned string of disasters, death, and explosions.

Everyone's favorite vacation spot

AsteroidQuest Intermission

In the past, and in dangerous wilds of the neumono homeworld, a green native and an offworld tourist climb a spire of the Untameable Needles on what is supposed to be a simple hunting trip. If the thread-count didn't tip you off, things end up being more complicated then they bargained for.

The Asteroid Again

Back to the future! Asteroid. Both, really. Things pick up at the trade hub the morning after the events of thread 1, and we get down to the the business of managing the trade hub and making zenny. No longer playing exclusively as the CAI, our perspective bounces around a bit. We meet some new characters too, where we find out what it's like working for the space mafia.

Polo Quest

Back to the past, Polo, and neumono homeworld. It's been several months since her last mission, and now she's been assigned to an inspection team as part of the effort to tie up some loose ends from last time.

Polo Quest has a separate page for tracking current stats and inventory.

Three Stripes Intermission

Three Stripes and his neumono buddies adjust to life outside the spire and away from the Salikai and deal with strange outsider neumono instead.

This ain't canon, baby.

Polokoa Quest

A full fledged fanquest, by Jukashi. This spinoff takes place in an absurd, over the top alternate universe where Polo and Rokoa managed to end up fused into one person. It's recommended you read at least through the second Asteroid story arc if you want to recognize all the characters who show up.
